Drivers License | Jimmy Donaldson
Requested? By me as usual 
Warnings? It’s really sad tbh and I’m sorry 
Summary: In the wreckage of your ex-relationship with Jimmy, you end up getting your drivers license, only bringing more memories rushing back 
Word Count: 2,436 (it’s a long one bb’s) 
Flashbacks are in italics
“(y/n)!!! Visitor!!” your roommate yells from downstairs.
A few seconds later you hear a knock on your door and as you look up, your best friend Chandler walks through the door. You try to offer him a smile but it's weak as he makes his way over to you. He sits across from you on the bed, crossing his legs as he pulls himself up in front of you.
"Hey bub, how are you holding up?" he asks, placing a hand on your ankle comfortingly.
“Not too bad,” you say smiling lightly. “My driver’s test is tomorrow."
"When you get your license you better drive to my house first."
You smile painfully as a memory of Chandler's best friend and your former boyfriend appears fresh in your mind.
“Are you picking me up today?” you ask Jimmy as you walk around your house trying to put on shoes as you hold the phone to your ear. 
“How else are you gonna get here?” he jokes and you pout even though he can’t see you. 
“That’s mean James. I could always ask Chandler.” 
“I’ll see you in fifteen.” 
You and Jimmy Donaldson, more famously known as mrbeast, were best friends since kindergarten. You both grew up in small-town North Carolina together and have been attached at the hip ever since. You did everything together and hung out constantly if you weren’t busy. If no one could find one of you, you were most likely with the other person. 
When Jimmy eventually became mrbeast and ultimately blew up on youtube, your relationship never changed. You just showed up in the videos now alongside your other childhood friends. You couldn’t imagine a more fun time in your life. You spent practically every day with your best friends making youtube videos while you worked on school. How could it get better? 
“Hey hoe,” you greet getting into Jimmy’s car. 
“That’s how you greet your boyfriend who drives you everywhere?” 
“Someone is sassy today,” you comment, pulling your seatbelt over you as Jimmy pulls out of your driveway. 
“I’m just saying you’re gonna have to get your license eventually.” 
It was true, you were almost 22 with no license which was entirely more embarrassing than you’d like to admit. However, in high school, your parents didn’t put much emphasis on getting a license and as you grew older, you had a bit of anxiety about driving. The whole thing made you anxious, thinking about how you could control a two-ton car and anything could happen. Whether that be to you or someone else it didn’t matter. 
You look over at Jimmy and he offers a sincere smile and you cave looking at it. While you and Jimmy had been best friends since childhood, you had only been dating for about six months now. However, every time you looked at him, your heart jumped just like the first time. 
“You’re right. I’m just nervous is all,” you admit. 
“Well, when you do get your license you have to drive to my house first.” 
“(y/n/n)?” Chandler asks bringing you back to the present. 
Your eyes snap back to him, trying to immediately focus on the present and what was happening now. 
“Yeah sorry,” you say looking back up at him. “You’ll be the first person I drive around when I get my license I promise.” 
Chandler smiles widely at this, giving your leg a squeeze before standing. He presses a kiss to your forehead, telling you that he’s excited to see you drive up tomorrow. When he’s gone, you crawl back under the covers and heave a sigh of relief. 
You snuggle deep into the covers, excited to movie marathon with your favorite marvel movies and no work to plague your mind. You press play on The First Avenger. You sigh happily as the warmth of the blankets sink into your being.
"Darling!" you hear someone call your name and prop your head up to see Jimmy walking through the door.
He heads straight for you, crawling into bed next to you causing your smile to widen. Jimmy throws an arm over your stomach before pressing his head into your neck. He presses a kiss there and you giggle lightly. 
You turn your attention back to the movie, lifting a hand to card through Jimmy's hair as the movie starts to get interesting. Jimmy’s breathing slowly deepens as you continue your slow movements. Before he’s completely knocked out, he sits up leaning on his elbow to look up at you. 
