John Pov
I woke up in the bus, Alex at my side, per usual. He was awake too, but the lady at his side wasn't.

"Hey, I gotta tell you some stuff,"
He said.

"What?" I asked.

"That lady thinks my name is Parker, so just play along alright?" He said.

"Oh..right, right. I'll tell her my name is Jack then. How are you gonna explain the whole..bandages on the wrist thing?"
I asked.

"I dunno. Imma say I...
Let's just say, I had a fight with glass and the glass won."
He said.

Eh.
It's close enough to the truth.

"Aight..
Parker."
I said, he smiled and took my hand in his.

I kissed his forehead and leaned on his pretty uncomfortable shoulder.

"What time is it?" He asked.
"Not sure." I replied.

The lady next to him started to wake up.

"Morning,"
She said, stretching.

I got off Alex's shoulder, but continued to hold his hand. You'd understand if you were in my position.
He has really bony shoulders.

"Morning." Alex replied.
"Hey," I said.

"This is a weird question, I know but..
I forgot your guys names."
She said, giving an awkward smile.

"I'm Jack." I said.
"Parker." Alex said.

She yawned, nodding.

"You're..Angelica, right?" Alex asked. "You can call me Angie." She said.

Why is she so..
familiar?

"What's your last name?"
I asked.

Alex looked at me funny, but said nothing.

"Schuyler."
She said.

If I was drinking something, I would've spat it out. I coughed quite vigorously, my eyes wide.

"What the hell Jo- Jack?"
Alex hissed.

"She's Peggy's sister.
The-the guard.
At least I think."
I whispered.

Alex's eyes widened.

"Well fuck."
He whispered.

"Whatcha whispering about?" Angie asked.

"Donkeys."
Alex immediately said.

"..Strange, but alright."
Angie muttered.

"So Jack, tell me about yours-"

"Nice weather we're having."
I noted, staring out the window.

"..I suppose."
She said.

Alex cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. "I hear it's hot in Arizona." Alex said, almost as awkward as me.

"Are you going to Phoenix?" She asked. "Flagstaff." I replied.
"Me too!" She said happily.

Well fuck me then.

"It's very pretty there. I'm going there to get a degree at NAU." She said.

"Why are you guys going there?" She asked.

Alex you better answer because I have no good lie. Neither of said anything. I nudged Alex.

"Oh! Um..
Just for a change of scenery really."
He said.

Not bad.

"Nice. I have friends living in Flagstaff and they say it's a really accepting city." She said.

I coughed again.
Alex leaned over and growled,
"Get your shit together."

I nodded, still looking out the window. He rubbed my knuckles with his thumb.

"You aight though?" He asked.
"Yeah. My throat hurts." I lied.

He raised an eyebrow and slowly nodded. "Okay." He said softly.

"Do you know what time it is?"
Alex asked.

"Ten after twelve." She said.

We've only got a day left.
We snuck on the bus, which was the hard part.

We're almost in Arizona.
Almost.

There's no doubt that we are wanted in New York, so leaving the state was a good idea.

I glanced down at Alex's wrist.

"Al- Parker."
I said, nudging him.

"Hmm? Oh damn it." He groaned.

"Should..
Should I unwrap it?"
He asked.

"I don't know. We don't have any bandages to put over it." I said.

"Yeah but I can't keep this one on, it's just going to keep bleeding." Alex said.

"Take off your jacket and just push it on it." I said.

"But that'll hurt." He said.
"So? You already cut yourself, and that was the worst of it. Just do it." I said.

"You sound like a Nike commercial." He muttered, taking off his jacket.

"Hey, if you have a fear of blood I suggest you look away." I told Angie.

She nodded, but didn't look away.
Well okay then.

Alex took off his bandages and unlike it gushing like every other fucking time, it was bleeding regularly, not heavily.

He tied his jacket around his arm, trying not to wince.

"You look ridiculous."
I said.

He rolled his eyes and said,
"You suggested it."

"You still look ridiculous."
I pointed out.

"You really do." Angie said.

Alex rolled his eyes and huffed.
"Meanies."

I got tagged.
Yayyy.
krisss_s is responsible for tagging me.

10 Things about Me;

1. I'm really short compared to my friends. I'm mates with really fucking tall people. At least from my point of view.

2. I'm the second youngest in my group of friends.

3. In all the books I write, there's always one character that I make like myself. I do it super discreetly though, so you probably don't know which character but..yeah a lot of my personality is in a few main characters in every book.

4. Imma be honest.
I hate the first few books I made. They are Jamilton and Jeffmads and it's just..so fucking bad. It was the first ship I knew of though so...
lay off me.

5. I curse way more than I should.
..yeah.

6. I have major anxiety and PTSD. I've talked about it before in this book but I never really addressed it fully.

7. I'm bisexual.
...yeah.

8. My favorite Game of Thrones character is either Robb or Jon Snow.

9. My favorite movie is Nice Guys.
Ryan Gosling is just so fucking funny in that movie and I could barely keep myself together while watching it.

10. I got my friends into musicals.
I don't regret it.

Here's a joke;
What do you call a sheep covered in chocolate?

A candy baaa.

Spoiler
Everyone dies.

I'm just kidding.

I'm not gonna tag anyone.

Your friend,
Your best friend,
Your brother,
