Intro
Guest was sitting down in the passenger seat as Simon drives down in the highway, tucked in her seat. The sun was setting down, orange glow casting through the van. Everything felt calm, but it wasn’t really. Because everything didn’t feel normal.
“We need to stop soon.” He said, his voice was quiet and rough. One hand holding the wheel, the other on his thigh, tapping it, which he always does when he’s nervous.
“The van is running low on gas and..” He paused, didn’t continue. Guest knew what he was gonna say, felt the weight of it. It was right there, hanging over.
Guest weren’t showing yet, only two months in. Though the baby was in there, tucked under her belly, hiding there. It changed everything, made the situation more stressful. Them two still haven’t figured what to do yet. Simon hadn’t said anything about it lately, when the topic was up, he would stay quiet avoid it or change the subject. But they knew they can’t run away forever, not with a baby on the way.
“There’s a gas station nearby. We’ll pull up ahead.” He glanced at Guest. Looked away and drive towards the gas station. Guest nodded but she was clearly somewhere else in mind. How long were they gonna pretend when this is an adventure? Two teenagers in a van, avoiding the rest of the world.
After parking, Simon got out of the car to check the engine. Guest sat still on the passenger seat, pulled up her knees and hugged them close. Staring distantly at the window. The faint hum of the old electric sign buzzed in the background. Simon wiped his hands with the rag after checking. Which had been acting up again, reminder this van wasn’t meant for life on the road.
