Shut Up & Drive// Annaleigh & Aaron

It had been great. The party had been great; one of the best parties Aaron had been to in a while, great lighting and music, and enough drinks to go all around. Aaron had come with a group of his friends who knew the person who was throwing it and had been enjoying the time like everyone else had.

…Until the cops came.

Everything seemed to instantly die when the red and blue lights flashed through the windows. The room had fallen silent; quiet enough that you could have heard a pin drop on to the ground, until there was two solid knocks on the door and everyone went crazy.

The whole crowd dropped what they were doing and took off running for anyway out of the place, whether it be a backdoor or an window. People were pushing and shoving friends and foes out of their ways, all just desperate not to get caught.

It had been no different for Aaron, who all too well knew what it was like to spend the night in a jail cell and had much better plans for the night. He’d taken a run for the nearest window, barely noticing that he’d left his friends somewhere behind in the building, and made a bee line to were his borrowed motorcycle was sitting.

His heart was racing and felt as though it was ready to jump up into his throat, but that was the way he always felt when he wound up in a situation like this and he knew he just had to push the feeling down so it was out of the way if he wanted to get himself out of this circumstance.

Aaron bit his lower lip as he search his pockets for the keys, quickly jabbing them into the ignition and hopping on the bike when he found them. The bike roared to life and surprisingly he could hear the shouts of a cop in the distance telling him to leave the bike and put his hands on his head.

But like hell he was going to!

He put the bike into gear and took off towards the road, gasping in surprise as something grabbed him from behind and without realize what he was even doing he slowed the bike and looked over his shoulder, even more surprised to find a young woman sitting behind him, clinging onto his jacket with one major death grip.

“..Wha—“ Aaron began to mumble out, but was quickly cut off by her.

“Drive! Fucking drive!”

Blind Date // Gabriella & Aaron

The sound of the busy city filled Aaron’s ears as he sat in front of a small coffee shop. He watched the cars fly past blaring their horns, trying to cut each other off in the narrow streets and sighed, certain there was going to be some kind of accident soon.

                “Can I refill your cup, sir?” Came a quiet voice from behind him and Aaron practically leaped out of his skin. He quickly turned his gaze from the road to the owner of the voice and nodded when he discovered it was only one of the waitresses. “Yeah…yeah, that would be just great.” He said as he ran a hand over his face and watched the waitress refill his empty mug sitting on the small table in front of him.

                He waited until she’d finished pouring the steaming hot java into his mug before thanking her and checking the time on his phone. He bit his lower lip as his eyes fell upon the glowing numbers, indicating that it was now 5:00pm. With a flip of his hand shoved the iPhone back into his pocket and dropped his head into his hands, staring down at the white table cloth, noticing the faded out stains that must have been wrestled with many times in vain of trying to rid them.

                Wow. He must be really bored…

                “She said four thirty, I know she did…” Aaron muttered to himself, thinking over the messages he and a girl he’d meant on some dating site had been sending each other. He’d joined the site, really mostly as a joke -something to tell his buddies about and have a good laugh- up until he’d met her… They’d instantly gotten along and their conversations had been long and interesting, making Aaron itch to actually meet her in person; he’d asked several times before she had actually agreed and they had planned to meet each other here at 4:30pm…but where was she?

                He was beginning to believe that she was never coming, that this was all some kind of set up…like she was hour and ten minutes late, a few minutes he could understand -he was rarely on time for anything!- but over an hour?! Something had to be going on…

With a soft moan he stretched and pick up the mug full of coffee and took a large sip, making a face at the bitter taste, realizing he’d forgotten to actually put anything like milk or cream in it. Oh, well. Sucks just like today… He thought and shrugged, continuing to consume the drink, barely noticing the movement in front of him as a person approached his table. He finished it and set the empty cup down, looking up and freezing it surprise at the girl he seen standing in front of him. “Hey!” Aaron grinned and stood.

So she had decided to show…

Got'cha! // Jean & Aaron

Aaron ran down the dark street, a hint of laughter in his heavy breaths. Sirens blared farther down the road and he knew the cops were looking for him. He still would never understand their deal, especially now. Like c’mon, he and his friends only set off a few firecrackers in the streets, why was it such a big deal anyway? It was just a bunch of fun!

He followed the sidewalk but soon realized that was a bad idea when he seen the red and blue lights reflecting in the big glass window of the small stores he ran past. CRAP! He screamed in his head; sitting in the back of a police car was far from any of the ideas he had planned for tonight! His eyes flashes back and forth and he laughed out loud when he seen a small alley, which he hurriedly turned into and speed down almost tripping over an old soup can in the dark.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped out onto the sidewalk on the other side of the alley and the street lights’ light was able to touch the pavement so he could see where he was going. He could hear the sirens fade off in the distance and he patted himself on the back. I got away! I got away! I got awa-

A flash of white took over Aaron’s vision and sudden pain spread through his face, causing him to hobble backward, which soon lead to him falling to the hard ground clenching a hand over his nose. Aaron blinked several times trying to clear his vision of all the little stars that spun above his head. What just happened?! He looked up, still blinking, and was surprised when he seen the outline of someone standing in front of him, his vision still too blurred to make out much of anything. “Whaa…?” Aaron managed to drag out and rubbed his hand over his sore face sure that some bruises were already appearing.

Luke & Aaron// Movin' In

Aaron looked around his small Las Vegas apartment, eyes searching for anything of value that hadn’t been locked up yet knowing that if he left anything out he would soon find it demolished. His cousin, Luke, was supposed to be moving in today and could arrive at any minute, and Aaron was dreading it.

It wasn’t because he hated his cousin, he didn’t hate his cousin. It was just that he’d never fully got along with him; he didn’t even really understand him either. The kid was the complete and utter opposite of Aaron and they always seemed to smack heads without even trying to, but for the most part Aaron was pretty sure that Luke didn’t even realize that they were.

He picked up some wayward tools and brought them over to the closet where his toolbox was hidden and put them into the box before heading over to the kitchen. He opened the silver fridge and took out a beer and in one shift movement popped off the cap and began to greedily gulp down the liquid. I might as while relax a bit before Luke comes and drives me through the roof, Aaron sunk down on the sofa and continued to drink and turned on the TV with the remote and flipped through the channels at amazing speed.

Aaron sighed when he’d been through every channel and didn’t find anything interesting; all it seemed to be was friggin’ cop shows or soap operas, where was the hockey?!  His fingers froze as he began to press down on the OFF button on the remote as the dull sound of someone knocking on the door echoed throughout the room. Aaron instantly stiffed up, Luke was here! He flinched as he slowly approached the door and pasted a smile on his weary face before opening the door. “Heya, cos.” He greeted through gritted teeth.
