yesterday was so fun. it was really funny when ellery felt 'left out' since she was the only one that wasn't pregnant, so she went into the bathroom and came out with a fake pregnant stomach. it was actually one of those styrofoam half cylinders. she said it was stuffed with snacks that we could eat if we snuck it in there. none of us though it would make it in there, but somehow, it did. we went through security with no problems whatsoever and we made it inside of disneyland without any problem. it was great since we had some pre-packed snacks.

today, we're driving down to san fransisco. daniel said that san fransisco always has the most hype crowds out of all the tour stops that they have.

it was currently very late at night, and i was the only one awake. everyone was sprawled out somewhere on the couch, so i unwrapped daniel's arm from around me and went to the back of the bus where the bunks were, and laid down in mine. i pulled my phone out and scrolled through instagram, looking at my feed. one of the videos that came up was a video from when daniel was fifteen and on american idol.

"straight up now tell me do you really want to love me forever,
oh oh oh, or am i caught in a hit and run?"

i heard some shuffling from the living room, but i ignored it and continued watching the video.

"straight up now tell me is it gonna be you and me forever,
oh oh oh, or are you just having fun?"

i smiled as i watched my little fetus daniel sing and dance to the song. all of a sudden, i hear, "are you watching videos of my haunting past?"

i look up to see a shirtless daniel standing there, looking really tired.

"yep. it was on my instagram feed," i smiled, and scooted over in my small bunk, "come lay down."

he obliged and laid down next to me in the small bunk.

"now tell me, why are you watching videos of my awkward past?" he chuckled, wrapping his arm around my body.

"it just came up on my feed, like i said earlier," i told him, "i love the way your little hips sway back and forth when you're singing this, and the way you snap your fingers. it's so adorable," i giggled, and he rolled his eyes.

"yep, that's very awkward fifteen year old me," he sighed, putting his head in the crook of my neck, "why are you still up?" he asked quietly.

"eh, my stomach was kind of hurting so i couldn't sleep. i got up a few minutes ago and came over to the bunk," i explained, and he nodded.

"we'll try to get some sleep. we have a free day tomorrow so we can just stay in the hotel all day when we get there," he told me, so i closed my eyes and closed any small gap that was between us by pushing my body against his and snuggling up as close as possible to him, "good night my precious angels. sleep tight," he whispered, and i fell into unconsciousness in his arms.

"GET UP YOU LAZY ASSES. WE'RE HERE!" i hear someone yell, and i groaned, hiding my face in the crook of daniel's neck.

"what time is it?" i asked groggily, not moving from my position.

"it's like 1:25 in the morning," jack laughed, and i rolled my eyes.

"okay, so i have been asleep for an hour. great," i mumbled, and jack snorted.

"get daniel up. we already signed into the hotel. i left your guy's room key on the table in there. it says your room number and stuff," jack told me, and i mumbled something incoherently to him.

he left the bus and i shook daniel, who groaned, "baby, we're here. let's grab our bags and go into the hotel room," i whispered, so he rolled off of the bed and stood up.

he helped me out of bed, even though i didn't need it, and grabbed two of our suitcases.

"daniel, i can carry my own suitcase, you know that?" i laughed, and he shrugged, walking towards the door.

i grabbed the room key and followed him into the doors of the hotel that we were staying in. i checked the number and it said we were in room 1254, so we headed towards the elevator and i pressed the button for the twelfth floor. once we got there, we went down the hall to our room and opened the door. daniel put our bags down by the desk and i put down the small amount of stuff that i was carrying, then laid in bed. daniel followed close behind and laid down next to me.

"good night, daniel," i whispered, and he kissed my forehead.

"good night, my love," he whispered back, and once again i fell back into unconsciousness in the arms of my soulmate.
