"So.. Where are we headed?" I look over to Haeley and she looks back at me, "The closest rest station." Then her eyes set their gaze back to the winding road in front. As signs for rest stops appear we make our way to them, the wind howling through the air and blowing my short hair in the wind. We come to a stop and fold the seats back in the car to rest, I reach over to the backseat of the car and rub-edge through my bag looking for my phone. As I check to see if there is any missed calls or messages I'm surprised to see none. ( what am I talking about my family wouldn't miss me.) I rest my head against the chair as my eyes begin to droop closed. "Huntaah, thanks for coming. And uhhhh its been great so far." With that I have no reply but just to nod. As I close my eyes darkness takes over, my mind is empty throughout my sleep and when I awake Haeley is still asleep. I brush away a piece of hair covering her face and stare at her, " I do like her" my conscience echoes through my head and I don't push the thought away any more.

Haeley's Pov
I feel a hand brush over my face and tuck hair behind my ear, my eyes flutter open and I see Huntaah staring at me but he looks away when he notices I see him. " Morning, ready to head off on another part of our adventure." I say and he nods and offers to drive but I object. I set off on the rest of our journey and Huntaah reaches over to the backseat and returns with four chocolate bars, my stomach rumbles as my eyes hover over the chocolate " When was the last time I ate" I wonder. He places to chocolate bars on my lap and opens one of his, " You should eat them before they melt." He says laughing at my rumbling stomach. I take one and rip open the rapper, taking a bite of the mouth watering chocolates nod it melts in my mouth. "MHMMM so good." I say aloud and Huntaah laughs at me, " I think he likes me" I say to myself and I wonder if I like him, he's always been my greatest friend.

Huntaah's Pov
As Haeley eats the last of her chocolate, I grab two bottles of water out of her bag as she asked. We both gulp down our water leaving half the water left and see signs for bungee jumping. I shudder at the idea that Haeley suggests we go, I disagree ( but come on I never get a choice with her😁) and she just continues to follow the signs. I absolutely hate heights and that is the only thing I have never told Haeley I would be too embarrassed to tell her but now it can't be hinden. I look over at Haeley and she is looking at me, her crazy purple hair makes me laugh as I recognise the adrenaline shining in her eyes. " What are you laughing at?" She asks, " Just your CRAZY hair!" She pulls a strand and laughs at it herself.
As we turn the last corner to the bungee jumping Haeley smirks and looks at me, I pull a smile to convince her that I'm not scared at all, I'm actually terrified inside and I think she notices because she giggles evilly. "You ready Huntaah?" I just look at her and supply a brief nod, my hand finds its way to the side of the chair squeezing the cushion of the chair as I tremble with fear. As we pull up out the front of the bungee jumping station, I hear screams echo through the atmosphere around me and I start to shudder and shake. Haeley grips my shoulder and gives it a stern shake, "So Hunt you ready?" I hear the sarcasm emit itself through her voice. " I-I guess.." Is the manageable thing to say and the only thought I can think is.... I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!!
