Bulletproof

56.

"No, the boys are in the shower" I speak slowly, wondering how she doesn't notice their suitcases, and the waters running, not to mention them running into my house like a herd of elephants.

"Mom, is everything okay?" 

"Yeah, everything is fine" She nods "Have fun at the music festival, I'll see you when you get back" She smiles, weakly. She picks up the papers from the counter, and kisses my forehead walking out of the house.

"What's up with your mom?"

"I have no idea" I shake my head.

"Oh well I hope she's okay" 

"Me too" I nod, sitting down on my couch.

"We're here!" Mark cheers hopping out of the truck "It even smells like fireflies and marijuana but that's not the point" He shakes his head.

"Fireflies have a smell?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I guess, I mean lady bugs do"

"Yeah, but aren't lady bugs poisonous and that's why they have a smell, what's with fireflies?"

"I have no idea, I didn't pay attention in zoology" He shrugs.

"I didn't pay attention in animal behavior" I fake cry, and he laughs.

"Alright, enough bug talk, let's unpack all our stuff" Austin comes over, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Buzzkill" I tease, rolling my eyes playfully

"I'm sorry what was that?" 

"I said oh my god, you're muscles" I laugh.

"That's what I thought" He chuckles and we all walk into the camper.

"So, I say we discuss sleeping arrangements first" Mark suggests, sitting down next to me "But we have a problem...or a solution" He mumbles the last part, and I look at him in confusion.

"What's the problem?" Zach asks.

"There's only four beds, and five of us" He says "I want a bed to myself, and Oliver kicks in his sleep" He mutters, and I look at him with wide eyes. This little shit.

"I like to sprawl out in bed so..." Zach trails off, and Austin and I look at each other.

"Ugh fine" I sigh.

"Wow, don't seem all broken up about it" Austin chuckles.

"I'm not" I shake my head "I just expected a bed to myself" I mumble, looking at Mark.

"Sorry cupcake" He pats my knee "So let's get on with the unpacking" He stands up grabbing his suitcase and walking to his set of drawers. Oliver does the same, while Zach just stands there.

"You can have the drawers with my name on it" I chuckle, and he nods.

"Well, let's go then" Austin mutters, motioning to the big room. I pick up my suitcase and carry it to the room, tossing it onto the bed. 

I pretend to not notice as Austin stares at me, but it's hard to act like he's not staring. I fake a cough which seems to slap him out of his daze, and he begins to unpack his stuff. When I finished, I sigh and flop down onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?" Austin asks, as he puts his suitcase down on the side of the bed.

"Nothing" I shake my head, and he lays down next to me.

"I know you well enough to know that was a lie" He turns to face me, propping his head up on his hand.

"I think there's something going on with my mom" I frown, rolling over onto my side.

"Why?" 

"I don't know, she's been really sad all of a sudden, and she seems like she's out of it all the time, and I'm really worried" I frown, playing with Austin's necklace, as it hangs down. 

"Talk to her, ask her why she's so upset" He suggests, and I sigh "I know she's been worried about you" 

"I know, and she shouldn't be, I'm going through my 18 and rebellious phase but I think it's over now" I  laugh breathlessly.

"You never let me see your tattoo" He chuckles.

"You will tomorrow, I promise" I wink.

"Good to know" 

"All I wanna do is lay in bed all day" I chuckle.

"But you're not going to be able to, Mark is going to want to explore" He smirks and I shake my head.

"No he won't" 

"Yes he will"

"Mark hates walking more than I do" I laugh.

"I'll bet you" He holds out his hand.

"Oh yeah, what for what?" I smirk, and he leans closer.

"Head for head" He whispers in my ear and I nearly choke.

"What?" 

"You heard me, haven't had a good blowjob in a while" He chuckles.

"Hmm, you're on, but only because I know I'm going to win" I shrug, and he nods.

"We'll see about that"

Hi, I told you there will be flirting, so let it begin...

I don't know much about Firefly so don't judge if I'm wrong, but when the Warped Tour chapter comes, ooh I know all my shit on that.
