Chapter Two

"Paige, do you have any lip balm?" Vickie asked.

"Oh, yeah. One sec, it should be here somewhere." She said, rummaging around in her purse. Finally noticing it, she grabbed it. "Ahah!" She handed it to Vickie.

Vickie applied some lip balm, handing it back over to Paige. She too applied some to her lips, but when going over a little bump in the road, she dropped it.

"Damn it." She cursed. Reaching down and trying to find it. Vickie looked over and down at Blake's feet, noticing the tiny lip balm.

"Look, there it is." Vickie pointed out.

"Where?" Paige called, oblivious as to where Vickie was pointing.

"Here, I'll get it." She said. Paige pulled her head up as Vickie leant her head forwards and down to try and grab the lip balm. "Shit!" She cursed as it rolled a little further away. She moved closer and finally grabbed it. Grinning as she came back up. But the grin was wiped off her face when she noticed Wade's car beside Blake's. Everyone was laughing in Wade's car, Dalton was even wolf whistling. Nick on the other hand looked annoyed at Dalton. He pulled up his hood forcefully and sat back.

Paige slapped Blake's arm from not telling them the other car was beside them.

"They so did not think that I was blowing him. That's just completely stupid." Vickie complained, rolling her eyes.

"Obviously they did." Paige said, she stopped once Carly picked up. "Lips balm, I dropped my stupid lip balm." Paige went silent for a while. "She went down to get it, I couldn't reach it." They obviously didn't believe her. "Plus, Vick is with Nick. I doubt she'd be blowing anybody when she's already with him."

Vickie gave her a pointed look. "Exactly."

Paige went silent as Carly started speaking. Vickie looked over at the other car and locked eyes with Nick. She smiled and blew a kiss in his direction. Nick smiled from under his hood.

She noticed Dalton pretending to catch something with the hand he wasn't using to record the car with and rolled her eyes. She was blowing a kiss at Nick, not Dalton. Nick also noticed and hit Dalton's shoulder hard.

She smiled and heard Paige replying to whatever Carly was saying. "I don't know, it's getting late. What do you wanna do?" She asked, turning to Blake.

"Keep going, we don't even have tickets." He argued.

"Babe, there is going to be a million scalpers there. Besides if we keep driving there, there is no way I am staying up for this game."

"Ditto!" Vickie called out, seconding Paige's decision.

Paige listened to Carly on the phone. "Yeah, let's just pull over here, come on. We'll wake up early."

"Yeah, alright." Blake reluctantly said.

"Alright, we're pulling over." Paige said into the phone, before hanging up.

Blake waved at the other car and beeped the horn, moving the car in front of theirs.

"Don't worry, baby, this'll be fun!" Paige said, trying to cheer up Blake.

"Yeah, alright, I guess so." He replied. Paige smiled and continued talking to him.

Vickie let her body fall against the back seat and tuned out Paige and Blake's conversation. She almost started to snooze of when she heard Paige say. "Where are we going, Blake?"

Looking out the window Vickie noticed they were crossing over a small bridge. "I'm just looking for some privacy." Blake replied back.

"Dude, you sure this isn't restricted privacy?" Vickie asked, wondering if someone owned the land.

Blake shook his head as he started to slow down the car. "Nope, no gate."

Vickie chewed her lip as he stopped the car. "A gate doesn't entirely mean private property." She pointed out.

Before getting out the car, Blake turned in his seat and shook his head at her, smiling.

Everyone got out the car's, looking around. Nick and Dalton however, were making a big show about stretching, obviously about the fact that there wasn't enough space in Wade's car.

Vickie skipped over to Nick and was about to kiss him when Carly grabbed her arm, dragging her towards Paige.

"Hey!" Nick shouted, annoyed he didn't get his kiss. Vickie pouted in his direction, teasingly.

Carly nudged Paige's arm. "Paige, come with us, we'll grab the stuff." Carly said, ignoring Nick's shout.

Vickie sighed and obediently went with the other two girls, knowing why Carly dragged Paige away from the boys.

"Well?" Carly demanded, glancing at Paige.

Vickie shook her head and looked at Carly. "She didn't do it. I know I was with them and all, but I took a nap!" Paige went to open her mouth but Vickie quickly cut in. "And I knew you hadn't talked to him at all because it would've been a little tenser between you two."

