Tyler has always hated long road trips. Being stuck in one place for long periods of time made him super antsy and anxious. But for some reason he was quite calm on this 43 hour trip. You'd think the group would stop and stay at a hotel for one night, but Rocky just insisted he drive the rest of the way. Considering he doesn't need sleep and he knew his way to New York. He let everyone else rest as he drove the remaining hours. Once arriving the group all checked their funds.
"I have pretty much everything I've saved up plus my last pay check. So like 3,000 dollars but I would love it if ya'll pitched in some money too." Earl said and Syd nodded her head. "I have 200, and taco has like 150 because he likes to spend his money on useless shit." She said and Taco scoffed. "Listen that make your own slime set was worth it!" He explained and Syd rolled her eyes. Jasper and Lionel both had 50 dollars that the brought with them. Not having a job really puts a strain on them. Tyler pulled a whole debit card out. "My mom gave me this card, its linked directly to her bank account. She said I can use it for whatever as long as i don't go past 10,000. She's really rich cause' she's a doctor and shit." He explained and everyone looked at him with their jaws dropped.
"Wait so that's how you afford literally everything?" Jasper asked and Tyler nodded his head. "Yeah why?" He asked and Jasper just shook his head. Earl eyed everyone as he slowly hid his own card. "So who's gonna pay for the hotel?" He said quietly and the group all pointed to Tyler. He just shrugged and got out of the car; Rocky following behind him. "How many nights do ya'll even plan on staying. And you're gonna need at least two rooms. These expenses are alot T." Rocky explained to him as he walked into the hotel lobby. Tyler just nodded his head as he walked up to the front desk. The clerk working there smiled at him and spoke. "Hi welcome to the Hilton Inn, are you here to check in?" She asked nicely.
"Hi, I'd like to get two hotel rooms; two beds in each for 10 nights. I'll let you know if we stay any longer." He explained and slapped his card down. The clerk nodded as she typed a few things into the computer in front of her. "Can I see some I.D?" She asked and Tyler pulled out his driver's license. Thank god he had just turned 18. She took it and examined it and before returning it, Tyler spoke up again. "Oh and I'm autistic by the way." He said with a smile and Rocky gave him a confused look. What did that have to do with anything. The clerk made an 'oh' sound and typed something new into the computer. "Alrighty we have two hotel rooms with doubles for ten nights at a discounted price. Is that correct?" She repeated back to the two boys and Tyler gave her a thumbs up.
She swiped the card and handed him their hotel key cards. He thanked her and walked back out to the van with the others waiting. Rocky was completely confused how him being autistic got him a discount but he was even more confused that Tyler knew what he was doing. "I used to run away from home as a kid and stay in hotels when my mom would make me mad. I learned a few things while I was on my own." He explained to Rocky and Rocky just made an 'oh' sound and got back in the car with him. "Alright me Rocky, Jasper, and Lionel will room together. Syd, Taco and Earl get the other room." Tyler informed the others as he handed Syd the hotel key card. "Why does Syd get the card?" Taco whined and Syd smacked him on the fore head. "Because Syd is more responsible than you." Tyler responded and Taco grumbled.
Jasper yawned and opened the car door. "Let's hurry up and get to the hotel rooms nigga I'm tired and wanna take a nap." He said and the group agreed. They got their things and headed up to their hotel rooms. As soon as the door to their hotel room opened, Jasper ran and face planted onto the bed. Lionel rolled his eyes at him as he placed his things down by the dresser and pushed him over so he could sit. Rocky walked over to the balcony and looked out at the view. Memories of living in New York started to flood back to him and he didn't like it. He grimaced as he looked away and focused on the others in the room. He had a really shitty feeling about this. He was technically putting Tyler in danger just by being here. But he couldn't stop him from doing anything, he could only stop him from getting hurt. Tyler sat on the other bed and just looked up at the ceiling.
"So we start looking for this Ferg guy tomorrow yeah?" Lionel said to him and Tyler nodded his head. "We're going to need more information," He paused to look at Rocky who nodded his head signifying he would tell them more. "And then we can find this guy." He continued and Jasper lifted his head up. "Why are we even going after this guy in the first place?" He asked and Lionel patted his back. "It's a long story okay, maybe one day me and T will explain it to you." He said with a grin and Jasper sat up fully. "Aye nigga I'm not no child. If anything I'm more of an adult than any of you." Lionel looked at Tyler and then the two both looked at Rocky. Rocky knew exactly what they were thinking and he didn't want to do it. But with Tyler's puppy dog look he was giving him it was hard to say no. And Jasper seemed like a reasonable person. He sighed and snapped his fingers. Jasper could now see him. Jasper blinked twice as he noticed the new person who had suddenly appeared in the room. He also noticed him floating too. His jaw dropped and looked at the others.
"What the fuck."
