/// just gonna take this chance to say hi mom cause she reads my fanfic LOL hi mom love u ///

My eyes slowly scanned the lot, looking for my perfect match. It didn't take long.

"That one," I murmured in slight amazement, pointing.

"That one?" Levi asked, sounding slightly disgusted. I ignored him and made my way over to the beautiful black car.

"1970 Dodge Challenger, good choice!" Dale said, clasping his hands together. "The previous owner just brought it in 2 days ago. They kept it in good condition so you're in luck, Miss Robins."

I ran my hand up the hood on the car, making goosebumps rise on my arms.

I had finally saved up enough money to get myself a car. And the second Kat knew I had the money to get one, she immediately forced me to go get one. She'd be here, but fortunately she had to work today.

"That one?" Levi repeated, who was filling in for Kat today. If you couldn't tell, Levi wasn't into old muscle cars. I ignored him again.

The entire car was black and shiny. It had a soft top, which made me happy. I could already imagine myself driving down the highway with the top down and my hair blowing in the wind while I blasted music. The interior consisted of red and black leather seats and it honestly smelled brand new. I noticed the previous owner had installed a new radio, which had an AUX port. I smiled widely.

"Pass me the AUX cord!"

Dale – who oddly reminded me of Saul from Breaking Bad – came back with the key. I didn't even realize he was gone until he shouted and "okay!" from behind me, making me jump and hit my head on the ceiling of the car. I pulled my head out, rubbing the top of it.

"I told your mother about the good find. Would you like to sit in it? Maybe get a feel of it?" He asked and I immediately snatched the keys and climbed in.

I gripped the steering wheel and my eyes slowly closed. This was it. This was my car.

"I'll take it."

----

I sped down the interstate with the top down and Levi in the passenger seat.

"DO I WANNA KNOW?"

"IF THIS FEELING FLOWS BOTH WAYS."

"SAD TO SEE YOU GO."

"WAS SORTA HOPIN THAT YOU'D STAY."

"BABY WE BOTH KNOW."

"THAT THE NIGHTS WERE MAINLY MADE FOR SAYIN THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T SAY TOMORROW DAY."

"CRAWLIN BACK TO YOU."

"EVER THOUGHT OF CALLIN WHEN YOU'VE HAD A FEW?"

"CAUSE I ALWAYS DO."

"MAYBE I'M TOO, BUSY BEIN YOURS TO FALL FOR SOMEBODY NEW."

"NOW I THOUGHT IT THROUGH."

"CRAWLIN BACK TO YOU."

Levi burst out laughing and I couldn't help but laugh with him. This was too surreal. I finally got my first car and it was my dream car. How often does this kind of thing happen? And for the first time in 2 weeks, I didn't feel so sad.

"Do you think he saw the picture?"

Well, until now.

I shrugged my shoulders and turned down the music, tapping my fingers on the steering wheel.

"Dunno. He hasn't shown any of signs that he has," I told him.

The other boys had definitely saw it; they all texted me within a span of 5 minutes asking who the guy was that had my head in his lap while I smiled up at him in my bed on Twitter. Out of all things, my first thought was "do they have my notifications on cause jeez Louise that was fast".

When we got back to my house, I noticed an unfamiliar car parked in the driveway.

"Who the fuck's car is that?" Levi asked, his eyes glazing over as he stared at the car. It was some kind of a Mercedes, and it was nice. And expensive.

"Oh my God," I murmured as my heart started pounding out of my chest. "What if-"

"It's him, isn't it?" Levi questioned, digging the keys to his car out of his pocket.

"I don't know," I said nervously. "I don't think he knows how to drive? Or knows where I live?"

"Maybe someone drove him here?"

"Maybe," I gulped. I felt Levi place a hand on my shoulder and squeeze.

"I gotta go, but good luck," he gave me a sympathetic smile and pulled me in for a hug. I squeezed his waist, not really wanting him to leave. Levi and I had become fairly close and I could consider him one of my best friends now.

I waved as Levi drove away, taking a deep breath before heading up to the front door. Shoving my key into the lock, I unlocked the door and swung it open.

"Mom?" I called out, closing the door behind me. I tossed my keys on the side table and kicked off my Converse.

"Meredith."

My head snapped up.

Oh no, it wasn't Michael.

Nor was it Ashton, or Calum, or Luke.

"Dad?"
