To the moon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 9

'Guys, I'm sorry but I really need to pee again' I mumbled.

Luke grinned and looked at Ashton who was driving the car.

'Can't you hold it up for like half an hour longer?' Ashton asked, a small smile creeping on his face despite the fact that it did annoy him a little that we had to stop for the third time in 4 and a half hours. 

'Not really no, I know how annoying it is, I'm sorry. I just can't really help it that there's a baby pushing on my bladder' I said.

Ashton smiled. 'Don't worry about it' he said, not wanting to make me feel bad about this.

We pulled up at a gas station 10 minutes later and I quickly jumped out.

I went inside, found a bathroom and peed before making my way back out.

I went through the shop, deciding to buy some chocolate chip cookies and made my way back in the van.

'That took you long enough' Michael joked.

I smiled, sitting down and throwing the cookies at him.

'Well I'm sorry, I was hungry so I bought us some cookies' I said.

'Cookies!!' Calum screamed, turning around in the passenger seat to try and steal the cookies from Michael.

Ashton drove us back on the highway as we ate the cookies and talked a little about how much we liked getting postcards for our birthdays.

20 minutes later Ashton parked the car in front of the hotel and we jumped out.

'I'll go check us in, you start getting your stuff out' Calum said, already making his way inside the hotel.

We decided to do this road trip the same way Luke and I did the first time.

Meaning we had a backpack which we filled with clothes for the next day, something to sleep in and things to get ready such as toothbrushes and hairbrushes and things like that.

Only this time we had 3 bags, since we couldn't fit clothes for 5 people in one small backpack.

Ashton and Michael went first, quickly stuffing their clothes in a bag and getting their suitcases off of ours.

The suitcases were smaller this time, because we knew that we'd be going away for three weeks and not 2 months.

'I forgot how hard it was to pick out what I'm going to wear this fast' I mumbled as I opened my suitcase.

Luke grinned, 'You never were very fast' he said.

I laughed, softly pushing him away.

'I was very fast' I said, taking some clean underwear and one of my dresses out of my suitcase and stuffing them in the bag.

'Of course you were baby,' Luke said, putting his clothes in the bag as well 'As fast as a snail that's running for its life'

'That's a very fast snail then'

'No, in fact it was so slow it just stopped running at some point because it got stepped on'

I furrowed my eyebrows and laughed, shaking my head at him as I zipped up my suitcase and pulled it out of the car so that Calum could open his.

'Wait, did anyone tell Calum how many rooms we had to get?' Michael asked.

We all looked at each other, everyone shaking their heads.

'He's not that stupid, I'm sure we will all have a bed to sleep in tonight' I said.

'Says the girl who's carrying Luke's baby and therefore will be guaranteed to sleep in a bed every single night this whole road trip' Ashton grinned.

I smiled and was just about to say something when I saw Calum walking our way.

'Here you go' he said, handing Luke all the keys and quickly stuffing some clothes in the third bag.

We put our stuff back in the car and made our way inside the hotel.

'They didn't have any rooms left with 3 beds in it, so I had to get 3 rooms with 2. But I'll sleep alone if no one wants to that's fine' he explained.

'I think Ashton needs to sleep alone because he snores' Michael said.

'I do not!' Ashton protested, stomping his foot on the floor like a four year old.

'You do snore a little Ash' Luke said as he intertwined our fingers.

'Alright fine, I'll sleep alone. I can put the 2 beds against each other and I'll have like a king size bed all for myself' he grinned, quickly taking one of the keys out of Luke's hand.
