She looked out the window. “I know what I heard,” she said softly before closing her eyes. Her fingers slowly laced with mine and she leaned her head against the glass of the window her eyes still closed. I brought her hand to my lips, placing a delicate kiss to her knuckles before I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and brought her head to rest in the crook of my arm.
I glanced at Jack he turned the radio up slightly as he pulled onto the open highway. I settled back into my seat my fingers got lost in Nikki’s hair. I probably should’ve been asking Jack some questions trying to figure out what all of this meant and what the hell lied ahead of us but I was exhausted mentally and physically. I surrendered my trust and prayed that he’d take us to safety hoping that when we arrived, we’d have a better understanding of the battle we lived through tonight so that we would be prepared for the war to come.
I glanced down at Nikki she was sleeping so I closed my eyes and let the sounds of the guitar coming from the speakers soothe me.
When the sins of my father weigh down in my soul.
And the pain of my mother will not let me go…
Make it rain… make it rain down low.
Thunder crackled forcing my eyes to shoot open and glance out the window as it began to downpour.
