I wake up to a sudden shaking. I slowly sit up and spot Mateo fully dressed and showered. He stands over me with a mesmerizing cologne on.

"It is time. We are going to fight the Russians. Your clothes are over there," he points on top of his dresser.

I get out of Mateo's bed and grab the clothes which consist of black leggings, a black long sleeve shirt, my black vans, and a gun holster.

This man chose the tightest clothes I have. What a pervert.

I quickly slip the clothes, and quickly out of the room and down to the living room. I am greeted by many men and women all dressed in black. I spot Mateo quietly yelling at a man to get everyone into the cars.

"Mateo," I say walking towards him as the man walks away.

"What?" he says rudely.

'Are you okay?"

"Yes, just stressed. We have to drive all the way to Russia so they cannot track us."

I walk over to the kitchen and see Giovanni with his arms full of snacks.

"Need help?" I ask.

"Grab the drinks off the counter," he says pointing his head towards the bottles of alcohol and juice boxes.

I walk over and grab the glass bottles first and put the juice boxes on top. I follow Gio and he suddenly stops as soon as we get outside and I ram into him.

"What the fuck was that for?" I ask.

"Just making sure you were behind me."

"Bro, you saw me following you."

He then starts walking towards a black Alfa Romeo Giulia. I spot Gabby sitting in the front seat staring at her phone. I knock on her window with the top of the Uzo bottle and she quickly hides her phone and rolls down the window.

"What ya doin?" I say in a sing-songy voice.

"Nothing."

"Angela, get your ass over here and give me the bottles," Gio yells from the back of the car.

"Coming," I say as I give Gabby a funny face.

Gio grabs the drinks out of my hands and tells me to go help Stefano get some blankets.

Goddamn, we aren't going to war. oh, wait...

Stefano walks out of the front with a big pile of blankets in his hands. I walk towards him and grab a few from his hands and ask him where to take them. After he tells me to take it to Gio's car, I head back towards the Alfa Romeo. I hand them to Gio and walk towards Mateo who is talking to a few people.

"Um, Mateo?" I whisper.

"Yes?"

"What car am I going in?"

"We are going with Gio," he says before turning back to the other people.

I walk back to the car for the tenth time today and decide to sit in the back middle.

"Gabby, who were you texting?" I ask.

"Noone."

"You weren't texting me so, wait, was it Mark?" I whisper yell.

"Can you be any louder?"

"WAS IT MARK?" I scream as her face turns red.

"Shut up, okay fine yes."

"Ahhhh Maby is finally sailing!"

"Ew don't ever say that again."

Before we can fight over their ship name Gio, Mateo and Stefano enter the car. Stefano and Mark sit next to me while Gio starts pulling out of the driveway with all the other cars following. Stefano hands me a blanket and before I can put it over my legs Mateo takes it and puts it over his legs. I jank it back and put it back where it was. Then Gio blasts "Bitch better have my money" to break up our fighting.

"How long is this 'trip'," Gabby asks loudly over the music.

"About 35 hours," Stefano says equally as loud.

"Shit," I say.

I am completely losing my mind with these idiots. Gio keeps playing this one song over and over, Stefano keeps yelling at Gio to keep both of his hands on the wheel, Gabby keeps snapping Mark, and Mateo keeps fighting with me.

How will I last another 28 hours?!

"Angela, what do you want to order?" Gio says pulling up to a McDonald's drive-through.

"I don't care," I say resting my head on Mateo's shoulder.

Gio orders some food while I scroll through Instagram. He finally gets 3 paper bags and 2 happy meals and hands one of the happy meals, the vanilla milkshake to Mateo, and the bags to Stefano and Gabby.

"I wanted a hot black coffee, fuck-tard," Mateo says handing the milkshake back to Gio.

Gio park the car at the back of the McDonalds and Mateo grabs my hand and pulls us out of the car.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask.

"I am going to get my coffee."

"And you want me to come with you?"

"No, I was going to leave you here."

"You assh-," I stop myself as I spot a child and their mother eating.

"Welcome to McDonald's. Our ice-cream machine is broken," says a young teenage girl with purple hair and multiple facial piercings.

"I want a large black coffee, no sugar, and no creamer," Mateo says before pulling out his wallet and pulls out a hundred dollar bill.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to the bathroom."

I follow the large sign to the bathroom and getting into the stall quickly. After a couple of minutes, I get out and wash my hands.

Gotta have good hygiene!

I cup my hands under the water and splash it onto my face. I untie my ponytail and rake my hands through my hair when suddenly the door opens to reveal Mateo.

"Why the hell are you in here? This is the women's bathroom. Is there something you haven't told me? Are you a wo-" I get cut off by his lips.

"Shh," he says setting me onto the counter.

After about 10 minutes of kissing the door opens once again.

"Any unholy actions happening here?," Gabby asks with her hand covering her eyes.

"No," I say sliding out of Mateo's grip.

"We got to go," she says holding the door open for us to exit.

We exit the building and we walk towards the car.

"Gio, I can drive," Mateo says.

Gio and Gabby both hop into the back and I get into the passenger seat.

This time around there was no music that made our ears bleed. We slept for 6 hours while Mateo was driving and as soon as we woke up Gio started cracking the weirdest fucking jokes.

"What's the best thing about Switzerland?" he asks.

"I don't know," Stefano replies

"Well, the flag's a big plus."

"Ha ha, got the whole squad laughing," Gabby says opening the bottle of tequila.

"What's a pirate's favorite letter?" Gio starts again.

"Oh, oh, I know this one, it's Rrr," I say.

"Yarr, yee'd think so, but me first love be the C!" Gio says in the worst pirate voice imaginable.

Mateo let me drive and let me tell you, these assholes will not shut up for one minute. Gio keeps telling us weird stories about his childhood, Mateo keeps resting his hand on my thigh and telling me stories about his ancestors, Gabby is group-facetiming Mark and the girls, and Stefano is fucking around with Gio.

I spot a Taco Bell in front of us and decide it would be a good idea to stop and rest for a couple of minutes. Before I can fully park the car the whole back seat is empty.

"Let's go," I say to Mateo as I take his hand off my lap and turn off the car.

We enter the Taco Bell and find Stefano ordering and our friends sitting at a table talking. We walk towards the table and sit.

"A Mexican magician told his audience he was going to vanish on the count of three. He counted, "Uno, dos..." and disappeared without a tres," Gio starts cracking more jokes.

"I'm done with this kid," I say.

"I am older than you Teddy Bear."

"And? You are still a kid."

"You act like one a lot," Gabby teases.

"Hello? 911, Yes I'd like to report verbal harassment."

"Dumbass, We are in Europe, 911 is only for the United States."

"I knew that," he says scratching his head.

Stefano comes back with 4 boxes and 5 fountain drink cups. We take turns to fill up our cups and we start eating.

"I will drive the rest of the way," Gio says with his mouth full.

When the GPS showed we had 3 more minutes until we reached the destination told us to pull over into the forest. Gio turns the wheel harshly and slowly drives through the forest. When he parks the car we all step out.

Other black cars are parked around us and others keep coming closer. People start piling out of the cars and start stretching.

Mateo hands tan earpieces to everyone and when he is finishes walks away and talks to Stefano and Gio.

After a bit of whispering between them, Mateo speaks up.

"I will go forward and examine. Everyone stay here hidden in the forest and wait for my word."

Mateo grabs my hand and pulls me while he walks away from everyone else.
