Overpass Chapter 5

Excerpt from chapter 5 . . .

“I want to watch something creepy.” I cross my arms over my chest, rubbing them, trying to warm up. I should have worn a thicker coat.

Jessica’s eyes light up, and I wonder why until I’m wrenched up, flipped, and hung over someone’s shoulder.

“What the hell?” I bark, staring down the back of a guy wearing jeans and a flannel I recognize.

“Sorry. I’m going to borrow her,” the familiar voice says. Edward.

Jessica pouts as I get carried away.

“Why are you borrowing me?”

“You look like you’re being tortured.”

“I’m almost positive I was.”

Edward sets me down by the passenger’s side of his car. “Where do you want to go? I’m all yours.” His grin gives me hope, like tonight won’t be a bust.

“My dad’s working late. We can watch a movie at my place. Do you like horror?”

“I love it,” he says, laughing and heading to his side of the car.
