The Dark Side

Chapter 2

Alex's POV

I was having a pretty good conversation with Logan, until I saw him. I immediately slammed on my brakes causing Logan to swing forward and hit his head on my dashboard.

"Ow Lex what the hell?" he said with slight annoyance in his voice.

"Sorry" I muttered as I ran out of my car and pulled the boy into my embrace. It was Michael.

"Michael, oh my gosh you're alive! Are you okay?" I said with tears of joy pretty much flowing out of my eyes.

"Alex! Yes I'm fine. I'm so glad you're okay too." he said as he wrapped his arms around me too.

Michael was one of my best friends he has been running through my mind the whole car ride.. him and Kyle. I then heard a door slam. Oh shit.. Jake. I just broke the one rule he set.

"Alex. Get back in your car and drive you can't be stopping for anything. It's like you didn't hear what I told you at the school." Jake instructed as he walked back into his truck. I got back into my car and told Michael he was to come with us because there was no way in hell I was going to leave him behind.

My car ride was kinda awkward at first nobody would really say anything.. I mean there really wasn't anything to talk about, we really couldn't talk about how our days have been so far because that would lead to complete negativity. Michael plugged my iPod in causing my speakers to fill up with music.  I smiled at the song and began to sing along. Michael joined in, but Logan just rolled his eyes.

You know, I know, you know

I'll remember you

And I know, you know, I know

You'll remember me

You know, I know, you know

I'll remember you

And I know, you know, I hope

You remember how danced

For the remainder of the car ride we could forget about the horrible sights that were about to come before us. We were enjoying each others company, and maybe the last time we will actually be able to have fun, laugh, and enjoy the little things in life.

Lucy's POV

My car ride was still full of tension and was silent. Jake kept muttering things to himself.. I feel as though he is going crazy. I looked back to Alex's car I saw that they were laughing and singing. I wish I was with her in her car.. her car was always known as the 'fun' car. I turned back around and faced the road with a smile on my face. At least they were enjoying each others company.

"You know you really need to ease up on Alex.." I said hoping to break the silence between us.

"Why do you say that?"

"You treat her like a kid Jake."

"No I don't Lucy."

"Jake, you do. Just accept it okay. I know you mean well, but sometimes you just push it to far."

"Whatever Lucy" he said with annoyance in his voice.

"Look I know how you feel about her so I feel like you should just tell her."

"No, I can't do that you know that."

"Jake, theres nothing holding you back anymore."

"What am I suppose to say? Hey Alex I like you."

"YES!" I pretty much squeal.

"No, sorry bud."

"If you don't do it.. somebody else will."
