Safe [punk l.t.]

Chapter 23

Jess' P.O.V

I wake up in a puddle of drool.

Lovely.

It would be nice to know I look somewhat beautiful when I sleep (especially with Louis) but that idea grew wings and flew out the window.

"Gross," I say and wipe my face only to look up at Louis who caught me in the act. I flush red.

"Oh...heyy..." I draw out laughing nervously.

"Good morning?" He laughs at my attempt to look good this morning.

"Stop laughing at me," I bury my head in a clean pillow this time and making groaning noises.

"Hey get up, we have to head out this morning if we want to make it to the house by night," he orders.

When I don't get up I feel a hand on my back shaking me.

"Get up," Louis whines.

"No. Go away," I mumble.

"Jessicaaaa," Louis sing-songs in my ear. "Jess," he says again.

When I don't respond I peak through the pillow only to not find Louis. Instead the bed sags as Louis jumps onto it, making me scream. I jump up and hit him with a pillow.

"Dude!" Is the only thing I can think to say at a moment like this.

"Dude!" he mocks. "Come on, seriously. We've got to head out, yeah?"

I roll my eyes but get my bag and follow him to the door. When we open it the weirdo from the front desk is there with a sly grin.

"I knew it! I'm glad you kids got the farthest room from the rest or else ya woulda kept ye neighbors up all night I recon," he chuckles.

"You know nothing old man, we did nothing of that sort," Louis says.

"Not for long Sonny," he winks.

"Uhm okay. Well, we're going to get out of here and you have a nice day. Okay? Bye," I cringe and push Louis down the sidewalk.

"H-"

"Just don't even say anything because with your mouth I know it's going to be dirty," I stop Louis.

"But you love it babe," he whispers in my ear swinging his arm around my shoulder (which I detach) and it sends shivers up my spine. Maybe I do like it? I don't know...

We walk and walk and walk some more and finally Louis mentions we're on the outskirts and it's only a little ways.

I'm starving and I need to pee because unrealistically we haven't done either so far but I am reassured there's plumbing and food at the house. Right around 10:00 we get to the small little shack. It's quite cozy looking actually. It's also in the middle of no where like Louis mentioned...great. He's probably going to murder me out here for all I know. Ahaha...uh...hm. I try not to think about that.

But he did promise to keep me safe.
