Story of a Girl

Lost

"Nikki, we're stopped at Starbucks. Want anything?" Zacky asks shaking my shoulder

"Huh...what time is it?" I ask opening my eyes and sitting up a bit

"11:00AM. Want anything?" Zacky asks.

"A caramel latte and a blueberry muffin would be nice." I say.

"You got it babe." Zacky says.

"Ok...thanks" I say.

Wait a minute...did he just call me babe? If Matt heard that, he would be pissed. He gave the guys the "No Fucking my sister or I will kill you" talk. Don't get me wrong, I love and adore my brother, but sometimes he acts like my mother. I sit up in my bunk and stretch. I look over at my duffel bad and decide what I should wear today. Val and I went shopping yesterday for anything I could possibly need.

"Nick, you up?" Matt asks walking through the door.

"Yeah. Zacky woke me up." I say.

"Listen, I wasn't sure if you wanted anything so..." Matt says.

"It's alright. Zacky has me covered." I say.

"OK then." Matt says taking a sip from his large coffee and continuing down the isle.

I stand up and walk out to the lounge. Brian and Jimmy are already back and enjoying their coffee. Zacky opens the door and walks though it with his arms full.

"Your Caramel Latte and blueberry muffin milady." Zacky says handing me a small paper bag and coffee cup.

"Why thank you." I say.

Brian and Jimmy exchange glances but then go back to their own business. I sit down on the couch and take a sip from my caramel latte. Good as always. After I finish my breakfast, I get dressed. Before I know it, we're moving again.

"Hey guys, where's Johnny?" I ask.

"Oh shit..." Matt says.

"Hey, Jerry, turn around. We forgot something." Brian yells up front.

"I'm sure you can get it at the next stop. We're on a tight schedule." Jerry says.

"I don't think we can pick up a new Johnny." Jimmy says.

"Oh god." Jerry say rolling his eyes as he makes a illigal U-turn.

Jerry drives back to the starbucks. I don't know how we could forget Johnny...maybe it's the fact that he's short. When we pull up to the Starbucks, Johnny's sitting on a curb with a sign that says. "Help, my friends forgot me here." We stop and Johnny hops on giving us all evil stairs.

"Hey, be lucky we remembered you." Matt says.

"Oh don't take the blame, Nikki brought it up." Zacky says putting his arm around my neck.

Matt stares Zacky down until he awkwardley retuns his arm to his side. Again, Matt acts like mom.