“Baby?” he asks quietly. 
“Hm?” you hum in response. 
“Can we go on a drive?” 
You look down at your sleepy boyfriend wondering how he’s going to be able to operate a vehicle in his current state but nod anyway. At your answer, a sudden burst of energy pushes forth and he’s up in an instant and dragging you along with him. 
You both throw on shoes and you steal one of his hoodies before heading out to his car. Late-night drives weren’t uncommon ever since Jimmy got his license. However, you always felt bad since Jimmy was always the one driving. He insisted he didn’t mind though, always smiling that signature tooth-filled smile when he pulled up to your house. 
Once in the car, Jimmy wastes no time resting his hand on your thigh and running slow circles there as you flip through your music choices. The movements calm you, sending you into a state of bliss, one impossible without Jimmy. 
You sing along to the music quietly as you pass through the suburbs of North Carolina and let the scenery around you fill you up. Each house you pass could be yours and Jimmy’s in the future, every car and front yard had a future with Jimmy in it. 
“Hey,” Jimmy says, catching your attention. 
You turn to look at him and he’s quick to press a kiss to your lips at a stop sign making you smile widely. 
“You know, when you get your license, I’m gonna buy you a car.” 
“Jimmy,” you sigh and he giggles. 
“And, when you get your license and your new car we’re gonna go on even more drives and you’ll be at my house all the time and it’s gonna be great,” he insists, now taking your hand in his and moving it around as he talks. 
“Okay?” he asks, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand. 
“Okay, my love.” 
The next day you wake up early, out of anxious nerves for your driver’s test later. As you slowly get ready, you decide to call Chandler to see what he’s up to. The phone rings twice before Chandler’s familiar accent greets you.
“Hey, whatcha doing today?” you ask, now wandering around your house as you talk. 
 “Uhh,” he hesitates and you can tell he doesn’t want to tell you what he’s doing. 
“It’s fine if you’re with Jimmy, Chan. He’s your best friend too,” you reassure him. 
“Uh yeah, I’m with him. We’re filming videos together today.” 
You relax in bed, book in hand as you pull the covers up to get comfortable. Just as you flip to the page you’re on and scan the words, your phone rings. You sigh quietly, grabbing your phone and answering it without looking. 
“Yeah?” you question knowing only family or close friends call you anymore. 
“Hey, it’s me. Come outside,” Chandler’s familiar voice greets you. 
“Come on Chan I just got comfy,” you pout getting up anyway. 
“Get comfy later alright I’ll see you in a sec.” 
You get up, throwing on shoes and a jacket before heading out of the house. You hop in Chandler’s car, giving him a tired look which he returns with a smile. 
“Why?” you ask. 
“You’ll see.” 
The two of you drive for a while, and you realize you’re headed towards Chris’ house. You’re about to ask what’s going on but when you see Jimmy out front you have a sneaking suspicion there’s a video behind it. 
“Hi love,” Jimmy greets, camera in hand when you two pull up. 
“Hi,” you greet wearily. 
“Do you know what’s going on?” 
“Not a clue,” you say with a slight laugh. 
“Come on I’ll show you.” 
You get out of the car and Jimmy takes your hand in his. He leads you towards Chris’ house and you’re now extremely spectacle of what’s going on. 
“So, you know how valentine’s day was a little while ago right?” Jimmy asks as you walk up the porch steps. 
“I got you a surprise. What do you think it is?” 
“I’m hoping for flowers and food?” 
“Well you actually got one part right,” he says. 
Jimmy steps behind you and tells you to open the door. You cautiously place your hand on the doorknob before swinging it open to see what looks like a million roses surrounding the house, and Chris standing in the middle yelling surprise. 
“Wait Jimmy,” you say instantly turning back and running towards your boyfriend. You hug him tightly and he presses a kiss to your head before pushing you lightly back towards the house. 
“What is this?” you ask stepping further into the room. 
