Road Trip

|Chapter 15

"Hehey" a stranger on the bus, around 19. Probably. "Name's Jack. You had quite a sleep there."

"Yeah, Kyle." I offered my hand, in which he gladly shook. "We have some....some....." Dizziness. No. I wasn't dizzy. It felt, stranger.

"Ky..." Jack's voice fading..

Where? The first word that popped in my head. 'Where'.

"Kai." Kia was sitting by my bedside. "You slept for three days."

Three days? That's not possible. Its not.

"Uh huh." Chris was sitting by the couch. "Three straight days."
"So uh, where are we now?" I said, trying to change subject.

"KYLE!" Adonis and Nia yell together. "Don't try to act like that was nothing!" Adonis yelled again.

"You slept for three straight days. That was long enough for Jord to finish watching her Arrow marathon." Nia said. "Why do you keep blacking out?"

Because I'm cool. I jokingly think to myself. I manage a laugh. Everyone looking clueless.

"Probably my head. It's nothing. I'm serious. Just continue on the road. We still have a surprise to pull off, right?" I said. Changing the subject again.

"We need to get you checked up." Ado said.

"I. Said. No." I say back, low, serious, deep and agitated tone. "I said I'm alright."

Truth is, I'm not. I'm not okay. I refuse to stop the trip just because of me.

"Arrrr, ARF!" Ren jumps on my bed. Licking my arm. "Long time no see buddy." I say back. They could have been lying. Who knows. Maybe I'm still dreaming. Counting my fingers. 10. I have 10. No, I'm not dreaming.

3 days. I couldn't have slept for three straight days. That's jot possible.

Suddenly the urge to pee hits me. My waist starts hurting.

"Yo, stop the bus." I say. Niah stopping the bus. I get down, and take a piss by a nearby tree.

Nice and quiet. Real nice, real quiet.
