hail the king.

"No, I don't like you because you're a prick and you think you know everything," Effie snapped. "You think you're so goddamn special because girls like your dick. Well, that's probably the only thing you have going for you at this point." She shoved him back some, glaring up at him before she shoved him again. It felt good to shove him. She didn't know why. She felt like it was letting off some steam every time she shoved him. She shoved him once again and did it so hard that he fell onto his back. She dropped to her knees over him and started hitting his chest over and over.

Jimmy rolled his eyes. "No thank you!" he called back after her. If she wanted to be a sarcastic bitch, then he could be a sarcastic bitch too. Except the bitch part. He wasn't a bitch. He wasn't anyone's bitch. He rubbed his face and sat down on the ground, leaning against Matt's car as he sipped on a beer, wondering where they actually were and if there was any salvation around here.

@ kaleidoscopes.
Brian just let the girl shove him. The pushing didn't bother him, but her words did. He would never let her see how much it ever effected him. She did not need to know. The moment he fell back onto the ground, he let out a loud groan but still let her hit him until he had enough. She wasn't going to stop unless he made her. "For fuck sakes Effie," he snapped as he grabbed onto his wrists tightly. He pushed her light body off him onto the ground beside him before quickly hovering above her and pinning her wrists to the ground. "If you hate me so fucking much like you love to tell me then why the fuck am I the person you always drag around? Why the fuck did you drag me off from the group and not go with someone you actually fucking like?" He asked, growling out his words. A smirk soon found his way onto his face as he continued to hold her on the ground. "Admit it, you fucking love to be around me Effie otherwise you wouldn't spend so much time alone with me." Brian finally let go of her and pushed himself up from the ground, moving away from her quickly just in case she wanted to kick him in the balls or something.

Vicky took a long swig of her Jack, but soon quickly stopped the moment she heard his voice again. He was being a sarcastic fucking prick and it was really getting to her. He was never like this, not towards her anyway and it was beginning to hurt more and more. She spun on her heels and pointed her finger at Jimmy. "No, seriously, fuck you James. I am so fucking done right with your shit right now Jimmy. You have been such an inconsiderate jerkoff these past few weeks, I am so fucking done," she stated, putting her hands up in the hair to dramatize the whole fucking situation. She just wanted to hurt Jimmy. She stormed off further down the road, passing Brian and Effie without a single care what the fuck they were arguing over. If no one was going to fucking look for a town, then she would. She needed to get away before she said anything else to completely ruin the rest of their trip.

Effie pulled herself up and glared at him. "I don't have to explain myself to you," she hissed. She shoved past him and continued walking, shaking her head. She hated Brian with a passion, and she really wanted to just take his words and shove them so far up his ass he could taste them. She crossed her arms over her chest, sighing softly. She didn't know why she always dragged Brian around with her. He just happened to be the one that was right next to her at the wrong time. It wasn't because she liked him, that's for sure.

Jimmy shook his head and sighed softly, wondering what had crawled up her ass and died. He didn't know why she was so snappy and bitchy lately. Maybe she was pmsing. That had to be it. That's why she brought up shower sex while on the rag. He downed his drink and tossed the bottle on the ground, watching it roll into the sand.

@ kaleidoscopes.
Brian rolled her eyes at her and crossed his arms against his chest once again. "Whatever Effie," he sighed out, he was over this pathetic fight already. "I'm going back to the group. You can go catch up with a pissed off Vicky if you want. I don't really care. I need a drink," he stated. He had noticed Vicky walk past with a sour look on her face, but decided not to say anything due to the fact she'd probably have a go at him too and he didn't want to be yelled at by another person today. "I'm going back to the group," he shrugged as he turned back on his heels to head back to where the group was beginning to drink.

Vicky had her eyes firmly planted on the ground as she walked; every now and then taking swigs of the bottle of alcohol. The road looked like it had no cars on it at all. There were no tire tracks, foot prints from humans or even foot prints from animals. It was rather strange to her. She was starting to feel herself calm down the further she got away from Jimmy. She was happy to be away from him, he had been making her so angry lately, but this had been the first time she had gone off at him. If she had it her way, she would blame it on pms-ing, but that wasn't due for a few more days. He had just made her that mad.

Effie rushed after Vicky, catching up with her and sighing softly. "What's wrong?" she asked. "You look pissed. I'm sorry Johnny doesn't know how to read a map. I'm pretty pissed off too. It's hot as hell, I'm starting to sweat and I could really go for a nap right now. Plus, Brian's being the biggest possible asshole he could be right now. It's annoying as hell." She shook her head and looked at her.

Jimmy stood up and climbed into Brian's car, turning the air on and turning all the vents on him. Why did he think it was a good idea to wear pants today? Well, he also didn't know that Johnny would be giving Matt the wrong directions that would lead them into the middle of a freaking desert either.

