Exodus

New Orleans

We arrive in New Orleans

"Were here!"
I shout, causing Shyanne to jump out of her sleep.

"What the fuck?"
She says and I laugh.

"Sorry, got a little excited."
I haven't been home in two years.

"We're here?"
She questions.

"Yeah you slept through most of the drive after we got out of the hotel."
I say, giving her an annoyed look. Even though we took turns driving. I live in California so I wouldn't be able to drive for nearly two days Alone.

"Then why am I still tired?"
She yawns, I roll my eyes.

"I told Ruby I wanna be with him."
Her head snaps towards me.

"When?"

"Last night, well this morning."
I smile.

"And you let him leave without you?"

"I'm going now aren't I? Plus I didn't want it to get in the way of everything I have going for me."
My tone gets serious.

"Why are we in New Orleans anyway? I thought the boys were still touring."
She questions as she jumps in the back seat to get snacks.

"They are, they're doing a couple shows here so I know they won't be on the tour bus. They'll be staying at the house."
I say as I pull into a Taco Bell.

"Didn't they take the tour bus back here? Why didn't they just fly? it would have been so much quicker."
She munches on her chips.

"I don't know, stop asking so many questions."
I joke.

"I want a crunch wrap, two soft tacos, a bean burrito no onions extra red sauce, one hard taco, and a chicken quesadilla. Oh and also, a sprite."
I look at her with wide eyes.

"Fat ass, are you going to eat all of that?"
She gives me a look as if to say 'biiiitch'

"Okay."
I say as I pull up.
-
We pull up to the house I spent most of my time. Really I practically lived at this house. There are some cars parked out front. I am exhausted from driving for so long I just want to lay with Ruby in his bed.

We get out of the car and walk up to the door. I start to get a little nervous I don't know why. I go to knock on the door and Shyanne stops me.

"What are you doing, you've known them for how long? Why are you knocking just walk in."
I roll my eyes and knock on the door.

"common courtesy."
I laugh.

"Cherry, what are you doing here?"
Scott says as he whips the door open.

"Surprise."
I say, he takes me into his arms.

"Big ass surprise. I thought you didn't want to leave?"
He has a very confused look on his face and I can't help but laugh.

"Wow, I though you would be happy so see me but I guess not."
I say playfully.

"I am very happy to see you."
He says.

"Okay so let me in."
I push him aside. When I step into the living room I drop my bags. I didn't expect this.
