Chapter 12 ~ On The Road Again
Delirious POV:
We all loaded back into our RV's. Vanoss and I headed back to our normal seat. Everyone else was soon in theirs, also. Only Nicole and Scotty traded places, so Nicole was driving now.
We were quiet for a moment, and then Skylar hopped up and turned the radio all the way up.
We were all soon laughing and talking.
Suddenly, our favorite song came on.
Evan stood up.
"Life's like a road that you travel on,"
I did, too.
"Where there's one day here and the next day gone." I smiled, singing.
"Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand, " Craig stood up.
"Sometimes you turn your back to the wind!" Skylar sung, standing up.
"Sometimes you turn your back to the wind." Brian sung.
"There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door, " (Mini)
"Where blues won't haunt you anymore!" Tyler joins in.
"Where brave are free and lovers soar!" Nicole joined, smiling, and stood up.
"Come ride with me to the distant shore." Tyler echoed.
Evan and I sang together.
"We won't hesitate, to break down the garden gate,
There's not much time left today!!!"
Then we all joined.
"LIFE IS A HIGHWAY, I wanna ride it all night long! If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long!!!"
------- throughout the whole song -------
Meanwhile:
Lui POV:
I couldn't get Mae out of my head. For some reason, I just couldn't.
Lui! I screamed. What are you doing?
Why was she on my mind?
At first, I didn't think I would miss Mae.
I didn't think I was ever really close to her.
I know Daithi liked her, (as a friend), but I didn't know what I really felt for her.
Did I still love Mae?
No. No way.
That's not right, I thought.
I'm with Macie now, and Mae is with Mike. I've been dating Macie for a year now.
I hate having feelings.
I scrolled down to twitter.
The tweets, the messages.
Everything that we sent each other.
Then the break up video.
The very last time I saw her.
To the time she started dating Mike.
And then we stopped talking.
Last message sent: 10 months ago.
I sighed.
She even played with my friends.
She loved playing video games with Delirious, Wildcat, Vanoss.
She loved streaming.
I wanted to talk to her.
I clicked on her contact.
I never deleted the messages.
I didn't want to read them now.
I went to text her.
"Hey." I typed.
But then I erased it. It was never sent.
I didn't think I could be with Macie anymore.
Not after what happened.
I still wasn't over Mae, and I rushed into the relationship with Macie.
Did I love Macie?
Or was I trying to make Mae jealous?
The front of our RV was dead silent.
No music, no whispering.
Nothing.
I stood up. I can't do this.
I have to tell Macie.
Nogla POV:
Our RV was dead.
Nobody was saying anything.
I wanted, so badly, to join my best friend in the back room.
Lui is the closest I've really ever been to a guy.
Not too close, though. He's just my friend.
People think we're more than that because we've lived together, but we are just friends; we would never be more than friends.
Macie was really upset, so she sat beside me.
But I was more worried about Lui after he talked to Mae.
I've seen that look on his face before, a thousand times over and over and over again.
I also see it with Scotty and Chrissy.
With Marcel and Simone.
With Berenice and I.
With Evan and Delirious.
Lonnah and Moo,
Skylar and Brian.
Between Mini and Tyler,
Nicole and Luke.
From Nicole to Tyler, but Wildcat would never turn it back.
And lastly, from Macie to Lui.
Rarely from Lui to Macie.
Everyone seemed to have eyes for mostly one person, but Lui was out of that for some reason.
I didn't know what was going on in Lui's head.
I saw Lui open the door a little.
He saw me.
He looked sad and depressed.
I wanted to reach out to him and tell him everything would be okay.
He told Macie to come in, and then looked back.
She stepped in and he shut the door behind them.
I was quiet for a while.
I was hoping they were both okay.
I suddenly heard glass break.
I looked up.
Our RV slowed, and Brian stepped on the brakes.
Macie slammed the door open, tears streaming down her red cheeks.
"I'm leaving." She said.
"Macie...." Marcel began.
