"Guys, it's raining really hard" Mikey says from the drivers seat.

"Keep driving" jake insists, it's like he wants to kill us all.

"We need to stop for the night" I mutter, just as the car almost hits another one.

I instantly feel my body forcefully hit the back of the seat, I look up, sending a glare toward Mikey.

"What the fuck, be careful, there's a hotel up the road, about 20 minutes" I say.

"And I don't plan on dying tonight"

"Savanna, calm down" zach murmers from beside me In the back seat, pulling me to his chest and resting his jaw on my shoulder, wraping his arms around me.

I sigh, relaxing into zach and try to foucus on something besides Mikey's hideous driving skills.

I look up at zach, who currently has his head directed out the window.

You can tell by the look on his face, he's just as panicked as I am, yet he holds it in better than I do.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly, directing zachs chin with my hand.

He nods, his eyes not quite meeting mine though.

"You look sad" I point out, but we had such a good day.. for the most part, at least.

Zach smiles smally, but I can tell it was forced, "just tired"

I decide not to push him, he's had a long enough day, so I simply nod, leaning in and lightly pressing my lips against his.

"I love you, zach"

He smiles smally, "I love you to"

I sigh happily, wraping my arms around zach small figure, just as he snuggles closer to me.

"Almost there?" I hear jake ask mikey, loomimg over at the consintrated blonde.

"Almost, like 8 minutes" Mikey mutters back, not glancing away from the road, like it's a top priority to make it there.

Which it is.

I hear zach let out a soft yawn, his eyes closing, and I hold back the urge to awe like a maniac.

He relaxes into the seat, just as I relax into his chest, comfortably.

I turn my head to peer out the window, taking in all the wet and passing cars.

Within no time we pull up into a modern looking hotel, comfort in I think it is.

To be honest iv never liked hotels, first off all the things aren't yours, you don't know what has happend on them.

Second off, I just hate being away from home, even if I'm with people I feel closer to than anyone else.

It's currently just mikey, jake, zach and I, Eli decided to catch a ride home with my uncle.

Speaking of, I should probably call him and let him no that we won't be back... I'll do it later.

"Here we are" Mikey sighs, parking the car, whilst handing the car keys back to me.

"Zach" I whisper, now noticing he has fallen asleep.

I know how hard it is for zach to get a decent rest, so I really hate the fact that I have to wake him up.

Zach stires softly.

"Hey, were here" I say, hesitantly shaking his shoudler, very lightly that is.

With that action, zachs eyes shoot open, looking panicked for about ten seconds, but he soon takes a look around and I notice him visibly relax.

"Were at the hotel" I say, zach nods.
