-Lillian-

Just as I started to pull out of the driveway, a car cut me off and sped down the road, almost crashing into me. "What the hell is that guy doing?" I said aloud.

I looked at the car and realized it was a small punch buggy. "Niall, Niall! What's your license plate again?" I shook him awake. "Uh it's... H0ranspeed. Why?" he grumbled. I stifled a laugh and immediately followed that car. "I found your baby."

Niall instantly shot up from his seat and looked out the window looking for his car.
"There it is!" he pointed and I sped on the gas. I made a sharp turn, somewhat drifting my car but it kept its balance.

"Here let me help!" Niall exclaimed and put his hands on the wheel. "Dude! Get off you're gonna make us crash." I swatted his hands away but he didn't budge.

"It's fine! I'm helping." Niall yelled.

"Niall let go!" Liam tried holding back Niall who clearly didn't know what he was doing.

We were getting closer and closer to another sharp turn. I was getting scared we were going to go into the ditch.

"LET GO!" I pushed Niall as he let go of the wheel, making it turn a bit.

We all looked in horror as we're heading straight to the ditch.

I heard both of the boys yelling at me to hit the brakes. I was too overwhelmed and my anxiety has risen up. Anxiety and sleep narcolepsy don't mix very well.

And I guess at that moment I fainted.

***

I awakened still in the vehicle. Still in the drivers seat. I looked to my side to see Niall eyes wide open, staring directly ahead. I followed his gaze and made myself shocked too.

We were balancing on the edge of the road which led to a ditch.

I'll admit the ditch wasn't that deep. Maybe only a few feet feet. But a few feet is enough to damage the car and all of us head on.

"How do we get out?" I asked quietly. The car was rocking back and forth and even the slightest move can make it fall forward.

"The only way is up." Liam whispered.

I frowned and shook my head. "This is not a time for quotes Liam."

Liam pointed to the sunroof, "no literally, go up."

I thought for a moment.

"But what happens to the ca--" the car started to slightly inch forward, making a loud creaking noise. Niall screamed. "Get the hell out!"

I unbuckled myself and slowly started to crawl out the top, Niall right behind me.

"Hey, if we all lean to the back the maybe the car will too." Liam suggested.

"LEAN BACK!" Niall screamed.

"Niall I'm literally right here could you please calm down?" I snorted.

I got out and tried to pull up the car while Liam and Niall rocked it backwards. Eventually the car wasn't balancing anymore and was completely on land.

"We made it." I sighed. "Now I have to go pee." I sat back in the car.

"There's no time to go pee we're going to lose the thief!" Liam yelled and this time he hopped into the the drivers spot, pushing me into the back seat, making me face plant into the chair.

Typical.

Liam sped down the highway.

"It is so hot and musky and I have to peeeee." I whined.

Niall shook his head, "Stop complaining, this is a matter of life and death."

"Hey, you're the one who dragged me into this mess." I crossed my arms.

"You agreed to it." he snarled.

"did not."

"Yes you did."

"Don't talk to me."

"Go away Frenchie."

Liam immediately slammed on the breaks. "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!? HONESTLY WHY? NEITHER OF YOU ARE FIVE YEARS OLD SO STOP ACTING LIKE IT!"

Both Niall and I were silent, as Liam casually started back up the car and out on some tunes.

"Frenchie? Really?" I whispered.

Niall just chuckled and so did I. Eventually causing Liam to break in to laughter.

Around 20 minutes later we were still driving, looking for a thief when I felt the same sudden urge.

"...I have to pee."
