Exodus

Road trip

"Are you sure you're not gonna come?"
Ruby says as he stands outside with his bags in hand.

"Let's goooo!"
Scrim shouts as he leans against the bus and smokes his cigarette. He walks up to us. Ruby holds me in his arms tight.

"I'll see you soon, yeah?"
He says as he backs away.

"Yes, I will visit I promise."
He gives me one last passionate kiss before walking away.

Scrim wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.

"We betta see yo cute ass soon or imma have to come back and steal you away."
He starts to walk away as I laugh.

"Be safe I love you guys, message me when you get there."
They wave and I wave, then they disappear. A sudden sadness hits me, I told Ruby I love him. He said it back, now he's gone and I feel like my happiness is too. I pull out a cigarette and sit on the steps.

"Cherry."
A voice calls from in front of me as I sit on the steps smoking a blunt. I shoot my head up to see Shyanne.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"
I stand up and hug her with a smile.

"I thought I would surprise you. I haven't seen you in a while."
She says as she sits down with me.

"Yeah sorry I've been trying to spend as much time with the boys as I can."
I say with a soft, sad voice.

"Are they still here?"
She asks.

"No they just left yesterday."
I smirk.

"Why didn't you go with them?"
She questions.

"Because I have a life here shy, I can't just leave it all."
I explain to the confused girl next to me.

"Babe, you don't have to leave it forever. Go see what's in store for you and Ruby. You can bring your fans and YouTube with you and your house will be here when you get back."
I look at her.

"You sound just like him."
I say with a laugh.

"Who?"
She asks.

"Ruby."
Is all I say as I flick my cigarette butt off the porch.

"So wanna help me pack?"
I say as I stand up.

"You're going!?"
She says with excitement.

"I have to, I told him I love him."
Her eyes widen and she stares at me for a second.

"Oh my gosh, c'mon"
She pulls me inside and runs up the stairs dragging me with.

"Do you want to come with me?"
I ask shy as she loads bags into my trunk.

"What? Are you serious?"
She questions with a slight laugh.

"Yes I'm serious, Let's vacation."
I laugh a little.

"I don't even have clothes."
She says.

"You can wear whatever you want of mine. I packed enough for a lifetime."
I say with exaggeration.

"I really want to, that would actually be cool. Ah what the hell? let's go."
She says, getting in the car.

"Are you ready?"
I look at here with smile before I turn the key in the ignition. She smiles and nods her head. We fly down the highway bumping music and blurting our the lyrics.
—
"We should definitely be vlogging."
I say as I reach in a bag for my camera.

"Ewe I look bad."
She says and I just give her an annoyed look.

"You once called me your idol and now you don't want to be in my video?"
I smile at her, she rolls her eyes then grabs the camera and sets it up.
