Somewhere Along The Road (Completed and editing)

Chapter 23

🔃Megan's POV🔃

"My god! I didn't think today would be so tiring!" Ems exclaimed as soon as we took a seat in one of the booths.

"I agree." DM replied and rested his head down on the table.

"Please, stop being such babies! The night has just begun! How can y'all be so tired!?" Corrie asked and pulled DM's head off the table by tugging on his hair.

"I agree with Corrie." I stated.

"You girls are really hyperactive!" Chase chuckled.

"Did you just say 'hyperactive'?" James mused.

"I guess I did." Chase chuckled making all of us join him.

Let me just go back a bit and explain the situation? Yeah. So after my little heart-to-heart with Chase, we both retreated back to our rooms. I still couldn't sleep after getting back but that was due to a completely different reason. I was thinking about, almost everything that happened these past few weeks and I realised that we have only two more places after Acrae to go. That kind of depressed me but I decided to make most of it and live these precious moments which I know, sadly, will never come back.

So we spent the entire day roaming around in Acrae like a bunch of hooligans making way too much noise. Surprisingly, Acrae was a town in which there was a lot to see. We went to the infamous lake which was said to be in the shape of 'W' but frankly to me it looked like some girl's huge ass and Corrie seemed to agree with me. It really was fascinating.

We spent most of our afternoon near the butt lake only because we all were inside that 'fascinating' lake splashing water at each other. You really don't wanna know how that started but I think I should tell you. Basically, after we got near the lake we were just lazing around in the grass, laughing and talking but then DM and Corrie got into this really big argument about James Bond movies. DM thought that Skyfall is a better movie than Casino Royale but Corrie seemed to disagree. And then that argument led to who was the best Bond ever and let's just say that sitting near the lake is never a good idea when two people are arguing really badly over something stupid, because one of them might just trip and fall into the lake taking the other with them.

After that, they both burst out laughing and then Chase got this miraculous idea of pushing Ems into the lake too but when he tried that Ems took him along with her and seeing all of them me and James looked at each other, shrugged, shook our heads and jumped into the water together.

We were in the water for about half an hour, which was really weird because I felt like I was in somebody's ass and that thought was not really interesting, before the security over there chased us away with sticks. You see, jumping in a lake which was so precious to the town and basically like a monument isn't the best thing to do but it is definitely the most fun thing to do.

We didn't have our luggage with us so we had decided to go to a park which was a few minutes away from the butt lake and stay in the grass until the sun dried our clothes. We had our lunch over there, sitting in a circle, laughing and pulling each other's legs. These are the memories that I'll take with me, these moments and jokes. Casual and natural moments like these are what made most of this road trip so amazing and awesome.

Anyway, we left that place soon and after that, since we didn't have any specific plan and neither did we know that town well, we ended up in a cowboy bar. The bar had a typical southern, cowboy look to it. The bar was jam packed with people and we learnt that there was a bull riding competition after-party being held over there. That place was definitely super cool and we all took turns on riding the metal bull which was at the centre of the bar. James and some other cowboy had a 'Beer Chug' competition which I'm proud to say, James won. Dude, it takes a lot of guts to chug down a extra large can of beer.
