Jenna's POV

"Come on, Lexi! Ugh why won't she pick up!" I said annoyed.

"I'm pretty sure she's already on the road, Jenna." Niall said. "She said she'd hop on the road early in the morning."

"Why! I thought she was meeting us in LA."

"She is. Security's going to clear the hotel in a few hours and they know to get her a room." Niall just thinks of everything, doesn't he.

"Well this sucks. I didn't want her to drive."

"Me either. I offered...."

"I know. Lexi's just really stubborn." I said. It's about one in the afternoon. Harry, Niall, and I are chilling on the bus in the lounge. I've only been up for about ten minutes, but I was up late trying to get ahold of Lexi. According to Niall she went to bed right after their Skype chat and said she was leaving early. I know she saw my texts and calls, but she would make sure she got to where there was no turning back before she called me back. It's something I would do too. I hate us.

Just as I was about to go insane, the familiar 'Brass Monkey' ringtone goes off. That was always mine and Lexi's song growing up, so of course I made it her ringtone.

I shushed Niall and Harry as they laughed at my ringtone of choice and slid the screen to answer.

"Hello?" I hear on the other end.

"Lexi! What the hell!"

"Sorry I just saw your missed calls." Bullshit. Lexi can lie to anyone...but not me.

"You better not be halfway to LA Lexi. I swear. I'll chop your balls off."

"Well....get your knife ready."

"Son of a bitch! Why didn't you just fly!"

"I like driving! And your car is fun to drive." I could just see the smirk on her face. If only I could smack it off.

"Where the hell are you."

"I'm at a rest stop about three hours from LA. Should be going through the grapevines soon."

"Please drive safe..."

"I will. Don't be such a worry wart. Not like your boyfriend couldn't pay for damages to the car."

"It's not the car I'm worried about, stupid. Harry can't buy me a new bestfriend. Just...be careful."

"Alright I will. Jeez. See you soon, cuz. Love you."

"Love you too, bye." I said and hung up the phone. Gosh she's exhausting. I'm gonna have to chew her out later for ignoring my calls and taking my car without permission.

"That was so sweet." Harry said, gushing.

"What?"

"You're more worried about Lexi than the car. I know how much you love that car. It's just sweet is all." Harry continued to laugh.

"She better be worried about Lexi. Can't have anything happen to my woman." The word had obviously slipped, because Niall was now as red as a rose. "Or man...you did say she had balls."

"Your woman?" I teased.

"I didn't say that." His lips pushed into a line. "That never leaves the lounge and if it does I'll deny it to my grave." He was completely serious, but Harry and I couldn't help our laughter.
