What lies beneath

Chapter:05

"Gods Blu- I mean God! God Dammit it Blue, you've got me talking like you!" Lance groaned in horror.

"Youre talking like that's a bad thing!"

"Yeah, 'cause it is"

"No, it's not!"

"Whatever" Lance ran a hand through his hair.

"Stop pouting!" I said

"Im not pouting" he retorted.

"Sure..... " I smirked at him. He just glared at me and leaned back in his seat.

"Um.... where to?" The cab driver asked.

"The airport please" Lance replied.

The cabbie nodded but didn't say another word.

After that I tried to get Lance to talk to me, but he just shook his head and closed his eyes. I tried staring out of the window for a while, it didn't work. I groaned and sat up in my seat.

Lance still hadn't opened his eyes and the cab driver was staring intently at the road. I raised my legs onto the seat and put my head out the window, so I was still facing Lance even though I couldn't see him.

The wind tore through my hair and I had to blink to bee able to see. I threw my hands up to shout when the car lurched forward and spun to a stop.

The cab driver got out of the car,not bothering to close the door.

"Are you crazy?" He yelled. I saw Lance get out of the car. He looked at the driver before following his line of sight, to me.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?"The driver yelled again. I stared at Lance,over the roof of the cab.

"He's talking to you"

"Me? No, I'm not!"

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" He yelled, his face red.

"No! I'm jus-"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE, GET OUT OF MY CAB!" Tomato face yelled.

"Well,half of her is already-"

"I WANT ALL OF HER OUT!" Lance was most brutally cut off by none other that our trusty steade, tomato face.

"Okay,okay. Come on Blue. We've better catch a cab in the next two minutes, if we don't want to be caught by the police again"

"AGAIN?" Tomato face yelled.

I played along and sighed. "I guess so. I don't wanna spend the next few years in prison too" I said and got off the cab door.

"Prison? Don't you mean juvie?" Tomato face asked.

"No. The court decided they couldn't send me to juvie, just because I killed a couple of-"

"I don't think 12 is a couple" Lance cut me off, using air quotes on the emphasised words.

"More or less a couple. But seriously can you believe that?" I turned to ask Tomato face,only to be met with a trail of dust and dirt, the cab a speck in the distance.

Lance and I stared after the cab for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.

"Goodbye tomato face" I yelled.

"Seriously, You still didn't stop with the nicknames?"

"Nope and not gonna"

"Great" Lance said sarcastically, but I ignored the sarcasm

" I know. Let's get a cab"

He rolled his eyes but still followed me. We walked for a few minutes.