"I just couldn't, there is no point in freaking him out right now." Paige defended.

Carly sighed. "As opposed to when you find out you are pregnant?"

They got to the hood of the car and leaned on it, continuing their talk.

"Mmm, it would be better to talk to him now rather than wait till you get fat." Vickie said, chewing her lip and drawing circles on the car with her finger.

Carly smiled a little while Paige shook her head. "Look, I'm not sure, okay?"

"I just think you should have a conversation with him."

Paige sighed and looked away, before facing the girls again. "He's been looking forward to this stupid football game for months and I don't wanna ruin it for him by starting a fight."

Carly rolled her eyes. "Paige, he's not going to marry you. His parents won't let him."

Vickie raised her eyebrows. "Ooh, that's a little harsh." She said, scrunching up her face.

Paige smiled a little. "Who says I want to get married?" Carly went to speak but Paige kept talking. "Besides I've been late before, when I know for sure I promise to talk to him." Paige looked at Vickie and Carly. "Okay?"

Carly nodded and Vickie smiled, replying. "Fine with me."

Paige nodded and smiled, satisfied "Let's go."

The girls settled down on a large blanket, watching as the rest of the boys started unpacking the stuff from the cars.

"Yeah, don't help us or nothing!" Dalton shouted out to Nick, carrying bags.

Nick had decided to set up a chair a little way from the rest of the group. He sat down next to his beers and lit up a cigarette, leaning back casually as he watched the rest of the boys finish unpacking.

They spent the next half hour unloading all the stuff and setting up the tents. There were three tents, one for Wade and Carly, one for Blake and Paige, and then Dalton shared one with Nick and Vickie.

Vickie, Paige and Carly were still sat on the blanket, chatting away, while Blake brought out a football from his bag and started to play a game with Dalton and Wade.

"Pass it! Pass it!" Wade held his hands up and Blake threw the ball to him. He got ready to throw it back to Blake while Dalton ran in front of Blake, hoping to catch it instead of him. Wade threw the ball and Blake jumped, catching it.

"You don't wanna..." Blake shouted, trying to dodge Dalton's attempts to get the ball back. "Too slow, too slow!"

They fumbled about a bit more until Wade broke away from them, raising his hands. Blake threw the ball over Wade's head, who shouted "Touchdown!"

Wade's head followed the ball and he trailed off a little as he noticed it had rolled against Nick's feet.

Holding his hand out, he expected Nick to pick the ball up and pass it to him. However, Nick just sat there, smoking from his cigarette, before throwing it down next to the ball.

Wade started slowly walking towards Nick, ready to pick up the ball. Carly and Vickie watched carefully, hoping Nick wouldn't do anything stupid. Right as Wade got beside the ball, Nick dropped his beer bottle, picked up the ball and threw it hard towards Blake, hitting him harshly in the chest.

Nick stared at Wade for a second before walking back to his chair.

"Nice arm. I can see why they gave you a scholarship." Wade commented, nodding lightly.

Nick scoffed and picked up the bottled he dropped. "Yeah, it's a real tragedy, ain't it?"

"Yeah, it is." Wade said, stepping closer to Nick.

Vickie sighed, sensing a fight. She nudged Carly, who quickly stood up and rushed over to them. Carly stood in front of Wade, her back to Nick. "Wade... help Dalton, okay?" She rolled her eyes when he didn't move. "Please?"

"Bye Wade!" Nick waved his hand before mumbling "Asshole."

Carly frowned and shook her head, turning round to face him. "You know what, you can be a prick to me, that's fine. But he didn't do anything to you."

"So you admit that you did something."

"I admit, according to you, I did something, sure."

"You dimed me out." He accused.

"I did not dime you out." She defended. "When the sheriffs came to the house and asked me where you got the car, I said I didn't know. I didn't even know it was stolen. And you're blaming that on me?"

"You could have covered for me, huh?" He asked, raising his voice.

This caught Vickie's attention. She tuned Paige's rambling out and tried to focus on what they were saying.

Carly sighed and shook her head. "You get caught stealing, and it's my fault. You're resisting arrest, and it's the cop's fault."

Nick chuckled. "He took a swing at me, you know."

She shook her head again, fed up. "Look, you get kicked off the football team, it's the coach's fault. Mom and Dad kick you out of the house, it's their fault."

