I've been driving for 12 hours and I am starting to get really sleepy, I pull up at this mini mall and roll up my windows lock the doors and slowly drift off to sleep.

~~~FEW HOURS LATER ~~~
Im awaken by a knock on my window with a voice saying
"Ma'am are you okay?!"
His voice keeps ringing in my ears and its starting to get irritating so I have no option but to open the freaking window.
"Yes! Am fine okay!" I say really irritated by the sequence of knocks.
"Hello, are you new in the area?" He asks politely despite my rude gesture.
"Hi and yes I am."
"So are you going to see someone or?"
"No I'm on my own."
"My house is a couple miles away I could drive us their"
"And why would I trust you?" I asked with my eyebrow arched
"You don't have to, but if you keep sleeping in parking lots someone will kidnap you." he says trying to convince me.
I stare at him in disbelief and I am puzzled by his gesture, his right though, if I keeping sleeping in parking lots I will get myself in trouble, as well as if I stay here, besides what do I have to lose.
"Fine but I drive!" I say trying to give myself the advantage.
"No no you can't drive in this state you are literally sleep deprived right now, I mean you even have dark circles under your eyes." he points out
Once again his right I can barely keep my eyes open and it would be something else if I crash my only ride. I look at him trying to study his face, but eventually I hope into the passengers seat while he gets into the driver's seat.
"Mark!" He says while starting the engine.
"Mark?!" I say looking puzzled.
"My name is Mark." He smirks back at me.
"Kanzie! My name is Kanzie." Yes I know it was stupid of me to give him my name so easily, but he is offering shelter so I might as well play nice.
" Nice to meet you Kanzie." he smiles at me with his white teeth.
"You too Mark." I say sarcastically.

   Mark is your definition of a high school football player, I mean his body is well built for it, with these beautiful blue eyes and light pink full lips. His tanned complexion and clear skin is just the icing on the cake, if he was at my school he would be on every girl's wish list except for mine. His sharp jaw line really ties everything together, I try to study his face and he focuses on the road.

"You really should get some sleep Kanzie, I'll wake you up when we get there." he says still not taking his eyes off the road.
"What if you take me somewhere else instead of your house?? I need to see where am going so I can trail my way back." I say tucking my hands in my hoodie pocket and looking out the window.
"Wow!' he laughs, "That's some imagine you have right there, do I really look like the type to kidnap girls?" he asks finally taking his eyes off the road.
"Can't be too sure."
"You are one interesting person Kanzie." he shakes his head side to side
"You think so?" I raise an eyebrow at him
"Yeah, anyway don't worry about me kidnapping you and just rest, I promise to wake you up when we get to my house."

I don't respond to that, I wonder if my dad found my letter, why am I thinking about him anyway his the one whose leaving. with that thought I can feel my eyes getting heavy and I can no longer stay awake.
