runaway ➳ c.t.h

After the 10 minute nap, it was time to leave the bus and get into our hotel.

I dont understand the point, though. We have our own house here, where we could stay at instead of paying $400 a night for a shabby hotel.

In silence, all four of us grabbed as much of our belongings as we could and headed towards the hotel.

When we walked in, there was an old lady in the front desk.

"Excuse me, we booked a hotel here, can we check in?" Our bus driver asked.

"Name?" The lady croaked.

"Shawn." He replied.

The lady types something in her computer and squints her eyes.

"Im afraid i dont see a Shawn here, last name?" She asked again.

Shawn mutters something under his breath and doesnt reply.

The lady turns to look at him, and glares.

"Last name?" The lady repeats, louder.

"Hiney." Shawn mutters and crosses his arms.

All of us laugh, except the old lady.

"Nope. I dont see it. Im sorry, you cant stay yere tonight, all the rooms are booked." The lady sighs.

"What? We booked 2 rooms 4 weeks ago!" Shawn rages.

His bald head was a slight tint of red.

"Its okay, Shawn. We'll just go to the house." Ashton puts an arm on Shawns shoulder.

"That house was sold, boys. We only rented it." Shawn says angrily.

"What? I left my games in that house!" Michael shouted.

"Guys, theres something called a tour bus." Luke says as if it was obvious.

"I dont wanna." Michael whines.

"Shut up! All of you. We all have family here, remember?" I yell.

"True that." I hear Ashton mumble.

"Okay, lets go." Shawn says and we head out.

When we got on the bus, it was silence again.

"What are the addresses?" Shawn asks, and Michael was first to speak.

"*address*" Michael replies, and lays back in his bunk.

Shawn continues to drop everyone off, and I was the last one.

"Where to, kid?" Shawn asks for the 4th time, yawning.

Ashton kept getting mixed up with addresses, and we ended up going to 3 houses before he finally got dropped off.

"Um, *address*" i say, without actually thinking.

As soon as the bus starts driving though, i realize what address i told shawn.

It was Arabella's.
