getting through

raisins

‘’we should fine someplace to stay before it gets worst’’ Jacob says. ’These bags aren’t water proof and our food will be spoiled’’.i say while we course down the block. Jacob stops halfway down the block and turns. ‘’we need to find a car’ ’to stay in? ’’ I ask ‘’no to stay in’’ I roll my eyes. He picks up a metal bar that just happened to be on the street and walks to the nearest car. ’What are you doing’’.

‘’I’m trying to get into this car’’ he says. ’this isn’t grand theft auto you don’t need to do that’ ’he seems annoyed’ ’do you have any better ideas’’ he says throwing the bar to the floor. i walk over to where he’s standing. ’if I were running away from killers I don’t think I would have time to lock my door’’ I say while opening the passenger seat door and laugh at his expression he’s mad that I’m smarter than him.my brother smiles and gets into to the back seat.

‘’Calian can you organize the food in the bag for me please’’ I say turning to my brother. He nods and takes the bag from my hand. ’We need to get our weapons organized too’’ Jacob says pull Maya out of the bag and frown when I see that the chamber is empty. ’Did we take bullets’’ I turn to Jacob and he nods. A few minutes later we have all our weapons set out on the dashboard. Four guns twenty packs of bullets for each gun, five throwing knives and two hand held knives. ’We don’t have enough ammo to last for the rest of the month’’ I say.’’ I know we don’t have enough food either’ ’we stay in silence or then my brother falls asleep. ’He hasn’t talked in two days should I be worried’’ Jacob turns to me and shrugs. ’So what’s your deal’’ I ask him. ’What do you mean’’. ’’You give this whole bad ass vibe and I can tell it started before this or you wouldn’t be as guarded’ ’what’s your deal you give this I’m so innocent vibe and you act all badass’’ he responds. ’Touché but really tell me about yourself’ ’your annoying you know that right’’. ’’Not really you’re kind of the only person left to talk to’’. ’’Talk to your brother’ ’he’s sleeping’’. ’’God dammit just leave me alone’’. ’’Nope’’ I say putting up a fight. He just stares at me ‘’I don’t like people staring at me’’ I mock him.’’ don’t flatter yourself’’ he says still staring at me .i start feeling uncomfortable. He could be a rapist for all you know i mean you just met the guy and you’re in a car with him.''my name is Jacob Cole jc for short and I'm seventeen my favorite color is orange''.i look  over to him knowing hes quoting the hunger games.''orange ?''.''not bright orange.but soft like the sunset''.''very cute i can tell you don't talk to girls much''. he scoffs''i do but they're dumb blonds and there isn't much talking''.''eww did not need to know that''.''they're usually drooling '' he winks.''i wish you would go away''.my stomach growls.''when was the last time you ate'' I can't believe he heard that.i roll my eyes ''why are you so concerned about my health''.''I'm not'' he says harshly while getting the food pack from the back. sure. he hands me a pack of raisins and i decline.''eat it'',''I'm not hungry''.he opens the small box and takes out a few and puts in his hands and pushes them to me.''what are you gonna feed me like a bird''.he nods ''if you don't eat it i will force you''.he leans over to me and i back away.''i will tickle you to death if you don't eat it'', i shrug .he starts tickling me and my protest turn into wheezes. his lips are only inches away from mine. if i pull up only a little i could kiss them. this isn't the first time we've been in this position but this time its different in the moment and all.''will you eat them know'' he says his breath strangely smells like mint. ill reminding my self later to ask him how.''maybe ,maybe not'' i  grin.''okay you asked for it'' he says.''ah'' ''you are not feeding me''.''oh yes i am now ah''.i open my mouth and he drops a raisin in there. and then it hits me I'm being feed by a guy i don't even know and why are we still so close.''now chew'' he says and i start chewing what am i doing why am i listening to him.''are you going to finish eating this when i move''.i and ''yes Mr.Cole sir'' i say in the deepest voice i can manage. he laughs then moves away.''now'' he says slapping my back''your gonna help me hot wire this car''.''i don't know how to do that''.''me either but we're about to learn how'' he says child like joy all over his face .its like it was his dream to hot wire a car or something.
