"Are you ready to go?" Karl asked from the living room. Today was the day they were going to New York for Thanksgiving.
What they didnt know was Corry had planned the entire thing and made sure the Raven family and the Jacobs family had dinner together. It would be the day after Thanksgiving, but no less had the same respect.
"Yeah! Im coming just have to get my stupid bag zipped!" Alex yelled in frustration. She finally walked out with her old soccer duffel bag packed to the brim with clothes and necessities.
"You and your fucking soccer bag." Karl laughed, looking at the worn down bag she's had since high school.
"Respectfully shut up." She said with a smile. Karl lead her to the car and opened the passenger door for her. She got in and threw her bag into the back seat before Karl started the car.
They started their long journey to New York, here are the highlights.
------
"Do you ever just, you know, feel?" Alex asked.
"I certainly felt your tears all over me the other night." Karl said with a smile.
"You're a dick!" She said, slapping his arm softly. He laughed and glanced at her before turning back to the road.
------
"Are we almost there yet?" Alex whined, looking out the window.
"Alex we literally just left an hour ago, no we are not almost there yet."
------
"Ugh, you drive so slow, Karl. I expect to be there in 20 minutes."
"We just left!" Karl exclaimed with a laugh.
------
"Karl, you drive like my granny!"
"Your granny is an amazing driver."
"Was."
"What?"
"She was an amazing driver. She died a year ago. Rip gran."
"Alex!"
------
"Karl-"
"If you complain about me being too slow, i swear to god."
"...Karl you drive too slow, hurry up."
"Thats it, youre driving i cannot handle you."
He was already kicking her out mid laugh in the middle of traffic before she realized he was serious.
------
"Alex, im hungry." Karl said with a small yawn.
"Go to sleep, i'll chose some food in the meantime."
"Pick a good place."
"Dork."
------
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we-"
Alex cut him off by turning the music so loud you couldnt even hear the cars around the car.
------
"Were taking a break at my house, Lex. I dont even wanna drive anymore."
He glanced at her to see she was sleep clutching the hoodie she was borrowing.
------
"Where are we?" Alex asked, waking up from the sudden motion of the car.
"We just arrived at a gas station, do you need anything?"
"Need some dick." She slurred tiredly.
"Alex!"
"Shhh, sleep time."
------
"Are we there yet?" Karl asked from the passenger seat.
"Actually yes we are get the fuck out of the car before i hurt you."
"So mean." He said with a small laugh.
"You're so annoying, I vividly remember why I hated you so much."
"You never hated me."
"She actually talked about it all the time with me, Karl." Corry said from the driver's side now opened door. Alex unbuckled quickly with a smile and jumped on Corry.
"I missed the fuck out of you, Corry!"
"Why does she get the first hug?" Karl asked, getting out of the car with a smile.
"She's been driving." Corry said with a smile.
She let go and walked around to the passenger side to hug Karl.
"Since it's so late and neither of us want to drive, she's gonna stay the night and I'm gonna take her back home tomorrow." Karl said, pulling away from the hug. Alex left her bags and just walked inside, making Corry and Karl follow.
"I'm sure that'll be fine, Karl." Corry said, Alex holding the door open for the two siblings.
"Corry, is that Karl?" His mom asked.
"It is Karl, I brought some company if that's okay." He spoke quietly since it was so late.
"Any friend of yours is welcome here Karl." His mom spoke, looking up and seeing Alex. She gasped and stood up with a smile. "Alex, hunny, hello."
"Hi, Momma Jacobs." She said with a smile.
"How have you been? We haven't checked in in a while, have we?"
"I've been pretty busy finishing up my final semester anyway." she said with a smile, sitting on the couch across from the woman. Karl sat next to her, his bag at his feet.
"How was the drive, did he drive safely?" She asked, leaning back into the couch behind her.
"Actually he did, it surprised me since the last time he drove my car-
"You don't always have to bring that up, Lex." he said, yawning softly and laying his head on her shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah." She said, ruffling his hair softly.
"Well, I'll let you guys get some sleep. It was very nice to see you so soon again, Lex." She said softly, looking between Karl and Alex. She smiled and agreed, pulling Karl off of the couch and back to his bedroom.
"You can sleep in here if you want or you can sleep with Corry."
"Karl, I think Corry went to sleep bro, it's like one in the morning."
"True, do you mind sharing a bed?"
"Of course not." She smiled softly. neither had enough energy to change, so they just laid down on the full sized bed and went to sleep. Neither would speak on the fact that they cuddled all night or that Corry and Shawn both got pictures of it.
