The trip to the lookout took a turn for the worst because of roadworks and the worst part was we couldn't cancel the trip here, because there was nowhere safe to exit either. And the even worse part was that the ice-cream was melting making me grumpy. Billie and I were sitting right at the back of the uber. She was currently passed out with her legs thrown over my lap, body curled to my side and head on my shoulder.

The car hit a bump in the road, resulting in Billie to jump a little before readjusting herself into the crook of my neck. Making me smile and lean into her, to get comfy.

"Doesn't like you and universe showing you big green lights my ass" I heard Lucy whisper to Zoe and Pen who looked at us and laughed while agreeing. I let out a little laugh at that too.

I reached around to cup her cheek and move her hair behind her ear, earning a sigh from Billie.

"Hey mate, so obviously we aren't getting out of this anytime soon so do you want me to go into the city when we can?" the driver asked Finneas.

We all nodded our heads to him.

"Yeah man, that'd be great thanks" Fin responded with a thumbs up.

Sooner rather than later we were able to get out of the road works and into a turn off for the city. I noticed we were near a clearing that was along the river.

"Hey, would you be able to stop here please?" I asked to the driver.

And sure enough he pulled over.

"I've been here before when I was younger, there is a clearing on the river along here" I said to everyone.

"Bil, hey we are here" I whispered to the girl on my shoulder.

I patter her cheek softly causing her to stir and further herself into the crook of my neck.

"Mamas lets go" I said louder, this time gaining her attention.

I grabbed the sleepy girls hand and our food before pulling us out of the car and thanking the driver.

"This way" I told everyone and guided them down the street to the clearing.

"Oh shit! Have you guys told your parents where you are? And that you're with us?" I exclaimed.

Finneas and Billie started howling with laughter.

"Yeah Harri, I told them ages ago that a girl caught Bils eye" Fin said with a smirk, that earned him a hard punch in his shoulder from his younger sister. He jumped from his spot laughing and ran around to hide behind a giggling Claudia.

I watched the interaction between the siblings, they reminded me so much of Jock and I. Which reminds me I needed to call him and tell about my crazy as shit day.

I started walking with Zoe to the clearing and everyone followed behind.

"It's so beautiful here" Zoe said while looking at the nature around us.

"Yeah, it's so rare to find a city that keeps it's nature. But we are so lucky for that here" I said back to her smiling.

"You know, Bil was so keen but at the same time didn't want to do this tour because of how exhausted she is. But literally after this afternoon, her mood has picked up drastically" Zoe informed me while I looked back at Billie.

"Yeah, it's so crazy. But I guess everything happens for a reason" I said off into the night.

"And here we are!" I said excitedly with my arms in the air.

They all looked around at the scenery with their mouth open in shock. I smiled and let them take it in, it was far enough away from the city and more suburban so you could see the stars and the slight breeze was nice. Luckily the grass had been mowed recently so worrying about snakes wasn't a problem.
