My eyes fluttered open as the sun blinded me, turning my head into my pillow. Wait.... this isn't a pillow.
I patted down the area where my "pillow" was with my eyes half squinted. All I saw was fuzzy black and felt something hard and moving. "Having fun there?"
"EEEP!" I screeched and flopped onto the floor, shaking the whole bus with a loud thud. I looked up from the ground and saw a very suprised Andy sitting on the couch. I blushed and hung my head a little at the thought. I fell asleep on Andy, akwardly patted his chest, and just scared him shitless. Aren't I talented?
"You... you okay?" he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Mhmm." I blushed even more, avoiding eye contact.
The curtain to the bunks flung open dramatically and Jake stood in a white tank top and basketball shorts, looking quite pissed. "Who did that?" he questioned, odviosly half awake.
"I think it was the boogie man." I said while trying to hold in my laughter.
"I'll kick his ass in the morning..." he mumbled and walked back to his bunk and passed out.
Andy was laughing so hard it was silent and I attempted to giggle quietly. He wiped away a tear and whispered, "I think we should go get breakfast and let them sleep," he motioned to the bunks.
I nodded and tip toed out the door to and walked on the pavement of a truck parking lot. Ashley must have parked here last night and went to bed. We started to head across the street to a small diner.
Once we entered and sat down in a booth, we saw the bus shake from the diner and a wild CC popping out and heading to us.
"Hey guys" he mumbled and sat in the booth with us.
"Tired much?" I asked.
"Shoosh, your too loud," and he put his head down on the table.
I shook my head and shoved his shoulder playfully. A waitress walked over to our table and began to eye Andy, especially his arms.
"So," she started while still staring, "what do you fine folks want?"
CC lifted his head with eyes closed. "Coffee, eggs, french toast, and 2 sides of bacon." He stated and slammed his head back onto the table.
The waitress scribbled that down and looked to me and Andy.
"Pancakes please," we said at the same time.
He began to blush and spoke up, "Except I would like coffee with that,"
"And I would like hot chocolate with mine too," I said.
And with that, the lady nodded and walked away.
CC seemed to have passed out, he didn't even respond to Andy poking him in the ribs. I laughed when an aweful snore like sound came from him.
I messed around with some small sugar packets on the table and looked up to see Andy staring at me and blushing. He quickly looked away and blushed even harder when he saw I was staring back.
"See something you like?" I giggled.
"And if I did, what would you do?" he teased back.
"Logic maybe?" I said. I had odviosly confused him and he just shook his head and laughed.
I laughed along nervously until Andy stopped and just fiddled with a sugar packet in my hand to keep me distracted.
Our food came and CC sprang to life, wide eyed and bushy haired. "Coffee." he said as he breathed in the sense.
Then he very quickly inhaled his food while I and Andy calmly munched on our pancakes. I swear you could see food flying.
Andy finished and payed for our food, and got a box of bacon for everyone else sleeping in the bus.
We got out of the diner quickly and onto the bus, with everyone awake except for Clementine.
"Someone's finally back, greedy pigs," Ashley said.
"Well you snooze you loose. Should've woke up and you could have gotten food." I shrugged and sat at the booth with Jinxx and CC. Ashley was on the floor next to my pillow case, Andy and Jake on the couch.
"Don't act so butt hurt, we brought back bacon." Andy plopped the styrofoam box onto the table.
The curtain to the bunks flung open immidiantly. "I heard bacon." Clementine said with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I'm gonna step outside for a quick smoke," Andy said and popped off the bus.
Clementine shuffled quickly and began to stuff her face with greasy bacon along with those who have been bacon deprived.
All except one, which happened to be Ashley. I peeped around the table to see him digging through my pillow case.
"What you doing there?" I asked him.
"Digging through your stuff, what else does it look like?" He said not even looking in my direction. "Hey what's this?"
I bent my neck over the table and looked at Ashley's hand. It was the picture. The one from above my dresser. I felt the color drain from my face and my mind reset.
Clementine sprung up from the booth and walked over to Ashley. "Put that back now."
"Why? I want to know what it is. I can see Emily and people that look like her family, but what is it?" he pushed.
"It's nothing you need to know about and nothing that Emily is going to tell you right now. Please, put it back." she said even more angerly.
"It's just a question!" he exclaimed.
She grabbed the picture with her hand in attempt to snatch it, but Ashley didn't release his grip.
"Let go NOW!" she yelled.
"It's just a picture!" he tried to snatch it back.
Then the last picture my whole family took together ripped in two.
A/N : Hey everyone <3 I know it's been forever since I last updated and I'm so sorry for that... I don't know what I had planned for this chapter since I typed it up on my phone instead of my laptop. But I wanted to address and thank for all of the positive comments I've been getting lately! I hope this can make up for my lack of chapters *hugs* ~ Rebecca
