LIAM's POV:

"Lou! We're on a highway in traffic, stop going so fast!" we really actually weren't going all that fast, but we were going much faster than the other cars.

"I'm doing fine, Liam! You should be proud that I at least remembered the use the right side of the road." he snaps back. The GPS is also being really annoying, I mean, can't it tell we're moving like racing turtles?! It just keeps repeating "Continue on this route for 10 miles". We are!

"'I'M HUNGRY!" Niall complains. "I could eat Harry!"

Harry's eyes widen, "Don't eat me!" he retorts in a high, defensive voice. "Eat Zayn." he smirks. Cheeky thing.

"But I'm too pretty to be eaten!" he cries.

"No one is eating anyone." I say firmly. "Niall, we'll stop at a Burger King when we pass one, okay?" Niall nods but rubs his tummy and groans.

"How much longer?" Harry asks.

"Well," Louis says, reaching over to look at the GPS, "at this rate, I guess it could take a few days. Nah, I'm kidding. If the traffic lightens up about thirty minutes, but if not probably an hour."

The boys all groan.

I sit and look out the window. I miss Dani. It's only been a few weeks. That's why I wanted to go. Maybe it will help me get over her. I lay my head against the window. There aren't many girls like her; quiet, sweet, calm...

"You okay, Li?" Zayn asks, looking up from his phone. I smile reassuringly.

"I'm fine."

LAUREN's POV:

We trotted around the ring twice more before riding around the corner and into the barn. We were both hot-- we had been working on jumping all morning because I have a huge event coming up, and last year I came in third. This year, I am determined to win Champion.

I lead Merlin outside, tying him to a fence, and taking off his tack while deeply pondering what having five babysitters must be like. They're probably going to quit because they'll hate me so much.

I turn on the hose outside, splashing the frigid water on my arms, and over my hands- rubbing the water on the back of my neck, and letting a few drops of water trickle down my spine.

As a begin to bathe Merlin, Cathetine pulls into the driveway.

Oh have I mentioned that we basically live together? Or might as well anyway.

"Hey." she says, smiling. Her sunglasses are on her head, tucking her curls are behind her ears.

"Hi." I say, looking up a bit to notice and then looking back down.

"They're coming today, right?" she asks, leaning against the wall. Ugh. I really don't want them to. I nod, pursing my lips. "Oh, come on. How bad could they be? I'm sure we'll have fun." she encourages.

"Oh yeah. Over my pallid, lifeless body." I say, not looking up.

"Just... Be nice. Okay?" I snort. I can't make any promises. "Please at least try." she pleads. I sigh.
