Roman slides the door open and reveals his car. You, Roman and Peter are at the garage of Godfrey's.

"Thank god", Roman says and walks around his car.

You stand next to the door, your hands crossed. It's pretty cold out here and it's not even morning yet. 

"So you're just gonna walk away?", Peter asks.

"Yeah, are you Roman?", you ask and yawn.

Roman looks at you two and shakes his head.

"What, you want to leave a note?", Roman asks, his expression lightly annoyed.

"It's not my call", Peter says and looks away.

"Maybe", you sigh and wrap your jacket around you tighter.

"This thing we have to do, my mom's not part of it. She gets pissed, I'll blame it on a blank spot", Roman says smirking.

You and Peter look at each other and Roman walks past you two to the car and opens the driver seat door.

"Oh, you can't drive", you say.

"Will you then?", Roman asks and narrows his eyebrows. You sigh, you don't even have license. You shake your head and turn to look at Peter.

"No. Peter is going to", you say and look at Peter who shrugs.

"You know how to drive stick?", Roman asks looking at Peter.

"Just give me the fucking keys", Peter says and raises his hand.

Roman presses his lips together and chuckles. He almost starts laughing. But when you and Peter just keep staring at him he finally gives up.

"All right", he says and throws the keys to Peter.

You sit between Roman and Peter. It's not much space there. You try to get into a nice position.

Autumn is here and the road is covered with leaves. The air is fresh and you inhale deeply. You feel safe between the boys. You are worried about your father, no one hasn't seen him. But you are sure that he is going to hurt you, again. You shake your head, pushing your thoughts in the back of your head. You turn to look at Roman when he yells.

He is hanging out from the window, the wind blowing his hair.

"Wooo!", Roman yells, when Peter turns on the bend.

"Don't drop yourself", you sigh.

Roman gets up and looks at you, he starts smiling.

"How are you?", he asks.

At first you are confused about his question, but then you realise what he means.

"Fine", you say. You have a lot things, what you should tell to Roman, but now isn't a time to tell them.

"She made an abortion", Peter whispers.

Roman's eyes widen. You stare at your hands not knowing what to say. You aren't ready to talk about this. But now you have to. You turn to Peter.

"Peter, I can tell my own things to people on my own", you say and cross your arms again. Roman stares at you, thinking what should he says. 

"It's okay, it was your thing", Roman says and wipes his nose.

"Yeah, it was just a problem", you say and sigh.

Roman grabs your hand and presses it. It makes you feel better, for now.

¬¬¬
Peter drives the car to the harbour and stops the car.

"Why are we stopping?", you ask, the wind freezing you out.
