Jacob and Sam were on a long car ride home after the holidays. They had been at Jacob's mother's place over Labour Day weekend and were heading back to their apartment for the start of school the next day.
Jacob and Sam had shared a dorm room in first year. They had been inseparable since then and once the year was done had decided to rent an apartment together. 3 years later they still shared that apartment together. While they swore they were just friends other people had their doubts, and the roommates were about to find out why.
After their traditional stop at the PetroCan station about half way home to fill up on gas and buy snacks the boys ran into traffic. Slowly crawling their way steadily home Jacob was enjoying his blue raspberry Big Gulp and munching on coffee beans to stay awake.
"You should slow down. We're a long way from a bathroom and who knows how long we'll be stuck in this traffic." Sam warned Jake.
"You worry to much. I've got a bladder of steal. Besides I can always pull over and piss in a field," Jacob reassured him.
Well an hour and a half later of painfully slow traffic the boys found themselves stuck in the middle of a long, under water, tunnel when the traffic officially stopped moving.
"Fuck" Jake swore.
"It's not that bad, we'll get home eventually. In the mean time I'll plug in my iPod since there's no radio down here" Sam reassured him.
"It's not that. Don't laugh but I really have to pee" Jacob said, clearly uncomfortable.
"Oh, well I told you not to drink your slushie so fast."
"Geeze thanks, it wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't gotten bored and punched it full of holes. At least I could have pissed in the cup if it was hole."
"Whoops" Sam chuckled.
The traffic slowly started pulling forward. Then stopped again.
