As you sat in front of your car, staring into the headlights, you realized that your mind had gone totally blank and you had no idea what to do, even though you had grown up in a family of mechanics. The car was busted and well, so was your mind at this point in time you thought that being lost was your new thing.
"I forgot how difficult it was going to be...Mom made it looks so easy..." You sighed out "And so did dad...And grandad..And even Aunty Meredith.." You laid back slowly and closed your eyes, thoughts of getting caught out in the rain getting caught in your head again.
~~Flashback time!~~
It was a cold winter night, the rain was falling heavily, raindrops spilling onto your clothes at a fast pace. You had been trying to get home from a school fair with your friends, only realizing when it was over that there wasn't enough room in the car for you, no wonder you had to walk to the fairgrounds. As you walked your clothes continued to get pelted with rain, soon enough your clothes were soaked and you were being chilled to the bone. You wrapped your arms around yourself as you walked, shivering under your own touch. As you looked to the sky you had to clothes your eyes to prevent any heavy drops of water getting into your eyes. The streets were slowly starting to flood, gutters full of water, soon enough overflowing and all the built up water was spilling onto the road, you glanced around at the enviroment, stores were closing and people were leaving as fast as they eye could see to get to a safer place. You weren't even halfway through town yet when you had to duck under a store verander to no longer get soaked by the rain. Your clothes were sticking to your skin and so was your hair, your (e/c) eyes were darting this way and that trying to find any source of life. You felt rather dumb as you couldn't contact anyone, the cause was leaving your phone at home. You cursed yourself and slapped your cheeks lightly from being so dumb, at least you still had your ID.
"I should've never trusted the weather forecast...This is the tenth time this month!" You shivered and sniffled, you already knew you were going to get sick. And that's when a 2018 Ford Mustang pulled up to the side of the road. You could feel eyes watching you, piercing into your skin and soul, you shuddered at the feeling and fell onto your side. The sound of a car door opening was the only thing you heard before blacking out.
You woke up rather late, you felt as though you had slept for days! You tried sitting up, only to feel a tight pain in your chest, the next thing you knew you were coughing heavily and almost uncontrollably, this last for a few minutes and you were soon pushed onto your back yet again, it didn't take long for you to start panicking and breathing heavily as you looked up to the definitely much taller male.
"Hey hey, it's okay it's okay, I ain't gonna hurt ya, okay?" His voice was soft and mellow, the type of tone was like a feathers touch to the skin, it made you tingle all over as you looked into his calm and yet stunning amber orbs. You froze up as your breathing hitched in your throat for a second before you looked away, coughing yet again. The male sat you up and rubbed your back "Don't worry, okay? You're fine, you're safe and well...Also sick..What were you doing out in the rain anyways??"
You blinked a little, what were you doing out in the rain? You could barely remember but you shook your head, thinking hard, the male looked at you quietly, chuckling to himself as you thought long and hard. Soon enough finding your shaken voice you spoke up. "I-I was...going to a school f-fair...It was good day out! And then...it started raining...I-I-I-" You started to cough and he gently rubbed your back and tried to help you settle "Let me guess, you trusted a weather forecast? And you got caught in the rain.." He sighed a little as you nodded. You were amazed that he got the guess right "H-How'd you know..?" You croaked out, throat sore from coughing so hard. "Oh, it was just a guess" He smiled softly "Only kidding, I did the same thing a couple days ago" You sniggered a little which made him start laughing, in return you also started laughing, a full thirty seconds of laughing went on till you started coughing again, tears bubbling up in your eyes from the pain, he immediately shut his mouth and rubbed your back "Sorry, sorry! No more laughing" He breathed out "Don't need you getting hurt anymore" All you did was nod in response.
The two of you sat together in silence, sipping the hot tea had brought up to you, occasionally eating a biscuit he had willing brought up, despite you staying no to him so many times over. You would glance at him and you would catch him staring at you every so often, each time you would smile and think to yourself 'What? I'm not much to look at'. He started to talk to you a bit, that he knew where you were living, almost causing you and him to panic, he quickly said about your ID and the he was sorry to go through your things like that. You quickly shut up with a cookie as you sighed out "It's no worries, just glad you didn't try to DO anything to me" His look changed from surprised to disgusted "Do something inappropriate to young girl like you? No. I'm not an asshole okay?" He paused at his words "I-I'm not a pervert or a petefile I-I mean.." He sighed and facepalmed, you gazed at him questioningly "O-Oh um...I-I've been trying to cut down my swearing...I'm getting into being a christian..though I still think it's bullsh-" He bit his tongue and closed his eyes "I still think it's a total lie.." He looked to you and you were trying not to laugh "What! I can have my beliefs.." You got up and out of bed, ruffling his mousy brown hair. "No worries, okay? I ain't judging. Now, where's the shower. I gotta get warm again" He nodded and directed you to the bathroom "Take as long as you need but- not too long" You nodded in response and grabbed a towel, going in and closing the door.
You were out of the shower not so long after you had gone in and started washing. You peaked out from the door and grabbed the set of clothes that the nice male had set out for you, you quickly got dressed and soon enough came back out, setting your clothes into a plastic bag and tying it into a knot you went and looked around the house, finding the note that read 'I've gone out to get more cookies, I'll be back in 10! - Jason' You read it over "So that's his name...That's a sweet name...certainly suits him.." You muttered a little and continued looking around the house, you then went back to the room you had started out in and set your clothing bag by the bed, you fell into the bed and closed your eyes, just wanting to drift off to sleep and that's just what you did.
Jason came back not soon after you had fallen asleep, he looked around a bit and set the cookies away, the shower was no longer running so he went upstairs to the room you were staying in and he just blinked and looked at you in surprise, all tucked up in bed and sleep "Kinda cute.." He mumbled as he went over to you and sat by the bedm stroking you still damp hair, he looked over your clothed body and he smiled softly before he got up and went to get the phone book, he went through the book and found your father's name, soon enough grabbing his cellphone and calling.
He waited for a second before the other end of the line picked up.
"Oh yes, hello, this is Jason Silverton"
