Wish You Weren't Here
Avery: Hello, we are about to hit the highway with Kick, Kendall, and their friends, and a mystery guest. By the way if you see this ()()()it means there is a skip in time or a play list. Enjoy!
The next day Moxie rang my doorbell at seven in the morning, I knew it was her before I even opened the door because I could hear the music she was playing on her iPod through the door. When I opened the door she was there, clutching the handle of her red suitcase that matched the vibrant red hair dye on the tips of her curly raven locks. Her electric guitar case was slung like a backpack over her left shoulder, she looked like she was a rock star ready to go on tour. Even her clothes fit her rock star attitude, lace leggings underneath her acid washed short shorts, her V neck shirt was a bright pink-ish red colour and fitted to her body. Stuff I would never even think of putting on my body.
"Moxie, we're not leaving for three hours" I whined, still half asleep "What are you doing here so early?"
"I'm always early, plus I figured you might need help loading everything into the car" Moxie replied "I brought play lists"
She waved her iPod touch at me, it was so old that the screen was cracked and the stick on cover was peeling off. She wore a large grin that almost stretched to her light violet eyes, lined with eyeliner and mascara.
"Alright" I finally said
"Yay" She exclaimed
"But your in charge of snacks" I told her
"Aw" She sighed in disapointment "I still get to be in charge of tunes right?"
I looked at her face, sort of a puppy dog pout. I expected Kick to be our road trip Dj but I guess they could take turns.
"Yes, you can have your tunes" I told her

By the time ten o'clock had rolled around everyone else had arrived at my house, all lined up with their suitcases, bags of electronics, games, movies, drinks, and snacks, lots and lots of snacks. It took us twenty minutes to load all of our stuff into the car but soon enough we were on the road towards Concord, New Hampshire, the time was passed playing a game of twenty questions.
"Is it a person?" Fiona asked, looking up from her copy of Divergent
"Yes, eighteen" Mouth replied
"Is it a boy?" Gunther asked
"Yes" Mouth replied "Seventeen"
"Is he famous?" I asked
"Very" Mouth stated "That's sixteen"
"Does anyone else hear that?" Christina asked from the back seat
"Hear what?" Kick asked from the driver's seat
"You know that counts" Mouth told us "Fourteen"
"Can you give us a hint?" Ronaldo asked
"Fine, I have something in common with him" Mouth replied "Thirteen"
"I just feel like someone's breathing on my neck" Christina said "And I don't think that trunks can breath"
"It's probably in your head," I told her "when your in a small space, like a car, for a certain amount of time you will feel that way"
"Yeah, its probably just me" Christina said, but I could tell by her face that she was still unsure.
"Is he alive?" I asked Mouth
"Nope, twelve" Mouth replied

"Christopher Columbus? Really?" I asked after we had lost our game
"Yup, I told you we had something in common" Mouth replied
"Indeed you do, Christopher" Christina said

After six hours of driving and nine games of I spy we finally arrived in Concord, New Hampshire. We were all in dire need of food, a stretch, and a rest. Kick pulled off the highway on the first exit we came across. Concord was such a lovely little town, the buildings looked old and rustic, trees lined all the roads, and the people walking around smiled as if there were no strangers in the world. Kick pulled into a diner parking lot and we all filed out of the car and towards the diner when Moxie turned around.
"Wait" She said "My wallet is in the trunk of the car, I'll meet you guys inside"
Moxie walked back to the car and we continued to walk towards the door, we didn't turn around until we heard Moxie let out a loud, high pitched, scream.
"What happened?" Gunther yelled as we all ran towards her
We stared into the trunk and gasped. How could this have happened without me even noticing? I should have listened to Christina when she was talking about something in the trunk because there was something, someone actually. Her piercing green eyes stared right at me and all I could think was how? How did this even happen? I never saw her sneak in and she didn't make a sound the entire drive. She quickly sat up and stepped out of the trunk of the car, and looked strait at me.
"Hello Kendall" She said, as if my name were a curse
I didn't know what to say, so I took a deep breath and said
"Hello to you too, Jackie"
Avery: Okay, I just had to put in Jackie, cuz with her here you know that this is going to be interesting. Oh and guess what today's date is? it's the ninth of October that means I've been in KB fandom for a year and I actually joined on my birthday so today I am a full year older. But that's not important, what's important is the amazing writers and readers here on KB fandom that I have befriended over the last year, you know who you are, and I just want to say thank you guys you are so supportive and nice :) Avery out!
