The Journey: Second Ride

9

The next morning, Lucas woke up first. He woke up to Max tossing and turning in her sleep. He presumed nightmares. As he walked downstairs he realised he was first up in the house, then he saw the time. It was fucking 6 o clock in the morning- it was his vacation! What the hell was he doing up at 6am!? Hippopotami

"Hello there." He heard a voice say.

Lucas felt his heart drop as he turned towards the voice shouting out, "what the fuck-" he saw the spinny chair turn around revealing Will.

"Will what the hell are you doing up at the crack of dawn?!" Lucas was shouting but like whisper shouting so he wouldn't wake anybody up.

"I always wake up early- you should know that. Why are you up so early?" Will had a pillow on his lap as he ate cereal.

"I don't know- I guess I just had a really good sleep." Lucas shrugged walking over to the sofa.

"How come?" Will asked turning his spinny chair around to face Lucas again.

"Relieved I guess." Lucas was doing that annoying thing, you know when somebody reveals small parts about what they are talking about. It's like they are purposely trying to piss you off or something.

Will rolled his eyes, "Relieved about what?" He was getting impatient.

"Did max not tell you? She's not pregnant." Lucas looked at Will, who had his hand up against his mouth in a fist as he nodded. He was chewing his cereal.

"Mhm! Yeah I knew that before you." He scoffed. Lucas just laughed and turned on the tv.

"How come shows on the tv always suck early in the morning." Lucas nagged.

Will didn't respond, he couldn't be bothered.

"Hey when are the interesting people gonna wake up?" Will asked.

Lucas' jaw dropped, "Excuse me?" It was a sassy response. Will laughed as he saw the shocked expression on Lucas' face.

"I am literally cooler than all of them combined." Lucas crossed his arms and turned his head away swiftly. Will leaned forward in his chair.

"Even cooler then your girlfriend?" Will leaned on his hand, as Lucas looked to floor. He was hesitating trying to think of an answer.

"Most of them combined." Lucas nodded with his final answer. Will just laughed. They're conversation woke up Max.

"Can you guys actually just shut the fuck up." Her hair was messy and her eyes were practically shut.

"Is that a fucking zombie-?" Will looked at Lucas, who was smiling.

"Messy hair is hot." Lucas responded, he was mesmerised. No matter what, Max always looked beautiful in his eyes.

Will was already sick of their lovey dovey relationship and wondered off upstairs walking past Max.

Max could barely see where she was going, she was literally holding on to the stair railing for dear life. She could still feel Lucas' eyes watching her though, her every move being watched.

"Lucas stop staring at me, even though I'm your girlfriend it doesn't change the fact that it's creepy." Max finally made it to the bottom of the stairs.

"Sorry, your just gorgeous." He did that cute side smile he always does. It always gives Max butterflies. She tried to fix her hair as she walked over to the sofa.

Lucas looked around to make sure nobody was around, "Hey Maxxx.." he smirked. Max was still trying to fix her hair.

"Yeah?" Max responded finally getting her hair under control, she rubbed her eyes so that she could actually see.
