The Red Charger

Hi there its me Jax, I am just an ordinary girl living my life. I have a dark past but now that I have moved on I am just a girl who just got my first car. I got a maroon 2002 Buick la Sabre. My car is the cutest thing I have ever seen. On the inside there is a section of wood running along the dash, but enough about my car its time to talk about my stalker. I go to high school and I work at my local cafe. I drive my car back and forth, and every time I am driving I see the same blood red charger pass by me. All of the windows are tinted and I can never get a good look at their plates. I have been paying attention lately since it has been two weeks since he I'm assuming appeared to me. I have payed enough attention to know that it is definitely not a cop car or state trouper because it has no markings or anything. Well I guess I just keep an eye on it. I have to drive to school today and work until 10 pm. Surly he wouldn't be out that late right? On a side angle here is an insight on my thought process and why I keep saying he, I have to give the car a personality because I know there is someone inside of the car so saying it doesn't sound right so I gave the car its own personality. Okay now back to the observing. As I am driving to school I see the red charger pass me again I can't help but obsess over why he is passing me every day twice a day. Is he trying to protect me, is he a kidnapper, maybe he is long lost family, does he want to be my friend, maybe he is trying to warn me about something, I don't know what he is doing all I know is that I want to meet him and have a talk with him. Maybe it is just a coincidence that we pass each other everyday at random times in the day. My car is empty today so I will have to fill it. I am going to Casey's to fill it up, as I am walking up to the door of Casey's I see the blood red charger sitting at the gas pump beside me and the person inside is a he! As he walks towards the doors that I am awkwardly standing at he stares at my car gawking at it while snooping around. I decided to keep walking because I knew I would probably run into him while inside of Casey's. As I am paying for my gas at the desk he walks up from behind me and touches my shoulder, as I turn around to talk to him he says to meet him outside by my car. After paying I meet him by my car and he begins talking to me right away. "Hi my name is Jake and I have been keeping tabs on you for someone. I can't tell you much but I can tell you that I am here to help you. Here is my phone number and before I leave I just wanted to tell you that your rear tires and getting bald you might want to change them soon. thank you for your time" Then he just left. I stood there with a blank stare and a paper with his phone number on it in my hand. After a few seconds of being in shock I decide to go to school. I have been thinking about him recently and I have realized that he is actually kind of cute, but I can't think like that he could have been lying and is really a kidnapper that is just trying to get close to me and inside my head. He is probably just trying to learn about my life so he can use my friends and family as leverage against me. Today I have a job shadow in Indianola as I am driving to Indianola my car starts shifting hard so I pull over at a Casey's and call my dad to ask about my car. After six calls he still doesn't answer, so I get back in my car and came up with ideas that could be wrong with it and how to fix it. As I am obsessing over my car someone knocks on my window. As I look up I realize that its not just anyone it is Jake. I roll down my window and he says "I was following behind you and saw what your car was doing, since clearly your dad isn't answering I will help you. Its your transmission you probably need more transition fluid. I feel like I can trust him so I let him help I told him that I only have a penny in my account so he buys me transmission fluid after he checks my transmission fluid. He was right I was way low on transmission fluid if I wouldn't have stopped I would have shot the transmission in my car, which by the way isn't a cheap fix. Before he leaves he says "See I'm only here to help and protect you Jax, you can trust me" and then he left again. Even though he has done an act of kindness and helped me out that still doesn't sell me on him. Like I said before he might just be trying to get me to trust him so he can wiggle himself into my life just so he can destroy it. I have a job interview for a second job today I really hope it goes well. I am at the place and as I walk it it begins to freezing rain. I was in there for over an hour and when I came back outside my car was frozen and there standing next to is was Jake with two ice scrapers waiting for me to come help him scrape off my car. Okay so maybe is is a good guy but honestly I'm still not entirely convinced that he is a good guy. Until what he said next. "Jax I know it's hard for you to trust people especially men, but I'm not like other men I am here to help you. I want you to be able to trust people again someday in the near future. You didn't think that I would just sign up to keep tabs on any person without doing some research did you. I know what happened in your past and that's not fair to you but I hope that one day it won't bother you anymore, that one day you will truly be past it." See you around Jax. I still see his car pass me everyday. Now that I am in quarantine he passes by my house every day, every morning and night. I hope we can be friends one day.
