WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, 2006 (1379 WORDS)
AFTER AN AGONIZING TEN HOUR SHIFT , Riley Walker was finally able to leave work. "Dammit- I still have to close." They mutter under their breath. They grab their keys and lock the front and back doors to the store. They jog to the spot where Adam's car is parked and knock on the window. "Yo, Aves! Open up!" They yell as she rolls the window down.
"Get in, I wa- need an explanation." Ava demands without looking at them. They open the door and sit in the passenger seat of the car. "The night of the whole 'situation' with Oliver, I did die, but when I woke up, the coroners were about to do an autopsy on me." They laugh. "It probably would've hurt, right? So I'm like 'woah, let's not do that. Because, surprise! I'm alive! Let me go!' So they let me go and I ran to the first place I thought of, your parents house. Your siblings helped me look human, and not like a freaky-hyper realistic-Spirit Halloween-decoration." They explain, she finally looks at them and sighs.
"That actually, makes sense, somehow." She rests her head against the steering wheel and laughs.
They scoff dramatically. "Why are you laughing?! I'm the one who almost got cut open and god my organs scooped out and donated!"
"Sorry- Sorry-" She apologizes in between wheezes. "We should probably go before someone realizes that I shouldn't be driving."
"Aves." Riley begins. "You're a one-hundred-fifteen year old vampire, I think you can drive if you want."
"Shut up! You make me feel so old!" Ava whines, causing a laugh to escape Riley's lips. "Hey, after last night I'm not going to be able to age either, don't worry." A (probably stupid) idea crosses their mind, "We'll be old and sad together then." They tease, causing Ava to hit them in the back of the head. "Shut up and let me drive." She commands as she pulls out of the parking lot, beginning their drive back to Ava's house.
Their eyes fall to the floor. "Okay then." They mumble. They put their earbuds in their ears and shuffle their playlist "Mom! It's not just a phase!" (WHICH IS ACTUALLY ON SPOTIFY, GO LISTEN TO IT)
After ten minutes of silence, Ava finally speaks up again, "I'm not mad at you, you know."
Riley takes their earbuds out and turns their head to look at the vampire driving. "Huh?"
Her gaze doesn't tear from the road. "I'm not mad, I sounded mad, but I'm not."
They shrug. "Oh- Okay then."
"So..." She begins. "What are you listening to?"
They throw their head back, resting it against the seat and whine. "You're gonna laugh at me!"
"No I'm not, now tell me or I'm throwing those headphones out the window." She rolls her eyes as she hears them mumble. "Helena."
She surpresses a laugh as she parks her brother's car in their driveway. "My Chemical Romance? Really? Didn't that come out in like the 1800's?"
Their eyes widen and they yell. "1800's?! It was released 2 years ago! The f**k you mean 1800s?!"
She laughs. "To me the 1800s was basically two years ago."
"You're old, I get it." They roll their eyes.
"Shut up, I'm not that old!" She scoffs. "Now stop bullying me or I'll throw you out of the car."
"Well, technically, I can't really die anymore, so do whatever you want." They explain with a smirk.
Without a single word, she unlocks the car and leans over them, opening their door and pushing them out, leaving them stranded on the side of the highway. "Ava! Are you serious?! Get back here!" They scream as they get up, wiping the gravel off of their pants and throwing their hands in the air.
