We hop back into Big Red (my car) and almost burn our hands off since the metal part of the seatbelt is literally on fire due to the fact that its scorching outside. We are somewhere in the middle of the U.S. I've never been good at geography so I have no idea where the heck we are. Isaac knows though so I don't question him really. We had to run to a store real fast, we were in desperate need of some supplies to get us all the way to Cali. It was Isaac's turn to drive so I was in the back seat with Lauren. Her head was on my shoulder. Her lips producing small snores. Poor girl didn't get much sleep last night, she had a couple nightmares that kept waking her up.
She would just cry herself back to sleep. Me being myself, it killed me knowing that I couldn't do anything about it even if I wanted to. We pulled into a Walmart, but it wasn't like a normal one it was one of those small spinoff Walmarts. "Alright we're here, get your lazy butts out of the car!" Isaac is a real character, and by 'character' I mean pain in the butt. Lauren yawned quietly and groggily got out of the car. She wobbled a bit but managed to keep her balance. As we walked through the store picking up things we might need, ( toothbrush, food etc.) Isaac kept pointing out things like alcohol and cigarettes. "Isaac!" I scolded him. "Not in front of the little one!" I said, referring to Lauren. "I'm sixteen." She muttered under her breath. "Little nonetheless." I said measuring her height to mine. She scowled at me jokingly. We were walking out of the store when the detectors went off. The sound of loud high-pitched beeping filled everyone's ears. "Run." Was all I said; knowing that if they caught us they would most likely call my mom and have her come get me and I didn't want that to happen. For Lauren's sake of course. We all made a dash out the door and to the car. I kept fumbling for the key out of sheer panic. We finally got in the car. "What was that?" Lauren asked. "I didn't take anything." I admitted. "Did you?"
"No." We both got the same idea. "Isaac?" We both said in unison. And of course Isaac is over there grinning like an idiot. "Isaac, what did you take?" I asked, my mama bear side peeking through. He held up a pack of cigarettes triumphantly. "Cigarettes! Really Isaac?"
"Yes. Man's gotta have his cigs."
I looked at Lauren, she shook her head in disapproval. "Enjoy your cancer sticks." She said in a small voice. Where did that come from? The Lauren I know would never dream of saying something like that.
