Chapter Nineteen: In the Middle of Nowhere

I went on more dates with Zayn. Each day my stomach got a little bigger and a little harder to hide, but I didn't mind. Zayn and I were pretty much committed to each other but nothing official.

"LEXI!" My ears rang from Lou's incredibly loud scream.

"I'm up." I growled and stuck my feet out of the bunk and hoisted myself down. "Hi boys." I yawned, entering the kitchen.

"Hello sunshine." Zayn laughed. I giggled and sat beside him at the table. He adopted the nickname "sunshine" for me, because in reality I was a grump in the morning. He kissed my temple and rested his hand on my belly. Out of the corner of my eye I watched Niall trying not to look or be jealous. My lip pouted slightly. I wanted to get my hair cut...but I had no friend to come with me.

"I'm sad now." I frowned playfully.

"What's wrong?" Snickered Lou.

"I miss Dani and El." I sighed, fighting a giggle from escaping my pouted lips.

"Dani had to work." Liam shrugged and scratched his scalp. I rolled my eyes.

"Guys! They're like my bffs for-like-EVER!" I mocked a teenage girl. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Melissa and Harry flirting a little. I snapped my head in their direction. I scowled at them and they instantly looked down. I pulled Melissa down from her standing position to the level of my lips. "Don't let me catch that. EVER again." I hissed. She frowned and stared at me for a moment. It was like we were in this bubble. The boys around us were paying no attention. I snapped our moment and turned back to the group.

"Uh oh..." I heard the bus driver mutter under his breath. I turned my head in that direction as the bus started to slow down and roll to a complete stop as engine began to wheez and stop completely.

"What just happened?" Zayn asked. In a split second, the power within the bus went off. I could already feel the crisp mid-morning air begin fill the unheated bus. I walked over to the power strip where all of us charge our phones. I tried to turn any of our phones on. I inspected the cord for a reason for why they didn't.

"Damn it!" I snarled. The boys looked at me in alarm,

"Someone unplugged our power strip! Our phones haven't been charging at all this whole night!" I growled.

"What?" Everyone gasped.

"How do we get help???" Melissa insisted. I rolled my eyes and put on a pair of comfortable sweats and my special hoodie from Zayn and a gray beanie to cover my ears from the biting wind.

"We're gonna go get it." I said and waited as everyone soon understood my plan and jumped up to get their hoodies and beanies. I grabbed my phone and slid it in my pocket. Maybe by some miracle it has a little bit of battery. "Leggo!" I said grabbing my white Ray-Bans. The boys and Melissa followed behind me. I looked up at a big sign in front of me. "Nearest town in..." The breath left my mouth.

"Two fucking miles?!" Niall groaned. I glared at him.

"Little ears!" I hissed motioning to my belly and Melissa. He went pink and rolled his eyes.

"Time to walk bitches!" Louis exclaimed with a snap of his fingers and began walking.

"Louis the Tommo." I groaned as I trudged behind him.

"What state are we in?" Zayn came up beside me.

"Um those states in the middle. Like okla-something or another." He said.

"Oklahoma, Zayn." Melissa giggled. I clapped my hands.

"You took American geography yes?" I asked her.