“I bought you 100,000 roses,” Jimmy announces now smiling widely, his cheeks going pink. 
“Honey,” you say rushing back over to him and circling your arms around his neck. He hugs you back, pressing another kiss to the side of your head before you let go and look at the place once more. 
“(y/n)?” you hear Chandler calling you and you’re snapped back to reality once more. 
“Yeah sorry, what was your question?” 
“What time is your driver’s test today?” 
“Around one.”
“You got this darlin.”
You take Chandler’s confident words with you to the DMV and try to settle your nerves the entire time you’re there. You also try to push away every time Jimmy told you that you would get your license. That he believed in you and that on a day like this you would be driving home to him. 
As the workers tell you it’ll be another fifteen minutes you can’t help the onslaught of memories that brought yours and Jimmy’s relationship to a screeching halt. 
“Jimmy?” you call through the expansive warehouse. 
You barely take two steps in before you’re greeted by a slightly flustered Jimmy. You look over your boyfriend, his cheeks and neck flushed red and an uncomfortable smile grace his features. 
“I didn’t know you were coming today,” he states trying to block you from whatever video he was filming. 
“I caught an uber to surprise you. Everything okay?” you step around him unable to contain your anxious eyes when you see what he’s hiding. 
He was setting up some date or what you were hoping was a prank, and at the center of it all was a random girl you had never seen before. 
Your eyes had trailed back and forth between her, the set, and Jimmy and before anyone could say a single word you took off. 
You knew Jimmy had been talking to some random girl for a while at that time. You weren’t possessive over your boyfriend and figured she was a friend, that’s it. But walking on that set felt like Jimmy had taken your heart and smashed it on a table for millions of people to see. 
You had trusted him with everything, and he had betrayed you. He was your motivation for what you were doing right now, overcoming your fear and getting your driver’s license. And in the end, it all meant nothing to him.
You try to shake yourself out of the feeling when the DMV worker walks up to you and at this point, you’re back to a bundle of nerves. You take a couple of deep breaths before following him outside and to your car, hoping against hope you pass. 
“Hey what are you doing in like an hour?” 
“Uh, nothing I’ll be at my house why?” Chandler asks. 
“Cause I wanna drive over,” you say, unable to contain the excitement about finally getting your driver's license. 
“Darlin that’s amazing!!” Chandler cheers excitedly. 
“So I’ll see you in an hour?” 
After hanging up with Chandler and dropping your roommate off at home after getting back from the DMV, you borrow the car and decide to drive around. 
You head off, just wanting to drive and think for a while, and not knowing where you’re going you end up driving the same route Jimmy used to take when you drove around together. 
As you drive, your mind wanders to every drive you took with him and your heart wrenches passing every familiar house and street. You could still hear his giggle when you’d point out houses you wanted to live in together in the future. 
The feeling of his lips on yours whenever he paused at a stop sign or stoplight. His hand tracing your thigh or pressed into your hand, your palms lining up like they were made for each other. 
And every car that looks just like his is him in your mind. And you can still see him, see the both of you laughing and smiling like nothing else mattered in the world. That if you stayed there forever you would be safe. And maybe you should have. 
Subconsciously, the street names start to look familiar and as you keep driving you realize where you’re headed and a faint sob catches in the back of your throat. The street name, his street name appears and you’re sobbing uncontrollably as you drive wishing he was next to you. 
This day was supposed to be one of the best of your life. But it was also supposed to have Jimmy in it. He was supposed to be next to you. You were supposed to head to his house first and drive around and return the millions of rides he gave you since you two were sixteen. 
And now as you pass by his street a piece of you feels like it’s missing. And you don’t know if it’s going to come back. Not only did you lose your soulmate, but your best friend. 
You keep driving and eventually end up at Chandler’s house. He sits outside waiting for you excitedly, and the sight makes you crack a smile through the onslaught of tears. But, when you get out of the car his smile dims. 
