Choose Jess

The road left Mark with nothing but his thoughts.

Turning the radio off a couple phones into his trip, Mark started to think about what he wanted to do over the holidays. He had multiple different offers and they all had major pros with them.

Mark could be spending New Year’s Eve in Times Square with Tiffany, fucking Tiffany! Or he could spend that night all the way down in Australia with Jess, which would be truly an unreal experience.

If he didn’t like the idea of that, there was always Christmas away in Hawaii with Winter and her family. He would be upsetting his parents by ditching them for Christmas but come on, why wouldn’t he want to go there.

Then he had other ideas, he felt bad about how things had ended with him and Ali. Since they were both Californians, he could try spending the winter break with her, mending fences before possibly taking things to the next level.

All these thoughts raced through his mind as he drove down the highways, heading West. After 10 hours on the road, Mark was too tired to continue any further, he stopped in Jackson, Mississippi for the night, exhausted from the start of his road trip.

The only place available was this dirt cheap motel but by the looks of it, it wasn’t even worth the money for the night.

Mark grabbed his pillow out and set himself up in the back seat of his car. He couldn’t help but think about Jess’s offer, what it would be like to spend New Years Eve with her in a festival down under.

It wasn’t much but by sleeping in his car, he was saving that little extra bit of money for if he decided to take up her offer.

Before sleeping, he could feel his phone buzzing in his pockets, multiple notifications from someone. He was thinking about having a look and replying but Mark was exhausted. He fell asleep with the notifications still going off.

Dreaming about Jess.
