Those words echoed in my head over and over again .

2 Days Later …

I put my last bag which is my 7th bag in Jeromes trunk . He comes out of my ex front door and kisses me .

jerome: i cant wait to get on the road with you

jasmine: me too *smiles*

Jerome goes to the car which is his white 4 seater mustang . I was shocked to see that me and his bags could fit in the trunk and back seat . I walk inside and tape my note on the kitchen counter .

I get in the car as we start to drive off on our almost two day drive .

The Note:

Dear Daddy,

    Honestly I dont want to say much because It seems as if you will never understand me . You cant even tell me the truth about anything for crying out loud ! I asked you about mom when I was younger and you never told me the truth till this day . I had to find out the truth from a guy I met not so long ago . A guy I have fallen in love with . I hope you can understand that Im happy with him and he treats me right and will take good care of me . It doesnt matter where Im going , just know that Im safe with Jerome and you will see me again one day . Please dont come looking for me , I beg of you daddy … please dont .

                                Love♥

                               Your Princess

I wake up in the car with it parked at a gas station . I sit up and see that its dark outside . I look at the clock and it reads '1:36a.m' . I grab my phone and see text messages from a few of my friends but i choose to ignore them and wait to explain everything to them once everything settles down .

Suddenly the driver seat doors opens and Jerome gets in the car and sits a bag down in the middle of our seats .

jerome: i thought youd never wake up sleepy head

jasmine: yeah i dont even remember going to sleep *chuckles*

jerome: wow . did your pops try to call you ?

jasmine: surprisngly no just some friends but they dont know about me leaving and all

jerome: *nods* well i bought you all your favorites

I look in the bag and ALL my favorites were in it .

jasmine: thanks baby

I kiss him and start to munch on my food as we continue on the road to miami , florida .
