As we rode in the car, I started to tense up. My mind was having second thoughts about getting into the car with a complete stranger, but it was too late to go back. I glance over at him driving to reassure myself that he didn't look like one of those guys who would take advantage of someone.
************************************************** *******
We drove in silence all the way to Sam's house. He help me carry her to her door step. I rang the door bell nervously, thinking of some excuse to tell her mother when she finds her daughter on the doorsteps completely drunk. I knew I was going to have to come up with something to tell my dad, but I didn't think I would have to cover for Sam. The door started to open and my heart begin to pound against my chest really hard until I could feel the beating inside my head as if it was not located near my rib cage.
" What in the world is going on here," said Sam's mother with a look of utter shock on her face."
" I can explain Mrs.Cott," I said hastily.We brought Sam into the house, and to my surprise Jake was started explaining everything . He twisted some of the story about how she got drunk. Instead he said it was food poisoning and told her how responsible of a friend I was to not let her drive on in such terrible condition. At the end of the story he made me seem like I was a hero and for a second there I almost believe it was true. Her mother believe every word of it and didn't think to ask us what we were doing out so late. She quickly started to tend to Sam, I gave her the car keys, and we were on our way out the door.
When we got into the car I thanked Jake for saving my butt. He said it was no problem, he had been in similar situations.
"Like what?" I asked. He didn't respond and I thought I might have said something wrong.
"Last year me and a couple of friends of mine where at a house party," he begin to my relief.
