I watch as the light finally turns green "go, go ,go" I shout holding onto the dashboard and roman slammed on the pedal. 

we were being basic teenagers, speeding through a small sleeping town at two in the morning.

I giggled as he sped up even faster, my hair was going crazy as the wind crashed through my window, I felt so free and careless. like I was an actually teenager.

I felt so much better now, roman was good at that somehow. he made me feel happy which was weird there was just something about him that made me happy. "this probably isn't that best thing to be doing after you just got out of a two week coma after crashing a car" roman shouts at the top of his lungs "I don't care" I shout back with a huge grin on my face.

welp, that lasted all of ten minutes before I was standing outside of the car, blue and red light blurring in my face "officer its late you should go home" I hear roman say to the policeman, I could tell he was compelling him "you kids get off the road" I here the officer mumble walking back to his car.

we both get back in the car "he's right we should find somewhere to stay" roman said to me "yea, we did get a bit carried away, I saw one a couple blocks back" I say to roman. we begin to drive again the radio softly playing. my window was still down so my hair was blowing back slightly, it was a bit curly because of the braid I had put it in earlier. I watch the small run down house glide passed as we drive by.

I was thinking about running away, I can't believe I'm admitting it but I would leave with roman. right now I would gather up all of my cash and leave this life, runaway and start a knew one. I had nothing to lose.

yea maybe I have my negligent parents, my sibling will always be with me. I wasn't there long enough to get a job. I would miss some of my things like my walkman and vinyls. but I can get them back.

"what are you thinking about?" roman asked looking over at me, I must of looked deep in thought "nothing" I replied, I lied.

before I knew it we had pulled up to a motel, It looked a but dinged up but it didn't matter to me. We checked in and another enthusiastic woman hand us our keys.  walked in and my mouth dropped, seriously lady, one fucking bed.

"i'll be back" I speak turning to walk out of the room, I feel roman grab my arm and spin me back "now we don't have to cause a scene, we can be reasonable adults and-" I cut roman off "in your dream fang boy"  I spin back walking out the door.

I storm down the stairs I reach reception and there was no one there "for fucks sake" I mumble I ding the bell repeatedly, I can hear the lady walking out cursing under her breath "what is it?" she spits "our room, its supposed to be for two people" I spit back "yes you and you boyfriend" she replies raising her eyebrow "boyfriend?!" I'm not dating him!" I reply in disgust "I want a room with two beds" I say add "too bad there are no vacant rooms with two beds" I furrow my eyebrows "i'll ask again, I want a room with two beds" I say compelling her "I'm sorry miss like I said there are no vacant rooms with two beds" she huffs.

I slam my foot down and walk back up the stairs. I don't know why I was carrying on about it roman was sort of right it was no big deal. maybe I am scared. not physically but mentally. I had never felt something for someone before, I barely had feelings for my parents I didn't know what would come out of this.

I walk through the door frame and see roman slumped on the bed "let me guess" roman says "don't" I say holding up my pointer fingers, roman clicks his tongue "I told you so" he mumbles I shoot a glare at him he quickly shoots his hand up in defence. 

"I'm just gonna sleep on the ground" I mumble grabbing a pillow I turn to place it on the ground but I feel roman rip it out of my hands "you're not sleeping on the floor" he says placing the pillow back on the floor "we can go head to toe if it really matters" he adds. I think about how childish I was being, it really shouldn't matter this much "I dibs head" I say plopping myself down onto the bed.
