Jason and Justin

The motel part 2

                           Jason POV

As we entered the motel room I debated if I should put Justin in the corner for not getting out of the car when told. I had decided not to spank him since he did eventually get out of the car but I felt that his disobedience was deserving of some kind of punishment.

But another part of me felt that I should go easy on him. After all he genuinely freaked out by whoever he saw in the window. Which must have been pretty terrifying for him to act like that.

And it did not seem fair punishing for being scared.

Plus mercy and compassion were just as important as punishment and discipline.

"There's only one bed." Justin said pulling me from musings. "This room only has one bed."

"I know." I said none chantly.

"Why didn't you get a room with two beds?" He asked with a look of discomfort across his face.

"Because they didn't have one with two beds." I answered.

"Did you ask?"

"Yes I asked." I said with impatience in my voice.

"And you still choose to get a room here." My brother said looking at me as if I had purple singing warts.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because it was cheap." I answered.

"Come on man I want to sleep in my own bed." He said in a whiny tone.

"And you will when we get to college." I said. "But for tonight we are sharing a bed."

"I don't want to share a bed."

"Then feel free to sleep on the floor."  I said as placed my bag on the dresser. I would unpack but I did not see the point since we were only staying one night. "Or the bathtub. Your choice. "

"This is stupid." He complained bitterly as he sat down at a small table.

"Its not the end of the world Justin." I told him as I walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Feels like it."

"Stop being so melodramatic." I said he replied with a dirty look. "I'm.goimg to call mom and dad  and let them know we got here."  I dialed our phone number and it rang three times and then answering picked up. "Hey mom and dad it's me Jason."

"Like they don't know your voice." My brother smirked.

"Just wanted to let you know that Justin and I made it to the hotel."

"Like they care." Justin said under his breathe.

"I'll call you guys later tonight." I said. "Love you bye."

"Love you bye." Justin said mockingly.

I hung up the phone. "Come on let's get something to eat."

Justin stood up and asked "Can we get Chinese?"

"No." I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder and guided him towards the door. "But if you behave yourself we can go out for Chinese tomorrow night."

"Okay." He conceded even though he really wanted Chinese. I don't blame. I would have minded Chinese myself but we were in the middle of nowhere and I doubted there was a Chinese restaurant around for miles. It had been a good hour since I had even seen a McDonald's or a Burger King.

I noticed Justin's body tense as passed by room six of the motel. He swallowed hard and moved off of the sidewalk onto the parking lot. He did not step back onto the sidewalk until we passed room.
