What I Never Told You

Chapter 17: I Meant Every Word.

He chuckles and I smile at him. It isn't that bad. Just a little getting used to. We are going to have a while for that. I mean, we will be in a cabin with two other people and very little to do. Besides figuring this out a bit more. I can't say that I don't like the idea. It seems like it will be pretty fun.

He moves so he is sitting in front of me, my back against the passenger seat, "Maybe that is because we aren't friends right now."

He takes my hand in his and looks at it, "Yeah..."

We sit there in silence, this time not so awkward. When Reyna steps on the gas we are tossed back and I am on top of Cyril. I go to get up when a blanket is thrown over us. After a couple of other things being thrown back, Cyril wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. I raise an eyebrow at him and he rolls his eyes at me.

"Why do they have to have cops on their side?" Madison wines.

"To be fair you have the same thing," Reyna replies as she slows down.

I hear Madison change the channel as Reyna rolls the window down, "Don't move," Madison whispers back to us.

I listen to their conversation, "Sorry, we thought you were trying to get around and the only spot to pull off was right here."

"Just doing a mandatory stop... A gas station not far back reported people vandalizing the bathroom and getting into a van like this one. What are you two doing?"

"Just going to our family cabin for some quality time together."

"No one else?"

"Nope."

There is a moment of silence before the officer says anything else, "Okay. Be careful, we have a snowstorm coming."

I wait until the van starts moving again before letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Cyril does the same and when I look at him I smile. Perfect opportunity for something that I am not going to pass up on. I kiss him before getting up and looking at Madison. She rubs her eyes and I frown at her.

"Get some sleep. When we get lunch Cyril and I will switch out so you two can get some rest."

"Then you will need to change."

I sigh and look at Cyril, he turns around, "I think I can find the channel for his radio."

I sit down and grab my bag. I put my hair in a high ponytail before pulling my shirt off. I throw on a tank top and my black hoodie before slipping off my pants and putting some blue jeans on. I turn around to find Cyril pointing something out to Madison. I sit back down behind Madison and throw on the fake glasses I had just in case.

As we keep going we listen in to the scanner, getting nothing about the vandalism. We switch back to The Academy to see what they have. We listen in and slowly get something we could use. When we get to another small gas station we get out, going to the bathroom, getting lunch, drinks, and putting gas in the van. I get into the driver's seat and we head off. The only noise is the radio, the windshield wipers, and Reyna's and Madison's steady breathing as they sleep in the back.

Cyril leans forward and changes the channel again, going back to the officer that had stopped us. When we hear it switch over Cyril quickly finds it again. We listen to what is being said. My heart dropping at the words. This is going to be a bit harder but that was expected. They are looking for me so that isn't surprising.

I make sure to stay quiet so I don't wake anyone up, "If they are out this way they might go to a small cabin that isn't too far from here."

"I think we will wait to look there. If they were thinking about it more then they would have gone somewhere else that is a little more secure."
