•Michael's POV•
I hope Gavin got my text. I hope he made it out alive. I hope he's in the hospital right now, getting better as I drive.
By the time I hit Tennessee, it was night again.
I found a shitty little motel on the east side of Tennessee. After I got my room, I plopped down on my bed. While checking my phone for texts from Geoff, I saw no reply from Gavin.
My vision suddenly got blurry and my throat felt tight, like I couldn't breathe. I made no attempt to hide the tears forming in my eyes. I felt the salty liquid streak down my cheek and saw it drip onto my phone.
No! Michael, don't cry! He could still be alive!
Maybe.
The only thing I knew to do was call Geoff.
"Geoff?" I said. My voice sounded raspy from trying to hide my crying.
"Hey, buddy. Where are you?" he asked.
"I made it to the east edge of Tennessee, but I was speeding whenever I could."
"That's good. You made it pretty far in one day."
"What'd you tell the guys when they realised I was gone?" I was truly hoping that he told them about the plane crash so I didn't have to.
"I told 'em Gavin's plane crashed and you were going to see what happened." he replied.
Great!
"Thanks, Geoff. I'm gonna get some rest so I can get up and drive early tomorrow."
"Okay. Bye, dude."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone and checked what time it was.
11:37
I set an alarm for 5:30 on my phone. I wasn't happy to get up so early, but I needed to find out if Gavin was okay.
After all, I love him. And I need to know if he loves me back.
I let my eyes flutter closed, then fell asleep.
