Danger II // J.N

Chapter 1

Anna's POV

I sit outside the gas station, sitting in my car. I nervously tap my fingers against the wheel, anxiously waiting for Jace to hurry up in the store. All but one light is off inside.

I look around as I keep watch for anyone. I glance at the clock on my phone, reading 2:45am.

I see Jace bolt towards my car, coming from behind the store. I grin as I quickly start up my car. He opens the passenger side door and climbs in. I press the gas before he even closes the door.

"Jesus Anna, chill out! No ones around!" He yells. I laugh. I drive down the road, hearing sirens coming from afar.

"Where to?" I ask, checking to see if it's alright to turn left.

"You know, Anna."

I raise an eyebrow.

"Hmm?"

Jace looks at me. "We gotta get outta here, babe. They're onto us," He looks back, seeing the flashing red lights turn left.

My jaw drops as I gasp, glancing at the rear view mirror.

"Anna, watch out!" Jace yells.

I look straight ahead, slamming on the brakes, skidding off the road.

ding, ding, ding,

I slowly open my eyes, realizing my alarm is going off. I reach over and tap the off button. I rub my eyes, looking at the time.

5:30am.

I take a deep breath, trying to process my dream.

Jace and I robbed a gas station, but we got in an accident before we were even caught.

I'm not sure where it came from. It just happened. It was terrifying though.

I scratch the back of my head as I sit up. I grab my phone off the nightstand, unlocking it. I text Jace. Not like he'll answer.

Anna: guess who's up and will need to be up at this time for the rest of her high school career.

Jace: guess who didn't sleep at all!

I giggle.

Anna: why not?

Jace: I never do the night before the first day. Ever since first grade.

Anna: that happens to me sometimes. at least you don't need to be up until 8.

Jace: why can't you just drive yourself to IPAA.

Anna: It's legit an hour away. that's 10 hours a week. I can't do that.

Jace: smh

Anna: I'll visit you later today.

Jace: it's not gonna be the same without you.

Anna: I know.

Jace: watch me drop the fuck out in a week.

Anna: watch me kick you the fuck back in.

Jace: woah.

Anna: gotta go get ready. I want death.

Jace: I want a burrito.

Anna: you're so weird.

Jace: ha.

I smile and stand up out of bed. I look around my slightly lit-up room. My bed pushed against the wall. My nightstand and cubby against the wall next it. My desk and chair on the other side. My dresser across from the bed, against the wall next to my door. And my clothes rack next to my desk. Posters of 5 Seconds of Summer, G-Eazy, Bebe Rexha, and Shawn Mendes plastered everywhere except the wall my door and dresser are on. That wall is special for my concert tickets and album covers. White stream lights line around the top of my walls, outlining the ceiling.
