Chapter 11 ~ A Pitstop

It was extremely hot in our RV.
The air conditioner had stopped working every five minutes.
"It's a two and a half hour drive." Lui said, after we had pulled both RV's over.
"Well, what do we do?" Brian asked.
"With no air conditioning, it feels like the van is a toaster." Nicole rolled her eyes.
"It feels as if it's burning us alive." Lonnah nodded.
Luke took off his shirt.
"Luke, what are you doing?" Scotty asked.
"It's hot as hell out here." Luke said, wiping sweat off his forehead.
"Well, can't we go to a mechanic or something?" Macie asked in her normal yet squeaky voice.
"That would take days, maybe even weeks for them to replace it." Chrissy sat down on the foldable stairs on the RV.
"That's right..." Evan said.
"It's gonna be a fun ride then." Tyler laughed.
"Yeah... " Craig said, leaning against the RV.
"So. What do we do?" Marcel asked.
"Yeah, how are we gonna do this?" Nogla said.
"Hey, does anyone have any experience with this kind of stuff?" I asked.
"No." Everyone said.
"Wait," I said. Everyone turned.
"Can we call Ohm or Bryce?" I asked.
"Might as well try." Scotty shrugged.
I called both of them, but they didn't know what to do, either.
Berenice called Nogla, and she didn't know what to do, but she stayed on the phone with him anyways.
"Hey, Lui." I said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Why don't you call Mae?"  I asked.
Macie growled.
"You are not, absolutely not calling Mae." she said, standing up.
Her squeaky voice sounded serious.
"Actually, Macie, Mae has a lot of experience with..." Nogla began.
"Does it look like I care?" Macie asked.
"Actually, Daithi, if it's that serious, why don't you call EMILY?" she asked.
It was now Berenice's turn.
"Well, perhaps, Macie, I don't care, because I know that David is loyal and devoted to me enough to let him talk to his ex if he needs help." Berenice sounded smug.
Ooooooh's echoed through the circle.
"At least I'm jealous because maybe I actually love my boyfriend." Macie said.
Everyone was laughing except for Berenice and Macie.
"Well, sweetie, didn't you know that jealousy is also a sign of an abusive relationship?" Berenice said.
Ooooooooohhhhhh, everyone said.
"Excuse me? ABUSIVE?" Macie yelled.
Berenice didn't answer.
"Hang up on that bitch." Macie said.
"Hey, don't call his girlfriend a bitch." Lui said.
"WHAT!? YOU'RE TAKING UP FOR HER?" Macie yelled.
"That was completely uncalled for, Macie!!" Lui yelled.
Tyler grabbed Mini and Chrissy squeezed Scotty's hand.
"Guys, guys! " I said. Everyone looked back at me.
"We came all the way here for fun!  We aren't here to argue!  Come on, guys!" I said.
Evan nodded and put his arm around my shoulder.
Macie was on the verge of tears from Lui yelling at her.
"Fine," she said. "Fine! Call that Mae bitch, see if she can solve your problem, because apparently I'm not fucking good enough to!!! " Macie screamed at Lui.
She ran up to the first RV and stomped into it and ran into the back room.
Lui stayed still. 
"Okay," he finally said.
"Let's call Mae."

Lui POV:

I had been so angry. But then hurt.
What the hell was I supposed to do?
Let Nogla's innocent girlfriend suffer for no reason?
No, I'm not that kind of person.
Macie went overboard.
But, did I go overboard, too?
Nogla hung up on Berenice, but not on purpose.
"Okay." I said.
"Let's call Mae."

I hadn't talked to Mae in a very long time.
Mae and I used to be very close, in YouTube, Twitch, and in real life, also. Even when we stopped dating and broke up, we were still there for each other.
But it's been a while, and we haven't talked at all.
People asked why Mae and I broke up. They say we were a good couple, but I guess I don't really know what went wrong myself.
Of course I kind of miss her, especially playing video games with her, but Mae has someone else now, and so do I. 
The phone finally rung until Mae picked up.
She was laughing. She was happy.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Mae?" I asked.
I could feel the smile wipe off her face.
"Lui?" she asked.
"Uh.. Yeah." I said.
"One second, guys, someone called me." I heard her laugh and click a few keyboard buttons.
"Lui! I'm streaming! Is this important?" she asked.
"Critical." I answered.
Everyone looked at me. Nogla looked as if he could see the nervousness in my eyes.
"Okay," she sighed.
"What is it?"
"We have an air conditioning problem." I said.
"Do you not know how to fix it?" she asked.

Mae POV:

Lui was starting to really get in my nerves.
All I was trying to do was stream some Call of Duty.
"Well, I don't know how to fix it." Lui said.
"Well." I said, running a finger across my keys.
"Lui, it's really not.... Why didn't you...? What do you want."
I finally decided to say.
"I... Uh... I'd like some advice. Or help." he said.
"Help? You will actually listen?  Since when do you take advice from people?" I asked.
"When I need help!" Lui said.
"Just hang up on the girl if she doesn't want to help." I heard a girl's squeaky voice say.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Macie." Lui said. "My girlfriend."
"Oh." I said. Mike stepped in.
"Everything okay?" he asked behind me.
"Yeah." I said.
"Anyway, what is your air conditioner doing?" I asked.
"It keeps stopping over and over. And Mae, " I cringed when he said my name.
"We are currently in California, heading to San Diego, and we are burning up into small crisps." Lui said.
I laughed, silently.
This was Lui alright.
"Check the fuse. It's probably blown. If so, you can easily replace that within minutes." I said.
"Yeah, it's a blown fuse, definitely." Lui said a moment later.
"Thanks, Mae." he said.
"Bye, Lui." I said. 
"Bye." he said.
I hung up.
I unpaused my stream and resumed my game.

Lui POV:

We had repaired the fuse within twenty minutes.
"So MissesMae was right after all." Macie mocked.
I looked at her.

Delirious POV:

We fixed the fuse.
Lui looked kind of sad.
Macie got out of the RV and started mocking him and Mae.
"Macie, stop." Nogla said.
Macie didn't calm.
Lui walked to the RV and into the back room. 

"Guys, let's just get back on the road." Brian said.
Everyone nodded and headed to their RV.
