Chapter 80

The next morning, we get another early start. I'm already sick of driving, and I haven't done one second of it. I've offered multiple times, but Alex has something about other people driving his truck. Even me. Apparently, he's the only one allowed to operate something so delicate.

I smirk whenever he mentions it.

At one point, Alex pulls over to get gas. When he heads inside to pay, my phone goes off. I look down, confused by the unfamiliar number. It's my area code, and I'm wondering if mom is trying to reach me from a different number. I think about ignoring the call, but don't want her to use it as ammo against me later. Preparing myself to get into it again, I let out a deep breath and bring the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Bitch."

I recoil, the word and the tone so sharp and unexpected. I don't even have a second to respond because he goes on.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Sean.
