Buzzz... Buzzz...

"Make it stop" I mumbled. But it kept buzzing. After a few moments of trying to gain consciousness, I was able to identify that it was the intercom ringing.

I opened my eyes and screamed a lot.

"WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT DID YOU BURN?" Ryder shot awake screaming that. What does he mean 'What did you burn?' the f*ck.

"All I saw was a big foot and I got scared" I explained. His foot was in my face.

"Oh for goodness sake." Ryder grumbled "It's not even that big"

"You know what they say about guys and their feet?"

"Oh shut up it's too early for this"

Too early? It felt like I've been sleeping for a really long ti- THE BUS.

"OH MY GOSH" I screamed and jumped off the couch, landing on the floor head first.

"What now?" Ryder huffed.

"The bus is supposed to leave at 12:30 pm" I said, rereading the tickets to make sure that I was right.

"So? It's still," he said, checking his phone "1:23 pm. F*ck"

"I ruined Christmas" I said, then got startled again by the intercom. I answered it and it was Sage.

A few minutes later and he was at the door, which I had already opened.

"Hey sleeping beauties" he said sarcastically. "I take it you're taking Prince Philip's bus?"

"Really funny. I ruined Christmas" I sighed.

Sage entered and slumped on the couch. Ryder had gone to the bathroom.

"You do realize we have cars right? We can always drive there. I mean how far is it? An hour?"

"It's about a three hours drive" I stated bluntly.

"Damn" he cursed. "Well we could take one car split the gas bill?"

"That's a great idea!"

"Yeah on one condition. I'll drive."

I mean he has a point. I suck at driving. I'm a danger to everything on the roads, even birds.

"Fine by me"

"Me too" Ryder said from the kitchen doorway. He was hearing the conversation apparently.

He looked apologetically at Sage, and even thought he still doesn't believe us, he apologized to him. Sage being the angel he is accepted it and they hugged it out.

Great. One less problem in our way.

"I'll take the back seat" Stell said as she climbed into the back. She wasn't even gonna help us put our bags in the trunk. Lazy ass.

It didn't take us long though. I only had a small duffel, Sage too. Stell had even smaller one because she said she has clothes at home. It made sense.

And so we were on our way.

Sage said that we would have to stop two or three times at the gas station. Honestly I was so anxious. I was in deep sh*t.
