Free AirHead by Kris P. Kreme
Jeremy is a guy pushed too far by his ridiculously high maintenance girlfriend Jennifer.
During a road trip for her to finally meet his family, Jeremy has done little more than listen to constant complaints, everything he says wrong, everything she says right, every attempt he makes to calm her down only stirring things up.
But when he gives in to her demands to fix the low pressure in his tires, the indicator giving her visions of imaginary car crashes on the highway, stopping at a T-Station may change their relationship forever.
T-Station, owned by Trance-tory has Free Air, and after Jeremy loses his cool with one of their air hoses… it may just have a Free AirHead too.
Jeremy and his girlfriend Jennifer are on the road trip from hell… at least Jennifer seems to be quickly making it that way. While he has always been a pretty easy going guy, there is only so much anyone can take from a girl like Jennifer.
His buddies for as long as he has dated her have warned him to run away… but Jeremy never took that so seriously. Yet now that she has done little more than complain during the entire drive across the state to finally meet his family, he’s starting to feel like this is the trip that simply has to end in disaster.
It’s so much more than merely being high maintenance. Jennifer complains about how he drives, about how he doesn’t drive, about things he talks about, about things he doesn’t talk about, and generally spends as much time glaring at him as she does anything else.
Feeling as though he is getting some sort of instructional driving test half the time and berated for not planning their entire life and future together the rest of the time, Jeremy is definitely doing his absolute best just to try and keep his cool. But Jennifer is not making that easy, and no matter how cute she is, there’s only so much a guy can put up with, even Jeremy.
When Jeremy makes a comment it always goes wrong somehow; when Jeremy tries to pay a compliment it always goes flat somehow. The trip is seeming worse and worse the closer they get to finally meeting his parents and his brother, and the irony is, he has tried to tell her many times that his family really isn’t all that interested in his personal life, in who he is dating. It’s just not really their style. But of course Jennifer seems to know everything, and when an alert sounds and an indicator of low tire pressure illuminates on the dash of his truck, one might think they were headed for a tragic collision the way Jennifer is reacting.
Jeremy knows his truck, has seen the indicator act up sometime in colder weather, and he knows it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. He even tells her he can use the compressor at his parent’s house to top off the tires and they will be all good for the trip home. But of course Jennifer insists they stop as soon as possible and he fix it at once.
Unfortunately, or will it be fortunately, the nearest place off the wooded rural highway is a fairly new T-Station, a place that should have air pumps but is run and owned by a company Jennifer has made many points in many arguments of saying she would never support in any possible way… a company known for corrupt and downright depraved behavior in business as well as their tendency to takeover various industries. T-Station is of course a subsidiary of Trance-tory, and Jennifer has never even let Jeremy so much as set foot in the parking lot of a Tech-n-Toys store.
Yet it seems when choosing between the irrational fear about the indicator light in Jeremy’s truck and giving Trance-tory any business, she may end up making a costly decision.
Still ranting and complaining as he pulls in behind the T-Station, Jeremy is barely holding on, just wanting to use the Free Air pump, shut her up, and move on with their road trip. But will Jeremy finally reach his boiling point and find a truly twisted way of shutting Jennifer up? Will she get a mouthful and more from him after giving him nothing but an earful for hundreds of miles on the road? And just what will happen when Jeremy discovers how truly cathartic it can be to use that Free Air for more than just his truck tires?
In the end, Jennifer may end up meeting so many more very friendly characters than Jeremy’s family, especially when she suddenly finds herself becoming a Free AirHead.
