finding life

chapter 1

"Emma. Can you get your nose out of that book please and at least look at the scenery?"August said while looking sideways at her while also keeping an eye on the road.

She looks up for a second with annoyance then looks back down reading, Lilly her chocolate lab puts her head on her shoulders feeling her annoyance. Lilly is Emma's therapy dog since she was 18 years old when August surprised her with Lilly on her 18th birthday two years ago she suffers from low self-esteem and depression (rather it's from her childhood or genetics who knows) and likes to escape the real world with books and doesn't like doing anything cause she feels like what's the point?

August sighs and turn the radio on, he is Emma's foster brother, they been through a lot together going through foster homes to foster homes and sometimes not together but they always and up back at the same homes, August is 3 years older than her and he was there to protect when they were together.

When Emma aged out of the system they decided to move around until they find someplace that feels like home to them and with Emma's depression it's kind of hard to feel home anywhere.

" Oh no no no no, Shit" August cursed when the car started heating up and smoke coming from underneath the hood slowing the car down to a stop in what seems to be in the middle of nowhere.

Emma finally looks up from her book out to the smoking hood " what happened?" She asked

"Well the car is smoking"August said

Emma rolled her eyes " I can see that smartass, I mean why is the car smoking?"

" I don't know Emma, I'm not a mechanic"he puffed out.

" then call one, I'm sure there's one that's close by" she said rolling her eyes again " it's ok Lilly, I'm ok, just a bit of car trouble" she said petting Lilly's head when she hears her whining a bit.

August lets out a sigh when he grabs his phone to see if he can find the nearest shop on Google.

"Where are we anyway"Emma asked.

"Right outside of Hooker Oklahoma" August answered.

Emma stared at him for a minute and wondered if he is messing with her "seriously, there's a town called Hooker?" Emma asked in disbelief.

" Rubes I'm heading to the store to get Granny some things for breakfast in the morning" Regina said to her best friend/employee.

Regina owns an Inn on the outskirts of town in an open area, fields that is a mile wide it seems out back, pretty peaceful, She often go lay out on the grass and stare up at the sky just taking in the peacefulness.

" when are you going to ride on that Harley with you anyway" Ruby replied with a fake pout.

" I thought you were to scared to ride" Regina replied with a smirk.

" yeah yeah, don't take to long, ya know we are short handed" Ruby demanded.

" yeah yeah see ya" Regina said on her way out to her bike.

" see ya, and I mean it don't take long" Ruby said as the door to the Inn closed.

Ruby and Regina were best friends since junior high, she and Granny moved away before they started high school but always kept in touch, Regina is family to them no matter how far apart they are and Ruby has always been afraid of motorcycles. Weird since she seems not to be afraid of anything else but I guess everyone is afraid of something.

Ruby and Granny moved back after high school after Regina's sister died to help her out and they helped Regina with her dreams of owning an Inn. They don't mind working for her, actually they love their jobs and the family feel of the place.

Regina just got done at the grocery store and storing the groceries in the side bags of the bike and now she is heading towards the Inn. When she got there she parked her bike in the parking lot, from there you can see the open peaceful field.

Regina gazed up at the open field and can see something in the field and open closer look it was a blond woman laying down legs closed and straight with a sundress with the skirt slightly above the knee spread out on the grass and a dog lying next to her' hot damn!' Regina thought.
