"Are you sure you want to go to Washington?" Juno asked, looking at a map on her phone.
Eli looked away from the road for two seconds to look at her with a confused look on his face. "You're the one who picked it."
"Yeah but do you want to go there?" Juno asked.
"I want to go wherever you want to," Eli said, making Juno look up from her phone and continue to pet the cat on her lap.
"That's cute," she said, her stomach fluttering and her cheeks becoming pink. Eli looked at her and sent her a smile which made her cheeks turn red.
Her phone ringing made her jump and drop her phone on the floor. Agent Coulson meowed and Juno picked up her phone. When she saw the name all color drained from her face.
"Who is it?"
"Tory."
"Answer it."
"I can't answer it she'll yell at me," Juno said.
"She's probably concerned about you," Eli said. "Just talk to her, you haven't even texted her you're okay."
Shit he has a point, she thought to herself before pressing the green button and holding her phone up to her ear.
"Where are you Juno?" Tory asked as soon as Juno answered the phone, Juno could feel the anxiety through the phone and she felt shocked she couldn't even say 'hello' first.
"On the road, bleeding out," Juno allowed herself to smile but Eli smacked her arm.
"That's not funny."
"You're right I'm sorry. . .Im sorry for not telling you anything," Juno apologized, genuinely, her hands were clammy and tears pricked her eyes. "Im so sorry."
Tory was quiet, the slam of a door confirmed the Tory was in a public bathroom. What day was it? Was she at school?
"Its terrible here without you," Tory mumbled, leaning against the stall door.
"It sounds awfully quiet in that bathroom," Juno said.
"How'd you know I was in the bathroom?" Tory asked, looking around as though Juno was peeking from the next stall over.
"We spend half of our time hiding in the bathroom," Juno giggled. "I know the bathroom sounds."
Eli pointed at a big rock as they passed and Juno looked at it in awe. It was huge and it had paintings and graffiti and things carved into it. . .it was nice to look at. It was like everyone who ever came here agreed that that one rock was going to be their canvas and the rest of nature was not. Eli and Juno shared a look as Tory continuously asked if she was still there.
