Jake

I woke up to the sound of water running. It sounded like someone was in the shower. Someone threw covers over me last night. I climbed out of bed and headed down to the lobby and got a bowl of cereal for me and Erica. When I got back up to the room I opened the door and walked in right as Erica dropped her towel to put her clothes on. She turned around, her face was as red as a tomato. I turned around and walked back out of the room shutting the door behind me. Well now I see why every boy in high school wanted her. She opened the door when she was dressed. Benny would be so jealous of me right now if I told him I saw Erica naked. I walked in and set the cereal down on the table.

A few minutes later we were eating in silence. When I finished I grabbed my bag of clothes and headed into the bathroom. When I got out, I got dressed, brushed my teeth and walked out of the bathroom. We headed down to the lobby and checked out of the room. When we finished packing up we got back on the road. Erica broke the silence between us.

"So when you walked in what did you see" she asked me.

"I saw you" I replied.

"Did you like it" she asked me.

"Where are you getting at" I asked her, sounding annoyed.

"Trying to see how far you'll go before you crack under pressure" she answered.

"Let's just forget it every happened and focus on the trip to California" I said.

"Sounds good to me" she replied.

The rest of the car ride was silent. A few hours passed, I pulled into the gas station.

"Do you want anything while I'm out" I asked her.

"No, I'm going to the bathroom" she said, climbing out and heading into the station.

I stayed and filled the car up with gas. A few minutes later Erica walked out with a pair of sunglasses. Great now we only got 500 bucks left in cash. Though I could get more from the bank but that's for the apartment.

"Erica you can't just go spending our money like that" I said, climbing back into the car.

"You did last night on that hotel room" she retorted.

"Yea but that was for us, besides this is my money we're spending" I replied.

"Calm down dork, let's just get back on the road" she said, sounding pissed off.

"Whatever" I said out loud.

Hours passed. The clock read 7:25pm. Erica was sleeping in the passenger seat. I leaned back and grabbed a bag of chips form the backseat.

I ate most of the bag. The road was getting blurry. I could hardly keep my eyes open. When I opened them we were heading straight towards RV who was honking its horn. Quickly I swerved back on the right side of the road. A minute later a officer pulled us over to the side of the road. Erica woke up and saw what was happening.

"Good job dork" she said.

"Erica shut-up and get the registration papers out of the glove box" I replied.

The officer came up and taped on the window. I rolled it down for him.

"License and registration" he said.

I handed him my license and registration. He looked it over and handed it back to me.

"Where are you guys headed" he asked us.

"Hollywood, California" I answered.

"Well your only about maybe 18 hours from it now" he said.

"Listen, I'm gonna let you off with a warning, you look tired, go get a hotel and pull in for the night" he said, walking away.
We waited a minute until he left.

"You see what happens when you fall asleep" she said, angrily.

"Yea, it would help if somebody else was driving BESIDES ME" I shouted to her.

She got out of the car and started walking away.

"Erica where are you going" I shouted.

"Away from you" she said, sounding hurt.

"Wait, come back I'm sorry" I yelled, running up to her.

"I'm sorry, Erica I'm just tired I haven't slept in lately, you drive" I said.

"Fine, get some sleep though" she replied, heading back to the car with me.

I climbed into the passenger seat and fell asleep. It felt like only a few second when Erica started shaking me awake.

"What is it" I asked her, not opening my eyes.

"Hey we're only 3 hours away, I've been drinking energy drinks most of the night" she said.

"I'll drive" I replied, climbing out of the passenger seat and heading into the driver one.

After a few hours of driving we finally made it to Hollywood.

2 weeks later

Erica

I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. Jake was still sleeping on the couch. Our friendship hasn't really changed in the past two weeks. Our apartment is nice, a flat screen TV, besides one bedroom and one bathroom it's alright. Jake sleeps on the couch, sometimes we switch. He's been working a lot lately and hasn't really had time to focus on his acting career. I've been writing songs, I'm hoping to get noticed here. At night when he sleeps, I still get his blood. These past two weeks though, I've been feeling strange around him, like nervous and my stomach feels like it's doing flips. I wonder if he feels this way when he's around me.