The first thing Brian done when he got back was grab two fucking beers out of the cooler and jumped into the car with Jimmy. It was far too fucking hot outside. He didn't understand how the rest of them could still be sitting out there when there is fucking air conditioning in the car. He passed the bottle over to Jimmy and settle back into the seat as he opened his. A little part of him hoped that Effie had followed him back, but she was no where to be seen. "You right mate?" Brian questioned him with a frown on his face. He wasn't being the usual happy Jimmy he knew and loved.

Vicky glanced over at Effie with a small smile, handing the bottle of Jack in her direction once she took another swig. "As much as I think Johnny is a twat, it's not that," she began with a shrug. "You and I have similar issues right now. I think Jimmy has been hanging with Brian too much as his asshole-ness as rubbed off on Jimmy," she joked rather pathetically. "I could punch him right now, but a walk seemed better. Don't wanna do too much damage to that friendship, especially since we are supposed to be on a fucking holiday." Vicky let out a sigh, running a hand through her hair. "I want to find somewhere and just get drunk. It's too fucking hot for my liking. This is worse than fucking Cali in the middle of summer."

@ kaleidoscopes.

Effie rolled her eyes. "Typical boys," she muttered. She nodded her head as she looked at her. "I completely agree with you. I just want to get drunk and move onto tomorrow and just completely forget today happened. You know, everything would be fine if we had just taken the right exit. But stupid Johnny can't read a map. Maybe we should have just not followed them."

Jimmy nodded his head. "Yeah," he said. "I'm fine. I just don't know why I'm fighting with Vicky. She's like my best friend. I'm just so confused. I try to apologize and she throws it back in my face, pisses me off, which makes us fight even more." He shrugged his shoulders and looked over at Brian. "At least Eff has a reason to bitch at you, but I don't think Vicky hates me."

@ kaleidoscopes.
Brian looked over at Jimmy and rolled his eyes. "You two are practically in a relationship and you two still claim in as friends. You two seriously fight like you are a fucking couple it's ridiculous," Brian stated with a shrug. Brian shuffled around so he could move his seat back so he could stretch out a bit more. "Don't throw that 'she's like a sister' bullshit to me because you and I both know that's not true. You need to man up and do something about it before she finally gives up and actually finds someone else. I'm surprised she stuck around this long without getting into an actual relationship." Brian shrugged his shoulder again as he finally took his eyes off of Jimmy and looked out the window. "Effie will always have a reason to bitch at me. I piss her off and she pisses me off, that's how it'll always work."

Vicky snorted, "I know right." She shook her head as the walked further and further. The heat was fucking killing her now and she hoped they would stumble across something sooner rather than later. "The groups got to stay together," she shrugged. "Those boys can't be separated for a day otherwise they'd go insane without each other," she laughed softly. Vicky looked a head and frowned at the blurry buildings in the distance. "Well, this looks promising," she stated, motioning to the town the were slowly descending upon. "Thank fucking god too because I want a bed for the night and not sleep in the fucking car."

Effie saw the buildings that Vic was talking about and she grinned, squealing and jumping excitedly. "Finally!" she groaned. "Salvation lies ahead! We should go back and tell everyone. Or, you know, we could just leave them all there and get some beds for ourselves." That really sounded like a good idea. She wouldn't have to see Brian again and she could just lay in bed and relax for a little while.

Jimmy sighed. "Alright, I like Vicky," he said, rubbing his face. He looked down at his hands. "I don't know why I can't just man up. I've been best friends with her forever. It would just be weird if we suddenly started dating. Don't you think?"

Brian let out a soft sigh, but had a smile on his face. He had finally managed to get him to admit it while Jimmy was actually sober. He shrugged his shoulders, "have you seen Val and Matt?" he questioned. Those two had been best friends for longer than Jimmy had known Vicky and they finally got together about a year ago. "It wouldn't be weird."

Vicky let out a loud laugh, "we should go chill out, finish this bottle of jack and let those two boys hang for awhile. Get them freaking out that we've taken too long." She grabbed onto Effie's hand and dragged her towards the town. "Let's check this place out, see if there is a hotel or not."

Effie squeaked when Vicky began to drag her, grunting as she followed her. "Brian couldn't give two fucks less about where I am, and I don't think Jimmy necessarily wants to be around you right now," she claimed, continuing to follow her anyways. "I guess we can be alone, then. Silence and alcohol sound good right now."

Jimmy huffed and narrowed his eyes at Brian. "You're not helping me here, Brian," he grumbled, looking away from him. "No, I haven't seen Matt or Val, they're probably out somewhere fucking for all I know, and I really don't care." He rubbed his face and climbed out of the car, looking around. He just needed something to do, to occupy his time.

Brian groaned loudly, "Not what I meant, Jimmy." He shook his head and climbed out after him. "What I am trying to say is Matt and Val have been best friends longer than you and fucking Vicky. Look at them now, they are fucking dating at it's not weird." Shaking his head again, Brian walked off and downed his beer as he moved towards Johnny and Zack who were leaning up against Matt's car.

Vicky scoffed loudly, "Brian so does! He may not show it, but I can tell." A little giggle escaped her as she finally let go of Effie's wrist. She walked further into the town; completely ignoring the sign on the outskirts. She did not care where the fuck they were as long as there was a god damn motel here, but her hope soon faded and her brows furrowed. "Is it just me or is this place deserted?" Vicky asked slowly. There was no one here, not one single soul. It was just sand, dirt and buildings with their doors still open.

