Song: Everything Black by Unlike Pluto

I'm pissed and sad af so expect two or three chapters tonight :D

Y/n's POV

The eight of us were all in our cars again, riding silently on the highway. These guys never talk anymore. I wish they'd talk, and it's for a selfish reason. I just want to listen to something, be involved in something, just to take my mind off of last night's events. It's been on my mind ever since it happened. It just wont go away. The sight of Vic so mad, then seconds later he has a bullet in his head. The sound of the gun and the lifeless body collapsing. The way none of the guys acted like this was bad. Like they didn't just take someone's life.

The sun was already falling. We've only stopped to eat once during this trip and I have a feeling it's going to be like that until we find somewhere to say. I don't blame them, though. We have to keep moving. Get as far as possible. It may not be healthy to eat once a day, but the average human body can survive three weeks without food. One day wont effect anything.

Tyler is driving now, giving Mark a break. I'm still in the passenger seat. Ethan is sitting with a worn down book in his hand in the back, with Mark on the other side. His head was leaning against the head rest, his eyes shut and breathing steady. Tyler looked focused, aware of every car around us and watching where Seán drove. Seán was now driving so Bob could rest. They were in front of us now, driving somewhere. I don't think anyone knew where we were going. Tyler and Seán just drove and no one complained.

"The fuck is he doing?" Tyler mumbled to himself.

The car in front of us began slowing down, pulling over to the side by the guard rail. Tyler followed, parking the car behind them. Seán stepped out, quickly getting to the other side of the car, avoiding getting hit by a passing car. Tyler and Ethan hopped out as well. Seeing the others from Bob's car jump out, I do as well. Mark is still asleep, unaware to anything that's happening.

All of us stood on the side of the road in a small group. We probably looked insane to anyone passing by. Seven people standing on the side of a busy road where multiple people have died doing the same thing. But really, is that whats insane to me anymore?

"I used to talk to this guy that lives about an hour or two away. Maybe he still lives there. I'm sure he'd let us stay for a while." Felix shrugged.

"It wouldn't hurt to stop by." Ethan nodded. He turned his head to Tyler. "Would it?"

"I don't see any harm in it." Tyler stated.

"Are you sure he'd let us stay? With our reason?" Seán said.

"Well," Felix started. "We don't exactly have to tell him."

"How will that make sense?" Seán asked. He tends to think everything through, come up with a backup plan, decide if somewhere is safe enough for us or not. Without him, I'm sure they'd all be a mess. "Hi, great to see you! We can't tell you why we need to stay a few nights! Oh! And, you can't tell anyone we're here!" He acted as if he were meeting the guy Felix is talking about.

"It'll be fine." Felix rolled his eyes. "We can make up an excuse, then somehow convince him not to say anything. It's that easy."

Seán sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's not that easy, Felix. What if he knows what we've done? He can call the cops without us knowing then we're done."

"I can't help but to agree with Seán." I stated.

Ethan was next to speak his side. "If all turns to shit, we'll keep running. It's not like we haven't been doing that these past couple of years."

"But we need to think-" Seán was interrupted by a door slamming shut.

"What're we doing?" Mark asks, walking up to the group. "Did something happen with one of the cars?"

"Felix knows a guy who would possibly let us stay a while." Seán stated.

Mark raised a brow. "Okay, then whats the problem?"

"Seán doesn't trust it." Wade said.

Mark folded his arms. "C'mon, we need somewhere to stay. What could go wrong?"

Seán rolled his eyes. "A lot could go wrong!"

"And if it turns out badly, we'll leave. Easy as that." Mark spoke sternly.

"it's not-"

Seán was interrupted by Mark. "We're going."

Seán was obviously annoyed but didn't argue. Mark looked at Felix and pointed at Bob's car. "Felix, you're leading. Tyler, I'm driving."

Everyone listens obediently, taking a seat back in their cars. In the car, we sat where we had been the whole time(other than when Mark and Tyler switched). Mark is driving, Tyler and Ethan are in the back, and I'm in the passenger seat. It's as if we claimed a seat when we took off last night.

The radio was playing Everything Black in the background. Staring out at the pink and orange sky, I listen to the lyrics.

Baby you should come with me

I'll take you to the dark side
(Honestly I can't figure out if this song is about sex or how black his soul is....I'm sure it's about sex XD )

After hearing those words, it made me think of the last twenty-four hours. It may not mean what I took it as, but it reminded me of these guys. They seem like normal guys. Ethan is super sweet, Tyler and Bob are super funny, Mark is silly at some times and really smart. They're all great people, I would've never thought they'd be doing something like this. Who would've thought they'd be my road to a different life, even if it is a bad road to go down. I may regret my decision to come with them right now, but maybe it will change. Maybe all this will actually turn out to something good.

Getting bored, I remember I had my phone in my pocket. I pull it out from my pocket in the silent car, holding down the power button to turn it on again. All I saw once it turned on were a series of missed calls and messages from Amora, Isaiah, Lucas, and even my mother.

Amora❤️               9:15am
What happened?! Are you okay?!

Amora❤️               9:17am
The cops came and wouldn't let anyone go to their classes. They were asking everyone if they knew anything

Amora❤️               9:18am
Once they found out I was your roommate, they asked me a bunch of questions. I had to give them your number for some reason. I don't know how that would help

Amora❤️               9:19am
Please answer me when you see this

Isaiah               9:24am
What in the hell did you do?

Lucas               9:46am
Amora and Lucas are saying the police were all over campus today looking for you. Tf did you do?

Lucas               9:48am
They wouldn't let anyone on or off campus

❤️Mom❤️               5:06pm
What is all this (I'm seeing on the news/people are talking about) that you are running from the police?!

❤️Mom❤️               5:10pm
I did not raise you to do something so bad as this. I am very disappointed in you. Don't even bother coming home again, I don't want to be associated with you. Did you even think...
(Is that too harsh, or is that only my parents who would react like this?)

Her message continued, but it wouldn't show the full thing on the lock screen. I went to scroll further down before my phone was yanked from my hand.

"What are you doing?" Mark shouted, quickly shifting his gaze between the road and me. Before I could answer, he rolled the window down and tosses my phone out the window.

"What are you doing? What the fuck was that for?" I shout back. Tyler and Ethan were looking at us curiously.

Mark rolled the window back up. "If they get your number, they can see where you are from the cell towers. That is an easy way to lead them right to us."

"And you never thought to tell me this?"

"I thought you would've known! Why else do you think we don't have any?"

"Yeah, because I can take a simple detail like that and figure that out."

The argument ended there. Tyler and Ethan returned to what they were doing and we all went back to listening to the music. Honestly, I wasn't that upset about losing my phone. I was barely on it before, so it really doesn't change anything. I was mad that he expected me to know that. How in the hell would I know that from one simple detail?
