practice makes perfect

"BOYS!"

-

Finn was outside.

He stood on little gray pebbles known as gravel. Trees surrounded him, along with the sound of birds chirping. He loved nature, for some reason, he enjoyed being outside as much as he did inside now than when he was a child.

The bright sun shined, peeking through the limbs of the oak trees.

He stood alone in the middle of this open gravel pit. It was as long as a parking lot, probably in construction for something.

Suddenly, a soft hand grabbed his hand from behind, Millie now standing beside him, looking up at his face as he admired everything around him.

"Are you ready?" She asks, he snaps out of his daze and turns to her, shaking his head adorably before she smiled at him and pulled him towards Caleb's car.

Everyone was hanging out by a pile of oak trees that had been cut down, watching as the pair walked towards the car.

Finn was getting ready to practice, he took a deep breath as he approached the drivers side.

Millie walked back to the groups and sat down, giving him a thumbs up. He takes her reassurance gracefully as he gets in. The only person on edge was Caleb, he didn't want his car to get totaled.

"I'm sure your car will be fine." Natalia says as she leaned against the fresh stumps of wood.

Caleb didn't take his eyes off of Finn, "Are you sure he can drive?" He asks, his voice trembled, why did he let Finn use his car?

"Oh yeah. He's good at it." She says, crossing her arms as Finn starts the car slowly. The suspense was killing Caleb. Millie believed in him and so did the rest of the group.

Finn started to drive the car at the end of the gravel where the forest met, turning the car around and facing the open lot.

He took a deep breath, looking at himself in the mirror before closing his eyes for a brief moment. Then a small smirk appeared on his face, he was gonna do a donut and scare the shit out of Caleb.

So, he suddenly switched gears and slammed on the gas, the small car roaring as he sped to nowhere.

He watched as Caleb was on the edge of his seat.

Suddenly, he jerked the car one way and continuously turned as he did a donut in the middle of the gravel pit, it was a little slippery but he was doing it.

Dirt erupted everyone, clouding around the car instantly.

"Holy sh-"

"He's doing a donut with my car!" Caleb yelled, pointing towards the car now standing up as he cut gaten off quickly.

Millie giggled, Natalia joining in as the boys just watched in awe.

Finn stopped doing donuts and drifted the car around as he just drove around the lot, having a blast. Driving was the most easiest thing to him.

Soon he stopped the car and got out, his hands in the air like he was on a roller coaster. He yelled a little yay and let his hands drop.

"You did it!" Millie yells, cupping her hands over her mouth. Natalia claps her hands excitedly. Caleb and gaten looked at each other before running over to him quickly, asking him loads of questions.

"I told you, he's good at it." Natalia muttered, smiling at Finn. She always thought of him as the brother she's never had. He was the sweetest and coolest little bro she's had, and she gets to say that.

-

"So, I guess you don't really need practice..." Gaten trails off, everyone was sitting around the shed just relaxing.

Millie was leaned into Finn as they sat on the couch, his arm rested in her lap protectively.

Finn nods, "Guess so." He mutters and continues to watch the tv. He used tv as an outlet to learn more words. It was convenient and taught him surprisingly well.

"So, are we actually going to do this tomorrow?" Caleb asks as he sat on the rug, his back against the couch. He stared at the tv too, just not really focusing on it.

Gaten rolls his eyes and so does Natalia, "Absolutely. Do we have a choice?" Natalia asks firmly, she didn't need an answer to the question.

They all had the plan sorted out and Natalia was just tired of hiding, she knew Finn was too. Both of them couldn't run for long and the only way to end this is to do something about it.

There was a small moment of silence, everyone's eyes just focused on the blue screen.

Gaten looks over to Caleb's bowl of popcorn, it was just sitting on the ground next to him. He wasn't eating it.

Slowly but surely, gaten grabbed the bowl and started to slide it towards him softly on the rug. Caleb hadn't noticed so he took this as a clear.

"Bro, are you serious right now?" Caleb asks, realizing that gaten had stole his popcorn.

"What?"

Caleb rolls his eyes with annoyance.

"You know what."

"What?"

"What do you mean what?"

"What do you mean I mean what?"

"What do you mean I mean that you mean wh-"

"Boys!" Natalia yells like a mom, slamming her hands on the couch angrily, catching the attention of everyone. Finn flinched and leaned into Millie, he's seen Natalia's angry side and it's not good.

Caleb and gatens heads snap over to her, their faces clearly portraying fear.

"Stop fighting, okay?" She says.

They look at each other and Caleb sighs, giving up his popcorn, knowing that he wouldn't need it.

After about an hour or two, everyone had gone to bed.

Millie and Finn fell asleep on the couch, Natalia sleeping in the bed.
