Chapter 13 - Moms gonna be pissed

" Can you check your cell? " Adam asks for the 500th time tonight.

" Adam, " I say seething, " if your cell phone doesn't work, why would mine? " He shrugs. " I'll tell you why, it wouldn't. We have the same plan and phone, dumbass. " As if realization comes onto him, his mouth makes an 'O'. I facepalm.

" You know, you should be nicer to me I didn't have to be here. " He says. Of course I know this, its just I can't control my emotions for some reason.

Bout to get a visit from Aunt Flow, I guess.

" I could be with Zoe right now. I was going to hang out with her but no, I just had to come with you. What a mistake that was. " He says.

That hurt.

" Well I didn't force you to come. " I say harshly.

He looks at me and sighs. " I know. But what kind of friend would I be if I didn't? "

" You said so yourself, it was a mistake. So next time I won't make the mistake to ask you. " I say coldly.

His face softens. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just frustrated. I would much rather be here with you than Zoe. " He says.

I crack a smile, " Thanks. "

" So why did you want to take this drive anyway? Aren't you wanting to spend time with your parents? " He says.

I flinch when he says ' parents '. He notices, because curiosity takes over his face. " What's wrong with your parents? " He asks.

" None of your business. " I say coldly.

Push him out. Push him out. You can't trust him.

" No, tell me what's wrong. What happened? " He demands.

" Just stay out of it Adam! " I snap.

" No! Talk to me dammit! " He yells.

" Adam! This is none of your business. Why are you even here? " I say.

" I'll get it out of you eventually. " He says with determination.

Its getting nightfall, yes we have been out here that long, and it's getting creepy.

" Adam, make a fire. " I whine.

He glances at me. " How am I suppose to make a fire? "

" With the survival kit I have in the glovebox. " I say nonchalantly.

He looks at me incredulously. " You carry around a survival kit? " He asks disbelieving.

" Yeah, doesn't everybody? " I say.

He shakes his head, " your weird. "

•••••••••••

I hear leaves and twigs breaking.

Oh god.

Can this get any more cliche?

" Adam! " I hiss. " Adam! "

" What? " He says.

" Did you hear that? " I say frightened.

" No... "

I hear more of it.

" Oh my god what was that? " Adam says.

" I told you. "

Now let me explain, we are in the car trying to sleep. Adam is is the backseat and I'm in the front. It is dark. We have the windows cracked and I'm scared out of my mind.

" Mel are you okay? " Adam asks.

" Not really. " I whimper. Hey what can I say? He might want to cuddle.

" Here you can come back here with me. " He says.

Mission completed.

I crawl to the backseat. Adam pulls me down so I'm half laying on him and half on the seat. Butterflies are having a spas attack in my stomach.

" Melly? " He whispers, his breath tickling my neck.

" Yeah? "

" You smell great. " He says. I could be help it but I laugh. " Mel, I really wish you would talk to me about everything. " And just like that I turn emotionless.

" Adam, don't. " I say coldly.

" Melly, please. I want to be there for you. " He says sincerely.

" Adam, I don't trust you. I don't trust anyone. "

" Melinda. You can trust me, I promise. " He says, hurt coating his tone.

" Promises are meant to be broken. " I say.

" Not all of them. "

" Yeah, but most of them. "

That was the last thing I said before I fell asleep. I wake up to sunshine shining through the cars windows. I'm on top of Adam.

Well that escalated quickly.

" Adam! " I yell in his face. What can I say? I don't wake people up gently.

He groans and slams his head up and it smacks mine.

Hard.

" Dammit Adam! That hurt! " I hiss at him. Not literally hiss of course.

" Ugh sorry Mel. " He groans.

I get out of the car and allow the sunshine to take over my body.

" Maybe we should walk. " Says Adam as he gets out of the car.

" Yeah, probably. Let's check the trunk for anything we can take. " I say.

We go to the back of the car and open the trunk. First the we see...

A fucking gas can.

Filled to the fucking top.

Moms gonna be pissed.
