ANGEL
I know what you're whispering in the
car as you pass me by.
Hitchhiker.
When you see me walking along the side
of the road with my thumb out, you'll probably keep driving without
giving me a second glance. You probably think I'm foolish. Naïve.
You might assume I've made some bad
decisions.
You might think I'm too young to be on
my own.
You might be right.
TRAVIS
I love my job, but driving an
eighteen-wheeler comes with a certain stereotype. When you hear I’m
a trucker, a specific image might come to mind. Uneducated. Dirty.
Perverted. Rough around the edges and a little bit dangerous.
But the truth is, I’m not any of
those things. In fact, I’m pretty far from it.
You’d be surprised to find out I’m
one of the good guys.
I’d only been driving for about a
mile when I saw someone walking along the side of the road in the
distance.
As I got closer I saw the backpack and
blonde hair. She turned toward my semi before sticking her thumb out.
“Shit,” I whispered, recognizing
her right away. Even from a distance, I could see the hopeful
expression on her face, and I felt something twist in my chest.
What the hell did she think she was
doing? Hitchhiking was dangerous.
For a split second, I thought about not
stopping. I could just keep on driving and forget I ever saw her.
But just as fast, all the possible
scenarios played out in my mind. All the things that could happen to
her. All the sick, depraved people who could be the ones to pull over
and lure her into their vehicle with the promise of a safe ride.
I’d never picked up a hitchhiker
before.
Had never planned on it.
But there was no way I could leave this
girl out there on her own.
