(unedited bc i wanted to get this up ASAP also don't forget to comment cause they entertain me so much ok shutting up)
"Kid, if the gas is runnin' so's the meter. You gonna stay in here all night?"
The bill i was racking up was honestly the last thing on my mind. Instead I was overthinking everything. Like always. "Give me a minute please."
The driver let out a grunt in response and I focused on taking long, deep breaths.
The inside of the stuffy taxi was suffocating, but i preferred it marginally to what was waiting for me outside.
Or rather who was waiting for me outside.

Speak of the devil.
Whenever I felt like things between Drew and I were going well, the other shoe would drop and things always turned to absolute shit.
I had barely had enough time to process the fact that he was back in my life again and now I was about to see him in person.
It's fucking crazy how much I had longed for this and now that it was finally happening I was hiding out in a car that smelt like a combination of dog pee and cigarettes.
My fingers hovered over the keyboard while I contemplated how to respond. Should I make up an excuse and tell the drive to floor it and bolt? Even as i mentally considered the option I knew I wouldn't be able to do it.
My stupid, irrational feelings held me back.
I was risking my sanity to be here, I figured I might as well give up my pride too and answer him honestly.

I paid the driver the cab fee and he didn't bother to hide his eagerness to finally be rid of me.
