Back at the jeep, Herbie and Rob were sat against the passenger door, just
watching Ritchie pacing back and forth the left side of the motorway, “what’s
wrong with him?” Herbie asked without taking his eyes off of Ritchie, “I think
he’s finally come to term with what’s going on” Rob replied also not taking his
eyes off him, “yeah I guess that’s it” Herbie said standing up, he walked over
to the unsettled Ritchie, he walked up to him and put his arms around his
shoulders and led him back towards the jeep, “It’ll be okay pal” Herbie
reassured him, Rob opened the back door and Herbie led Ritchie into the seat
and closed the door behind him, “he’ll be okay” Rob sighed, “hopefully” Herbie
replied walking to the back of the jeep by the girls, “you all okay?” He asked
them, “yeah were okay” Grace replied smiling, “But I don’t know what’s wrong
with Lily” she continued looking over her shoulder to see Lily sat on her own
on the metal railing leading up the side of the motorway, “yeah she’s been
there a long time” Megan said standing up and walking over towards Herbie,
“have she said anything to you?” Rob asked with his hands on his hips, “nope,
every time we go over there she hardly says anything, she just nods her head”
Bella replied sitting down under the boot roof, Then they saw Lily stand up and
put her hand over her eyes whilst she looked back down the road, “hey, there
back” she shouted, the other all looked down the road to see the front of a
yellow sports car speeding towards them, the yellow car slowed down as it
approached the group at the back of the jeep, “where the hell have you been?”
Herbie asked walking up the side of Lewis door, “we ran into a little trouble”
Lewis said pulling the keys out of the car, he jumped over the door, “we
managed to get two cans of fuel for you, we didn’t have enough time to get any
more” Lewis continued walking to the back of his car, he opened the boot and
picked up the two orange cans and passed them to Herbie, “nice job mate” He smiled,
before anyone could say anything else Bella jumped in, “where’s the baby?!” she
shouted, Lewis looked at Connor, “he wasn’t there” Lewis sighed looking at
Bella who had tears in her eyes, “but we found this on the table” Lewis
continued reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the note and gave it to Bella
she read it aloud, “so what does this mean?” Rob asked, “Well, I think we
should head for this meilleville place” Lewis said looking at Connor, “oh yeah,
right, here” Connor said pulling the map out of his pocket, he gave it to
herbie, “but it’s all the way on the other side of the map” he sighed, “how do
you know that?” Connor asked confusedly, herbie pointed to the large sign
above, Lewis and Connor stepped back, the sign read ‘port seldom 111’, “a
hundred and eleven miles you’ve got to be kidding me” Lewis sighed, they walked
back towards the group, “yep, but it’s said to be a safe place to live, so I
still think we should head for it” Lewis continued, “yeah me too” said lily
walking into the group with a smile on her face, “you seem to have cheered up”
Megan asked her, “oh I dunno, I guess I just feel better now” she said looking
at Lewis, “right... okay... I’m gonna go fill the jeep up now, then we’ll head
towards this place” Herbie said walking around to the side of the jeep, “I’ll
drive” Connor said walking towards the driver’s door on the jeep, Herbie passed
him the keys out of his pocket whilst he was pouring the fuel into the jeep, Megan
and Grace walked to the back door, they both jumped in, “wow, what’s with
Ritchie” Megan asked whilst moving over to the seat next to him, “We don’t
know, he’s been like that for a while, I was watching him a minute ago” Lily
said opening the boot door and sitting in the seat in the boot, Bella just
behind sitting on the seat opposite, Rob got in the front passenger seat next
to Connor, “okay, you’re ready to go” Herbie said throwing the empty cans away,
Connor nodded to him, “we’ll stop if anything goes wrong”, Herbie walked over
to Lewis in the sports car and got in the passenger seat, Connor started to
drive off, Lewis just behind him, “so rob told me some stuff” herbie said to
Lewis, Lewis’ eyes widened but he tried not to show it, “oh, and what’s that?”
he asked quickly, “your little incident with Lily” Herbie smiled and winked
nudging Lewis on the shoulder, Lewis put his head back and rested it on the
head rest, “really?, I made him promise he wouldn’t tell anyone the lying
prick”, Lewis sighed, “don’t worry I won’t tell anyone mate, but how was it?”
herbie asked, “how was what?” Lewis
asked smiling confusedly, “you know, how was she?” Herbie asked smugly, “dude
we only made out” Lewis laughed, “so
far...” Herbie winked. The darkness
covered the sky with a bright light from the moon which shone through the car
windows, meanwhile in the back of the jeep, Lily
was leaning on her arm smiling, “what changed your mood?” Bella whispered to
her, “huh? Oh nothing” she said still smiling, “yeah there is obviously
something because ever since Lewis and
Connor got back you’ve been happy... wait ... you have a thing for Connor don’t
you” Bella said winking, Lily looked at her ridiculously, “yeah, no that’s
definitely not it” she leant back on her arm, “if I tell you, you can’t tell
no-one okay?” she continued, “yeah I swear I won’t” Bella said crossing her
fingers, “its Lewis... we kinda have a thing for each other” she said biting
her lip, Bella looked at her in shock, “I knew something was going on” she
giggled, “yeah we have made out a few times” Lily said whispering, “but
remember you can’t tell no-one” lily continued, “don’t worry, I won’t” she
reassured her again, both girls giggled, “what are you two laughing at then?” Grace asked looking back towards them, Lily giggled looking at Bella who was still smiling,
“oh nothing” she said.
