Everything's Alright

Chapter Thirty One

MARK POV

We stopped for breakfast at a nearby IHOP, wanting actual food. I asked Jack to drive because my back hurt. He nodded and took the keys. Sarah and I rode in back while Ozzy and Jack were in front. This meant they were in charge of music, which meant loud and in your face. But I didn't care, I just wanted to rest a little and make sure Sarah was okay.

Throughout the drive, I would glance over at her. I could tell that her nightmare had really affected her. I reached over and took her hand. She looked at me and smiled, but it wasn't her normal, jubilant smile. It was fake. I smiled in return, hoping that she wouldn't catch me worrying. She didn't like me to worry, but I only did it because I cared.

She leaned over and I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close. I kissed her head. After a while, I heard her breathing slow and I knew she was asleep. Ozzy looked back and smiled.

"Is she okay?" They asked. I knew that they cared a lot about Sarah, too.

"I don't know for sure. I think she's still a little freaked out because of the thing last night, but I think she'll recover. She's strong."

They nodded and turned back to the front to mess with their phone. The song changed. I didn't recognize it at first. And then-

"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!" Ozzy screamed.

"NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND-" Jack started

"WHY?!?!?!" I exclaimed, causing Sarah to wake up. She pouted.

"The hell was that for?" She asked, frowning.

"Ask Osiris and Sean." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Screaming is not required."

"It is if you're Oz and I." Jack said with a laugh.

"Dammit, Jack." I mumbled.

The song changed to Teenagers by My Chemical Romance and we all looked at each other for a minute. Once to chorus hit, we were all screaming at the top of our lungs, not giving a shit about the cars that were driving next to us. Once the song was over, Sarah seemed better. Leave it to music to cheer her up. We stopped for lunch in some small town. I took the wheel with Jack riding shotgun. Our significant others were in the back, chatting about something on their phones. We stopped at another motel for the night in Ohio. One more day of driving and we'd be in Boston.

That night while we laid in bed, Ozzy and Jack in the room across the hall, I used my phone to text Bob and Wade.

Me: Hey, guys. We should be coming in sometime tomorrow evening/night.
Bob: Us, too. Where are you staying?
Wade: We're flying in tomorrow morning.
Me: I got a room for the four of us at the Hilton that's a block away from the convention.
Bob: Who four?
Me: Jack, Ozzy, Sarah and I.
Bob: There's only one room. You all are sharing??
Me: Yup.
Wade: Any fangirls that still ship you and Sean are gonna go crazy.
Me: Yeah, we're gonna kill their dreams this weekend.
Bob: You finally gonna post the video?
Me: Yup.
Wade: What about those at the Con? They won't be waiting for your update?
Me: I've already talked to the people at the convention. I'm gonna show them the video at about the same time that I am going to post in online.
Bob: That makes sense. Cool. Gonna get a lot of "Aawwwww"s
Me: Hahaha. Yeah I know.
Wade: I wonder if anyone will use the panel to propose again.
Me: I don't know. I always feel really honored when they use it.
Bob: I have a fan that sent me a message that wants to, if that's okay.
Me: Of course! I don't want people to not be in love and happy.
Wade: You're such a sap, Mark.
Me: Shut up, Wade!
Wade: :P

I put my phone down and looked over at Sarah, who was on her phone.

"Who are you texting?" I asked.

"Not texting. Making a Tumblr post."

"About what?"

"This weekend. Just telling people to not be afraid to come talk to us, even if we look busy." She hit 'post' and out her phone down, snuggling close to me.

I nodded and kissed her head. I heard her breathing slow and I knew she was asleep. I stayed up for another hour or so, just staring off into space until sleep finally came over me.

We woke up late the next morning. Jack came banging on our door at a quarter to ten. We hurriedly got dressed and were out the door. We'd shower that night at the hotel. I drove until we hit Boston at a little after six. We went to our room and we collapsed onto our respective beds. It was Thursday evening. Wade said he was already in the building, just up a couple flights. Bob hadn't arrived yet. I decided to grab my camcorder out of my bag and hit record.

"Hey guys! Sorry for the random updates to the channel. We drove all the way to Boston from L.A. Talk about your road trips." I smiled. "As you can see, we're all here." I panned the room. "There's Sarah, probably updating everyone via social media. Osiris is passed out. Again. Jack is....I'm not quite sure what Jack is doing. Jack, tell the people what you're doing."

"Your mom."

"Real original, Jack." I shook my head and turned the camera back to me. "Anyways, we're really excited for PAX to begin tomorrow. Everything starts at eleven, and if you're in the area but aren't able to get into the panel, we will be doing a Meet 'N Greet afterwards. And we plan on meeting every single one of you guys. And we're staying for the whole weekend, because the Grumps will be here on Sunday and it's always entertaining to be in their panels.

"That's enough from me. I've been blabbering for a while now. I love you guys. And as always, I will see you in the next video. Buy-bye!" I waved and everyone else in the room said goodbye as well. I then hooked my camcorder up to my laptop and added my annotations before uploading the video.

I texted Bob and Wade to see if they wanted to get some food.

Wade: Food is good. Yes please.
Bob: Just checked into the hotel. Gonna drop our stuff off. Where will we be going?
Me: Saw a pizza place down the street.
Bob: Sounds good. See you there.

"Come on guys." I said. "Let's go get some food."

Ozzy sat up suddenly. "Where's the Dunkin?"

"Uh.." I started.

"Wait, we're in Boston right? So everywhere." They got up and walked right out of the room. We had to rush getting shoes on in order to grab them before they went in the elevator. Sarah only had one shoe on while the other foot was just shoved into it.

"How the fuck do they drink so much coffee?!" Jack muttered, running down the hall.

We were able to get to them before the elevator. When it finally arrived, we saw that Wade was inside.

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

We hugged and then I hugged Molly. They both hugged everyone else. Then we all rode down together to the pizza place.

When we walked in, Osiris immediately asked for the biggest cup of coffee they had. I felt bad for the guy working the counter. He was so confused as to why someone would walk into a pizza place and order coffee.

"Don't mind them. They just fucking love coffee." Jack said, laughing at them as they went to sit with Sarah and Molly.

We ordered a couple large pizzas and some pitchers of soda. We payed and sat down with the others. I sat in between Sarah and Wade. After a few minutes, Bob and Holly joined us. We ate, joked around, and laughed. We didn't even realize that we had been there for a few hours. We ended up closing the place. We gave the guys that were working a tip and left for the hotel.

We said goodnight and went to our respective rooms. Osiris showered first. Sarah found something on TV. I was checking up on the social media. I tweeted some people back on what we had been up to. Then we all passed out.
