131 Chapter 131: You Still Need To Be Punished (1/2)
”What the fuck are you doing?” Ethan shouted as he struggled with Kylie for the wheel.
”Isn't it obvious what I'm doing?” Kylie laughed. ”I am mad as hell. Look, even my lips are shaking!”
”Fine, then,” Ethan relented, as he let go of the wheel. ”If you want to die, then I will follow you. Didn't you hear me when I said that I would follow you through heaven or hell?”
Kylie had the Knight XV running at top speed, and, due to the road conditions, it was fishtailing like mad as it crossed back and forth into oncoming traffic. Luckily for them, the highway had been well maintained, and, other than them, there were almost no other cars on it.
Up ahead, Kylie saw a lot of plastic cones on the road. In a tone of voice that sounded insane, she shouted, ”Yippee Ki yay, mother fucker!” as she plowed through them. Laughing, she finally brought the car to a stop by the side of the road. She looked over at Ethan and was amused to see that his face had turned a light shade of green as if he were about to puke.
Mimicking Garth Algar, she pulled a small bag out of the garbage and offered it to him. ”If you need to spew,” she giggled, ”spew into this!”
”Fuck off!” Ethan cursed as he pushed her hand away. With his other hand, he pushed the door open, leaned his head out, and spewed onto the highway. Once he was done, he turned back to Kylie, pinched her chin, and stared at the bruises on her forehead. ”Are you fucking crazy?” he cried.
”Crazy is as crazy does,” she replied, still giggling. ”I am crazy, but it is you that made me this way!”
Ethan sighed as he let her chin go. He was furious, but he felt like he lacked the energy or desire to fight with her. He looked out the window. He could see that the air was cold, but it was also still. There was no traffic or wind. Everything was quiet but for the sound of their breathing. Ethan leaned forward and turned on the radio, which was set to an oldies station. The Cavallies came on with their classic hit single, Last Kiss, and he began to sing along: ”When I woke up, the rain was pouring down. People were standing all around. Something warm was running in my eyes. But somehow I found my baby that night…”
Annoyed, Kylie flipped the radio off. ”I hate the fucking Cavaliers,” she growled, ”and this song is too depressing. The car seems to be fine, so let's just go back to the hospital and pretend that none of this happened.”
Ethan scowled at her and said, ”We will do as you've suggested, but I am going to drive.”
