Ugh! I am soooooooo sorry for the late uploads but I either do that or put them on hold while I wite them what should I do? I am rushing so  they rant that good but here they go:

~~~

Felicity’s POV (I just wanted to say that I won’t be doing Jackie and Stacey’s POV anymore)

6 hours. 6 hours of driving.

UGH! I jammed my head back into the car seat. I had already picked up Ash, Jackie and Jadeyn.  Stacey couldn’t come though which kind of sucked. She was going to stay at home and see if she could find out where he was buried.

“Are we ready to get this show on the road?” Jackie asked excitedly.

“I guess.”  I said. I started the car, buckled my seat belt, changed the gear and hit the accelerator.

2 hours later

“I gotta go pee.” Jackie complained.

“We’ll stop at the next gas station.” I said for the tenth time.

I heard Jadeyn moan and I looked in the rear view mirror to see them snogging (Making out) in the back seat. What is with these two?

Jackie must’ve noticed to because she turned around and separated them. “ I am sitting in the back seat with Jadeyn on the rest of the way!”

Jadeyn looked embarrassed while Ash just grinned and pulled Jadeyn into his chest.

I saw a gas station up ahead and I switched lanes and turned into the gas station.

Jackie jumped out of my Blue 2011 Toyota Prius, which I had gotten for my 18th Birthday. Oh how I love my parents.

Jadeyn and Ash got out slowly holding hands. I sighed and went into the side restaurant to get some comfort food. This is going to be a bad 4 hours.

I pulled up to our dingy motel. “The Palace” Ya okay it’s totally a place where a royal person would stay. We pulled our bags out of the back and wheeled them into the small, cramped lobby. The car ride defiantly took all of my energy out of me. For the remaining 4 hours Ash and Jadeyn had been texting goodness knows what too each other and Jackie was telling me horrific ghost stories, which were apparently true.

Jadeyn walked up to the young and surprisingly cute receptionist. “ McNick.”

The guy who’s name apparently was Michael typed something in the computer.

“Room 125 & 126. Three nights is it?” He looked around at us and We all nodded. “That would be $300”

Jadeyn pulled something out of her bra and I laughed when I saw a wad of cash. Jadeyn always did that.

Michael stared at her when she did that smiling flirtatiously. Ash must have noticed that and he walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waste.

“Honey you don’t have to pay.” He said and kissed her head, which must’ve sealed the deal because Michael just turned his attention to me and smiled at me. I knew I shouldn’t have been doing this but I smiled back at him.

“You guys go upstairs with the suitcases I’ll get the keys ready and park the car.” My friends nodded and I walked over to the counter and put my hands out for the keys.

He handed to them to me and when his rough skin brushed myn I almost gasped out loud. It just felt so right.

He leaned closer to me and whispered I my ear.” I’ll park your car if you give me your number.” I smiled, handed over my keys and grabbed a business car on the side and started to write my mobile number on it.

I handed it over to him and started to gather up the keys. Michael added one more to the pile and said to me in a sultry voice. “ I sleep in 100 come on in if u need to.”

Woah this guy comes on strong but I kind of liked it. I just smiled and walked off towards the elevator knowing he was staring at my butt the entire time.

We unpacked all of our stuff and I collapsed onto the king size bed, which Jackie and me would be sharing.

“Ugh! I am so tired I don’t want to stay out all night at a grave yard!” I complained.

“Will this help then?” Jackie pulled a bottle of Malibu out of her purse.

I stared at her with shock. “Where the hell did you get that?” I asked. NEVER had I seen Jackie take a drink. Now I have seed Jadeyn and Stacey but never Jackie.

“My parents liquor cabinet.” She saw my suspicious face and continued. “I swear! They never drink this stuff!”

She tossed the bottle to me and I took a gulp of the sweet smelling alcohol. I felt it burn its way down my throat and I shook my head violently trying to get the taste out of my mouth. “Wow that tastes like crap.” I said, “No wonder your parents don’t drink it.”

“It’s fine once you get used to it.” Jackie beckoned for me to give her back the bottle. I took one more sip of it. I realized that she could be right.

Jackie took a few sips before putting it back in her bag. “We can’t waste all the fun now can we?” She giggled and fell back onto our bed.

Lightweight was all I could think.

I text Stacey telling her that we were alright and she said that she was researching like mad. I smiled a little at this.

But it was then that I realized how much my life had changed. If you asked me four months ago if I though that I would ever be in Vegas looking for a ghost, drinking liquor in a crap motel right next to Jadeyn with her boyfriend doing goodness knows what I would have walked away thinking that you were crazy.

I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Jackie slurred.

I shook my head at her and opened the door to see Jadeyn and Ash looking suspicious. I just sighed and let them come in.

Jadeyn saw Jackie on the bed giggling to herself and raised an eyebrow at me. “Hey she brought it.” I said putting my hands up in a surrending motion.

“Well what are we going to do?” Ash asked. I thought to myself. Honestly I hadn’t even made a plan for the three nights we had here which was strangely unlike myself.

I heard my phone go off. I picked it up off my bed and read the text that Stacey had sent me.

I found the Cemetery that he is buried in! It’s called Smiths cemetery and is no t far from the motel

I smiled to myself then read it aloud.

“I guess I know what were doing tonight!” Ash said.

He looked around at our confused expressions and sighed. “Partying!” He yelled and we all started to cheer. This was going to be a interesting night.
