Unknown Pov.
Lucas did not plan this.
Yet he found himself trailing Elena Moore.
he didn't know why he kept following her.
But he gave himself many reasons to.
maybe because of the way, she had broken down when her boyfriend walked out on her, or because he just needed to take more pictures of her, or maybe he was just curious as to what the famous Elena Moore was going to do after a break up.
But then of course it had to rain.
He had thought of leaving when it started to rain heavily, but then he changed his mind.
And after about two three minutes her car came to a stop.
And just like that her car came to a stop.
His heart skipped a bit when she stopped in the middle of the highway while it was raining heavily. It was dangerous.
He could see her through his glass window.
He saw how vulnerable she looked, he saw her real emotions, the unfiltered side of Elena that no one had ever seen, but still he picked up his camera and took pictures of her.
He saw her head drop on the steering wheel, for a moment he thought she was hurt, but then he realized she was crying.
She looked like a woman breaking apart on the highway. something shifted in him, when he saw and heard how drivers cursed at her.
And just like that, he grabbed his phone, and keys within minutes he was out of his car, and running towards her car in the rain, his camera long forgotten.
His hair had fallen to his face as a result of the rain.
He didn't know what he was going to do or what he was going to say when he reached her, all he knew was that,all he knew was he was not going to let her be on her own, in the rain, and on the highway.
He hesitated for a while, before tapping gently on the driver's widow.
But she didn't respond
He tapped again, this time around
She jumped, her eyes bloodshot, her mascara dripping down her cheeks.
She met his eyes through the glass of the window.
When it did not look like he was going to leave she lowered the window a bit, just to hear what he had to say.
Hey, he said gently, you okay? You are uh...blocking the way.
That was lame Lucas he muttered almost to himself.
Her eyes were red. I am fine she said silently too silent that if Lucas wasn't close to her he might have missed it.
Lucas was reluctant….. he could have just said I know who you are, or I had been following you from the rooftop, he knew that if he did she was going to shut him out and that would not do her any good,so he lied instead.
I don't know who you are or what you are doing here all by yourself but please let me help you he said gently without break eye contact.
She didn't answer she just stared at him.
Lucas tapped the window again when she didn't say a word, he felt uncomfortable as the rain ran down his body. But she didn't move he had thought she had completely ignored him.
The slowly the lock clicked opened.
He moved back expecting her to get out and move to the back seat. But instead she slided into the passenger seat without looking at him nor saying a word.
The slit of her dress fell open as she moved and her flawless legs were on display.
Of course she was a beauty goddess even when her heart had just been broken.
And him, he was the guy people assumed was a playboy. Maybe they were right after all.
But right now as he looked at her he couldn't even summon his usual smirk.

When he climbed into the drivers seat a little bit of water, dripped down his clothes and onto the leather chair, but he didn't seem to care.
His main concern was her.
Where would you like to go he said, his voice low as if he was afraid she might break.
I will drive you there, anywhere it may be.
Or do you want to call your friends or family.
She froze at his words, her hearts was beating fast, not at his words,but from the truth.
She did not know who he was, did not know his name, or why he was helping her.
For all she knew he could literally be anyone.
Her mind whispered several reasonable warnings.
You should not trust him Elena, you do not know him, do not be stupid.
But it was too late now he was already sitting in her car, and beside that the thought of her being alone scared the hell out of her.
Then slowly without her hand reached out, her fingers gripped a tiny part of his damp shirt.
He paused, his eyes drifted down to her trembling hand, and back to her face.
Her touch was so small but it held him in place.
Elena shook her head, her voice breaking as she spoke
No no
No calls, no friends no family.
I can not let them see me this way.
Just drive me anywhere please.
For a moment Lucas stared at her with concern.
That is not a big deal, he said calmly. I know a place, somewhere you will feel better.
You just have to trust me.
She still did not know who he was but there was something about the way he spoke. Calm and reassuring, that made her believe him.
After their little exchange Elena did not look at him. She just pulled her knees closer to her chest and rested her head on them like a child.
He glanced at her for the last time and he whispered
Just hold on I have got you.
And Without another word he started the car and drove off into the night.
