1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.

10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it

19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

She shrugged.

"And I'll never understand why you don't," she said.

[dontthinkabout]

He sighed. So much for making light conversation.

[inyourdreams]

She didn't mean for it to sound snippy, but she can tell he took it that way.

[dontthinkabout]

"You can sleep if you want," he said after a moment.

[inyourdreams]

She nodded. She hadn't really gotten much sleep the night before but she wasn't really tired enough right then to fall asleep in the car.

[dontthinkabout]

After a few more hours of driving, they stopped at a diner to eat a late lunch.

[inyourdreams]

She ordered a tuna melt but mostly just picked at it.

[dontthinkabout]

He had ordered the same and ate most of it. "Wanna switch off now?"

[inyourdreams]

"Yeah, that's fine," she said.

[dontthinkabout]

"Okay."

He paid for their food and then walked out back to the car. "We should be able to get to the hotel tonight," he said as he buckled his seatbelt.

[inyourdreams]

"Sounds good," she said as she got in the driver's side and started the car before heading out of the parking lot and back on to the highway.

[dontthinkabout]

Arthur leaned back and watched the road in front of him, but he eventually fell asleep.

[inyourdreams]

She drove for a few hours until she had to pee and they needed gas again. She pulled into a truck stop and got out to fill the tank.

[dontthinkabout]

Arthur woke up when the car shut off. He looked around before going to the restroom.

[inyourdreams]

She filled the tank before locking the car and heading in to use the restroom herself.

[dontthinkabout]

Arthur walked past her back to the car and got in.

[inyourdreams]

She came back out a few minutes later and got back in the car too.

[dontthinkabout]

"Do you need to switch or are you good?" He asked.

[inyourdreams]

"I'm good," she said. "How much longer you think?"

[dontthinkabout]

"Four or five hours," he said

[inyourdreams]

She nodded and headed back on the road.

[dontthinkabout]

Arthur reached over and rested a hand on her knee. "You okay?"

[inyourdreams]

"Yeah," she said, keeping her eyes on the road.

[dontthinkabout]

He gave her knee a squeeze and then returned his hand to his lap.

[inyourdreams]

"Are you okay?" she asked. He was the one who'd killed a man afterall.
