John Paul

Next two days passed very quickly and I don't know if it's Jake's and Craig's merit, because of their trips around the town, or thanks to my bloody work. Anyway, it was good to see how Jake opened up a little to us and enjoyed our company. Especially I like the part when we went to the one of our the most favourite pub, and Jake started raging on the dance floor with Craig, forgetting about all world. I guess it was what's he needed. To feel alive again.

'John Paul, I get a car! Come on!' Craig calls me and points at old, red pickup with a two-door passenger cabin, parked on the pavement. Better if he's joking...

'Craig, when I said we need to rent a car, I thought about normal car and something smaller.' I say and give him knowingly look. But Craig is looking like he doesn't see any problems. He just throw his bag on the back seat and grins to me and Jake.

'Ready for a ride?' He asks us and clasps his hands, clearly proud of himself. He really likes irate me.

'I'm dying with impatience for that.' So I'm not alone. Even Jake doesn't take it with too much enthusiasm.

'Cool!' Craig shouts happily and starting packing our things on the an open-top rear cargo area. It looks like he didn't notice a sarcasm in Jake's words, and he's firmly convinced that his brother sharing with him his enthusiasm.

'Craig, leave my rucksack in the car. I have there our documents.' I say when he trying to packs everything on the rear cargo area. For once he listen me and do what I want. 'Jake where you want to seat?'

'Definitely on the back.' He replies and gives Craig his bag. 'So who will be driving a car?'

'Craig...'

'John Paul.' I frown and look surprise at my boyfriend. Does he just say, I'll be driving a car? Whoa, whoa, last night we set that Craig will be driving. So what's going on then?

'Craig?' He gulps and rubs the back of his neck. I shiver. Don't tell me, you...

'I forget driver license.' I fucking knew it! It's all Craig. He was twittering above my head for all morning what I should take, irate me as hell, but like always he forget about things which he should remember to take with himself!

'So John Paul will be drive...' Jake says unsurely as he notices my furious look. Craig smiles sheepishly and I want to hit him on the head right now.

'So we won't ride anywhere, cause I don't have a driver license too.' I say angrily and with satisfaction notice how Craig's face become pale. And what you say now, Prince?

'What?!' He shouts, staring at me with disbelieving. 'How could you not take driver license with yourself?! Jesus, John Paul. Do you think sometimes?!'

'It's you who forget his driver license, Craig!' I shout with furious, don't bother anymore about Jake and what he may thinks about us now. 'So don't fucking shout at me, cause it's you who screw up!' I can't believe he's blaming me about everything what he did wrong! What a jerk!

Jake

Craig really gets a nerve. If I was him, I won't have a courage to blame about his mistakes John Paul. Especially furious John Paul. It's like a pure suicide. Really. Maybe I wasn't be with them for a long time, but I learn few things about them and I know that the last and the worst thing you can do, is pissing off John Paul. Sometimes he scary me as well!

Suddenly our great trip turns out into nightmare and I starting wondering if I still want to go with them for a holiday. We even don't depart from the rental office and they're fighting with each other so fiercely, that I wonder if they jump to each other throats for a moment.

'You could think John Paul and take it just in case.' Says the voice of reason. And where was your just in case when we were packing? Don't blame John Paul, cause it's only your fault. For all morning you were running after all flat like a mad and ordering everybody what to take, like me and John Paul have five years or be insane.

'I couldn't, cause I don't have it anymore.' John Paul says coldly.

'How's that come?!' Craig yells. 'I saw your driver license last week.'

'I bet you saw.' John Paul says drily and I have a feeling that Craig again did something very stupid.

'So? What's happened with it?' Don't you notice what I do? I feel big troubles.

'Some jerk washed it along with my trousers and later ironing them.' John Paul replies and I notice how Craig is pale now.

'If some jerk wasn't leave it in trousers it won't happen.' He snaps and I shake my head. Someone's doesn't know when to withdraw, I see. He really has a guts to continuing this fight.

'So it's always my fault?!' I think it's the right time to chime out and calm the situation, before it'll end very bad for one of us.

'Oy, stop arguing!' I shout and gulp when both look at me with predators gleams in their eyes, making me shiver...Take it easy, Jake. It's only your brother and his boyfriend. They fighting with each other, but they won't do nothing nasty to you. They care about you, so...Yea, they kill me.

'You wanted to say something?' Craig asks me sharply.

'I have a driver license. So if you want, I can drive a car.' I offer and step back a little, not sure about their reaction.

'At least one person from us has a brain and thinking about everything.' John Paul says unfriendly to Craig, giving him cold look. 'So can we ride, Jake?' He asks me calmly and even smiles softly. It's a good sign I guess.

'Sure. Get in to the car, guys.' I reply and get into car. Surprisingly it's John Paul who sit next to me.

'Don't forget to fasten seat belts.' You really want to be hit by John Paul, aren't you?

'Oh, how good is to know we have our Nana Craig with themselves. We can feel safe now, Jake.' Maybe it won't be that calmly as I thought.

'Oh, shut up John Paul!' I depart us from the rental office and sigh with relief. Now it can't be so bad.

'I don't know this route, so you have to navigate me John Paul.' I say to him and gently smile...But I quickly stop when I notice how he bits his low lip and looks unsurely at me.

'I don't know it either.' He confirms and I feel like a panic swelling in me. Oh, God.

'But I know the half way.' Craig quickly says and I feel a little calmer.

'And what about another half?' I ask. 'Do you have a map?' I regret that I asked. Seeing how they both look at each other, I know they forgot about map too. Oh, yes. It'll be a really interesting trip. With many attractions.