"Basically. I came... I came to the trip I was invited to. I came to spend time with my boyfriend. But it's not going to happen now, because I no longer have one. And it's just best now if I go. Because I don't need to be here. I have no right to." Tears poured down her face.
Lui opened the door and stepped out.
"Macie." I stood up, going to grab her.
She stepped away.
"I'm so sorry, everyone." she grabbed her bag and stepped out of the RV and started running.
"Lui!!!" I yelled.
He looked at me.
"What are you doing!!? Go get her! Run after her!!" I yelled.
Everyone else was quiet.
"Just let her... " Lui began.
"No! Dude, seriously, go get her!"
He turned back to the room and shook his head.
"Lui. Just do something." I said.
He shook his head and closed the door.
"Lui... " I whispered.
Skylar grabbed my hand and pulled me down.
"I'm sure it will work out, Daithi." she said.
I sat back down.
Brian hit the gas and we continued on.
Craig POV:
We were having an amazing time.
I was holding Tyler's hand.
He had broken up with Kelly a couple of days ago for me.
Suddenly, the van in front of us started to slow.
Nicole looked confused, but she slowed down, too.
Then it stopped altogether.
Nicole stood up, looking concerned. So did Evan and Cartoonz.
Then we saw Macie run out of the RV.
She was darting down the highway.
A six-lane highway.
"Macie?" Nicole stopped the RV immediately and jumped out if her seat so fast she tripped and got back up.
"Nicole!!!" Cartoonz and Vanoss shouted.
Delirious POV:
As soon as Evan got out of his seat after Nicole, I was right behind him.
Luke was with us, too.
Tyler hesitated but ran soon after us.
Macie was running really fast down the street.
Tyler and Evan were the only ones to catch up to Nicole.
"Macie!!" Nicole screamed.
"You're going to get hit!!" Macie fell and Nicole slid and landed extremely hard on the highway beside her.
A semi was rushing towards them.
"Niki!!!!! NIKI!!!! WATCH OUT!!!! " Evan screamed.
"Nicole!!" Luke kept tripping.
Evan started crying. I rushed to catch up to him.
"Evan.. Evan!" I breathed.
My stomach was hurting.
The semi truck didn't stop.
Behind it was a small, yellow mini cooper.
Nicole had broken her leg.
Macie was trying to drag Nicole away.
Cartoonz had caught up to them and began pulling Nicole.
The semi truck was feet away, and it swerved just in time. The mini cooper swerved, but not away. It ricocheted off the side of the semi and launched forward.
Evan screamed.
"Cartoonz!!!!!!! " I hollered.
Nicole screeched and Macie began rocking herself back and forth on the ground.
Tyler yelled for Mini, and Mini picked up a screaming Macie and while Tyler took care of Nicole's leg.
Evan was having a panic attack.
I had to lift him up along with Scotty.
"No!" he kicked and screamed.
"Nicole!!! Nicole! " he hollered.
"Evan, Evan!" I shushed him.
Scotty helped me put him on the bed in the back room.
"I'll stay here with him. Make sure everyone is okay." I said.
Evan was still breathing really hard.
I stroked his cheek and started cooing to him.
"Shhh, Ev. It will all be okay. You're little sister is okay; everyone is okay." I lied, but I wanted to calm him.
"Delirious..." Evan said.
"Shhh..." I said, rubbing his cheek.
I then kissed his head.
He finally calmed down. He put his head in my lap as I sat in the bed with him.
"Delirious." he said. He grabbed my hand.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I love you." he said.
I froze.
He smiled.
I looked down at him.
"I love you, too, Evan. With all my heart." I said.
"Hey, Jonathan?" Evan asked.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Do you think... " he began, hesitant.
"Go on." I said.
"Do you think that... We will ever get.... Married?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Of course."
He smiled.
I leaned down and kissed his lips.
He pulled me closer.
He started getting on top of me.
Scotty stepped in.
"Hey, Deli-" he said. "Woah... Bad time." he stepped right back out.
Evan laughed.
"We better go check on everyone." Evan said, getting off me.
"Let's go. " I said.
