I wake early Saturday morning. I don’t think I’ve slept all night. Ryan is holding me in his arms. I don’t want to leave him, but today, I have a mission. I have to help him. I have to go see Kim.

“Ryan.” I whisper.

“Hhmmm.” He hums as he squeezes my body to his.

“I have to get in the shower, I want to get to Perky’s early before it gets busy. I need to talk to you before I leave.”

“Okay, get in the shower. I’ll get us something to eat.”

I take a quick shower and style my new hair. I put on some extra makeup and I wear my new yoga pants and Miss Me shirt. It’s all I’ve got for now.

I sit at the table with Ryan eating burnt waffles without syrup and sip on some much needed coffee. We’re both really quiet and a little freaked out about last night.

“Who do you think it was?”

“I have no fucking idea.” He says picking at his waffle.

“Do you think it was the guy? The guy who committed those murders? Or the police?”

“I saw the car but it was dark. It didn’t look like a police car and why would they run off? Whoever it was knows we’re here now. I really don’t think you should leave alone.”

“I have to and now more than ever. We have to clear your name and get out of here. The only way to do this is to get to Kim.”

He’s quiet for a really long time. I don’t know what’s going through his mind.

“I know. I know. I just……fuck. I don’t like this. I don’t know what’s going on.”

“Ryan, I have to go. I’ll be okay. Listen, I don’t have any money. I need more clothes. I thought I could pick some things up while I’m out there.”

“Yeah. I can give you cash.” He looks indifferent. As if he has turned off all of his emotions. I know he’s scared to let me leave by myself, especially after last night. I also think he still doesn’t completely trust that I won’t run or go to the police. He looks so conflicted.

“Thanks. Listen Ryan, I’ll be okay and I’m coming back okay? I promise.”

He just nods his head. He looks like a nervous wreck. I stand up and walk towards the door and he follows me with his hands in his pockets and his head hanging. He’s wearing his same old raggedy jeans and plain black t-shirt. He threw his skull cap over his messy hair and I would like nothing more than to forget about all the drama outside the four walls of this cabin and go back to bed with him. I want to run my fingers through his hair and kiss him all over.

“You know how to get there?”

“Yeah, once I find my way back to route 50, I should be able to find it. I think I’ll be okay.”

“Just take the dirt road until it ends. Make a right and the next intersection you come to will be route 50.
