Zander and I have been in the car for about fifteen minutes and it's been quiet. I turn on the radio and Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen was on. We started laughing because at the beginning of the movie 'Wayne's World' all the characters were jamming out to this song, so Zander and I decided to copy them.
We sang along at the top of our lungs, "Mamaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooooooohhhh DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY if I'm not back again this time tommorrrowoowwoowwowow!" we laughed and took turns singing lines.
"Goodbye everybody, I've got to go!" I yelled
"Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth!" Zander continue. We continued to rock out and lost our breath so we decided to lip synch. For the next six minutes we surprised ourselves by knowing all the lyrics to the song.
At the end of the song we were out of breath and still laughing. We came to a stop light and I switched the station. It was 'A thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton. Another funny song because we watched the movie 'White Chicks' where they jam out to this song. I knew all the lyrics but Zander didn't really know much of the song other than the chorus. So I dramatically serenaded him.
"Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you…. TONIGHT" We sang the chorus "lovingly" looking into each other's eyes. Music was really the foundation of our relationship. I would be so lost without Gravity 5, what about Zander? He was the new kid, without the band, he could have joined any group. For all we know he'd be dating Molly if it weren't for us!
"Hey, there's a Taco Bell! Can we get some?" I asked pointing at the fast "food" restaurant. Zander looked skeptical, so I pouted like a puppy.
"Uhhhhh fine! I'm not ordering anything though, that place is disgusting!" He said looking kinda disgusted.
I ordered some kind of burrito; I forget what it was called. "OH GOD this is delicious, you have to try it!" I said carefully holding the burrito to his face so no food would fall out.
"Ew, no. You can eat your filth but try not to get it on the seats, they're leather." He said pushing the food away.
About thirty minutes later I felt my stomach twist. "Zander, you were right!" I say with a groggy voice.
"What?" He said looking concerned.
"Just… Pull over…" My whole body felt hot and I rolled down the window to cool down. Zander pulled over and even though the car hadn't come to a complete stop I hopped out and puked in a bush. He got out and helped me back to the car.
"Stevie, are you ok?" He asked rubbing my leg.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I can't really hold Taco Bell down." I said letting out a single laugh and continued to fan myself.
"Good. So since you are ok now I just wanted to tell you 'I told you so'" He paused to dig around in the glove compartment and handed me a stick of gum, "It's super minty, I'll stop at the next rest-stop and you can get some mouthwash."
"Hey!" I said slapping him, that mint really gave me a jolt. God my sinuses are really feeling this mint.
"What? Do you want your barf to eat away at your teeth? I wouldn't!" He said playfully. I punched him in the arm not-so-playfully.
"Ha ha," I said sarcastically. "You're picking the next food place."
"No fast food!" He wagged his finger at me.
"Fine," I said then he turned into a rest stop.
Rest stops are really weird because they really cram a lot of food into a small area so people can feed any craving they have on their long journeys. I grabbed some mouthwash and Zander set out for some food. I rinsed my mouth a few times and then watered it down so that my mouth didn't burn and I didn't have to wait a half hour before I ate again. I just puked, my stomach is now empty making me hungry. I spotted Zander with a mountain of food and helped him carry it to the register.
"Breath check." He commanded and I breathed onto his face. "Minty." He said winking at me and I smiled.
"That was the goal." I said and carried a few bags to the car. We strapped ourselves in and hit the road again.
I thought that was a good place to end since both chapters ended with "hit the road" so yeah. I'm actually really confident in this story now and it's going to be a multi chap. I WILL NOT abandon this because I have it planned out in my mind so I hope to finish this within the next few chapters and I won't drag it into the pit that I usually do with my multichaps. So REVIEW even if you reviewed before! I love you guys so much and it really gives me confidence in my writing when I'm getting over ten reviews a chapter so keep it up if you want me to update again soon!
