"I'm gonna get us a room. Stay in the car I don't want people to think this is an Ike and Tina situation." I joke putting the car in park. After seven long hours of driving we finally arrived in Atlanta. We decided to stay at a hotel for a while.

"Very funny, you got jokes now." She mugs.

I got out the car and waited in line at the front desk. As I was waiting it's a woman arguing up and down with the receptionist.

"Listen here sir, I want the room with the balcony and jacuzzi! I'm not staying in nothing less!" She yells at the poor man. He looks like he's about to piss himself.

"I-I told you m-ma'am you have to request that in advance. T-That's our m-most popular rooms. We are out." He stutter pushing his glasses up.

"Where's your manager. Bring him out here, cause I'm getting nowhere with you." She say causing a bigger scene. As much as I try to stay out of people business, I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm ready to get in a hot shower and take my tired ass to bed.

"Excuse me ma'am, he just said they are out of those rooms. Now if you don't get your wanna be bougee ass another room me and you gone have a problem. I just drove seven hours. My tired ass is ready to shower and go to sleep. You calling the manager up here like he gone pull a room out his ass or something. You know what, fuck what you talking about. Can I get a room please thank you?" I asked skipping the woman and handing the receptionist my card and ID.

"Hey you can't skip me. I was here first!" She yells.

"Well I'm here now. The way you just talked to this man, you expect someone to care that you was here first. Girl bye, thank you Josh. Oh and don't let people talk to you crazy. Stand up for yourself or they gone continue to run over you." With that, the man thanks me and hands over my room key and card.

"Stop jumping!" I was applying alcohol to Sevyn's wounds on her face from earlier. She looks bad. Some of the swelling went down but not all the way.

"This shit hurts. You would think after being a punching bag, I could take a little sting." Sevyn joke trying to forget about the pain.

"You've always been a big baby." I laugh applying more alcohol.

"Hey don't forget who's truly the baby."

"Really? You're only older by seven days. However,  mature wise I take the cake."

"Sure... Simone your about mature as a five year old." Sevyn laughs. That is one thing we can agree on. I am so immature when it comes to being serious. I could be in the middle of getting robbed and laugh at the fact that someone actually had the nerves to rob me.

We continue to laugh and joke around all night. For some reason that's all we knew how to do. Make the best out of the worst situation. We lay in bed, total silence, avoiding to talk about what tomorrow may bring. I guess she read my mind.

"What are we going to do tomorrow? Are you going to tell your family that we're here or.....?" I thought to myself for a while, because in all honesty I have no clue. Gathering my thoughts I decide to answer to the best of my ability.

"First we're going to look for a house or something. We have a lot of money left over in our accounts. Then we're going to visit Remy so she can help us come up with a job. Last but not least, mommy and daddy dearest. Until then lets get some rest. We have a busy day ahead of us." I end so she wouldn't ask anymore questions that I don't have the answers to.

"Love You." she replied

"Love You More."

"Impossible." Was the last thing she said before she was fast asleep.
