Virgils POV
Logan and I go inside and pay for the gas and get some food and drinks. Logan gets a coffee and some gum for him and Fanta Orange Soda and a candy bar for Patton. I get 2 Gatorades and some chips for me and a Root Beer and 3 candy bars for Roman. We check out and get into the car. I am the driver, Roman is next to me. Logan behind Roman, Patton behind me.
"What are you doing?" Roman asks
"Good afternoon babe. We are going to our hotel." I say as I hand him his snacks and soda.
"Thank you." He says as he kisses me.
"Your welcome. Well lets get on the road." I say.
I play my music. High hopes from Panic at the Disco turn on. I smile at Roman, he smiles back. I start to drive.

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing" Roman sings

"Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living" I sing

"Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes" Patton sings

"Mama said
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny
Back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything" We all sing

"Mama said
Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history
Light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, everyday
We wanted everything, wanted everything" Roman and I sing

"Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting" We all sing together

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing" Roman sings

"Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes" I sing

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes" Patton sings

"Mama said
It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders
Ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything" We all sing

"Stay up on that rise" Patton sings

"Stay up on that rise and never come down" Roman sings

"Stay up on that rise" Logan sings

"Stay up on that rise and never come down" I sing

"Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated" Roman sings

"All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting" I sing

"They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me" Patton sings

"So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see" Logan sings

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing" Roman sings

"Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes" I sing

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes" Roman and I sing

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing" Roman sings

"Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes" I sing

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes" We all sing

We all start laughing.
"That was amazing!" Patton yells
"It was." I say as I smile.

Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more.
Plays, Roman is about to skip it. Then I hit his hand and pause it.
"Roman, Driver picks the music, shot shuts his cakehole."
"Okay." He says defend
I play the music.

"Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say" I sing

"Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more." I sing

"Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say" I sing

"Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more." I sing

"Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you" I sing

"Carry on my wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more" I sing

"Virge." Roman says
"Ro."
"You are an amazing singer."
"I am not."
"Yes you are." Roman, Patton, and Logan all say
"Thanks." I say

We keep talking and laughing. It is 8:36pm and we arrive at the hotel.
