I gasped as I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake. "Lee, wake up," whispered Austin. I groaned and rolled onto my other side. "Seriously, it's like nine in the morning, we need to head to the bus." 

I sighed and sat up. "What time do we need to be there?" I asked.

"By ten. Tino texted me, and apparently everyone's pissed that we aren't there yet." He answered.

"Okay. I think I packed all my clothes yesterday, I just need to get my toothbrush and makeup." I mentally went over a list in my brain. We'd only be gone for two weeks, so I didn't have to worry too much.

"Alright. For breakfast we're gonna stop at Dunkin Donuts, I guess everyone wants donuts and coffee." He said, rubbing his neck.

"Okay, sounds good to me." I replied.

I got out of bed and searched my drawers, putting on a long sleeved gray shirt, with an Asking Alexandria t-shirt on top, and some black skinny jeans. Austin put on the same outfit he had worn yesterday, since he didn't have a change of clothes at my house. I got everything I needed and shoved it in the front pocket of my suitcase.

I hesitated as I passed the space where I hid my razor. If I wanted to, I could pack it, and I knew that. I decided not to, I didn't want to disappoint Austin, and I seriously didn't need the temptation right now.

I pushed my suitcase in the trunk of my car, and Austin hopped in the driver's seat. We stopped at Dunkin and got a variety of donuts, and coffees for everyone. We arrived at the bus a little bit late, to the annoyance of everyone, but they could deal with it.

I put my suitcase in a designated drawer, checking out my bunk. It was tiny, but I wasn't going to ask for much. It had a DVD player, and I was thankful enough for that.

We crowded around the little table in the kitchen area and ate our donuts. I had a chocolate one, and licked the frosting off my fingers. When I finished, I sat on the couch with a book, still sipping my coffee. It was a biography of John and Abigail Adams, two of my favorite historical figures. Austin came over and sat next to me. "What are you reading?" he asked, touching the ends of my hair softly.

"It's called Abigail and John, and it's about John Adams and his relationship with his wife. It's really sweet," I explained, smiling as I turned a page.

"I sense a history nerd," he sang, laughing.

"Hey! History is cool!" I said, pouting.

"I know it is, but I like teasing you," he said before kissing my cheek. I giggled and pulled him in for a kiss on the lips. It didn't take me long to forget about my book, and concentrate on making out. 

Alan and Phil walked in, Alan saying "Eewww, get a room," as he sat down. I pulled away from Austin, blushing. Phil shook his head and laughed, and Austin was still leaning towards me. 

I picked up my book from where I had dropped it, and straightened out my shirt. "What time is it?" I asked, looking around for a clock.

"It's like almost one," Phil answered. 

"I'm so fucking bored," Alan announced, rolling his head back and staring at the ceiling. 

"Go rub up on a pole and spread your scent so that all gingers will know you were here," I mumbled. I heard Austin and Phil laugh, and Alan was grinning. 

"I think I'm gonna get a beer, do you guys want one?" Phil asked. I passed, but I was the only one. He came back with a couple of beers and turned on the T.V. We watched some shows on the Discovery Channel about parasites and diseases. It didn't take me long to be really grossed out, so   I excused myself to my bunk and put in The Notebook. Call me sappy, I don't care, it's one of my favorites.
