TW none i think :]
-------------* . ` ✧*˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♤ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ * ✧`. *------------- You closed the hood of your rented car with more force than it was needed, you give up, you can say in your expert opinion that your engine is completely dead, no matter what you tried it didn’t work.
Squatting you took out your phone, the same black screen that has been there for the last hour was looking back at you. You knew that you had low battery before you started this road trip but you guessed you would just charge it in your car, to then find out 2 hours in that you somehow took the wrong cable when packing, but even then you decided that it was no biggie, just buy one on the next gas station you come across right?
WRONG
Now look at you, on the ground in a complete deserted road, with a dead car, the night and cold fastly approaching, and no way of communication to get help. You were deciding if it was worth it to walk back on your own and hope for the best.
You could only guess one to two hours have passed, no other car appeared on the road, and the darkness has fallen around you.
Deciding at last minute to not leave your car you huddle up inside it, opening your bag and bundling up as it started to get rather cold inside. You won’t even lie, you are very scared, not knowing what will happen to you, or if someone is even looking for you, after all you were going to meet with some friends, but to reach their city it would be at least a whole day more of travel on car.
Curling up inside on the back seat, you hopped tomorrow would be a better day, or to at least wake up with a better idea of what to do.
A knock on your window startled you awake, making you sit up in a second, and then feel that your back was killing you, if you can help it you won’t ever sleep on a car again.
Another knock got your attention, and turning to the window you freeze in place.
An intimidating man towers over your window, salt and pepper beard framing his face, he motions for you to get out and you follow suit.
Now outside you can get more details about him, he has a brown hat, a little bit old but it adds personality, he seems to be in some kind of uniform, and his car confirms that he is in fact a sheriff.
“So?” he straightens up, towering above you “Can I ask what a child is doing alone sleeping in a car? Are you runnin’ away from somewhere kiddo? Stole your Dad's truck on the way out?”
Relief flows in you as you crane your head to look up at him “No sir! I actually was on a trip to X city” You tell him with a smile “But I got stranded out here with no signal”
He looks you over with a frown, making you nervously fidget with the hem of your shirt “¿On a road trip alone?” You nod, and you could have sworn that his frown deepens, but before you can really see he goes near your car “Then, what’s the problem with this thing?” He looks at your car “Don’t think you slept there for fun “
You give him an embarrassed smile and launch onto an explanation of what you think is wrong, after all you have almost no experience with fixing cars so you really are taking shots in the dark, and by his amused expression on the solutions you tried, you most likely were making a fool of yourself.
The sun still wasn’t waking up, how early was it? You yawned when you finished the explanation “You know, you most likely will have to pay an arm and a leg to tow it to the closest mechanic” He looked over your car “I can give you ride into town, let you crash in my place, after all is way too early for anything to be open. The town is a little bit out of the way from the road, but I’m guessing is better than staying out here, ay?”
Still feeling the pain of sleeping in your car, and the relief of seeing someone else you don’t even take a second and accept his office.
The drive is filled with your excited talking about any and all topics, talking about your trip, and the stress of your day to day, about how happy you were about taking a vacation. His responses aren’t cold, but they are short and to the point, but not in an unfriendly way, you feel heard and when you push it, he actually engages with you, telling you about the town and the people that live in it, what he does and what not.
You two finally reach his home, after the trip where you saw some crops and barns on the way, you arrive at a small property, small may be a stretch, but comparing it with the neighbors it qualifies as so, he helps carrying your bag even when you assure him you can do it, and he brings you to a guest room. You sit at the bed, jumping a little bit on it, it’s surprisingly comfortable for a guest room, tempting you to just plop down on it and sleep for a while, when the man, Elijah you learned on the way here, enters the room again, giving you some clothes “Don’t think I have something that will fit you Kiddo, but this will do”
You try to deny it, not wanting to give him more trouble than you already have, but he insists, giving you that fatherly look that means he will not back down, so at the end you accept it and the hot drink he later brings you. You promise yourself that you will rest for a bit and wake up tomorrow so you can help out and try to give back some of the kindness he is showing you.
20 minutes in and you are absolutely knocked out, Elijah enters your room to ask you if you need anything else but when he sees you he smiles, turning off the light and covering you with the blankets. You really can’t take care of yourself on your own huh?
