The Road Trip

HAPPY HORSES (CH29)

RECAP

About two hours passed of everyone chatting, but most of the time Lauren just sat there in thought, thinking about Luke. Thinking about what she would do next. What he would do next, but honestly.. she had no idea.

RECAP OVER

LUKE & LAUREN'S ROOM - 10:00pm

Lauren stayed quiet for the whole half an hour she was in Cara's room. Stuart and Courtney were after leaving a bit before.

"I think I'll head back to my room there now." Lauren said as she started to stand up. "Hold up, I'll walk you back." Cara said. "It's only down the hall." Lauren smiled. "Yeah, yeah whatever you never know." Cara said as she waved her arms. "I'll come too." Daniel said. "Peyton might as well come-" Lauren started but stopped when Peyton was hanging over the edge of the bed asleep. Lauren giggled and started to walk out the door with Cara and Daniel behind her.

Half way down the hall to Lauren's room, she stopped. "I'm really nervous.." Lauren trailed off as she felt her cheek. "Dont be." Cara said as she held her shoulders. "You know that Luke would never ever do anything to hurt you again, he would never mean it." Cara continued. Lauren's thoughts flicked back to the party last year. "Yeah.." Lauren sulked as she looked down. "I know what your're thinking about. Dont think about that! That was last year and he totally regrets it. He never meant to upset you. It kills him." Cara said while Daniel nodded.

They all walked down the hall until they reached Lauren and Lukes room. "Well, this is it." Lauren took a deep breath and unlocked the door. "Good luck girl." Daniel patted Lauren's shoulder. "She doesn't need it." Cara winked as she nudged Daniel. Lauren rolled her eyes and laughed. "Thanks guys, see ye in the morning." Lauren said as she closed the door behind her. They waved their goodbyes and went back to their room.

Lauren didnt dare turn on the lights incase he would wake up. When she reached the bed, he was pretty much in the same position from when she left. She carefully crawled in without waking him and stayed to her side of the bed. He shuffled around a bit but didnt touch her. He was totally conked out from all the walking they did earlier and yesterday. Lauren sighed as she went to sleep herself too.

THE NEXT MORNING - 8:38pm

Lauren rolled around the bed a bit. She was woken up by lights coming through an opened window. The blinds were pulled back. That meant Luke was already awake. She wondered what time it was. First she looked to her right and noticed he wasn't there. She sat up and looked around the room lazily and noticed he wasn't there either. "Hm, must be in the bathroom." Lauren thought.

She hopped out of bed and rubbed her eyes and stretched. She went over to her bag and got out her things to get ready. Suddenly, she noticed the door to the bathroom was open and he wasn't in there. She shrugged to herself and just figured he already went down for food. She got ready and sent Kayla a quick text asking her if they were already at breakfast. Kayla texted back yes so Lauren got ready and went down to the dining room.

BREAKFAST - 9:00am

"Lauren, your late, for you. Everything okay?" Talia asked. "Uh, yeah I'm fine." Lauren said as she glanced around the table and sat next to her. "You look lost." Cara called out. "Eh, wha? Oh yeah pancakes.. whatever." Lauren said as she glanced around the room this time.

"Here actually, wheres Daniel?" Cara said all of a sudden. Lauren looked at her confused and noticed Daniel was also missing as well as Luke. "I saw him this morning like, didnt I peyton?" Cara said as she felt herself going crazy. "Yep, you defiantly saw him." Peyton confirmed. "Luke's not here either, and i didnt see him this morning." Lauren piped in as she fiddled with the ends of her hair. "I dont actually remember Daniel leaving the room.." Cara said as she tried really hard to think. "Yeah you probably didnt notice because you were trying so hard to straighten a piece of hair." Peyton snickered.