He started chuckling again, raising his fist to his head.

She continued. "You can't even keep a job for two weeks, because it's every manager's fault."

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Nick shrugged.

"So why did you come?" She asked. "To piss me off?"

He was about to take a sip of his drink but stopped. "Don't you get it?" He asked. He pointed to her. "You're the good twin." He chucked his bottled to the ground. "And I'm the evil one."

She just looked at him. "Grow up. You are so afraid to take things seriously."

Nick nodded, not amused. "Oh, yeah. As afraid as Wade is of leaving good old Gainesville?" He asked, putting on a hillbilly accent. "New York City. Well, I hear they got buildings as tall as the sky."

Vickie stood as she narrowed her eyes at Nick. He promised to be good.

Carly nodded, hurt by his comment. "Okay." She said, and walked away towards Vickie and Paige.

Nick watched her walk away, regretting what he said. He sighed a little and forcefully pulled up his hood.

Before Carly could sit down, Vickie pulled her into a tight hug. "I am so sorry. You know he's just an arse, right?" Carly nodded into her shoulder and Vickie sighed. "I can't believe him! He's such an… an… arse!" She growled, making Carly laugh.

Carly pulled away and patted her shoulder. "It's fine, we'll be fine…" She said, not believing her own words.

Vickie sighed and nodded, unwillingly. "I'm gonna go see him…" She paused, a small smile coming to her face. "And maybe I'll kick his annoying, but ever so delicious ass!"

Carly frowned and made a sick face. "God, Vick, too much information! That's my brother." She laughed.

Vickie laughed too and nodded. "Yeah, he is. But it made you laugh." She pointed out.

"Yeah, alright, I guess it did." Carly said, nodding.

They smiled each other and Carly sat down next to Paige, starting a new conversation.

Vickie, however, marched over to Nick who had sat down again. "You prick!" She spat, kicking his leg.

"Ow, baby, what the hell?" Nick asked, grabbing his throbbing leg. He looked up at her and saw she wasn't messing around. He sighed. "Look, baby, I'm sorry… I didn't even mean it, she just got me pissed off, you know. I mean, it wasn't even me anyways, you know the story."

Vickie scoffed and shook her head. "Yeah, I know the story. But she sure as hell doesn't! And who's problem is that?" She asked, both of them trying to keep their voices down. "Yours!"

"Look, please… I'm sorry, okay? I'll make it up to her, I'll apologize…" He said. He reached his hand out and grabbed her hand, pulling her into his lap. She let him, but ignored him otherwise. He sighed and pressed his face into her neck. "I'll tell her everything…"

This got her attention.

She turned her head to look at him. "You mean it?" She asked softly. "You'll tell her the truth?"

Nick sighed again. "Dalton's going to be pissed."

Vickie smiled slightly. "Screw him. I'll deal with him if it comes to it."

He chuckled, kissing her cheek. "I don't doubt that. My angry little vixen." He pulled her more into him, cuddling her to his side.

She hummed in content. "I love you."

He smiled in return, kissing the tip of her nose. "I love you, too. You're my everything."

She smiled and snuggled into him more, shivering when a gust of wind went past.

Blake stopped playing football, a disgusted look on his face. "Woah! What's that smell?" He asked.

Vickie frowned. "What smell?" She asked. Then it hit her. "Oh! Oh my god!" She coughed, almost choking on the smell. She buried her nose into Nick's hoodie and he buried his into her hair.

"That's bad." Paige mumbled, raising a hand to cover her nose.

Nick wrapped his arms around Vickie. "Dalton, did you crap your pants again?"

Vickie smiled a little and turned to see Dalton start sniffing himself. "No. I don't know. Maybe." He said, continuing to sniff his clothes. "I mean, I'm wearing my work clothes, so..."

Wade and Carly walked forwards to the woods. Wade checked the trees with his flashlight. "Woah, it's horrible." Carly said, grimacing.

"Something's dead out there." Wade commented, staring out into the woods.

Blake shook his head. "No, something's dead right here. And we need to drink it back to life."

He turned to Nick. "Bless me, dog!" He held out his hand for a beer, which Nick threw at him.

Dalton chuckled, and shook his head, bringing out his camera.

"Well… let's get this party started!" Vickie shouted, earning herself some whoops.

"Gonna be a crazy night." Nick commented, kissing her neck.
