Danger Days: Keep Running (Book 1 in the Danger Days series)

Chapter Eight

Gerard's POV

Ray started the car and pulled out into the desert. Ray was driving at a solid 70 miles per hour. It was killing me. I pushed Frank into the back of the car with a lot of protest from everyone.

"Gerard, no. What are you doing?" Frank asked me, eventually giving up and climbing into the back.

"Sit down. What are you doing?" Ray asked, looking over at me.

"Let me Drive." I told him.

"No!" He told me exasperated.

"Can I drive?" I asked him.

"No." He told me.

"Why not?" I pouted. He looked at me like I was crazy. "What?" I asked him innocently.

Gerard-" Ray started.

Frank cut him off, " let him drive. 'Cmon Ray, please?" Frank started pleading.

"Please?" I asked Ray again.

"Fine." Ray sighed.

Ray and I switched places. I adjusted the mirror so I could see Frank in it. I drummed my fingers on the steering wheel and looked at him in the mirror, "What are you thinking Frank?"

"Hmm, well, you could," He paused for a second and smirked, "Floor it."

"Just what I was thinking." I smirked and floored the gas pedal.

"Gerard!" Ray exclaimed.

I could hear Frank laughing and cheering, "Woo-hoo!" He yelled out the window.

Mikey rode up beside my window and waved to me. I waved back and sped up more. Frank stuck his head out of his window. His hair was flying wildly around in the wind and was getting in his face. Ray pulled him back inside and started scolding him.

In the middle of it he turned to me, "Slow down!"

I was more focused on beating Mikey. I stuck my head out of the window and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Gerard! Get back in here!" Ray yelled, he grabbed my shoulder and yanked me inside, which made me jerk the wheel away from Mikey.

I quickly straightened our path and started trying to catch up to Mikey again. I waved to him as a passed him. He shook his head and flipped me off. I just kept going.

A couple seconds later I saw Mikey next to my window, then in front of me. I don't know how fast we were going but everything was a blur as it sped past. Mikey put his hand up in victory as we made it to Zone 2. He slowed down considerably and let me pass him. I slowed down too and kept pace with him.
