Parry Sound

                  

Parry Sound.  It is currently 3 and half hours from where we are and after I found out it had an amazing used book store, I just had to go!  It was 6 am and for some reason I just could not sleep.  The others would be grouchy if I bothered them now so I grabbed a blanket and I figured I'd go down to the beach from yesterday and just watch the sunrise.  I grabbed some coffee from the lobby and padded barefoot down to the beach.  I was extremely shocked when I got there.

"Luke?"

"Hm?" He slowly turned around. "Oh hey Jez."  He smiled warmly at me.

"What are you doing down here at 6 am?"

"Couldn't sleep, you?"

"Me either."

"So what's today's destination?"

"I was thinking we could go to Parry Sound!  It has the cutest little used book store and it even has a haunted tour we could take!"

"That sounds cool, when are we leaving?"

"Well since I value my life, I figure I'll let everyone sleep for a little bit more and we could leave around 7:30?"

"Awesome, I'll save you the hassle of the guys and wake them up."

"I don't know Hemmings, what's to say you won't just fall asleep too?"

"You can trust me Jez."

And at that moment I think I was starting to trust the blond hair, blue eyed boy that invaded our road trip.  Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

"Alright, alright, but don't make me regret it!"

"I won't now let's go wake up the sleeping beauties."

He got up and held out his hand to help me get up.  I took it and we raced each other to the road.  The morning air had cooled the streets down and it was starting to freeze my feet.

"Why did I ever think not wearing shoes was a good idea? Fuck it's so cold!"

"Come here!"

Before I knew it Luke was piggy backing me to the room and saving me from freezing my feet off.

"Thanks so much Luke."

"No problem Jez." He winked at me.

"Alright, well get the boys up and ready and I'll meet you guys at the car in half an hour!"

"K, bye!"

I walked into my room and saw everyone was still peacefully sleeping, oh they make this just too easy.

"RISE AND SHINE LAZY ASSES, TIME TO GO!"

With that I ripped everyone's covers off of them and turned all the lights on.

Hadley was the first to stir, "you're actually a jackass."

"Love you guys too."

Everyone slowly got ready and then we trudged down to meet the boys at the van.

"Morning girls!" Ashton chirped happily and walked over to envelope Willow in a hug, Calum doing the same with Jasey.  They all responded with inaudible mumbles and grunts, me being the only morning person of the group.  We threw our stuff into the van and I began to drive.

"So um where are we going?"  Of course Michael has to be the little kid and ask where we're going.

"We're headed to Parry Sound."

"Wh-"

"There's a cute used book store and a haunted tour we can do at night." Luke explained for me.  I can't believe he actually listened to me.
