In the car, James was playing music from his iPod through the stereo. Corroded's '6 Ft of Anger' was playing. Stuck on the motorway, James drumming along on the steering wheel and Lilly humming. Lilly turned and picked up the iPod and pulled up the password on the lock screen.
"I see you've put the password back on" Lilly laughed
"Yep, course" James grinned
"Let me guess" Lilly pressed the numbers "One. Nine. Nine. Six." The iPod unlocked "so predictable" Lilly smiled.
"Well I only have three passwords it could be or I'd forget them." He laughed
"Yeah, well…" Lilly went quiet as she looked at the screen "it just means I can do this." She laughed as she changed the song. Young by Hollywood Undead blasted thought the speakers. "We are young, but we have heart, born in this world as it all falls apart!"
"We are strong, but we don't belong, born in this world as it all falls apart!" James sung the next line
Lilly smiled, "I see I've finally got you into Hollywood Undead then."
James nodded. "Hey can I have my iPod a min, I have a song I want to show you. I found it a while ago."
Lilly handed him the iPod with a sigh. James scrolled through the playlists and found the song he was after. "Best thing 'bout tonight is that we're not fighting, could it be that we have been this way before. I know you don't think that I am trying, I know you're wearing thin down to the core." James sung along. "But hold your breath because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again. Don't make me change my mind. I won't live to see another day. I swear it's true because a girl like u is impossible to find. You're impossible to find."
Lilly looked at James with a smile spread on her face as James looked over at Lilly and put his iPod back between them and smiled a little shy smile.
The traffic started moving again so James looked back at the road and concentrated. They both left the iPod on shuffle, singing or humming along to the songs they knew. They were about five minutes away from their home-away-from-home when Owlcity began playing. Lilly couldn't help but smile knowingly at James, "you've had this since I told you one of my fave songs was by them, haven't you?"
James nodded shyly and smiles "I kinda got into them" then quickly added "so I wouldn't have to suffer anymore."
Lilly punched James in the arm lightly and laughed "hey, shut up! I know you love them really."
James stopped the car outside their temporary home and smiled. He got out swiftly and jogged round to Lilly's side and opened her door and Lilly climbed out and shut her own door as James got their cases out the back of the car. He carried them all to the door and as James fiddled with the key in the lock Lilly was in the process of picking her cases up but James bent down to grab all three cases but took her hands instead. James let go of her hands and turned to her and gave a half, crooked smile and said "you okay?"
"Mhmm" was all Lilly could reply with "I can take my own cases though"
"Yeah I know but I'm trying to be helpful."
"Well I don't need it" Lilly pushed his chest lightly and he turned back to the door and pushed it open and took all three cases in with him before she could protest again. Lilly followed him in and wandered into the living room after closing the door and she burst out laughing. James came to lean in the doorframe with his arms folded over his chest, after setting the cases down at the bottom of the stairs, and smiled "and what's so funny you had to make me jump?" James teased.
Lilly picked up a small piece of paper and handed it to James, "you remember this?" she giggled. On the piece of paper in James' hand was a note that was scrawled in scruffy illegible writing. James smirked then laughed "yeah, I remember. It wasn't my fault though, so don't blame me, blame Liam and Matt. They started it."
Lilly laughed and turned her back on James and walked further back into the room "I will when they finally show their faces." She laughed.
