a.n. its getting better ;)

"It's not my fault we hit traffic and then had a flat tire!"

"This has seriously been the longest trip of my life."

Lisa rolled her eyes as Chaeyoung huffed and looked out the window. Apparently, their day was destined for disaster the minute they got going. Their 4-hour drive had turned into 10 hours, and neither of them was pleased about it. Between the construction, the car accident, having to stop to eat, and the flat tire by the time they pulled up to the cottage they were entirely over it.

Thankfully for them, it was clear their friends hadn't waited to get the party started. The red solo's were in the sink and the empty tequila bottle sat on the counter. The remnant of the frozen pizza was still on the stove but their friends, well they were clearly passed out somewhere because everything was entirely too quiet.

"I swear if she didn't leave me my room, I'll kill her." Chaeyoung grumbled as she picked up her bag and headed up stairs. "Thanks for the ride." She threw over her shoulder at Lisa who was moving her bag away from the door.

The brunette nodded as she watched Chaeyoung climb the stairs and disappear around the corner.

"Did she leave you your room? Or shall I get the shovel and body bag ready?" Lisa asked from where she peaked over the couch as Chaeyoung walked down the stairs twenty minutes later.

"She left me my room so no shovel and body bag... tonight." She paused before walking towards the kitchen. "Why is it you're lying on the couch?"

Lisa stretched her legs out so that they were hanging off one end. "The sneaky bastards took the other three rooms and the bed that's supposed to pull out doesn't have a mattress on it anymore."

Chaeyoung poured herself a glass of water before walking back threw the living room towards the staircase. "Wonder how that mattress ended up missing?" She said just before walking up the stairs. She didn't need to see the smirk on Lisa's face to know it was there.

"It was your idea!" She heard Chaeyoung stop at the top of the steps.

"One, I'm still pissed at you so we aren't supposed to be talking. Two. I was joking, I didn't actually mean we should put her in the lake!"

Lisa stifled a laugh. "One, you've been mad at me for years no sense in changing a good thing and besides that, I'm a lawyer, we like talking especially when we aren't supposed to. Two. You helped me put Jennie in the lake on said mattress, I just took the blame for it because I'm nice like that."

"You're an ass."

"So I've been told."

XOXO

Two hours later Chaeyoung heard the familiar sound of ruffling downstairs. She knew exactly what it was and why. For a ten-hour drive, very little was said between her and Lisa but she hated how even in silence things were far too comfortable between them. Jisoo's words played over and over again in her head. Everything that had happened, happened four years ago, everything that went wrong went wrong partially because their lines of communication broke down. Regardless her words stood true, she was still very very pissed off that she had shouldered the blame for far too long, intentional or not.

Sighing she got up and started to make the bed, pulling spare pillows out of the closet. Her friends would pay for this in the morning but for now her conscious was taking over because as long as the drive was, she hadn't driven at all and was able to sleep. Walking downstairs she stood against the pillar in the living room and looked at the restless body lying on the couch. "Get up, before I change my mind."
