Golden

As the long road stretched out before us we knew it was going to be a long trip. The trees had a golden tint and the grass glistened with morning dew.
The van was silent, the four in the back was sound asleep, the passenger just hanging in.
"Alex," I started quietly.
"Mhm?" He lifted from resting on his hand and turned to me.
"Have you even heard about the record label before?"
"No, but hey if they wanna sign us, great." He answered sleepily.
"Aren't you worried at all that this is going to turn out badly?" I speculated.
"Aren't you suppose to support us?"
"I am! I mean, I am, but don't you want to start out right? What if the record label screws you over?" As a friend since childhood, I have a right to be worried, right?
"A lot of bands sign to another label when they get bigger, we're just starting out. We won't be here for long."
I smiled and looked over at him for a split second.
He had stars in his eyes, they're going to going to be big.
I turned the radio up just to an under sound.
I placed the Blink-182 CD that was placed over my head in a CD holder.
I adjusted my seat slightly to prepare for the long drive.
A few minutes later I looked over to find Alex sound asleep.
It's just me now, perfect.
I hummed to the music and got lost in my own paradise.
Occasionally, I'd dance slightly to the fast paced songs forgetting there were several possible eyes watching me.
"You're amazing y'know?" Jack spoke with a low tone.
I stopped my current dancing, "I thought you were asleep." My face flushed with red.
"Couldn't sleep, had a pretty bad dream last night."
"What happened? They say dreams have a meaning- relation or something like that."
"I dunno, just something like I lost my favorite teddy bear or, uh, something."
"I bet that means you're afraid to lose someone." I said with a serious face that soon broke into a smile. I looked in the rear view mirror to notice Jack smiling too. "I'm serious." I said with a short laugh as I watched Jack mock my thought. "Alright physiologist, physicist or whatever the hell that is, who am I afraid of losing?"
"I don't know, who is the most important person to you right now? Who would you consider your teddy bear?"
"No one, I mean I don't have a girlfriend, I just kinda have you guys." He slightly rubbed the back of his neck.
"Come on, someone's on your mind. Jacky has a crush." I sang.
He looked at me through the mirror annoyed.
He then ran his hands over his face, "alright, maybe there's someone."
"Who is she er- who is he, who are they?" I asked excited.
"I'm not telling you." He retorted scrunching up his nose.
