Unexpected

Part 4

Nothing was said about the nightmare last night, Ricky observed the older as ej pretended like everything was okay, frantically pacing around trying to find the keys to his car and to figure out what's for breakfast.

"I mean we could have the left overs in the car." Richard rose a eyebrow, eyeing him up and down. "I left a half eaten McDonald's sandwich in there." Ricky scrunched his nose up in disgust, shaking his head lightly.

"Didn't you say you have money? Why can't we just use that?" The curly headed boy asked, the senior made a sudden noise of excitement and pumped his fists into the air.

"I found my keys!" He cheerfully exclaimed, glancing back over to the younger who was carefully gazing back at him, holding eye contact. Ricky already knew from last night that he was going to enjoy this truce, even though he would never admit he liked seeing Ej smile.

Ej cleared his throat looking back at a wall and at the moment it seemed to be the most interesting wall he had ever seen. "I-uhm yea I do have money I'm just trying to be cheap."

A soft sigh escaped rickys lips, he thought back to the messages. Why was he running? He thought about how he would've never guessed that the Ej Caswell had a problematic life but then again he couldn't tell half the youtubers he watched as a kid were problematic.

"Alright let's go!" The taller said, as he shooed Bowen out of the hotel.

The duo sat comfortable silence, Ej was mentally counting how much money he had left fearing and knowing that they'll run before the week ends. He frowned stealing a quick glance at the grinning seventeen year old next to him.

After a little while Ricky started humming a tune, tapping his finger on the side of the car as he stared at all the building they passed by.  Then he started to sing, not that ej minded at all he actually like Ricky's singing voice.

(Do I see them actually singing this? Hell no. Is it a good mashup to where Idc? Yes ofc.)

"Cause baby now we got bad blood, you know it used to be mad love so take a look at what you've done. 'Cause baby now we got bad blood. Now we got problems and I don't we can solve them, you made a really deep cut and baby now we got bad blood." Ricky started out, a light smile feathered onto the eighteen year olds face as he listened to the angelic voice. Then he smirked deciding to add his own taste.

"Well, good for you, I Guess you moved on pretty easily. You found a new girl and it only took a couple of weeks, remember when you said you would give me the world? What was shiny now it's all rusted and good for you I guess your workin on yourself. I guess that therapist I found for you really helped. Now you can be a better man for your new girl."

The brown eyes were wide as the older sung another song, he had never heard that song before.

A/n; just watch the video I linked.

Soft snores echoed through out the car as taunt by lovejoy played on the radio, a goofy smile was on Ej's face as he pulled up towards what looked like to be the Grand Canyon. He looked to his right at Ricky's who's eyes were peacefully closed and his lips were slightly parted. Then a realization hit ej.

"FUCK! We forgot about the food!" He exclaimed hitting his hand on the steering wheel, he froze at the noise of irritation that came from beside him. He slowly turned his head to see a lazy eyed but pissed off seventeen year old staring right back at him.
