Chap 2

It was fuzzy when I woke up, sweat all over my back. I knew we had come to a stop as I saw Ramie and Mike sleeping soundlessly.
    I looked at Lana, noticing she was still sleeping, she usually woke up before me but I guess last night took its toll. I shivered at the thought and looked behind me out of paranoia, carefully putting Johnny in Lana’s arms.
    I was surprise; it was a deserted inland from where I sat, nothing but cold hard sand and a cold hard bumpy road, with absolutely no cars. I nudge Lana, loving to show her what I was seeing; she woke up, cradled Johnny and faced me.

 “Why are you waking me up?” she groaned, cranky as hell. I shushed her, and looked at Johnny, there was no way I wanted him to wake up.

   "Put him between us and come look at this", I whispered.

   She did what I told her to do and she looked where I was looking. She was in awe herself, It might have been deserted but it was too beautiful to not look at. Flowers were on the roads and in the sidewalk, it was probably everywhere. Funny thing was, no matter how sad I was about leaving the community, I still had hope we could live somewhere. Somewhere that the community wasn’t the only thing we counted on and that we wouldn't be afraid to go outside at night. Afraid that Ramie’s "boys" would come with a gun and shoot us. I smiled in hope of a good future.

   “What are you smiling about?” Lana asked, sounding all cheery, her emerald green eyes twinkling. I looked at her black hair, how it was filled with sweat, and how her olive toned skin shined in the desert sunlight. I was glad to have her as my friend, my best friend to be exact.

  “Oh you know, I just want to smile for a good day” I said, not wanting to voice out loud my embarrassing thoughts.

   “Yeah and a good future” she said with a knowing look. I hugged her, sad yet happy emotions overflowing. I turned around and an idea came.
  
    "Hey girl, why don’t we play a prank on my uncle and your father”.

She wiggled her eyebrows, clearly getting the message, taking out her lips gloss out of her pocket. “They won’t be able to take it off so easily”.

I nodded, grabbing my brown eye shadow,” get ready, drag queens”, I whispered to them.

  We grabbed our wigs in hope for our prank to worked and giggled waiting for them to wake up. It wasn't long until Ramie and Mike woke up. Ramie stared at Mike, and clamped his hands over his mouth to stop from laughing, while mike didn't even bother to hide how hilarious he found Ramie face.

  “Mike you- hahaha” Ramie chuckled.

Mikes face was all red as he looked in the mirror, then look at Ramie, its seems that you have the same face I do my brother, but I must say I look better.
 
   Ramie’s eyes scrunched in confusion, and when he looked at his window, he screamed “Ahhhhhhhhh”

 “Suki, Lana!” the both said in union

We held our stomach, little giggles escaping. “Mike, Ramie why are you looking at us?” Lana said her hands up to defend herself. I laughed happy and having fun for once in my life.
    They zipped out water bottles from their suitcases and poured it all over them making sure the makeup was all off.
  
  Da-ddy, a small childlike whispered said,  I looked at Johnny and my heart melted as I saw him rubbing his eyes.

  I picked him up, "I thought your daddy would like being a girl for a day Johnny boo", I said tickling him as he laughed happily.
  
  Mike smiled at me, "Suki, did I look pretty?"

 I couldn't help laughing at that outrageous question. “Of course you di-“

   “Hey, Mike man is that you?” a voice screamed from outside. My heart pounded and I held Johnny close to me, I didn't know what to except.

   Mike looked out of his window and a wide smile spread across his face. He looked at us, “Don't worry guys this one isn’t from the community”
 
  I breathed a sigh of relief as he appeared, his luscious self all over the place. He had midnight blue eyes and a strong jaw line with shoulder length, shaggy black hair, swaying in the wind. Tamed yet free. He had dimples, I could tell because, he was smiling. My toes curled just by looking at him.
