Max and Ellie (Editing)

#6- Car Chase

We get off the plane and the moment Ellie realizes where we are is hilarious! I wish I got it on video, oh wait! I did.

Her mouth dropped and she started bouncing up and down.

Ellie: "Eeeeeeh!!!! I'm in Las Vegas!" While she was stealing I video tapped her jumping up and down. When left and got a taxi to our hotel room. When we got up there she still had a huge smile on her face.

Ellie: "I can't believe we're in Las Vegas! Are we only here for 2 days to? We should stay longer."

Max: "Well, it's been 5 days, which means we have 9 left and we're staying here for 6 of those days so yeah, longer then the others." She gasps still smiling.

Ellie: "Omg omg omg!! This will be so much fun!" I chuckle and put my stuff away. This room also has 2 beds so I don't have to sleep on the couch. Although I will admit I wouldn't mind sharing a bed with Ellie.

Shut up pervert.

Ugh. My stupid conscious. I usually don't listen to it but it's getting on my nerves.

Max: "It's really late so let's go have dinner and go to sleep." She nods and we leave.

It's really hot outside even though it's night time but I guess thats Nevada for you. We eat at a nearby restaurant and then get a taxi on the ride back to the hotel. When we're about 10 minutes away from the hotel the taxi driver pulls to the side.

Max: "Uh, dude? What's happening?"

Taxi driver: "There's something wrong with the car, I'm getting a to-truck." I sigh and then a police car pulls up behind us. He comes up and starts talking to us.

Policeman: "What's wrong?"

Max: "Something is wrong with the car."

Policeman: "Do you want me to drive you two back to your house or hotel?"

Ellie: "That would be wonderful! Thank you." He nods and we go into his car.

Ellie sits in the front while I have to go in the back. She tells him what hotel we're at and he starts driving but a minute later we hear his walkie-talkie start speaking. I have no idea what it's saying but I heard something about a speeding car. Suddenly the car accelerates and we go flying.

Max: "Woohoo! I'm in a car chase!" I yell out the window and get a few strange glances towards me. I chuckle and look over at Ellie who looks terrified. So this girl will go on any rollercoaster but she doesn't like fast cars... okay then. I reach out and put my hand on her shoulder.

Max: "Just look down and make sure your breaths and steady. Think of something else." She nods and looks down then smiles.

Ellie: "I know exactly what to think about." And then quietly she adds, "You."

I don't think she wanted me to hear but I did and I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes thinking of none other than Ellie.

After about 10 more minutes of chasing the car the police catch him and then the cop takes us to the hotel.

Max: "Thanks copper!" Ellie lightly smacks my arm and smiles at the cop.

Ellie: "Thank you so much officer." He smiles, nods, and then drives away. Ellie turns to me with a mad expression.

Ellie: "You don't call cops coppers to their faces!"

Max: "Eh. Let's go up stairs we need to put on our bathing suits."

Ellie: "What? It's 10 o'clock at night? Why would we swim?"

Max: "Come on! Let's just do it."

Ellie: "Can't we just do it tomorrow?"

Max: "Nope. Tomorrow there will be a bunch of people but there's no one at this time!"

Ellie: "Well yeah, because it's late!" I roll my eyes and we walk upstairs.

We put on our bathing suits and go downstairs to the pool. When we get there we put our towels down and I immediately jump in splashing Ellie a little. She screams and scolds me and then sits down slowly getting in. I watch her and all her beauty as she accidentally slips into the pool. I laugh so hard but I don't see her come up. I suddenly get nervous when I feel my feet go off the ground and I loose my balance and fall into the water. When I come up above the water I see Ellie laughing.

Ellie: "Whoops." She says and we both laugh.

Max: "Your going to regret that." I say pointing a finger at her and then it's total war. Well you know, a splash war. No one really won it cuz after awhile we agreed on a truce. We got out of the pool and then I looked at the time. 11:11. I look up at Ellie.

Max: "Ellie guess what!" She looks up at me.

Ellie: "What?"

Max: "It's 11:11 so make a wish!" She smiles and closes her eyes. I do the same and make my wish.

I hope Ellie doesn't die next week, I hope she lives a long life.

We both open our eyes and she grabs my hand and pulls me to the door. I quickly grab my stuff as she does. She pulls me all the way to our room and when we get inside she let's go. I turn around to lock the door but Ellie pulls me into a tight hug. I hug her back and then she let's go and goes to the bathroom. I smile as I lock the door. I go into the porch of our room and look at all the lights around. The hotel is just to the left of the big bright city so you can see a bunch of lights. I wait for Ellie to be done with her shower and then I go into it. The warm shower feels so good right now but I kinda wish me and Ellie could've stayed in the pool forever. We had a blast I guess. When I came out Ellie was under her covers on her phone. I slipped into my bed.

Max: "Goodnight Ellie. I l- um, I hope you sleep well." Sh*t! Did THAT word almost slip out! Oh my god no...

Ellie: "You to Maxwell." She said teasing me.

Max: "Yeah okay Eleanor." She gasps.

Ellie: "I've always told you that's not my real name so why do you keep calling me that?!"  And we continued fighting

Yep. That's how our night ended. Us bickering! But that's no surprise.
