I wake to the sound of pans crashing. "What the-" "Hey there" says Micha, suddenly in front of my face and kisses me. I get butterflies and kiss him back forcefully. "Woah," he smirks "calm down. Maybe later all right? I have to check breakfast" "Wait, did you buy stuff?" "Yeah, this morning while you were asleep." "Oh" "I'm allowed to leave aren't I?" "Yeah, sorry." I start to lay back down but Micah stupid me. "No no no no no. We are eating because we need to make it to Death Valley by this afternoon." "Ok, I'm up. what did you get?" "Just eggs and bacon. I'm not making a gourmet breakfast." "Well let's eat." I sit across from him and start freaking out inside. what if I can't find her? Will I have to hurt anyone? oh God. I begin eating because I know I have to today. I scarf it down without tasting it A's pot my plate in the sink before Micah even finished his eggs. I go get dressed and prepare for a dangerous day.
