I don't realise I've fallen asleep, until my eyes open and Jack's blue one's are gazing into mine a smile stretched over his face. I smile sleepily.
"We back?" I question stretching, he smiles again, and shakes his head, I frown in confusion. "Then what's happening?" I question and look out the window and realise we're at a service station.
"We've got another half an hour of the journey left, but I thought it might be nice to get some breakfast," he suggests. I smile and nod, letting out a yawn. "Do you want to eat in here or there?"
"In there," I say excitedly, even though I feel incredibly tired, I like going in service stations makes me feel as though I'm on holiday on a long journey. So we walk in, and I wonder what people in there view me and Jack as now. I mean wear holding hands and smiling, like a couple. I find us a table and he goes to fetch us breakfast, getting me some croissants with Nutella and an orange juice. My eyes and head feels heavy from lack of sleep, and I'm shivering, constantly yawning and staring in a daze. He walks over to our table and places the tray with our food on the table, I dig in my stomach yearning for food.
Jack's eyes are slightly red and watery and I can tell he too is tired. We tuck into our breakfast's which are amazing and I let the cool orange juice slide down my throat. I lean my head back against the seat and rest my eyes.
"Buenny," whispers Jack. "Buenny" he whispers and I ignore him, "yohoooo Buenny!" He whispers and laughs when I don't respond. His voice is closer now "Buenny burn buen," I smile and don't respond, he laughs as I ignore him. "Buenny!" He yells in my face and I'm not expecting so it so I jump up and start lashing for him, he flinches and lets out a girly scream, I then pause as he does this. And burst into hysterics.
"Oh my god!" I breathe between fits of laughter. He frowns.
"What?" He says, I laugh again.
"You scream like a girl!" I declare, he pouts and glares.
"I've heard some girls with some pretty manly screams in my time," he defends.
"Oh you have have you?" I say wiggling my eyebrows, his mouth drops open.
"Eww, Buenny, not like that!" He says putting on a girly voice and I giggle. I look at the other tables and a woman is smiling at us, I smile at her when I catch her gaze.
"Sorry, it's just you too are so sweet!" She smile, and I let out a laugh, "your better than my husband and I'm I wish the best for you!" She winks and stands up before we can even say we're not a couple, surprisingly we don't even try, we just laugh when she's left.

Jack and I decide to have a lazy day watching films on his sofa, with popcorn. The rest of his family have left to visit their auntie Florence, and won't be back until late, so we lie either side of the sofa, with a checkered blanket thrown over us. I know I'm drifting go sleep halfway through high school musical 2, as my eyes begin drooping.
When I awaken, I am alone on the couch and the TV is off, the words 'no signal' floating across the blue screen. I stretch myself out and notice a note on the coffee table.
Hey Buenny,
Sorry had to dash out, but I really enjoyed this weekend, we always have the best times
Caj xxxx
I write a message in return.
Hey Caj,
That's okay, and indeed we do, I've never had so much fun
Sometimes we need to break free :)
