Aidens' POV:
     We were all sitting in the jeep speechless. It was the night after we'd gone to the arcade. The night before we'd retrieved the jeep from Ashlyn's house.
      We were all on edge and not sure wether we should go to Savannah right away or wait. It was a bit stressful to think about it because we weren't sure what would happen. I'd we went in the phantom dimension would we be there in the real world? If so what would we do? Would our parents find out where we were? There were too many unanswered questions. Suddenly Im pulled out of my thoughts by Tyler.
      "We should go." He says.
      "What?" I ask. "Why the hell would we go now? We don't know what's going to happen if we go and we have no way of getting over here again."
     "We have the jeep, idiot." Tyler snaps back.
     "You have a brain, use it." He looks confused and insulted by this so I elaborate, "WE DON'T HAVE LICENSES" I hear Ash wince. I must've talked too loud.
     "And?" Half-wit doesn't seem phased.
     "and there are police in the real world" Tyler mouths 'oh' and stops talking. I laugh.
     A few minutes pass. Taylor and Logan are talking. Probably about theories, science class, or mechanics. Ben is drawing. Ash is sitting next to me sitting hugging her knees.
      Her face is tucked in to her knees so I can't tell how she's feeling, however she's usually hard to read anyway so this is nothing new. I scoot closer to her and I hear a sniffle. Like the sound of when you have a runny nose and you aggressively Breathe in through your nose so boogies don't fly around everywhere. Anyways back to Ash.
     I realize that this is probably what I think it is. What the hell am I supposed to do? After scooting closer to her I wrap my arm around her. She sniffles again, only louder this time.
     "Tay," Taylor looks up and at me. She looks confused.
     "Tissue, please?" I ask. She realizes what's happening immediately and grabs the box of tissues. She climbs over the front seat and hands me the box. She then squeezes in between the car door and Ashlyn. Finally Ash pulls her head off her knees and holds her hand out. I give her a tissue. Then she blows her nose and throws the tissue out of the window.
     "Hey Ash what's wrong?" Taylor asks, very concerned. Ash tries to breathe deeply but her breaths came out weak and shaky.
     She seemed like she was gonna stop crying but the moment I thought that she choked out a sob. Now everyone in the car has noticed she's crying.
