One thing I had learnt from this road trip..never to do another one. If my ears weren't bleeding and my brain wasn't fried, then I was fucking invincible.

For the past hour all I had heard was Dustin and Steve argue over shit I didn't even understand, Billy had clung to my side the entire ride and got scowled off of Robin for it because he was apparently 'hogging me', max and Lucas were either snogging the faces off of one another or shouting at Dustin for being annoying and Kathleen was trying to talk to me and Billy about how she hates the new Paige and what she's become. 

Just for a bit of peace and quiet, I allowed them to stop off at a connivence store only half a mile away from the cabin.

"You not coming to get anything?." Billy asked as he was the last one to leave the vehicle, stopping half way out of the door to look back at me.

"No. I'm all good." I said with a weak smile, in my own little bubble.

"You sure?." He asked and raised his brow, suspicious of my words.

"Actually, get me a lemon soda." I said, just trying to get him off of my back.

"...really?." Billy snorted at my choice of drink.

"Don't hate on the lemon soda." I said with a fake hurt expression and shook my head with a laugh.

Billy laughed and finally left me be to the quiet erupting around me, even with Claire asleep on the small couch at the back. It wasn't that I feeling necessarily down or anything, I just tended to get overwhelmed a lot and having had planned all of this and it nearly going miserably wrong, I was still a little stressed. Not to say I was missing Eddie a lot also, wondering when I'd next be able to call him, never mind see him.

I knew that what he was doing for Wayne was important and to be honest, it was adorable, but I still hated being away from him for this long. I hated not being able to rely on him to cheer me up or reassure me that I was the most beautiful thing that he'd ever lay eyes on. It sucked being 492 miles away from the one person I've ever truly loved.

Being in the same vehicle as Steve and Dustin also sucked too. They would either bicker with one another, laugh extremely loud at something that nobody else found funny, or they would annoy the heck out of the rest of us for laughs. I had not laughed at them once this entire ride, and I had a feeling the next forty five minutes would carry on being the same.

I knew getting to the cabin would be a pain in the ass, as would getting everybody into their rooms and actually having them listen to me for once, but it was going to be worth it because I had put too much of my heart and soul into this for anybody else to fuck it up. I had so much planned for us, in my head of course, and I just hoped and prayed that it would be as exciting in person as it was inside of my mind.

"All I'm saying, is that there's no need for a packet of jelly beans to be that expensive!." Steve was arguing with Robin over some candy as they entered back into the caravan home.

"They're a dollar, Steve." Robin said and pulled a face at him. "If you're so concerned about the economy and how we're being scammed by the government, then why don't you take it up with them and maybe not a bunch of children who haven't reached the end of their puberty yet, dingus." She said to him and scoffed as she followed behind to sit down, carrying a small bag of what I assumed to be snacks.

"Maybe I will." He said with a small huff.

"They've been at it for five minutes." Max said and rolled her eyes as she pulled Lucas onto the bus, Kathleen following behind in a world of her own.
