The third time as she is about to give up, but decides to dial his number for one last time, he finally picks up the phone.

“Hey,” Ryan answers half asleep.

“I know this is late, but can you come get me?” Melanie pleads as her voice starts to shake on relieving everything that has happened to her that night and the sound of her voice makes Ryan sit up, alarmed.

“Where exactly are you?” Ryan asks worried.

“I am still at the hostel, but I think I am going to find a place to hide myself till you come because I don't want to talk to Caleb or become a bigger laughing stock than I already am,” Melanie informs him, and he gets out of bed ASAP, picking up his car key and dashing out of his room.

Caleb is still fuming from their earlier conversation, and even though Ryan agreed for him to drive his car, it doesn’t make Caleb feel any better, judging from the way he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension. Ryan seated beside him, stared out of the window, his eyes fixed on the passing scenery because he thought that it would make things less awkward, but as they drove, the only sound was the hum of the engine and the occasional beep of the car horn. The tension between them was so thick that it seemed to have a life of its own. Despite their mutual dislike for each other, they both knew that they had to put their differences aside for the sake of Dawn.
