Why, Hello Happiness.

Oh Hello Happiness, I'm Not Available At The Moment. [15]

Okay, so I posted chapter 14 on April 17, 2012. I just posted this chapter today, January 3, 2013. So that is a LARGE gap of time. Don't worry, I hope that by people actually reading it and giving me feedback, that will give me motivation to post more often. Thanks you guys, and please comment and/or send me a message :D

As I continued to sit in the god damn car for another five extremely long minutes, I began to get a little dizzy. Probably because of the small loss of blood that I've endured within the last hour...or two. I can't really be sure how long it's been. I sighed, willing the dizziness to go away and inhaled yet another deep breath as I looked at the door of the store for about the millionth time to see if Drake was finally coming out. I could see through the small window of the store, and it looked almost as if Drake was yelling at Clara. What would he have to yell at her for? I wondered. I shook my head and decided to focus on something a little more not-my-business as I looked up at the sky. Thankfully, I saw a beautiful, breath taking sunset that was taking place within just a few miles away from me. The various colors along the lines of pink, red, yellow and blue were in bold, soft layers, covering the horizon of the mountains. So beautiful...if only the actual world could be that beautiful.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the door swing open and Drake practically sprinted out of there, still holding onto the few grocery bags full of whatever he bought. His eyebrows were furrowed, his lip in a tight line, and the muscles on his entire upper body were tense. I could faintly make out his chest heaving up and down as he breathed heavily. Jeez, I wonder what's made him so angry. I started to shiver a little bit from the cold, mountain air and the lack of supply of blankets that I have become adjusted to throughout my entire life. I crossed my arms over my chest and grew even more anxious as minutes passed, because I was pretty sure my mother would find out about my absence soon. Or not. Hopefully not.

Drake tapped the window and gestured me to open the driver door for him. I rolled my eyes and did as I was told. When I reached to open the door handle, I noticed that it was far lower than I had expected it to be because of the older model that he had. God, I love this car. I smiled and lifted the door handle up for him.

Drake breathed, "Thank you."

He began to swiftly throw the few grocery bags onto the back seat as he climbed into the driver seat and put his hands on the steering wheel. He put the shiny key into the ignition and started the car. The engine roared with an impressive grumble as Drake revved up the engine.

I smiled and my eyes looked up and met his smirk.

"Impressive." I mumbled.

He chuckled. "Thanks. Like I said, I have always loved this car."

I nodded as I began to feel the car move away from the curb (finally) and take a smooth turn out of the parking lot of the store. Soon, after a couple minutes of silence driving on the dirt roads of our town, Drake decided to break it.

"If you reach back, you'll see I got you some food and a few Jones sodas back there. I didn't know what kind of candy you liked, so I guessed." He shrugged, still keeping his eyes on the road.

I nodded and reached my arms out to grab a bag filled with numerous amounts of candy. Swedish Fish, Sour Gummy Worms, Gummy Worms, Cherry Bombs, Runts, Blue Sharks. I smiled and quickly grabbed the runts.

Drake smirked at my choice. "You like runts?"

I nodded and gave him a small smile. "Yeah."

Drake smiled and bit his lip, "They're my favorite too."
