Autistic Innocence

Chapter Sixteen

Justin's P.O.V

My eye twitches as I resist the urge to bang my head on the steering wheel until I'm knocked unconscious. Why did I agree to a three day trip with two little girls who weren't even in the third grade yet and a teenage boy who's going into high school? I groaned out loud when something comes flying up front and hits the windshield, bouncing back, then successfully hitting my face and I hear all three of them laugh and whine and then laugh again once the object hit me. "Okay, the next person to throw something up here jumps out while the car is moving." I threatened and give them a stern look through the review mirror. The girls smiles innocently at me and my eyes widened at the sight of Cameron. "Cameron get your hairy little legs inside the car before I make you jump out while it's moving." I say. He smirks at me and leans forward, making a weird but funny face at me since he wasn't taking me seriously and holds his hand up to me.

"Cameron so help me, I will turn this car around in the next two seconds and y'all won't be going to Dsimey World and then you're just gonna end up flying out the side of the car." I shrug. "One.." I say. The girls gasp as I mockingly turn the steering wheel slightly as if I would turn, which they thought was real. "Cameron! Hurry and get in the car because then juju won't take us to Disney world!" Lilly begs him and pulls him inside as I close the window after him and lock it from the little control panel attached to the side of my door. He gives her a weird look. "And I would fall out the car and probably end up with no legs?!" He says. She shrugs and I can't help the laugh that slips from my mouth as she goes back to playing on my iPad I lent her....

"Ugh, you guys seem to be getting heavier and heavier, I swear!" I groaned as I toss the girls into the booth gently and smile as they laugh uncontrollably. I sit down across from them and soon Cameron decides to join the family, a frown on his face accompanied by a grumpy look. I smirk at him, "What's up with you?" I laugh as he moves the girls over and sits at the end and glares at me. "You forgot me at the gas station!" He says. I laughed even harder. "I said I was sorry bro! In my defense, I had two little girls that just had to go to the restroom and then wanted candy and chips and drinks and we're still tired and whiny." I smile innocently at him. He squints his eyes at me. "I walked into the bathroom with you." I just shrug. "I came back for you didn't I?" "Yeah, after fifteen minutes! Do you know embarrassing it was to sit outside on the curb for fifteen minutes like I'm a child?" He asked. I couldn't help the small laughs that kept leaving my mouth. This was extremely funny to me. Just his face when I realized I had forgot him and when he saw me kept replaying in my mind. I shake my head. "I'm sorry dude, but hey, that was fifteen minutes of silence without you in the car." I say. He just narrows his eyes at me and I hold up my hands in mock surrender. "Man, I swear one of these days I'm just gonna end up on the back of a milk carton if you don't get your priorities straight." He muttered as I ordered. "Oh yeah?" I tease as I pass Avalanna her drink and Cameron gives Lilly her's. He nods as he takes a sip of his own drink, "I would never let that happen to you though, because I care way to much." I smile as he shrugs. "You still forgot me." He says just as the pizza comes and we all grab a slice after we thank the waitress. "I said I'm sorry dude." I chuckle, "And can you pass me that drink?" I ask as I take a bite of my pizza.

"We'll all I'm saying is don't be expecting no 'world's greatest father' award at the moment." He shrugs as he eats his pizza and passes it to me. He didn't realize what he said, but I sure did. He basically called me his 'father.'

And nothing could wipe the smile off my face...
