You can hardly believe you are already halfway done with the road trip. Last night was a hard one. You and the team investigated Cambria County Jail where Dakota had the genious idea to lock one person in the dungeon alone with no walkie. Yours just happened to be the name drawn to take on the challenge.

Needless to say you are mentally and physically exhausted after this investigation. The journey to the next location is long so you all decided to check into a hotel and rest up for the night before continuing on.

A few rooms had been reserved so you all make your way to the lobby to check in and figure out the sleeping arrangements.

"Okay, Im taking the two queen room with Y/N, I need a break from the testosterone!" Tanner says with a laugh, "Sorry Chels, but you are gonna have to room with your brother."

"No fair! I've had to live with him for my whole life!" Chelsea protests, "But I guess one night won't kill me." She smiles knowingly at you. Cheslea is the only one who knows your true feelings for Tanner and has been routing for you to finally make it happen with him.

Everyone grabs their keys and you head off to your rooms. Tanner had chosen the only room on a separate floor from the other two rooms.

Did he do that on purpose? Could he be trying to get me alone?

You dismiss the thought as wishfull thinking. If he felt the same you would have been able to pick up on it by now right?

"I hope you don't mind me stealing you away from Chelsea," Tanner says as he slides the room key into the slot on the door, "I've missed hanging out just the two of us." His cheeks turn slightly pink and his eyes drop to the floor.

"I know, I'm just so wonderful!" You say with a smile and jab him with your elbow to lighten the mood.

He rolls his eyes and laughs as you both enter the room.

You set your bag down on the bed closest to the door and the weight of the day finally hits you, "I'm wiped after today, do you mind if I take a quick shower? I've got dungeon all over me."

"Yeah you could use one!" He shoots back, dramatically waving his hand in front of his nose.

You shoot him a death stare as you head into the bathroom.

A hot shower is just what you needed. You linger a few extra minutes letting the hot water wash away the previous night.

After you wash up you step out of the shower and throw on a clean pair of shorts and a baggy t shirt. You smile to yourself as you remember this is one of Tanner's old shirts you had stolen from him one summer at the lake.

When you bend down to pick up your towel your head begins swimming and you have to steady yourself on the counter as you stand up.

Water must have been too hot, I think Im over heated. Better go lay down.

As you exit the bathroom your head begins spinning again. That familar sensation that comes right before you pass out. You try to make it to your bed in time but its no use. Darkness overtakes your vision and you hit the floor.

******

Your eyes flutter open and you hear a faint voice in your ear as the fog begins to lift from you.

"Y/N! Can you hear me?"

Your vision clears and the world comes back into focus. You begin to notice a throbbing in your elbow and hip where you must have hit the ground.

"There she is," you hear Tanner say lovingly, "You really gave me a scare for a minute there."

"Tanner? What...what happened?" You ask still a little groggy.
