It was the beginning of October. I was living with my girlfriend Courtney. We been living together since January. Everything was good until late August. When those little quarks you thought were adorable start to become annoying. There never really any arguments just disagreements and awkward silence. Cause I feared that was coming to an end, we both decided to take a road trip. We didn't know we where we were going, we just left. After 20 minutes on the highway we see a hitchhiker on the side of the road. He was a tall and skinny man with black hair. He wasn't waving or holding he's thumb or anything, he was just on a pole swing his legs. Courtney wanted me to stop but I kept driving. She got mad at me, said I'm not sympathetic and that I'm heartless. I was going to tell her why I did it but at the time I was too mad.
After about an hour of Courtney dancing and singing to the songs on the radio. While I was driving, I noticed the same hitchhiker on the side of the road. The hitchhiker look like different from last time tho. He looked like he was out there for days, his shit dirty and his hair more greasy and messy. I told Courtney to look at the hitchhiker, it took her awhile to notice that it was the same person. She ignored how weird it was that got so fast on feet and she told me to stop the car. I decided to keep going on the fact that it was weird that he was there and he could try to hurt Courtney if I do. Courtney got mad and we started yelling. It got so bad that we wasn't even talking about the hitchhiker anymore. We were yelling about past mistake that only I made then she called me impulsive and controlling. After five more minutes of mindless yelling, we saw the hitchhiker again. But this time it was different. Besides the point that we almost didn't recognize him because of how much he was covered in dirt he was also laid on the ground. Pulled over that time because I knew something was wrong.
When I stop the car Courtney jumped out and ran to him. I got out of the car and saw his shirt, his shirt was so rip that it didn't even look like a shirt anymore. Courtney tried to look for a pulse in his arm and neck "he's dead" she said. I froze in shock, than I put him in the car and hurry to the nearest police station. After I told them what happened they didn't believe me. They would've marked me as a suspect if it wasn't for Courtney's alibi. We drove back on the highway, Courtney was mad at me. She thought I was the reason the men died. In the middle of us arguing the men jumped out of the back. He was naked but covered in dirt. I wasn't able to park the car at the time. I told Courtney to take the wheel but before she did, he grabbed the back of her neck. I finally got a chance parked the car. I jumped out and ran to the back. I tried to jump on him but instead, i got a face full of dirt. He was gone, and so was Courtney. I looked around to see where they went, I looked in the woods for about an hour. I knew that the cops would definitely make me a suspect, so I decided to keep driving. A few miles later I saw Courtney standing on the side of the road, holding her thumb up.
