Chapter 32: Chapter 32

. A brand new me." She starts to walk towards the door.

"You know she needs help." Ryan whispers.

As we near Ryan's SUV I spot Lee at the shotgun. If Courtney is with them am not going anywhere.

"Is Courtney joining us too?" I tip my head at Lee.

"No, it is just Lee and Quinn."

Quinn?

This worse than enduring a car ride with Courtney.

Ryan opens the door revealing Quinn who Is seated at the furthest corner. His eyes closed and earphones plugged to his ears.

"I want to sit by the window." Roxanna says. I get in, am seated between her and Quinn. He doesn't even move or open his eyes.

I whisper a hi to him which he doesn't respond. I roll my eyes and remove The Great Gatsby Book.

Roxanna pinches my arm, and whispers to my ear, "You are seated next to Quinn, smell him." she squeaks.

"Am not deaf." Quinn responds.

Roxanna slaps her mouth embarrassed.

"I hope everyone has their seatbelts on." Ryan says as he starts the car.

"You girls may need this." Lee passes a bag of chips to us.

I start to read my novel, Roxanna logs into her instagram. She has quite the followers. Am almost finishing the first page when Quinn speaks. "He dies." He utters.

I turn to him angry for spoiling the book for me. His eyes are still shut. I grab the earphones from him and put one in my ear. There is no music. He was just pretending.

He smirks at me. "Not everyone is excited to be here." He says.

"You should, tomorrow is your big day." Ryan tells him.

What is that suppose to mean?

He sighs bored and puts his earphones back. Unable to continue with my book i close it and take out my phone and log in to wattpad.

I don't know when i fell asleep but i wake up just as Ryan's announces we have reached our destination. I open my eyes and realise i have been laying my head on Quinn's shoulders.

I look up at him, he is staring down at me. I wait for him to say something nasty but it never comes.

He smirks at me, "You drooled on my shirt." He comments.

I wipe my mouth embarrassed and true to his word, there's a wet spot where my head was.

I then realise my vicinity as Ryan slows down. We are at a ranch, massive acres of land spread before us, all planted with wheat. What angers me is when i read Nickle Ranch at the entrance.

"I thought you said we were going on a road trip?" I try to be calm.

"Would come if i told you where we were going?" He asks.

Am quick to respond, "No!"

"No one who is forcing you to be here, You can go back." Quinn says beside me.

"I needed you to be here with me, sorry i lied." Ryan apologizes.

Roxanna pouts, "It won't be that bad, just two days what can go wrong?"

A lot! I imagine as i steal a quick glance at Quinn.

"Why are we here?" I turn to Ryan.

"On Sunday there's this major 4by4 charity event that involves dirt racing and also..." Ryan replies.

"....Tomorrow is my engagement party." Quinn cuts in.
