*NOT PROOF READ*

Mom informed me that it would be warm when we got to Florida, but not too warm. I decided to go with a simple outfit for the car ride. I slipped on my black stockings with my black high wasted shorts over them. I added blue long sleeved shirt. I tucked it in and added a brown belt for decoration. 

I applied a little eyeliner and mascara to my eyes and put it back in my suitcase. I brushed out my bed hair and let it dry into its natural waves. I pulled on my thigh high socks and added my ankle boots. I pulled on a black beanie and added a scarf. 

I sprayed my lovely perfume on my neck and wrists. I placed my perfume in my bag then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I finished I placed my toothbrush in a zip lock bag and stuffed it in my suitcase. I was finished when my mom called for me.

I slipped my phone in my back pocket and grabbed my headphones. This'll be a long car ride. 

"Okay, here's what's happening." My mother explained, "Ryder will be riding with us, while the bags go in his mother's car." And I wanted to protest right away. "I wanted to take my car." I interrupted. "Your brother is taking it." I sighed and nodded nevertheless. I made my way to the back seat because I always got car sick in the front if I went on long car rides. 

Plus I really wanted to have the back seat to my mom's Kia to myself. My mom piled the suitcases in the front seat and forcing Ryder to sit in the back with me. This is going to be a long butt car ride. I sighed and popped my headphones into my ears. The car door opened on the other side signaling Ryder was getting the car. 

I pulled my feet up to sit criss cross applesauce, and looked out the window. "Are we ready?" My mom asked and I nodded my head and turned my volume all the way up. I drowned my thoughts with Ed Sheeran. 

Settle down with me

Cover me up

Cuddle me in

Lay down with me

And hold me in your arms

And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck

I've fallen for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

You wanna be loved

This feels like falling in love

Falling in love

We're falling in love 

There was a tap on my shoulder and I paused my music. "Yeah?" I asked. "Do you want anything from the gas station?" My mom asked. I shook my head 'no'. "Wait, can you actually get me a Red Bull?" I asked her and she nodded. "Anything else?" She glanced at Ryder, "I'd like a Red Bull too." He answered my mom and went back to look out the window. 

My mom nodded and closed the door. I rolled down the window and shouted out after her, "Can you buy me a pack too while you're in there." She sighed and nodded nevertheless. My mom didn't always agree with my choices but knew it was my life. 

I slumped back in my seat and played my music again. I changed the song to a different Ed Sheeran song. 

I wanna be drunk when I wake up

On the right side of the wrong bed

And never an excuse I made up

Tell you the truth I hate

What didn't kill me

It never made stronger at all.

Love will scar your make-up, lip sticks to me

So now I maybe lean back there

I'm sat here wishing I was sober

I know I'll never hold you like I used to. 

RYDER'S POV 

Her mom went into the gas station and was getting us what we asked for. What did Effy mean by a pack? I could hear her music and it was a nice song. It was slow and she hummed it quietly. I wanted to talk to her; I needed to talk to her. 

Her mom came out with our Red Bulls and handed one to me then to Effy. She turned around in her seat and gave Effy a stern look. Effy sighed and took her ear buds out. "Effy." Her mom said in a stern voice. Effy waved her off dismissively. "I know; we go over this all the time." She said in a small voice. It was cute. She held her hand out and waited for something. 

Her mom huffed and slapped it into her small palm I used to spend holding. Effy smiled at Lilly, and Lilly rolled her eyes while smiling back. She turned back to the road and started up the car. Effy put her headphones back in and I looked out the window. 

Effy was pounding something against her palm, but I refused to look over at her, then there was a sound of plastic crumbling. She was looking franticly for something and I had to observe her. Whatever she had in her hand was hidden. "Can you hand me that, mommy?" She asked reaching over the seat and pointing at something.

Her mom sighed and handed it to her nevertheless and I looked back out the window. I heard the sound of something that sounded like a lighter. I looked over at Effy and she had a pack of cigarettes in her hand and one hanging out of her mouth. She lit it and rolled down the window a little. She took a long drag and exhaled it after a little. One thing ran through my mind. 

That's hot. I didn't think that she could get any better. Proving me wrong once again. I scooted closer to her. And popped an ear bud out of her ear. "Can I get one of those?" I asked raising an eyebrow at her and pointing to her pack of Camel's. "No." She responded bluntly. Damn. She's so hot. 

I nodded and moved back to my original spot. She sighed and had the pack opened in front of her waiting for me to take one. I smiled at her and got one out. I brought it to my mouth and she handed me her lighter. I smiled a little at her in thanks and lit my cigarette. 

"Oh, great, not you too." Lilly exclaimed from the drivers seat. Effy and I laughed at her mom. "Hey, at least I'm eighteen and legal to buy them." I said defending myself, and Effy scowled playfully. I rolled down my wind and took a drag at the same time Effy did. She was smiling at her mom and her mom smiled back nevertheless. 

I smiled at them and watched as Effy leaned over her moms seat and pressed her lips to her mom's cheek. "Thank you for supporting the things I do." She whispered in her mom's ear, but I could still hear. Her mom kissed Effy back on the cheek and Effy sat back in her seat and looked out the window the rest of the car ride; while I looked at her the rest of the car ride. 

This girl is perfect and I need to make it up to her.
