“So is anyone
gonna explain why there’s a baby back here?” asked Lewis looking behind him, “we
found him in a car we passed, he was crying, we couldn’t just leave him there
like that” Bella said cradling him, “nawr, he so cute” Lily said smiling at the
baby, Lewis and Connor looked at each other and rolled their eyes, “so where we
headin’?” Lewis asked leaning forward
over Herbie’s shoulder, “well...” herbie sighed, “as far away from this shit as
possible” he continued, “yeah, but I mean do you know a place where It’s safe
or...?” Lewis asked again, “nope, just gonna keep following the road” Herbie
answered, Rob reached forward and tried tuning the radio, “maybe there’ll be
some sort of emergency broadcast” Rob said turning the dial, the radio made a
crackling sound as he turned over multiple channels, but there was nothing,
both Lewis and Rob both sat back and tried to get comfy for the long journey
ahead. After about half an hour the sky started to turn dark red, “hey can we
stop a sec, I need a piss” Ritchie asked Herbie, “yeah, I could do with a break
as well” he replied as he pulled up on the middle of a small bridge, They all
got out to stretch their legs, Ritchie, Rob and Connor, walked to the end of
the small bridge, Lewis got out and leant over the edge of the bridge and
looked down in the stream below, he watched as a shoal of trout swam past,
Herbie walked up to him and also looked down at the stream, “you want me to
drive?” Lewis asked him, “yeah, if you
wouldn’t mind” Herbie sighed in relief, “it’s stressful, you know this whole
situation”, “yeah I know” Lewis
agreed, “what’s wrong mate” Herbie asked because of Lewis ’
tone, “oh nothing?” Lewis replied quickly, he couldn’t tell him that he was
constantly thinking of that moment with Lily, meanwhile back at the jeep, Bella
had taken her dancing teams hooded jumper off, and wrapping the sleeping baby
in it and placing it in the back of the jeep as she got out to stretch her
legs, Grace and Megan both walked the same way as Connor, Rob and Ritchie did,
Lewis walked back to the jeep and jumped in the front seat and rested his head
against the chair and closed his eyes, when the front passenger door opened and
in came Lily smiling, “hey you” she said closing the door, “you okay you look
down?”she continued, “yeah I’m fine, but about earlier, what was that about?” Lewis asked, “Well I just wanted to say thanks” she
replied, Lewis looked down at his
hands in disappointment, “oh so you didn’t mean anything serious?” he asked
trying not to show his disappointment, “not if you didn’t want it to?” she
replied looking straight into Lewis eyes, but before Lewis could answer her, Herbie
jumped into the back seat and stretched out his whole body across the whole of
the seat and sighed loudly “ahh, that’s nice” both Lewis and Lily looked back
at him in disgust, “what?” he said looking at them puzzled, Lewis stormed out
in frustration, he walked over to the end of the bridge to see where the others
had gotten to, he stepped off the edge of the bridge to see the others, all the
other stood outside a small wooden shack, laughing and holding large dark
purple bottles, “what the hell is going on around here?” Lewis asked as he
approached the group, “hey, Lewy’ Lew, look what we found” Connor mumbled,
lifting up a bottle with three large XXX’s on, “some hillbilly booze” Ritchie
said laughing whilst finishing the last drop out of his bottle, the girls were
passing around two bottles laughing outrageously, “come on join in” Megan said
to Lewis leaning towards him, “as much as I’d love to drink some alcohol that
could actually have anything inside, I’m driving, so can you please hurry up
and get back to the jeep?” he sighed walking back towards the jeep, he could
hear the group laughing behind him. Lewis
sat back in the driver seat, where Lily
and Herbie were still in the same places, “It’s gonna be a long night” Lewis sighed rubbing his eyes, “why what’s up?”
Herbie asked, “you’ll see” he replied.
