Ze's POV

"We'll find him... We gotta find him. This will kill Adam if something has actually happened."

I sigh loudly. I can't believe Chilled is missing... I hope he's okay.

"So how come you never told me about you and Chilled?" Max springs on me.

I try my hardest to keep my eyes on the road so I don't crash. How? Who? How did he find out?! I just need to stay calm, he's probably not even upset about it and he just wants to know.

"It was ages ago, I didn't think I needed to tell you. It's my past Max. I can't change it." I say calmly.

"I know but it's still a shock..." Max replies.

It must of been Chilled when they had that talk out the front of his but why is he bringing it up now and not then?

"Did Chilled tell you this?" I ask.

"Actually Adam kind of slipped it out. I think he thought I knew..." Max says back to him.

I scoff loudly. What's the point of this conversation?

"Why do you even care anyway Max? You've made it perfectly clear that if something was to happen again that we MAY give it a go but I don't want it like that. I'd like to ACTUALLY give us a go. You can't just kiss me and expect everything to go back to normal like it never happened..." Ze says.

"I was scared okay. I've never done this before but you have. I don't think I'm ready Ze..." Max softly replies to him.

We're not talking about this anymore. Just keep my mouth shut and hopefully he'll stop talking. I need some air, hopefully there is a service station coming up. I better wake Adam up too.

"Adam, you up?"

"Yeah, I just woke up." He replies straight away.

Don't tell me he was up the whole time...?

"You wanna stop somewhere and get something to eat?" I ask him.

"At 4 in the morning..." He replies in a sarcastic voice.

"I'm sure there's like a 24/7 place somewhere."

"Ze's right. We should stop and stretch ourselves. I'll drive the rest of the way as well once we get some food." Max speaks up.

Please do not defend my suggestion.. I spot a Shell gas station and pull into the place. We all get out and Max starts filling the car up with gas. I head on in with Adam  to look at some pies that are sitting in a heated glass warmer. We both pick our pies and wait for Max to come in and pick one out also. Adam starts pacing around me acting more awkward then before.

"I heard you and Max talking before... Sorry for telling him about you and Chilled..." He suddenly blurts out.

I sigh and look up to him.  "It's okay. He was bound to find out sooner or later. I just didn't want him to think about me and Chilled... you know..."

He gives me a sorrowful look. I catch a glimpse behind him and see Max open the door heading towards us.

  "You guys ready? I filled the car right up so hopefully we won't have to stop for gas again. We should reach the cop station at eh.. 12:30... maybe? Let's go." Max says as he grabs a pie as well.

Man that's so long... We all walk up the counter and pay for our things and then we head back into the car. I see Max gets in the drivers seat so I make it my mission to sit in the back so I don't have to look at him occasionally. Adam looks at me funny as I practically sprint to the back seat avoiding Max. We all eat our pies in silence, once we're done we buckle up and Max starts the car back up. Seven hours couldn't be more longer away then right now...
