Getting a Ride Home

- RAYA -

I can't do it. 

I'm sitting in Dex's truck after Cricket dropped me back off at the building, and it's seriously huge. The hood extends so far and then just drops off so that I can't see what's directly in front of me. There could be a child there, and I would have no idea. Not that there currently is—it's nighttime in the city—but… seriously, why do they make vehicles this big?

After turning the truck on and sitting poised behind the wheel with anxiety wracking my body, I decide not to take any chances. It's not worth it.

Thankfully Rory answers on the second ring when I call her. 

"What's up?" 

"Do you think you could give me a ride home? I know it's short notice…"

"Why? What happened? Are you okay?" 

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just… Dex had to go out of town at the last minute, and he left me his truck. But seriously, this thing is giant and I haven't driven at all in ages."
