"Are you sure you don't want to watch the movie with us?" Victoria slid out of the passengers seat with a smooth, little jump, both her feet making a thud sound as they hit the concrete.

Words can't even describe how much I don't want to.

I grunted out the answer as I struggled to step outside from the backseat. "Positive."

"Alright." Liz handed me the keys before I could jump into the driver's seat and gave me a worried look. "Be careful, okay?"

A small sigh escaped my lips. "Liz, we've talked about this. I know wh- "

"I'm talking about Brittany," she interrupted me. "Take care of my baby or you'll suffer my wrath."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and shake my head. "You're such a drama queen," I said and extended out a hand towards her.

Liz pursed her lips together, reluctant to give in and placed the keys on my hand. I got a grasp of them but she never eased her grip.

Instead, we just stood there awkwardly as I tried pulling the keys away from her. "Liz, let go."

She finally gave in with narrowed eyes. "Fine," she said while she spun around and started walking. "You've been warned."

Liz was so obsessed with her car that she even gave it a name. It was a white AMG G Wagon with a red and black interior and I'm pretty sure she'd choose her over me any day. This was literally the first time she'd let me drive it, I guess Victoria was starting to turn her into a softie.

Jessica had begged her to let him drive it a countless number of times, he thought it was one of the coolest cars out there, but there's only so much softness Liz could embrace, no matter how many Victorias entered her life - her car had always and would always be sacred for her.

I revved the engine up to life and pulled out of the mall's parking, submerging myself deep into thought as I was accustomed to doing.

It felt like I wasn't seeing so much of my best friend as I was used to seeing but I guess that was kind of my fault too. I might have been a little distracted with other stuff, hence I couldn't really blame her. Plus, I've always been kind of a lone wolf, so I didn't really mind it. I could take advantage of that situation to drive around the city and just enjoy the tranquility of my own company.
