[A little trigger warning for you all, it's nothing much just a creepy man but if it's triggering to any of you, I'd rather you read until you see the little [━] and then skip to the next part of the chapter. It starts after the long space <3]

━━DRIVING HOMEwas a peaceful thing when you weren't the one behind the wheel. And Aurora was glad she wasn't the one driving with how heavy her eyelids felt as she leaned against Gracie.
Her eyes drifted closed as her mind wandered off, Rory felt peacefully calm before a loud yell frightened her out of her half-awake, half-asleep space. She'd lifted her head up rather fast and had ━conveniently━ forgotten that Grace's chin was right atop her head.
Both girls shouted in pain as Rory's head hit her jaw, only succeeding in bringing Happy a tad bit of amusement rather than gaining his concern. "What the hell, Rory?" Grace asked as she held her bruised jaw in her hand.
"What do you mean, what the hell? You shouted; it scared me!" Aurora rubbed her sore head before cradling her best friend's jaw in her palm to check for any actual bruising.
"Oh! Right! Yeah, I wanted to ask," Grace fought her way out of Rory's hands to turn to Happy in the front seat. "Could you stop at Delmar's real quick? My Mum wanted one of their sandwiches, and I told her I'd get one after school."
Happy was no longer amused as he begrudgingly changed his course for Delmar's, a place that the girls often frequented and had only found because they'd gotten lost once and didn't want to risk calling Tony.
He did end up finding out and that was when Tony started the whole Happy being Aurora's personal driver thing. He wasn't, actually, but Grace and Rory still liked to joke that he was.
The drive to Queens was only mildly tedious for the girls and highly so for Happy, but they'd all made it to the Deli in one piece. When the girls jumped out of the car, Happy informed them that he had to take a call with Tony about the stuff at the tower that was to be taken to the new compound.
Rory laughed as Grace almost slipped on a puddle on the pavement in front of the deli as they walked inside, she brought a hand up to Aurora's arm and hit her in an attempt to get her to stop laughing.