"I miss him, Chan," you cry, throwing your arms around his shoulders. 
"I know baby girl. I know," he responds and you sob quietly as he holds you tight.

Chapter 20: Drive Fever
Hello there! My name is Josephine Truce, but my friends and family call me Jone. I have three brothers and I love to make trouble whenever I can, to let them know who’s boss. Here’s a good one.
I stared at the wheel for a good minute before I heard my mom snap her fingers close to me. This pulled me back to reality: “Jone, are you sure you’re ready for this?” I shook my head, “yeah, of course mom. I have to get my driver’s license sooner or later.”
                                                   ----------
I remember like it was yesterday. My mother dropped me off at the driver’s education class, which included a Why You Shouldn’t Drive Under the Influence section. It only took four hours. It was a small room with young drivers and timed-out drivers alike. The instructor explained the procedure, “today will be a simple day. All you have to do is pay attention, most of it is common sense anyways.” She proceeded to explain the road signs, construction worker awareness, and the consequences of driving under the influence. 
After the second hour, we took a quick break. Our instructor brought doughnuts for the class. I took a glazed doughnut, feeling the sticky glace all over my fingers. I quickly grabbed a napkin and met a woman who looked about twelve years old. “How’s it going?” I attempted small-talk. Mind you, I was never good at it. “Good.” She was sharp with her words, not more, no less. However, she seemed kind. “Are you here as a new driver?” I asked, trying to find something meaningful to talk about, that I could do. “No.” She cut the conversation short again. Ugh. It was too late to walk away, but too early to tell what exactly could get her talking. Anyways, we had only five minutes less. I noticed she had writing on her arm. “Is that a family member’s name” I asked curiously. “My daughter’s”. Oh. “How old are you..  I mean she, how old is she?” Oops. “She is five. I’m thirty-five.” Her face lit up. Bingo. “Aw. Oh my, I thought you were a teenager!” She chuckled at my comment. “Yeah, I know, I look twelve. I say it’s all in the good genes from my mother.” She seemed to put her guard down. Finally. I was just going to ask more of her daughter when the instructor prompted us to return to our seats for the remainder of the class. Darn it.
When I got home, I took the driver’s manual and read through the whole thing in four hours. I told everyone at the house to please leave me to read so that I could have mind and soul poured into learning the material. I was excited to take the exam. Once it was finished, I went downstairs to meet mom. She was watching her program with Seth. “Hey mom?” She lifted a finger up and signaled me to wait. I interrupted once more, “mom”. This time she moved her head, ever so slowly. Her eyes met mine. “Yes, darling?” I took a second to respond, her interrupted gaze gave me chills. It wasn’t that she meant to look mean, but she looked like she could throw laser at you through her eyes. It was her focused gaze, moreover. “I’m ready for the test”, and off we went. 
My mom paid for the test and I was left to take the exam online. It was a two-part test. One had to do with road signs, and the other was the rest of the road guidelines. I passed the road signs part with flying colors. The other one I failed by a few points. I decided to take it once more. I passed the written exam and was officially on the road to success, no pun intended.
Six months passed by and it was time to get my driver’s license. I had practice enough with my parent’s car. I drove around as much as I could. First, only in the day time. Then, while it was raining, or close to dusk. Soon enough, I drove everywhere with my mom or dad, or oldest brother on the passenger side. It took a while for my mom not to freak out every time I went behind the wheel, but she came around. Now, it was time to take my active exam for the driver’s license.
I was nervous. Mostly of failing. I didn’t want to forget a single thing from the test. As we drove to the DMV, I rehearsed the steps in my head. First, put your seat belt on. . . I was ready, but oddly calm. Is that normal? I hesitated to get out of the car.
I stared at the wheel for a good minute before I heard my mom snap her fingers close to me. This pulled me back to reality: “Jone, are you sure you’re ready for this?” I shook my head, “yeah, of course mom. I have to get my driver’s license sooner or later.”
I passed!!
