Roommates

I zoom into the night, not looking back. I race downtown and pass people in bars drinking and falling all over each other. I keep driving, leaving the town and entering the country. The only light is from my headlights and there's no stores or houses or anything. Just open fields. I keep driving, pulling down random dirt roads and speeding down them. I feel my car start to slow when I look down at the gas gage and show its empty.

Crap! I knew I should've filled up before I left!

I slam my hands on the steering wheel and pull of to the side of the rode where it dies completely. I start to cry. I mess up everything! And now I'm lost in the middle of the night! I grab my phone off the dashboard and see if I can call anyone. I start to dial Blakes number when I see I have no signal. I start to sob. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with no car and no phone. I scream and get out of my car with my purse, keys, and phone and start walking. It feels like I've been walking forever when I see headlights heading in my direction. I start jumping up and down and waving my hands until they pull up to me and they roll down the window of their green pickup.

"What are u doing out here, little lady?" A man asks.

"My car broke down." I say to the man.

"Oh, that's not good. Where do you need to go?" He asks.

"Northview Campus." I say.

"So you're a Northview girl. Hmm. Hop in and I'll take u to get your car. I've got gas and tools in the back." He says.

I grin. "Yes, sir." I say. I know it's crazy for me to get on a strangers car, but I need help. I walk to the passenger side of the car and get in. He smiles at me and speeds off into the direction of my car. He's an older mam, probably in his 40s, with thin brown hair and a bushy black mustache above his lip. He had on jeans and a flannel with dark cowboy boots. We reach my car in about 15 minutes before he hops out and starts putting gas in my car. I get out and go over to him.

"Is this all you needed?" He asks.

"Yes, sir." I say back politely. "Thank you for helping me." I say.

He smiles. "Anything for you, little lady." He replies. I unlock my car and start to get in before he stops me.

"Hold up, girl. I helped you, now you gotta help me."

I freeze. "What do you need help with?" I ask.

He grins. "Well, I haven't seen a girl like you out here in a while. So come back to my place and I'll show you what I need." He says, smirking.

I feel scared. "Um, it's late, I really should get going." I say, backing up to my car.

"Oh, baby. You can wait a few more minutes." He says, walking close to me.

I back up more before he locks me in between him and my car. I try to push him off but he's too big. "Get off of me!" I yell.

"That's right, baby, yell as much as you want. No one will hear you." He says creepily.

"AHHHHHHHHHH" I scream, trying to get someones attention.

"No one can hear you, so shut u-" A police siren blares in the background and I can see the flashing blue and red lights. He gets off of me and runs to his truck.

"Freeze! It's the police!" Someones yells.

"Lex!" A familiar voice yells. I look behind me and see him, running to me.

"Blake?"
