The Silver Lining

Arizona

AMANDA'S POV~

I slowly slip out of bed. Kevin is still asleep so I precede to make my breakfast. I grab the milk and lucky charms. I pick up my bowl and I'm about to put it in the sink when a loud scream startled me making me drop the bowl with a loud crash. The scream was followed by a eruption of laughter.

I turn to see Kevin clutching his stomach laughing to death.

"Not funny Kevin!" I say as I pick up the remains of the now broken bowl.

"It was....HILARIOUS!" He bursts out laughing once again.

I stick my tongue out and walk past him.

After what felt like forever he stopped laughing and started driving. He wasn't very talkative today so I kept to myself and started thinking. My mind wandered to a question that I tucked in the back of my mind: What if Kevin never came along?

I thought about this for a while. First of all I wouldn't be on this 'roadtrip' and secondly I would be an ordinary girl. But that is the thing... I don't want to be an ordinary girl. Kevin brought brightness into my sad little life.

my thoughts were interrupted by a nauseous feeling. I looked at the clock and it was about 12:38. I clutched my stomach and started heading toward the pull out couch. my eyes fluttered shut and sudden drowsiness over took me.

~~~~~~~~~

A screech if brakes woke me up. A voice I have come to love calls from the drivers seat.

"Amanda we're here. come on"

"I'm coming I'm comin!"

I slowly get up and get dressed in the bathroom. I'm wearing black shorts and a gray tank-top with a light black jacket and I put my hair in a tight ponytail. then it's grab my boots and backpack. Kevin is waiting for me outside the door. His eyes widen as he sees me.

"wow Amanda you look-" he starts

"Oh shut it" I laugh

"Well it's this way." he points but I grab his arm and point up,

"actually it's that way."

i love climbing so this mountain shouldn't be to hard. It's not that high anyway.

"Well let's get started"

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

"Finally! we have reached the cave!" Kevin yells into the cave.

"stupid" I snicker and walk past him

"hey wait up!" he runs up next to me.

"slow poke."

*********

after walking for like 30 minutes we sit down to take a break.

"Well I don't know bout you but I am gonna take a quick nap." i state

"so will I. " Kevin yawned and laid down.

I did the same and quickly fell asleep.

*********

~~~~KEVINS POV~~~~

I stretched and yawned once more.

"hey Amanda time to wakey wakey."I said but there was no response.

i shoke her but it didn't talk. It's her bag duh! Then where was she??

Then I heard a soft moan, "Kevin"

I ran as fast as I could and I saw her so I slide next to her. She was covered in blood. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?? I looked around for the animal and I spotted a tiger getting ready to pounce. I turned my gadget into a shot gun and shot the animal.

"oh Amanda. poor thing." I said.quietly.

I.picked her up bridle style and grabbed our.stuff and went to the RV after a short time.since I was going so fast down the mountain.

i laid her down on the table and immediately started cleaning and wrapping her wounds. She held back her tears long enough. One by one they started coming and falling off her cheeks.

Out of no where she started giggling. She pointed toward the her bag. I questionably looked at her then the bag and back.to her but she kept pointing at it. I slowly lifted the flap to reveal a handful of small diamonds.

"oh Amanda," I laughed, "always with the surprises. oh how I love you!"

she smiled a huge teethy smile.

"how did you get them?" I asked

"Well I woke up before you and I didn't want to wake you up so I went deeper into the cave. I mined them and cleaned then with the gadget thingy. I put them in my bag then went back to see if there was more. Suddenly the creature pounced on me. It was to fast. I couldn't defend myself or even see what animal it was. I started saying your name for about 2 minutes and that's when you woke up and saved me. And now we are here." she slowly whispered.

"I'm so sorry. I should have woken up. This would have never happened." I held my head in my hands and tears threaten to spill.

"hey, it wasn't your fault. no body could have seen that coming. Let's just get some sleep." she said

I helped her get off the table and very slowly I laid her on the bed and pulled a light blanket over her.

"hey what about you? aren't you gonna sleep?" she asked as she yawned

"I am gonna start driving. Wanna get another item or take a visit home?"

"Well where is the next item?"

"oh baby it's in Japan."
