Sequel: Close Yet Far

Anything but Ordinary

Full Trunk?

(Aimee's POV)

“AMES!” God I was getting tired of Heather yelling me awake. But then again, I was going to miss her when I moved to Pennsylvania. She was fine with the idea when she realized she could have a room just for her computer and stuff. “I loaded my bags!” her head poked into the room. “How are you still sleeping? We have days of drinking ahead of us!”

Grunting I rolled over. Course I couldn't sleep if Heather kept waking me up. Feeling my bed bounce I kicked at the source. “HEATHER!” I heard more movement followed by my amp kicking on. “DON'T”

It was too late, she had my Washburn hooked up to the amp and was attempting to play. “See, if you had teached me!” a mix of sing-screaming came out of her mouth as a string broke. “Now I gotta fix this string, and you know that ain't free.” plucking different chords quickly, Heather managed to break another string.

“You scratch the body again, and you're dead!” Bolting from my bed, I tossed the blankets from my body. “Don't scream Heath-”

“SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!” stomping around I knew she had waken the neighbors, again. Couldn't wait for that letter to show up in the mailbox. The last one was so angry I couldn't help but frame it. “AND DUMP MY BODY IN PENNSYLVANIA!”

It was beginning to seem like a good idea. Grabbing my last few things, I threw them into my bag. Had a feeling that it was going to be a very interesting- “Think this is a good traveling outfit?” Her voice broke though my thoughts. Dropping my bag, I nearly dropped my pocketbook too. My jaw may have even dropped too. A pair of ripped up brown cargo shorts looked as though she had worn them for a year straight without taking them off. The Pirates of the Caribbean shirt she had bought the other day was cut into a cropped tee and she had a bikini top on underneath.

“You know it's fall right?”

I opened the trunk of the car to see it was already completely filled up with Heather's bags. “HEATHER!” pulling bags out, I counted a total of four book-bags. “We are going there for the weekend! You seriously have a bag for each day!”

“So?” flipping a bit of her blonde hair back, she started reloading the trunk. “You should just get a bigger car!”

Looking back into the trunk, I couldn't help but shake my head. “Heather! It's a Mercedes! I can fit like two bodies in here and half of a third one!” She stopped moving for a moment, before placing my bags in as well.

“It all fits!” going to the passenger door, Heather climbed in quickly. Sitting into the driver's seat, I turned the engine over and left the apartment. “You were kidding about the bodies right?”

Turning up the stereo, I nodded slightly then shook my head. Had to bite my tongue as Heather stared out the window and nervously tapped her fingers on the armrest. Least she would behave until we left … Well I gave til we got out of Albany.

Before leaving, we were going to Kay and Kelly's apartment uptown, and then heading south. It would only be a short stop in my hometown to pick up Jaimie then we were going to Pennsylvania. “How are they ready already?”

Kay, Amid, and Kelly already sat in Kay's powder blue Hyundai thing, and all looked bored beyond all belief. “They have what is known as normal jobs, they are use to being up at this hour.”

“Ah.” I locked the windows on her as she reached to lower hers. “Hey! I was just going to say hi!”

“Um, yeah doubt it.” waving to Kay, I let her take the lead and followed close behind as we made our way to the interstate. “Behave Clubby.” before she got a chance to assure me I cut her back off. “All weekend.”

After two hours of Heather sitting still in the car, I pulled into Wallkill and up to Jaimie's mom's house. “Thank god! I had to fight with Mel to go with her father for the longest time!” placing her bags next to her on the back seat, Jaimie waved to the girls that had walked up to the car.

“So thinking we should just cut by your parents house to get onto the interstate again, then we need coffee!” Kay banged the top of the car then walked away. Grinning Kelly had joined her in walking away quickly.

Wanting to speed past my parents house, I accelerated as fast as I could and manage the turns. Whenever my parents found out I had been in the area without stopping in, I received hell via text and voicemails. Neither being things I wanted this weekend. After all the hell of working two jobs, I needed some relaxation and fun.

Preparing for a racetrack turn outside my childhood home, I instead speed into my driveway. Two of my college friends had been on my front lawn, both with signs saying 'take us to PA'.

Megan Wong was the first to throw her sign down to the ground and run to the car. Her blond crazy curls went everywhere. I had met her through the others back in college, and we became instant friends. Next to head over was the short haired brunette known as X-Tina. Course she came over sticking her tongue out as if she was going to lick everyone. Slowly climbing out of the car once X-Tina had reached Kay's car and started an assault on the car owner of licking, I looked back to where they had left the signs. With long black hair and a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes, I could tell she was crying even before I tackled her to the ground “EVA!”

Apparently I wasn't the only one with that idea because Kay crashed right into us with X-Tina close behind “Kay let me lick you!”
