AN: Thanks to those that reviewed. Now that I look back over it there are several mistakes, sorry I get like that when I write. I'll try to get that under control!! Well heres another chapter, I know it's soon but I dont have anything else to do today. So I hope you enjoy!!
"Max!! That's a stop sign, it means stop!!" Fang shouted from next to me slightly panicky.
"Oh right, I knew that," I said and slammed on the brakes.
"MAAAX!! What was that for??" Angel shouted.
"Sorry, Sorry, I'm still getting used to this."
As you probably guess, we had hot wired a car, and I'm sure we all felt horrible about it. I was currently trying to drive the huge monstrosity around town; I figured I should get some practice before I get on the highway or anything. So that's where we are right now, and apparently I'm not doing so good of a job, shocker.
"Well at least try not to kill us," Iggy shouted from the back seat.
"I'd like to see you try to drive a mini van. I wanted to get the smaller more manageable car but no… you guys needed more room," I muttered and I saw Fang smirk from next to me.
"I said I wanted to drive but you wouldn't let me," Iggy defended.
"You are blind!! Of course I wasn't going to let a blind kid drive," I shouted. Relax; take a deep breath, in and out.
"Make a left turn and use your blinker this time, you almost killed us last time," Fang said and I glared at the road.
"Okay no more backseat driving from anyone. If you got anything to say you can just walk," I said and it got quiet. That's what I thought!!
It was quiet for about twenty minutes. I was doing well, no accidents and I only slammed the breaks about six times, that's an improvement. Everything was going well and I had relaxed a bit, until the fighting started.
"Iggy move I want to lie down," Nudge yelled.
"I don't have any where to move to, Angels taking two seats for her self and the dog," Iggy defended.
"The names Total, I'm not 'the dog'," Total pointed out.
"I want to watch a movie why didn't we get the one with the DVD player," Gazzy pouted.
"I told Max to get the one with the DVD player, I even used bambi eyes but she wouldn't let us," Angel said.
"Well what do we do know?? There's nothing to do in this car. I feel claustrophobic. Maybe if we roll down a window, Max can you roll down a window," Nudge asked.
"I'll try," and I started pushing buttons. One of then turned the windshield wiper on and another turned the blinker on, oh that's how you get on. One of them honked the horn, one unlocked the doors.
"Max watch the road," Fang shouted and I looked up. I swerved trying to get out of the way of the truck.
"Open the window, its too hot," Gazzy said.
"Turn the music on," Iggy demanded.
"Max scoot your chair up, my leg are being squished," Nudge ordered.
"Max can you pass me a snack I'm getting hungry," Angel asked.
"Max we need to stop at a park, my doggy bladder is full," Total insisted.
"Oh yeah now that I think about it, I need to go to the bathroom too, Max can we make a pit stop," Nudge asked.
"Seriously the window I need fresh air," Iggy insisted.
"Max make a right at this exit," Fang stated. THAT IS IT!
"ENOUGH!!" I yelled and pulled over on the side of the road. I turned to I was facing everyone. "That is enough!! I am driving I need to be able to focus on the road so I don't kill us all. I can not be pushing buttons and passing things back and opening windows and scooting the chair. You need to wait at least an hour before you go all crazy on me!! I don't know how to work this car, so I can't get everything done!! Dog go pee out there," I said and opened a door. "Now Fang is the only that is allowed to talk for the next hour."
I heard several groans but no smart come backs. I think they understood just how crazy they were making me. I rolled down a window, and turned on some music. I let the radio play and I turned back to the weirdo's in the back.
"Get comfortable now 'cause were not stopping for at least an hour," I stated and turned back and started the car.
"Alright," Fang said. "Lets pull over at this exit, they have a Mc Donald's that we can eat at."
"Yes!" Nudge said. "This means we can talk again right. That was hard we didn't talk for about an hour and a half, that's a long time. I really have to take a potty break and I'm really hungry, thank god were stopping. Its getting really cramped back here and it's really boring. At least now we can walk around. I feel bad for everyone else. This is their only means of transportation, sitting in this crowed place. Thank God we can fly; I think I'd kill myself if I had to do this all the time…"
"Nudge I think we get the point," Iggy said sort of nicely.
"Oh right sorry."
"Okay were here, go potty, sit, eat but we leave in twenty," I said and they all piled out of the car. I ran over to help Fang because it seems he also broke a leg, something that Iggy didn't really pick up last night. Being the homeless orphans we are, we don't really have crutches to use. So I was acting as Fangs crutch.
"What do you want?" I asked as I put Fang down at a table.
