Well, I know nobody really cares about my random rants, so I hope you enjoy!!!!

*****************************************************************************************************************

I open my eyes and  look outside the window. There's nothing but open plains and darkness. I don't even see another car on the road. That's when I remember Zoe has been driving since eight A.M. I look over at Zoe, she looks wide awake, but its humanly imposable not to be sleepy.

"Why don't you let me drive?" I offer

"No." she says firmly.

"Oh, come on! I'm not that bad of a driver!" I protest.

"There's a reason why you failed your driving course." she states bluntly.

"Hmph." I pout. I cross my arms and turn away from her until I see a red box reflected in the window. I grab the box and open it up loudly and pop a stick of pockey in my mouth.

Zoe risks looking away from the road for a second to glare at me. "Put the Pockey down."

I stick another one in my mouth and smile. "Well I wouldn't eat it at all if I had something to do.... I don't know, something like driving."

She gives the road a glare that I know is meant for me. Its not until I make a reach for her Coke that she pulls over. "Fine, have it your way." She mumbles as she gets out of the car.

I jump out of the car excitedly. My parents would never let me drive. I jump in the drivers side and look at the clock. Wow, its already a little past one. Zoe gets in the passengers side and quickly takes her Pockey and Coke out of my reach. For a while she munches and watches me closely, but apparently I'm not that interesting and she falls to sleep.

Haha, I think to myself. Step three accomplished! I go over the check list in my head again. Step one, Find an awesome friend to share my last week with. Check. Step two, rob a store and get supplies. Check. The shooting wasn't initially part of the plan, but if was fun. Original step three, lose virginity, but that one was moved to the end of the list. So driving a car illegally is now my step three. Check. Now for step four. I pull over and look at the map. I check where we are and smile to myself when I see it is close.

Its about six A.M when I pull into the parking lot. I decide to let Zoe sleep a bit more and get a bit of shut eye my self. I wake up to Zoe shaking me. "Luc? Hello? Earth to Luc! Mind telling me where the Hell we are?" Ya, that's Zoe for you.

"Hmmm, I think somewhere in California." I say with my eyes still closed.

"Haha," She says dryly. "Seriously. What are you planning to do at place like this?"

I open my eyes and see the place for the first time in light. Its just a huge open field with a small building up front and a shed a few hundred yards away. I smile up at Zoe and say one word I know she will dread. "Skydiving."

***************************************************************************************************************

"How the Hell did I get talked into this?" Zoe asks as we walk towards the plane.

"Well, you didn't put much of a fight." I reply. "You pretty much went white and just followed me."

She just glares at me. "I'm never letting you eat my Pockey ever again." She pouts as she crosses her arms across her chest.

I bite my lip trying not to laugh at her childish treat, but just wave it off and let her pout. I put my helmet on and gear up for the flight. Once I'm ready I look over at Zoe who has yet to put her helmet on. I walk over to her and see whats wrong.

"what up?" I ask

"When you go Skydiving, you have to go up in the air, right?" She asks me with out looking up.

"No shit Sherlock." I say as I cross my arms.

"But i'm afraid-" She starts

"And look how many fucks I give! Your doing it even if I have to knock you out and throw your limp corpse out the side of the plane!"

That really dosn't help. She just turns whitter, if that was possible. I sigh and shove her helmet on her head and drag her over to get the rest of the gear on.

As the plane takes off I am pumped. I mean who doesn't what to skydive before they die? Hell I wouldn't mind dieing while sky diving! When its time I grab Zoe by the hand and drag her over to the door. She blinks, looks out and instantly walks away.

"Don't think your getting out of this one!" I grip her wrist tighter and pull her out of the plane with me.

My first thought was, 'I'm flying'. My second thought was 'Holy shit! Zoes dead, she not screaming!'

Quickly I turn and look at Zoe. Her blonde hair flowing behind her, her green eyes wide, and her rose lips smiling. She looks at me her smile continuously growing bigger. 'She feels free too' I think. She grips my hand back and I take in the scenery around us. I can see miles and miles of farm land and a large forest bordering it. I close my eyes as my parachute flys out behind me.

Flying through the air I feel my heart beat speed up to match Zoe's. I feel like we are one flying through the air. No fears, no emotions, no weight, just freedom. You can bring friends with you on the journey to freedom, but you can bring your other half.

We each open our eyes at the same time and look at one another. We smile. Who needs the world when we have each other.