Effie looked around. "It sure looks like it," she said with a slight frown. "Maybe we don't have to pay then." She shrugged and walked into a little bar, walking around the counter and pulling some old bottles out from under the counter. "This place is definitely deserted. These bottles are way old. I don't even know these brands."

Jimmy sighed as he leaned against Brian's car, thinking to himself. Well, even if Matt and Val were a perfect example of friendship leading into a relationship, he'd ruined his chances with Vicky now. God, why was he so stupid? "Fuck," he groaned, slapping his face.

Brian sighed loudly after he had finished off his beer. He threw the bottle across the road, hearing the glass shatter. He was going insane with boredom, not only that, but he hadn't seen Effie for a good thirty minutes or more. After a few more long minutes passed he decided to speak up finally. "Has anyone seen Vicky or Eff?" he asked, looking around and each of his friends. His eyes had landed on Zack who was shaking his head back at Brian. "I text Vicky about fifteen minutes ago and I haven't heard anything back," he shrugged. He was getting worried considering it was going to be pitch black soon.

Vicky grinned as she followed after Effie. "I am all for not using any money," she shrugged in reply. Vicky leaned over the bar to pick up one of the bottles Effie had found. She dusted off the label, laughing almost instantly at the label that read Reaper. She opened the bottle, taking a small whiff of what was inside to see whether or not it was still drinkable. The moment the smell reached her nostrils, she began coughing; slamming the bottle onto the bar top. "Fuck, you will be seeing the Reaper after drinking that potent motherfucker." She pushed herself away from the bar and began a search of the bar. She found a staircase towards the back and headed up the stairs.

Effie looked outside before looking at the stairs. "Vic, it's getting dark!" she called. She put the bottles away, frowning when she felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned around and looked, not seeing anyone. "Vicky! Come on!" She was getting a bit creeped out, but it was probably just her imagination from the dehydration and the heat. She shrugged her shoulders and walked upstairs.

Jimmy frowned. "Maybe we should go look for them," he suggested. He didn't want to be the one responsible for abandoning the girls. Well, really, he wasn't. That was Brian's fault. He looked at Brian. "You shouldn't have left Effie alone. Hell, we should have taken the cars out instead of letting them walk."

Brian ran a hand through his hair as he glanced over at Jimmy. "Give them ten minutes, if we don't see them then I'll go for a drive," Brian sighed. His brows soon furrowed at Jimmy's words and he folded his arms against his chest. "Hey, this isn't just my fault. You shouldn't have let Vicky storm off."

Vicky was poking around upstairs. She was actually surprised that there were a few bedrooms up here. "Eff we should crash here for the night!" she shouted, "We can party downstairs at the bar, then fuck off up here cause there's a few beds." They weren't comfortable, luxurious beds like she was used to now. The beds here reminded her of her crappy single bed she had when she was seven years old. As Vicky reached the final room in the place, she felt a cold shiver run down her spine and goose bumps appeared on her skin. It was a weird feeling and she didn't enjoy it very much. She backed away slowly from the door, deciding she would feel more comfortable with it knowing the guys were with her in case there was a dead body or something behind the door. "Yeah, let's get out of here and get the guy!" she called as she spun on her heels and headed back to the staircase.

Effie watched Vicky come down the stairs and nodded her head. "Alright," she murmured. "We need to be careful, it's getting dark." She took Vicky's hand in hers and led her out of the bar, staying close to her as they began to walk back to the guys. She didn't feel entirely safe here, even with Vicky by her side.

Jimmy huffed. "Well I wasn't gonna let myself get kicked in the balls, so excuse me for letting her storm off," he grumbled, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. It wasn't his freaking fault, gosh. He grabbed another beer and started chugging it, really wanting to get shitfaced and then go to sleep. He knew he'd have a god awful hangover in the morning, but it was totally worth it.

@ kaleidoscopes.
Brian rolled his eyes, "at least you didn't get hit." Brian pushed himself away from the car and looked the way he and Effie once were. He was hoping they would show up sooner rather than later.

Vicky nodded her head as she let Effie lead her out. "This town is creepy as fuck, they guys will like it," she mumbled as they got back out to the dirt road. She kept glancing over her shoulder with the feeling someone was watching them, but every time she looked there was absolutely nothing. She had never been in a deserted town before so she was blaming those weird feelings on that.

Effie left with her, knowing it would be a walk back. She stayed close, sighing softly. "This place gives me the heebies," she mumbled, looking around. "What if there's dead people around here?" She'd always been one to believe in ghosts and the supernatural. She'd never seen a ghost, but she sure did believe in it.

"Oh, come on," Jimmy muttered. "She couldn't have hit you that hard." He chugged the drink and sighed softly. "Well, I'm gonna lay down in the backseat. If anyone needs me, don't need me." He climbed into the car and laid in the backseat, humming softly to himself.
