The Road Trip

GONE MENTAL (CH36)

BACK TO THE GROUP - 12:28pm

"Hey, what took you guys so long?" Jeremy chuckled as he raised his eyebrows and leant against the counter. "Very funny, oh really I'm laughing inside." Luke said as he walked in behind Lauren. Jeremy stuck out his tongue. 

"Oh yeah, Court, I can actually control my boyfriend." Lauren smirked as she winked at Courtney. Courtney's face lit up as she clapped her hands together and squealed. "FINALLY!" Nearly everyone said at the same time and they all looked relieved. Lauren and Luke both dropped their hands to the side. 

"Heeey!" Lauren whined as she looked at everyone. "Okay, okay sorry but like we've been waiting for ages now. Its about time." Courtney smiled as she came over and put a hand on Laurens shoulder. Lauren put her hand over hers and nodded and smiled. 

"Oh yeah and eh we found a staircase behind a hidden door under the left staircase." Luke chuckled. Everyones head twisted towards Luke as Lauren laughed. "What? Dude, c'mon lets go!" Daniel shouted as he leaped over the couch and skidded around the doorway. 

They all went over to the hidden staircase. "This is pretty well hidden, how'd ye find it?" Stuart asked as he held onto Daniel as he peeked down the staircase. "So thats why ye took so long." Jeremy snickered as he smirked at the two of them. "Okay.. no. This isnt about us, this is about finding Cara now lets go." Lauren said as she changed the subject. Everyone nodded but no one went first. 

Lauren turned back around to see everyone looking at her.

"What? I'm not going first!" Lauren crossed her arms. "Alright, I'll be the man and go." Stuart said as he started to walk forward. Daniel and Luke both quickly looked at each other. "I think Luke should go first!" Daniel shouted as he put a hand in the air. Luke gave him an exasperated look. Daniel tilted his head to the side and pouted. 

"Okay, fine!" Luke said as he put his hands in the air. "Right lets go!" Daniel smiled. 

Luke slowly went down the stairs with the lads behind him then the girls in the back. 

"AHH!" Stuart shouted as he held his hand to his chest. "What?!" Daniel jumped as he gave an annoyed face to Stuart in the darkness. "I touched gum under the banister!" Stuart whined as he shook his hand to get the feeling off. "It was all gooey and stuff." He continued. 

"So it was fresh?" Lauren said. Everyone stayed quiet for a moment. "Guys, what if James and Cara arent down here?" Kayla said. "They have to be. That was James' car." Luke said. "I know but, what if someone else is down here. You know what I mean." Kayla shrugged. "I know what you mean." Ryan said as he put an arm around her. "No you dont, not even I know what she means." Lauren huffed. Ryan raised an eyebrow at Lauren then looked away acting all hurt as Lauren laughed and rolled her eyes. 

"Okay, lets not have a DMC yeah? Cara may be down there. If I had a fecking dollar for the amount of times I've said 'Cara might be here, she might be there' I'd be fucking rich now lets go!" Daniel said in frustration as he took the lead. 

They all finally reached the bottom of the staircase. "Its so eerie down here." Lauren said as she went next to Luke and grabbed onto his forearm as she looked around the dark place. Luke looked at her hand then at her and smiled as she looked around. 

"Woah something just touched against my butt." Kayla squeaked as she jumped forward. "Sorry." Ryan shrugged sheepishly as Kayla punched his arm. 

"SHUSH!" Daniel shushed as everyone bumped into each other and froze. You could hear water drops in the distance, you couldnt barely see anything though. Suddenly, you could hear talking.
