Lee's POV

"God Lee, how much crap did you pack?!" Parker snaps as he tries to fit my large suitcase into the trunk for the fifth time.

"Hey, don't hate the suitcase. It's stores all of my personality" I say smugly as I hop in the front seat.

"You have a shit load of personality" Parker mutters as he finally gets the suitcase into the trunk.

I roll my eyes as I turn up the radio. Parker gets into the driver seat and started the engine.

"Why can't I drive?" I pout as we take off.

"Because you'd kill us both."

"Who knows, I could be a even better driver than you"

"You're only fifteen" Parker says with a grin as he messes up my hair.

I quickly slap his hand away and rearrange my hair.

Parker scowls, "Dude, how much gel do you use? Like ten tons??"

"It's the good kind, it's all natural and was made for guys who had d-"

"English please" Parker said.

I sigh. "It is English, moron. Your tiny brain just can't understand my great vocabulary-"

"It was just a metaphor, Lee. Take a chill pill" Parker told me with a smile.

"Which pill is that again?" I joke as I pretend to look through my bag for it.

We both burst out laughing.

"Wow Lee, I just realized how much I missed you" Parker says with a grin.

"Everyone misses Lee Adams" I tell him as I put my hands behind my head.

Parker just smiles as we drive down the highway.

~*~

"Are we there yet?" I ask for the fifteenth time. We've been driving for about four hours, and I'm bored.

B. O. R. E. D.

"No" Parker says, annoyed.

I sigh and turn up the radio.

Five minutes later...

"Now are we there?"

"No dimwit"

"Now?"

"No."

"How bout now?"

"Still no, Lee. How about you count tress or something?"

One tree... Two trees... Three trees...

Five trees... Eight trees.... Twenty-two trees........

Five-hundred-and-six-billon-who-gives-a-fuck-trees.

"Now are we there?"

"God Lee! Just shut up!" Parker yells in frustration.

I just laugh to myself, this is kinda fun. Much better than counting who-gives-a-fuck-trees.

"Oh! Oh! I see water! Nooowwww are we there??" I ask.

"For the hundredth time, Lee, NO"

"Then how much longer?"

Parker just groans.

I groan back and kick my feet up on top of the dashboard.

"Hey, hey! Feet off the merchandise!" Parker says as he pushes my feet off.

"Okay, okay" I tell him as I turn up the radio, "no need to be a drama queen."

He just rolls his eyes as he drives. Gotta love that brotherly love.

~*~

About two naps and three hot dogs later... I change the radio station and start to hum to a Christmas song. After a song or two, I just couldn't hold in the wicked awesomeness of Lee Adams.

"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle bell ROCK!" I start to sing out loud.

"Good god, not again" Parker mumbles.

"Jingle bells swing and Jingle bells ring!

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun!

Now the Jingle Bell Hop has begun!!!" I sing as I dance in my seat.

"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ROCK!!" I start up again.

"Lee! Shut up!" Parker groans.

"Oh come on, you know you want to" I say as I nudge him.

"Jingle Bells chime in Jingle Bell time!

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square!" I sing. I then take off my shoe and take in a deep breath and say,

"IN THE FROSTY AIR" I sing out dramatically into my shoe that I use as a microphone.

As the next verse comes on, I nudge Parker. "Come on Parker! Put that 'wonderful' singing voice to use!" I tell him.

He sighs. But then he does something I never actually thought he'd do.

He singed. He also took my microphone. That little bastard.

"It's a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away!" He sings dramatically into the 'microphone'.

We both burst out laughing as he gives me back my shoe. I turn down the radio as I put my shoe back on.

"Wow, you have an amazing voice" I tell him sarcastically.

"I know, I was thinking about going on American Idol" He says with a grin.

Parker then focused back on driving as we got closer to the city, I frown. That's not the city we need to go to.

"Why are we heading all the way out here? Aren't we going to Emmett's apartment?" I ask him.

"Look, there is no why I'm going to drive another three hours. We're staying at a hotel for the night, and since it's near the beach I thought we could-"

"Really?? We're going to the beach???" I ask him excitedly, distracted by the word beach.

"Uh, if we did go it would be tomorrow, and only for a couple of hours" Parker replies.

"Cool... Which hotel? Is there hot girls?"

Parker gives me a sideways glance with a smile.

"Actually, I can't remember the exact name, but I have the directions on my iPhone. I got us reservations" Parker says, clearly proud of himself.

"Pft, you? Get reservations? We all know you're not that smart" I tell him.

"I did it online, it was pretty simple and I...." Parker begins.

I kinda zone out of our conversation, thanks to my ADHD.

I look out and see that we were almost in the city. Is there any trees in the city? And if there is... Would they be called city trees?

Speaking of trees....

