The summer road trip

(Chapter 8) Spending the night in the car.

A few hours later.

"How many more hours do we have?" I said, while leaning my head on the window. "Nine hours, It's getting super later and I'm getting really tired. We're gonna have to stop and rest." Brayden said, "I just feel really bad, our siblings in the middle of nowhere in a foreign place." I said, I can't help but feel like this is all my fault. "They are going to be ok, we'll stop for at least four hours so I can rest. Then we'll get back on the road and get them back to safety." Brayden said, then placed his hand on my leg. "Yeah you're right, also when we get back on the road I can do the rest of the driving." I said, "Yeah sure," Brayden replied.

Later in Mexico.

"I can't believe we're sleeping in a fucking homeless shelter." Connor said then slammed his book bag on the ground. "Shut the fuck up Connor and be glad we have a place to stay." Colton said, "yeah and besides we might as well get used to this. We're all gonna be homeless after our parents find out what happened!" I said, "at least they aren't gonna kill you, my parents are fucking asian they had a heart attack when I got a b! So if they find out about all this shit i'm literally a dead man!" Connor said, "Try having a black mom she's literally gonna throw anything in her reach!" I said, then we all chuckled it's nice that we're able to laugh in our situation.

"My mom is worst then all of yours she just doesn't give a fuck. There's a reason why that whore has been divorced three times." Colton said, "Don't call your mom a whore." I said, "She is all she cares about is men, she doesn't even care is she's raising the ones she birthed! I don't get why I have to go to her shitty wedding, she's gonna have another one like next year just like last time." Colton said, "Guess that's one thing our moms have in common they can't keep a man. Ever since my moms boyfriend and her had my little sister, he's been so absent. It's only a matter of time before he leaves and never comes back, just like my dad. I wish he took me with him honestly." I said,

"We should get some rest," Connor said then i rolled his sleeping bag out. "Yeah goodnight guys." Colton said, "Goodnight," I said.

Later in Las Vegas.

"We should stop soon to get some rest, we've been driving for almost eight hours." Brayden said, "Yeah, I just feel really bad that our brothers are out there all alone." I said then Brayden took a sharp turn at a truck stop. "Me too, but all of them know better than that." He said then unrolled the windows a little, and reclined his seat back. "I know better too, I shouldn't have came on this trip. None of this would be happening because, they wouldn't have been at Connors to begin with if I stayed." I said then adjusted my seat,

"Well I'm glad you came with me, I really am. If you didn't come, we wouldn't have gotten this close you know." Brayden said, then turned to face me. "Yeah I guess," I said then Brayden caressed my face and kissed me deeply. "What are we? Like we've kissed a few times a..and..." I said then Brayden shushed me, "I like you a lot Leilani and I've kind of liked you for a few years. I know I had a shitty way of showing it by being rude and annoying around you. It's because when I'm around you, you make me feel I don't know happy and not makes me do stupid things. But If you don't want to I don't know do stupid things with me, then let me know?" Brayden said, "Is that your way of asking me out?" I said then laughed quietly. "Yeah I..I guess it is." Brayden said then grabbed my hand.

"Yes Is will go out with you Brayden." I said then he hugged me tightly. "Goodnight Brayden," I said then he hugged me from behind, and kissed my neck. "Goodnight beautiful," he replied.
