"No, sleep for you," she scolded herself. "Okay. Stay up. Stay up," she repeated, shaking her head, and opening her tired eyes wide. "I am not sleepy," Lilly added with certainty. Turning on her engine, she searched the radio for some music to help her state. Soon she found, Love the Way You Lie, by Eminem ft. Rihanna. "Yes," she exclaimed! She can nail the Eminem parts of this song and knows that, for at least four minutes she will be wide awake.
Lilly began her drive home. When the song is over Lilly is on the highway, and that's when she began to get an uneasy feeling. It's as though someone was watching her. She changed the station in search for another song. Lilly was positive it was simply her imagination playing tricks on her as it had before.
Lilly checked the rearview mirror, and she saw something moving in the backseat. Oh My God! I'm going to die! What should I do? She thought to herself scared out of her mind. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. She reasoned, but her mind disagreed with her instantly.
She was still driving, so she did the only thing she could think of, "Is someone back there?"
There was no answer at first, then a whispered, "Yes." Lilly could tell it was a man's voice, for it was far too low to be a woman's.
