johns eyes were torn from the pages of his book as the bright car headlights shone through his bedroom window, he waited for them to pass but they didn't, the engine continued to run but the car seemed to stay static.
before he could even get up to look at who was outside a pebble hit his window.he hurried over and opened up his window,
and as he had expected a blonde boy was stood below."roger what are you doing?" he whisper yelled.
"i'm leaving, come with me."
the proposition lingered in johns mind- come with me, the two had spoken abt fleeing their small town for a long time, and now roger was actually doing it. john always knew it would be roger to make the move, and he had always promised to follow. to get out of the town with the controlling parents who wouldn't let the two see each other, john didn't know if they had a clue they were together or just believed roger to be a bad influence. either way he knew their views about gay people, they were the same as everyone else's in this place. john could never truly be happy here, and what love was left for his mother and father had surely faded over the years- and that was due to them.
he wanted to leave, turn away- possibly never come back, or maybe return years later, flaunting the success they said he would never have."okay." he said quietly, and turned to pack as much as he could,
clothes and money went in the largest bag he owned, tooth brush aswell and a few other things like his journals and jewellery.
he tossed the bag out the window to roger who caught it with a grin and then quickly scribbled a note to his parents leaving it on his pillow before climbing out himself.he got into the passenger seat and looked across at his boyfriend, "we're actually doing this?" he asked breathlessly.
"we are." roger smiled kissing his forehead and driving off.
a few ours in to their endless road trip john had fallen asleep, roger looked over in awe as johns face occasionally got lit up by g the street lights. the music played quietly on the radio as roger looked forwards onto the road. he was starting to get tried and decided to find a place to pull over for the night.
he ended up finding an empty car park and decided to just stop here until they could get a hotel or a proper place to stay- he was planning on going to a friends house but they still had a while to get there.
roger looked over at john again and smiled to himself, his boyfriend was so beautiful. it was a shame that they had to leave, it was a nice town, but as for the people in it couldn't say the same.
he leaned forwards and kissed john lightly on the forehead before leaning back and trying to get comfortable, in his very uncomfortable car.they were both awoken by the sunlight at around the same time, offering each other weak smiles and groggy good mornings.
they set off again and stopped at a petrol station to get breakfast."how are you feeling?" roger asked as he took a sip from his head coffee.
"good, with you." john smiled back sweetly making roger laugh and squeeze his hand.
"you slept a lot last night, still tired?"
"mm no not really, you must be though- are you sure you don't want me to drive?"
"i'm sure deaky, maybe we can swap in a few hours."
before they knew it they had almost drove half way across the country, it was nearing 4 and they had decided to find a hotel to rest at until morning.
"i'm driving all of tomorrow, no arguments." john said sternly as they got out of the car.
"fine, but you don't even know where we are going." roger rolled his eyes getting their bags out of the boot.
"yeah i don't actually, please enlighten me."
"mmm it's a surprise." roger grinned.
john huffed in annoyance but dropped the subject. they checked in to the shitty hotel and went to their room. it was dark and damp with only one small bed- not that they minded.
roger stretched out across the bed the comfort of sheets immediately making his want to fall asleep. they decided to nap before going out to find some food, and john climbed in next to his boyfriend laying his head on his chest.
"i love you." he hummed.
"i love you too." roger replied before falling asleep.
when they woke up it was dark, nearing 11 o'clock they got up and went out. they grabbed something to eat from a food truck and walked through the city they had ended up it, hand in hand.
it felt so surreal to be there, only knowing each other. they laughed as they walked past shops and neon signs, roger thought the different lightings complemented johns complexion like he had never seen before.
"please tell me where we are going rog." john said looking at his boyfriend with pleading eyes.
"i told you, it's a surprise." roger smiled, "don't give me that look, you'll love it."
after walking around for a bit longer and doing some window shopping looking at all the items they wish they could afford, they went back to the hotel to get some more sleep before the final part of their journey.
they set off early in the morning as they were both getting restless and just wanted to be somewhere they could stay for longer than 14 hours.
roger instructed john where to go as he held his hands firmly on the steering wheel. they sang to songs on the radio and cherished the last moments of being on the road.
"god what would i be without you?" john laughed.
"still just as amazing as you have always been." roger replied with a smirk.
"oh! so cheesy!" the brunette giggled turning to look at his boyfriend who laughed along.
2 hours went by and roger finally instructed john to park the car. they were finally in london, their final destination.
they got out the car and breathed in the fresh air, stretching their legs. roger look johns hand and led him to one of the houses lined up on the street.
he knocked and waiting patiently before the door swung open, revealing a boy with shoulder length dark hair- and a brilliant smile.
"roger! darling your finally here." the boy grinned coming out from the door and pulling the blond into a hug before turning to john who was standing timidly beside him.
"and you must be john, lovely to meet you- i'm freddie." he smiled and stuck out his hand.john shook it lightly and offered a quiet nice to meet you.
"come on in, brian's here too." he said and turned inside.
roger looked across at john and smiled, kissing his cheek.
the house was well decorated with plenty of paintings and colourful furniture, they walked into the living room where a curly haired boy was sat reading the newspaper, he jumped up when he heard them come in.
"rog!" he laughed and hugged the smaller boy, then acknowledging john and introducing himself.
they all sat down and freddie came in with tea, "tell me, how was the journey?"
"long." roger said rolling his eyes, "good thing i had pleasurable company" he added laying a hand on johns knee, making the younger blush.
freddie continued ambushing them with all the questions under the sun, brian occasionally pitching in when he got the chance.
john slowly became more comfortable, answering questions himself and laughing along with the others.
he was okay with the idea of this being his new home.————————
