peekaboo, I'm watching you

Chapter seventeen: packing for the road ahead

Amy's pov :

I made my way to Quins house, with my luggage in hand.  I dragged it with all my strength, getting out of breath by the minute.
I give up I exclaim. I looked back and realised I only made it a couple of houses down from my own. I sighed , I really wish I hadn't packed as much! It's taken most of my energy getting the flipping thing down the stairs! Let alone down thw street, I thought to myself.

I whipped out my phone from my pocket and dialed Jakes number, it started to ring.

After the second call he answered in a rushed voice, "hello?".

I breathed heavily and replied, " it's me numnuts,  could you come and give me a hand with my luggage?  You live the closest to me and I can't carry the bloody thing".

"Hmmm.. well you did just call me 'numnuts' so I might just make my way to Shane's and leave you to it" he teased at me.

I groaned in annoyance before moaning at him "Jake. .. please would you help me out here!" I stretched it out as much as I could.

"Fine hang on I'm on my way" he replied and hanged up the phone.

After seven minutes passed by, I saw him walk around the corner with a huge grin across his face. As he walked closer towards me he started to clap his hands and burst in hysterical laughter.  After a bit he tried to pull himself together, holding his stomach as though he wa in pain with his laughter.  I glared at him,  as he managed to say, "hang on a seconds. . Haha.. hoo! Look how far you managed" he exclaimed before chuckerling to himself.

" zip it douche" I snapped at him annoyed at how funny he thought this all was funny.  Ok maybe it was but it's not the point.

Smiling like the mad hatter or the Cheshire cat, he bent down to pick up the suitcase. He picked it up and gasped out,  " bloody hell woman!  Are you going on holiday or moving house?! . How much stuff do you need?!".

He started to walk with it, straining his arm, I cheekily replied,  " of course I need it all! Everything in there is relevant I'll have you know!".

I skipped off infront of him as he followed behind. " now who has the upper hand" I mumbled to myself.

Abbie's pov:

" is everyone here?" Michael asked looking around at everyone.

"Wait!" We heard a shout and turned our heads to down the road. It turned out to be Jake.
I did wonder where he got to I thought to myself.

He ran towards us with his sports carrier bag, he came to a halt infront of us trying to catch his breath.

He took deep breaths and managed to gasp out between each breath, "Amy. . W-w-wanted.. me .. to carry.. her suitcase .. to Quins house". He steadied his breathing and continued,  " man! That girl can pack!".

I shake my head and chuckle at him, finding the situation quite amusing.
Speaking of Amy and Quin, I wonder what was so important that they couldn't come along with us... I wondered to myself,  lost in my own ocean of thoughts.

Michael carried on with a head count as everyone kept coming inside and coming outside Akesha's house,  moving everything they were bringing.

He moaned in annoyance and started all over again.  Once we were cleared up and ready to go we set off on our little vacation for the weekend.

Kevin's pov :

Me and mike packed up the rest of the stuff and headed towards our seats at the back of Shane's car. I looked out of the window as we drove towards the old lake in burnwoods cabins.
I wonder if Michael and Quin get together. . I wondered,  the thought of them together made me jealous,  it feels like an ache in my heart just picturing it.  I wasn't normally the type of guy to get sappy at the idea of being jealous or angry at the same time that somebody didn't like me but someone elsw instead. But I couldn't help myself to get jealous.

Michael groaned,  "oh man! We're driving behind the women! We're bound to be doomed they'll probably crash into us.. and we're behind them!" He exclaimed in a joking tone to break the silence between us all.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled.  Paul and Jason started chuckerling too as Jase said, " dude, you do realise how a little bit, incredibly sexist that is?".

Michael waggled his eyebrows playfully,  "yeah but it got you guys to laugh".

Shane even joined in with a little chuckle at Mike as he carried on tailing the girls behind.

Jase leans forwards towards Shane , from the back seat next to me, " so how's everything with you and Ava ?" He asks.

"We're good,  just taking it slow at the moment its only been a two, nearly three weeks, too early to declare if we're official but I think we are amd I hope she does as well" he replied im a hushed tone as he squints , probably due to the sun.

" That's great man!" I cheered for him.

" I feel bad for Jake.. we left him to defend for himself amoungst the girls! " Jason exclaims laughing. We all joined in too feeling sorry for Jake.

" ahh, that's where you're wrong,  think about it one guy, a car full of girls the only torture he'll go through is a mental one! But I bet he's loving it" I laughed out thinking of how Jake would act in that situation.

"How's the situation with Quin and you Mikey" Paul asks smoothly.

" Still working on it,  she's a handful I can tell you that! Bought her flowers,  chocolates , movies, those weird teddies they like you knkw the grey ones with the patch?  And still nothing! " Michael exclaimed and sighed in defeat.

I could feel it again ... jealousy rising up inside me. I couldn't stop the feeling as I teasingly said sarcastically,  "why? She turned them down again?".

Michael snorts and says playfully , " hell no! She took them! And then she shuts the door in my face every time!".

I laughed at it,  I felt jealous but it was funny I had to admit.  I  raised my eyebrows and asked Paul, " hey Paul, how about you and Akesha?".

" We're alright I talked to her the other night about stuff.. she seems alright" he mumbled in response to my question.

Shane rumaged around the CDs he puts in the glove compartment and takes one out and puts it in the CD player on the radio and starts to blast out some songs.

This is going to be a really long weekend. ..

I  mentally moaned at myself.