One tree.... Two trees... Five trees... Nine Trees... Ten trees.... Twelve trees... Twenty-I'm-bored-out-of-my-fucking-mind trees.... Twenty-five trees.... Twenty-eight trees...

"We'll be there in about ten minutes" Parker says, making me lose my place. Dang it. Now I have to start over!

One-I'm-bored-out-of-my-fucking-mind-tree...

"You're not cussing inside your head again, are you?" Parker says with a grin.

My face turns bright red. "Uh- Well- Um- No?" I tell him.

He chuckles as we pull into the hotel. We get out after he parks. I laugh to myself.

Parker parked.

I go to the back of the car and tried to get my suitcase and his bag out of the trunk, while Parker went inside to get out room key. When he came back, we grabbed my stuff and walked into the hotel, pass the hot desk assistant (and of course I winked at her) and then up the elevator as it played the boring music.

When we arrived to our room, I quickly run into the room to get the first choice of beds, but of course, Parker had the same idea.

We both race inside, I immediately run to the bed by the window. Parker was right on my tail. I jump on the bed without a moments hesitation.

"Ha! Mine! All mine!" I brag as I roll around on my hotel bed.

"Pig" He mutters as he jumps onto the bed by the wall.

"Ah, there's that brotherly love" I say with a smile.

~*~

We ordered a bunch of room service and rented about five movies. We pigged out all night eating pizza, milk shakes, fries, and soda.

Around midnight, we finally decided to go to bed. All the lights were off and it was quietly peaceful. I watch the city lights down below.

"Hey Parker" I whisper.

"Yeah?" He whispers back sleepily.

"Thanks" I whisper back.

There was a moment of silence, and then, "For what?"

"For picking me up. Dealing with me. Making this fun" I whisper back. "I know I can be a pain" I add.

I hear a sigh. "Lee, you’re not a pain. Every minute with you is fun and exciting. You add the splash of crazy that I need in my life" Parker whispers back.

I smile.

"And tha-" I start.

"Yeah, yeah, just go to bed" Parker said.

"Night Loser" I joke.

"Night Moron" Parker says.

I smile as I fall asleep.

~*~

"Lee Adams, did you take your medicine?!" Parker asks me.

Pft, medicine? Who needs medicine? Old people do. I'm not old.

"Yeeeesssss" I lie as I jump up and down on my bed. The sunlight was just starting to shine through the window. It was pretty early in the morning. Actually.. The window almost looks like a rainbow... I feel kinda loopy today. Is this how it feels to get high?

"Lee." Parker says sternly.

I stop jumping and stand on my bed. I put my hand on my hips. "Parker." I say sternly. But I couldn't keep a straight face, so I start to laugh as I fall down onto my bed.

Parker grunts and grabs my bag. He unzips it and looks through it. He pulled out the pills.

"When's the last time you had your meds?" He asked me.

Meds... Peds... Keds.... Jeds.... They all rhyme. I laugh to myself.

"Lee" Parker snaps.

"Huh? Jeds?" I ask him.

"No, Lee, MEDS!!" Parker says.

"Pft, those are for old people" I tell him as I look out the window.

"Lee. I'm not going to say this again"

"Say what again?"

"Take your damn medicine!!!" Parker tells me frustrated.

"Ohhh, yeah, I'll probably need those" I say as I walk over to him. Parker gets me a glass of water and gives me the pills. I take them and sallow them whole. "Thanks" I mutter.

"So, beach today?" Parker asks as he re-zips my bag.

I light up like the Fourth of July. I nod quickly and go through my suitcase. I take out my swimsuit and run to the bathroom. "Be out in ten!" I yell back at him. I hear him chuckle as I close the bathroom door.

I'm still a little loopy though, I can't see straight. But I quickly change and comb my hair out anyways.

Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach!

I step out of the bathroom and throw my clothes into my suitcase. Parker was already in his swimsuit when I got out. He hung up the phone he was using and smiled up at me. "Breakfast is downstairs when your ready to eat" Parker said.

"Well then come on!!" I tell him. We both grab shirts and head downstairs.

~*~

"Okay, here are the rules. We're only staying here for about three hours and then we have to head back to get ready if we want to get back to Emmett's on time. No alcohol at anytime. Tell me when you're going in the water. Tell me if you go anywhere. And call me if anything happens" Parker tells me as we make it to the beach after breakfast. I calmed after awhile and now I feel a little better, as loopy as before.

"Yeah, yeah" I say as I take off my shirt and put on sunscreen. I look around nervously at the crowd.

"There's a lot of people here" I say nervously. I felt my barriers collapsing.

"Hey, hey, Lee. Look at me" I hear Parker say.

I look at him. I didn't realize that I wasn't breathing until I was sucking in air like a madman.

