 ~ Kayden ~

To sum up our experience at the motel, it was utterly boring. The moment we checked into the room, Little Miss LA went straight into the bathroom and didn’t come out for hours. Girls… *rolling eyes*

Our room wasn’t too bad though, two twin beds sat parallel from each other, each equipped with a night stand and lamp. A fold out chair occupied the left corner of the room next to a heavy box TV as the lights continuously flickered on and off as the air conditioner hummed loudly. “VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM”

That’s gonna be hard to ignore when I sleep….

Okay so I really, and I mean really, had to pee by now and McKenzie still didn’t come out! Darn her and my tiny bladder!!!!

BUZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZ

What the Hell?

BUZZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZ

Oh god, this room is haunted!

BUZZZZZZ BUZZZZZZZ

Oh, it’s Kenzie’s phone… I’m a retard…

I swiftly grabbed the pink iphone lying on her suitcase and swiped to unlock the screen. She really needs to put a passcode or something on this…

‘3 NEW MESSAGES’

Curiosity got the best of me as I opened the first text; what can I say, I’m a dude!

KEITH: ‘Mac, why’d you hang up?’

I rolled my eyes as continued reading the other two; they were all from the douche.

‘Getting together with Erica was the biggest mistake of my life’ Okay….???

Please, please, please just hear me out! I love you Mac and I never meant to hurt you’

I let out a tiny growl and threw the phone back down on her luggage, the douche killed my mood. He obviously did something pretty major to have McKenzie lock herself in the bathroom for that long and for some reason, her discomfort bothered me. I remembered how sad she looked in the car, the pained look on her face when she heard his voice.

Light suddenly danced into the dark room as McKenzie emerged from the steamy bathroom, clad in her plaid A&F PJ bottoms and a homemade t-shirt with the words ‘Hungry for Gale Hawthorne’ spray painted on the front and ‘Team Hawthorne, Hunger Games 2012’ on the back.

Wait… that movie didn’t even come out yet… so she was a Hunger Games fanatic…

She pursed her lips and immediately began sizing up her sleeping arrangements. “Sorry I hogged the bathroom,” she began. “I… just needed some time for myself.”

I nodded, “No problem, it wasn’t that long of a wait.”

She raised her eye brows, “I was in there for three hours… don’t you have to go?”

“Nah, I relieved myself in that potted plant over there,” I nodded dismissively towards the plant in the corner. It’s times like this where I thank the lord that I’m a dude.

She wrinkled her nose and jumped into bed. “Night Kayden,” she whispered softy and flicked off the lights.

“Night Kenzie.”
