Well this side of mortality is scaring me to death. Just don't think about it at all
Axel closed the full trunk of his now full Subaru Outback, and wiped the sweat from his brow. "I can't believe i'm doing this..." Axel sighed, as he leaned against his car and lit up a cig. Axel was 20 years old and has lived with his mom his whole life. Normally a kid would move out at age 18, but Axels mom was very sick and couldn't take care of herself. Axels dad walked out when he found out his mother was pregnant with him, and Axel has hated him since, even though he has never tried to make contact. After Axel finished his cig, he stomped it out with his boot and got in the front seat of his car. He looked over at the passengerside of the car and patted the jar of ashes that was sitting securly, with a seat belt around it. It had been his mothers wish to go back to her home state, which was Cali, and have her ashes spread at the ocean. Axel lived all the way in New York. Axel thought about just flying to California, but he had always dreamed of going cross-country and take pictures in all the states he passed and his mothers life insurence was about to pay for that. "Here we go" Axel said as he pulled out of the drive way and toward the highway.
Soldier on, soldier on. Keep your heart close to the ground.

Well this side of mortality is scaring me to death. Just don't think about it at all
Axel had been driving for about an hour now and was close to New Yorks state line. It was really sunny out, and Axel was enjoying the windows down. Axel looked ahead of him, and saw an old bridge ahead. "Oh, this will be perfect" Axel said to himself, as he pulled his car over 20 feet away from the bridge. Once the car was parked, he leaned over and grabbed his Nikon D3000 camera case from the car floor and took his camera out. He put the camera strap around his neck, and got out of the car. Axel walked toward the bridge, whistling a song, when he noticed someone standing on the ledge. Axels heart literally lept to his throat, and he started to run over to the girl. "Don't jump!" Axel called out, trying to hurry to the girl before she jumped.
Soldier on, soldier on. Keep your heart close to the ground.

Axel couldn't help but chuckle at Rain. She was so outgoing, and friendly, and different. He's never met anyone like her. As a warm breeze brushed past them, Axel couldn't help but agree with the girl. Sometimes you had to stop and smell the flowers. With Rain sitting there, the moment looked perfect and Axel couldn't help but lift his camera and snap two pictures of her. Axel then put the camera and spoke up. "Yea, i'm sorta on a mission, to California. I know, it's really far, but you know, why not?" Axel said, putting his hands behind his head and smiling down at Rain.

Rain's face brightened when he said you had to stop and smell the roses sometimes. "There you go! Live by that motto and who knows where life will take you!" Rain was always very hyper. She didn't have very many friends, except the ones she met along her travels, so whenever she could stop for a chat, she did. Although, some people were a bit uncomfortable with her spontaneous self, but she is completely harmless. Pausing a moment, she took a notebook and pen out of her backpack and scribbled something down before putting it back. "California, huh? I haven't been that far west. I have been all over the place though." She said matter-of-factly. "Well good sir, don't let me keep you from your travels. Peace be unto you and always remember, after the Rain goes, there will always be Rainbows." She smiled, standing up and starting to walk down the road again.

Axel couldn't help but lean over and see what she was scribbling in her notebook. But Rain closed it, so Axel didn't see just in time, and he leaned back, smiling at her. "Heh, I haven't been past New York, so i'm a little excited" Axel said, scratching the back of her head. Axel pretty much figured out she was a hitchhiker after a few mins of talking to her. When she started to walk away, Axel already missed her company. "U-uhm, wait!" He called out. When Rain turned around, Axel rubbed the back of his neck and kicked at the dirt on the road. "Would you like to join me? I mean, it's just me making this whole trip, and I could use the company. B-but, you don't have to if you don't want to! I swear i'm not a rapiest... i'm just embaressing myself, aren't I?"

Axel was a little worried, waiting for her to answer the question. He always thought the worse when he was nervous. But he smiled instantly when she replied. "Alright!" Axel exclaimed, then walked along aside her toward the car. When they were a few feet away, Axel remembered something and faced Rain. "Oh, wait here one second" he said when they reached the front of his car, and Axel quickly walked over to the passenger side of his Subaru. Axel then gently unbuckled his mothers ashes, and carefully put the medium size jar in the center consol. He already had a small pillow there set up, in case he had to move the jar, then stood up and faced Rain, smiling. "My lady" Axel said in a bad british accent, then gestured to sit in the now empty passenger side seat.