"We'll go over there" Parker points to my left. I look and see a deserted area of the ocean. I grin up at Parker.

It's Lee time.

I run down the beach and jump in the water. The salt air fills my lungs as I breath in happily. The water was nice and cool.

I watch the surfers surf in the distance. Dang. I would of brought my surfboard if I knew we were going swimming. That sucks.

I watch Parker get in the water after me. He had a glint in his eyes. Oh god. I know that look.

I quickly swim away as he comes towards me. I duck underwater.

"Leeeee, you can run, but you can't hide" I hear Parker say.

~*~

"Did you have fun at the beach?" Parker asked once we were back into out hotel room. "Oh yeah, dude, our sand castle was huge!" I tell him about the sand castle. "Yep, I remember it like you do. I still have some damn sand in my eyes" Parker tells me. I grin as I change out of my swimsuit and into my clothes for the day.

"So we only have a three hour drive today, not very long" Parker says.

I pack my suitcase up. "I'll still annoy the crap out of you though" I say with a grin.

"Fanfuckingtastic" I hear Parker mumble. I laugh as I pack up everything.

We stop by the hot front-desk lady and returned our room key. I would totally go for her, but she's around Parker's age. Not mine. Blah.

As we make it to the car, we put our bags inside and then we were on our way again.

"Ah, in a galaxy far, far away, two brothers sent out on a adventure of a lifetime. There were epic fighting battles, hot dogs, and many hot babes. They fought their way through their awesome hotel rooms and beaches. But one enemy stands in their way... BOREDOM!" I say dramatically as we drive out of the city.

"Dude, we've only been driving for, like, five minutes!" Parker says with a sigh.

"Yeah, so that means for five minutes I've been bored" I tell him. Duh.

Parker just shakes his head as we drive down the highway.

I watch the ocean and city fade away in the distance. I turn up the radio as Christmas music comes on.

"Lee, I swear to god, if you sing again I'll throw you out of this car and into the ocean" Parker tells me.

I sigh. "Fine, you're such a turtle"

"Pft, turtle?" Parker asks me with a laugh.

"Yeah, they're big, fat, and slow" I said with a grin.

Parker just laughs as we listen to the radio. I pull out one of my comics from my bag to read. At least it's something to do.

As I read, I think back to what it'd be like to have superpowers. Would I be super smart? Flying? Super fighter and strength?

I would want super strength. Psychically and mentally.

I look at my scars. My battle scars. They were from a while ago, when mom was still alive. The doctor I went to told me he could easily get rid of them. But I like them. They're a reminder. It's like the one connection of me and my mom. She was the only one who knew I cut myself. I don't do it anymore, of course. But it's a nice reminder to stay strong.

And then I got bored again. Stupid ADHD.

"Hey Parker" I say.

No response.

"Parker"

"Park-er"

"Parks"

"P-man"

"Parker"

"Adams"

"Parkerrrrrrr"

"P-A-R-K-E-R"

"Turtle!"

"What?" Parker snaps.

"How many cats do you think I'll have?" I ask him.

He rolls his eyes. "Uh, I don't know, maybe ten?"

"Pft, Ten cats?"

"Yeah, I could see you as a cat lady"

"You mean cat man"

Parker pondered at this. "uh, no. You'd be a cat lady" he laughs.

I sit up straight, "Well, if I was a cat lady, I'd be a proud one" I say smugly.

Parker laughs as I turn down the radio. It's to loud. Plus, I'm kinda tired. I wonder if turtles ever get tired. Or if they just suddenly pass out. I'll have to google it.

As I think about sleeping turtles, I drift off to sleep.

~*~

"Wake up Sleeping Beauty"

I groggily sit up and rub my eyes. I look around and see that we have arrived at an apartment building.

"Ready?" I hear Parker ask.

"Y-yeah" I stutter as I start to fully wake up.

We both grab our bags and my suitcase and brought it inside.

As we rode the elevator up, "You're so cute when you sleep. You even do a little purr" Parker teases.

"At least I don't snore like a lion" I grin at him as I remember the night before at the hotel when his snoring was so loud, it could wake up the whole floor.

I laugh as we exit the elevator and walk down the hallway.

We stop at the door.

"Now, you better be sure as hell you'll be on your best behavior, okay?" Parker asks me.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be the charming little Lee. Now let me in, I smell food" I tell him.

He then opened the door and we walk in.

I stop dead in my tracks.

A girl about Parker's age was singing and dancing to a song on top of the coffee table with a cinnamon roll in hand.

"Well this is different" I say out loud, smirking. I've never met or seen someone who could be as crazy as me. Parker was frozen behind me.

"Um" she says and freezes. The song stops. She looks down at her cinnamon roll in hand and her feet on the table.

"So this is Emily" Parker tells me, trying not to laugh.