"I'm fine I can sure as hell order for myself," He said clearly angry, I think he's just hungry.
"Stop being an ass and tell me what you want," I ordered and he glared. I just smirked.
"I want three cheeseburgers, two fries and a soda… oh and three pie things," he told me and turned back to watch the kids, who were up looking at the menu.
"I'll be back," I said turning around and walking to the counter.
"Guys do you know what you want?" I asked them and they smiled.
"Can I get two Big Macs and about three fries and a salad with ranch dressing," Gazzy ordered.
"Uh is that all for you?" the cashier asked with a surprised look.
"Duh," Gazzy said stepping aside to let his sister go up. It went like this for a while and the more of us that ordered the more the cashiers surprise escalated.
It took about fifteen minutes for the food to come out and soon we were all sitting scarfing down food like there was no tomorrow. We continued to get strange looks from those around us but w ignored them, well as much as possible. Within ten minutes we were all fed and happy. And it only took about thirty minutes, that's a record.
"Do we really have to get back in there?" Angel asked just staring at the metal contraption humans call cars.
"Blame Fang, if didn't have to play super hero we would all be flying right now," I stated. I help the boy previously mentioned get into the car and after several sever glares from him he was ready to go. The kids piled in and sorted out seating arrangements. After some yelling, punching and kicking we were on the road again ready to get as far away from here as possible.
"Max it could just be me being paranoid, but it seems like that car has been following us for a little while," Nudge said and I was sort of proud in a weird way.
I looked in the little mirror, and sure enough there was a black car right behind us.
"Let's get off at this exit to see if he follows, if he does we've got some problems," Fang said next to me. Everyone in the car had gotten quiet probably praying that this wasn't what we thought it was. No such luck as soon as we pulled off the highway the black car did the same.
"Shit!" I exclaimed to myself. They were from the school I knew it. I looked passed them and saw two other cars making a turn at the exit as well. I mean if you were going to chase us why would you come in a black car. There is nothing more obvious than a black shinny car. This was just not my week!!
"Alright," I'm going to try and lose them, Gazzy and Iggy do you have any bombs we could throw if worse comes to worse?" I asked.
"Yes but not many, we used most of them yesterday," Iggy answered immediately.
"Alright don't throw until I tell you," I ordered the two pyros.
"Fang where exactly are we," I asked him.
"Were somewhere in Georgia," he told me, and I smiled.
"So were in the middle of no where. That means we won't hurt innocent bystanders and no one will get in the way," I said.
"It also means that if one of us is hurt it's a long way to help," Nudge said from behind me. I looked in the mirror and saw something black through the windshield of the car behind us.
"Get down! I want you to stay on the floor of the car, Gazzy, Iggy I'm going to slow down and I want you to hit them when we get close enough," I ordered and in seconds everyone was on the ground.
"How are we going to get it through the windshield," Gazzy asked.
"They've got guns," I whispered, and soon there were bullets flying through the car. I slowed down the car hoping that I was doing the right thing and before long there was an explosion behind me and a car turned on its side. The other two cars were driving next to ach other and I stepped on the gas. We were soon going about sixty on the dirt road, probably not a smart idea but whatever.
More bullets were making their way into the car and the kids were pushed as hard against the floor as they could. Fang and I were kind of stuck where we were and just hoped we wouldn't get hit. I hear another sharp explosion and another one of the cars was left on the side of the road in pieces, nice job boys!!
"Max, we don't have any left," Iggy shouted and panic ran through me.
Relax, there's a plan! There's always a plan!! I told my self over and over again.
The bullets stopped flying for a second and I figured they were reloading. It also looked like they were going to call back up and knowing the school they would be here soon. Shit!! I thought to myself, if they call back up it means more cars, more people and more guns with more bullets. I open the two doors on the side of the car and slowed down.
"Everyone out," I yelled and there was a brief amount of hesitation. "NOW!!"
Soon the kids were flying out of the car, I know not exactly safe but they would be okay. I turned to look at Fang to see a look of determination written all over his face.
"Out now," I ordered and he just smirked. "Come one Fang they're almost here, get out of the damn car."
"Not without you," he stated simply.
"I'll be out in a second, I need you to get out of the car now or help me God. Just do it," I yelled back and he looked at me for a second before opening the door and jumping out. I saw him try to avoid landing on his leg or his back… that's going to hurt later.
I stepped on the gas to get ahead for a second and came to a stop. I then put the gear into reverse and shot at the car going backwards. I waited a second and soon there was a hit. I was jerked forward and my head hit the headboard soon everything went black.
