20; we stand really close

   i had saw laurens kiss alexander. i also saw him look at me as he did so. i brushed it off, i haven't got the balls to say anything to hamilton about how i feel yet, so i shouldn't care if he's with him. he's not interested in me, that's fine.

   " hey, what was that radio in there about ?" madison buckles his seatbelt, asking all of us.

   " dunno, a failed distraction ?" laurens looks back at us, pulling out of the spot he parked at.

   " jefferson move your head ." laurens pointed to the left so i did, jokingly laying my head on madison's shoulder.

   " wow, and i thought you couldn't get any gayer ." madison, also a close friend, chuckles.

   " i'm as gay as they come ." i joke. that's probably not true, but -

   " everyone hold on to their hats ." the curly headed man in front abruptly pushes the gas petal, making me hit my head on the back of the seat.

   " ow what the fuck -"

   " laurens what the hell ?" alexander exclaims, im guessing that he hit his head too.

   " damn y'all got rubber necks ." laurens cackles, quickly making a right turn, the car making a screeching sound.

   " are we being followed ?" alexander leaned out the window to look, then a shot was fired, it hit the side veiw mirror. which was really close.

   " shit lexi, get the fuck back in !" laurens dragged his collar down. that nickname though . . .

   " those are ice agents, make a u turn ." hamilton blankly said, sitting down.

   " what ?"

   " trust me laurens, just make a u turn ." laurens sighed before following alexander's instructions. the car turned around, facing the black van, inching closer.

   " drive when i say so ." hamilton unbuckles his seatbelt, taking out a knife from his pocket. i swear to god he always has one.

   another shot was fired, and then the car started to tilt.

   " go ." hamilton rested his hands on the window, the knife in one.

   " they just -"

   " kiyate, we can still get away, go !" hamilton ushers. i would be lying if i said i didn't look at his ass atleast once while he stood out the window.

   " you better not get shot lex ." laurens mumbles to himself, pushing the gas pedal. the car rumbled as we zoomed past the van, it was also slightly slower.

   " should we duck ?" madison half-heartedly jokes, i laugh.

   " as the safest option, yes ." just then a round of shots are fired, maria ducks down aswell, saying something quietly underneath her breath. then there was a stinging pain in my shoulder. then blood.

   " oh those fuckers !" i hold the wound, ducking in between my legs.

   " don't get blood on my seats -"

   " you okay ?" i hear hamilton ask.

   " as long as i don't bleed out all the blood in my body, i'll be fine ." i wince as we hit a bump. it didn't hurt that bad, but it might've been my adrenalin rush hiding the pain.

   " we're all gonna be fine ." madison sighs, looking towards the back window, seeing the van turning around as well.

   " says the one who didn't get shot ." i dryly chuckle, seeing blood drip onto the floor. im used to seeing the blood though.
