Best friends: it's a promise not a label
- Unknown

They did the thing I thought they were going to do, sandwich me in the middle of their cars. As I see them both start to come in, I wait until they were a few inches away from me, then hi the brakes. They slam into each other and go off the track. "Now!" I tell Ace. I feel the car jerk forward as I navigate out of the track.

As we get on the highway I ask Ace, "where is your house?" He chuckles. "Man, that desperate to get in my pants already." He arrogantly states. I turn and glare at him for a second before looking back at the road.

"If you must know, I am bringing you with me on this little ' journey ', so I need to know where your house is, or we can go ahead and leave, and you stay in those clothes the whole time you're with me." I grit out, not wanting to talk to him with that comment he just made.

"Alright, but on one condition, because I know you are only doing this to not let those guys hunt me down and kill me." He says with a smirk. I scoff at his accusation, but in reality, he is right. I don't want people to die at my expense. "What is the condition?" I ask. "You let my friends come along as well." He states, proud of himself that I haven't denied it yet.

"No."

"Why not. They're good people, and even though they are in my friend group they aren't all bad. I mean I know we are the bad boys at the school, but we are just living life right now. Also they have been my friends for years, they're basically my brothers, if I go away there is a possibility of them getting hurt and dying because those men are looking for me too." He reasons. Damn, he put me between a rock and a hard place. I don't want any more blood on my hands.

"Fine tell me their address and I'll take you. Do you need to go to your house to get your stuff?" I ask. I feel him shake his head. "No, we all live together, so when we get there, I'll just grab my stuff then." He says, as I nod. He tells me the address to his, well there, house. 

I slightly speed all the way there and pull in. I shove the door open and get out, waiting for Ace to get out as well. He slowly gets out and walks to the front door. Opening it I hear loud screams of two guys playing on a PS4 in their living room.

"Hey guys, come here!" Ace yells throughout the house. I take this chance to look around a little at the house and take in my surroundings and exits.

"Bro, you brought a girl home? You usually go fuck at their house, what changed your mind and come here?" One guy says. "We can go if you want." The other guy from the living room. "Ace, you never told me you had a-" another one comes running down the stairs and falls face first into the floor.

Ace sighs and puts his hand to his forehead and closes his eyes. He looks like he is trying to hold in his anger.

"Guys this is-" the first guy interrupts him and screams, "HEY, you're that girl that told off Veronica. Poop, what's your name. Um..... Oh yeah, Isabella, right?" I stay silent and nod my head. "Well I don't care who you are, but you just became my new best friend!" He says coming over to hug me.

At the last minute I get pulled away from him and closer to Ace. He has his arm wrapped around my waist, and he is sending daggers towards the guy who just tried to hug me.

I move out of his hold and towards the middle. "You now know my name, so now tell me yours." I say quickly. They look back at me in shock.

"What?" I ask them, confused as to why I just asked for their names. Like hello, I'm not a mind reader.

They get the look I send them. "We literally go to the same school as you and you don't know our names, you must have no friends." Klutz says. "To be honest I never really cared for school or the people in it, but I did have two friends, so I am not that anti-social." I state crossing my arms.

"Well, anyways.... I'm Zack," the flirty guy says. "That's Jayden, but just call him Jay," Zack points to the other from the living room. "And that is Lee." He then points at mister klutz.

"Well nice to meet all of y'all, but Ace needs to tell you guys something while I go clean out y'all's fridge." I state calmly as the guys turn their attention to Ace, who is still behind me. I walk out the living and try to find the kitchen. Not long after looking for it, I find it. I smile and head towards their fridge to see what was in it.

Let's see apple juice, sweet tea, beer, and oooo what do we have here.

I grab some soda and open it, smiling. I close the fridge and walk to their pantry. Just as I go to open it, I hear screams and footsteps going up the stairs.

I run towards the entrance and see none of the guys there.

I freak.

Running around until I found stairs and bolted up them, three at a time. I go into the first room I see and run in. "What happened?! Is everyone alright?!" I scream to the person on the other side of the door.

"Careful there, Racer. Calm down, nothing happened." Jay says as he continues packing. "Fucking hell, y'all scared the shit outta me." I state walking out of his room and back down the stairs. I hear his laugh, but I continue my descent down the stairs and towards the kitchen. I pick up my spilled soda can, and grab another one.

I walk back in the pantry and grab some chips and candy then walk back to the entrance to wait on the guys.

Not even 5 minutes later they all come down the stairs and stand in front of me.

"Ok, before we go to our next destination I need you to give me your phones." I say. They don't say anything back and hand me their phones. I quickly pull out the SIM cards and break their phones. I then do the same to mine.

I look back up to see their shocked faces. "They could track any of our phones, plus I've got other ones you can use at the place we're going to. Now do any of you have another car, or is it just bikes?" I ask so we don't use the same car as last time, even though I really liked Ace's car. "We can use my car." Lee states as he grabs his keys and walks out of the house, towards the garage. He opens it and walks towards the black Camaro. I hold my hand out for the keys as Lee opens the trunk. He gives them to me as he puts his one suitcase in the back. The others do the same and get in the car. 

Ace is up in the front with me, on the passenger side this time, and the rest of the guys all sit in the back. I back out of the driveway and get on the road. "Alright guys we have an hours worth of driving, so make yourselves comfortable and watch for anything that seems off." I tell them. "Where are we going?" Ace asks, watching the road go by. The guys curiously looked over to me, wondering the same thing.

"My house."
