Part 34

We finish our lunch with small talk then get ready to leave. "Okay I'm going to get changed into something comfortable. We are going to get a hotel tonight and then bright and EARLY we will leave. Say 5 am?" I said about to head upstairs. Colby groaned a little but agreed and so did everyone else. I change and we headed to our cars. We drove for 4 hours just talking about random stuff until I turned the radio on. "Ugh. Country?" Mike said. "Yes country. You're gonna hear a lot of it. Might as well get used to it." I said sassily. "Oh damn." Aryia said laughing a little, but when I didn't change the music he stopped. "Wait you're serious?" He asked. "Yeah. I'll change it for now but you will have to listen to it eventually." I said giving the aux cord to colby who's in the passenger seat. "Okay play whatever." I said colby played a bunch of songs I've never heard but they were good. We were driving for another 2 hours until Kat called. "What's up girly?" I asked as her voice came over the speakers of my truck. "We need a bathroom." She said kind of laughing. "Okay can y'all wait like 20 minutes? There is a rest stop in 2 exits." She said yes and we hung up. We got off and everyone went to the bathroom. "Can I ride with you?" Reggie asked. "Yeah. But you need to trade with someone." I answered. Aryia volunteered and then got into Kevin's car. Reggie and Cassie got in and we were on our way. "This is a nice truck!" Reggie said looking around. "Thank you. I've had it forever." I laughed a little. "How long have you done rodeo?" Cassie asked, I looked at her threw my mirror and smiled, "My best friend and I used to go to fairs a lot, and one time they had a riding contest. She signed me up and I wound up winning. The director was a rodeo trainer and his son is now my best friend, aka the guy Kat and I were talking about earlier. But he asked me to join his team and after some time I agreed. I went to rodeos every week." I was smiling ear to ear. "You look like you love it." Colby said and I nodded. "It was going to be my career. Until..well..the accident and my fathers death." I said frowning a little and gripping my steering wheel and little harder. "But hey! I'm getting back to it. I'm so happy." I laughed and then we kept talking until Mike, Cassie and Reggie fell asleep. "'How much longer?" I asked colby, who was looking at the map on his phone. "30 minutes till we get to the hotel." He said looking up at me. "Okay can you call Kat then Kevin then Tara?" I asked he nodded. I told them all that we were almost at the hotel and that we were going to share rooms to save money. We got to the hotel and me, Devyn, are sharing a room. Jake and Tara, Kat and Sam, Xepher and Griffin, and Reggie and Cassie are sharing a room. Corey, Mike, Aryia, Kevin, and Colby are sharing a room.
