Tomorrow is the day.

Laura & Myself.

And our parents.

We are all hopping onto a deluxe caravan, heading all over America, with a slight de-tour of the Grand Canyon.

My mum & I are staying at the Marano's, they allowed me to stay in Laura's room under the condition that nothing happens, not that anything would happen. Although, I'd like for it to.

Anyway, with me staying in Laura's, my mother gets the guest room. We all discussed and realised it would be easier to all aboard at their house rather than them coming to us, it saves some travel time.

Plus with my mother staying here too, she can get some more bonding time in with Laura's parents, the better they bond, the better this trip will be, I'd rather they got on, than there would be an awkwardness all 2-3 months round trip.

Laura's parents also insisted that we bought ourselves new luggage, even though we had perfectly good ones back at ours. They insisted, if anything. My mum raised me not to be disrespectful, and declining their offer would've done that.

My mum & I bought new luggage, as did Laura too.

We got half & half cases. 

Half soft, half hard cases, hard to protect what would sit inside, soft so that would go with the rest of the luggage too. Plus, we liked the designs that they came in.

"Ross, as the song isn't quite done yet. How would you like for us to continue it on the road?" I nodded, but one thought ran through my mind.

"Sounds good, but only one thing..." I pause for a minute, thinking on how to word it.

"What is it Ross? Have you changed your mind on the lyrics?" I could hear the worry in her voice. I stand up and walk over and sit next to her on the bed.

"Of course not, this song is turning into something amazing. If nothing, it will be or it would be a hit" She smiled.

"I'm just wondering, if we are going to take it on the road, how are we going to do that without the keyboard" She chuckles and quickly skips over to her night stand, opening the door and taking something out. Closing the drawer she comes back over and sits next to me once again.

"This, my Ross, is how we are going to continue the song on the road" She holds an iPad Pro, the 12.7inch model.

"I have an application on this that basically replicates a keyboard, nothing different, no different keys, nothing. All the same" I could feel a shocked expression spread across my face.

"Whoa, this is incredible. I know this only came out half a year ago. But, I honestly never thought I'd get to see one in person" I reach out, silently hoping Laura would let me hold it.

I've never held one before, my mum doesn't earn much and I haven't saved up my allowance, because I am simply an idiot for it.

"You've not got one?" I shake my head, unlocking the device in my hand, the screen is so bright and it amazes me. I am genuinely surprised by how amazing this is.

"I love it, but yeah, the application. I am guessing it's the only one here that says Piano?" She gives me a sarcastic look, I dare it back.

Laura & I experiment some more of the song on the Piano application on the iPad, she was right. No key sound out of place, it's literally a portable keyboard.

It's been a few hours since Laura & I starting trying to write more of this song. Just as we are about to take a break, I hear my mum knock on Laura's door. She has Laura's parents following her.

"Hey kiddies, Damiano & Ellen are here to ask if you's are all ready and set to go?" Laura & I both nod. I am literally so excited for tomorrow.  

"Well, all 3 of us agree that is probably best if you two head to bed and get some decent sleep for tomorrow" Laura & I agree and close the iPad down after saving what we have came up with.

The parents walk out and close the door behind them.

We both get into our sleep-ware.

We climb into bed, a little distance between us. I can feel my heart-beat racing for some reason, I know I have felt a little crush on Laura, but we have spent the night millions of times. This, right here, should not be any different.

"Ross, can I ask you a favour and you have to promise not to make a big deal out of it?" I nod, not really understanding what she was asking. That's when she turns away and backs herself up into me. My instincts for some reason kick in and I for some reason know to pull her in and hug her from behind.

This, THIS.

Felt right.

Having Laura in my arms, at night, under bed covers, almost on the verge of sleeping. It felt right.
