*ring* *ring* *ring* *ring* -Annoying alarm is goes off-
'UGH!' I rolled over and grabbed my phone so I can shut that shit off. 'I swear if I ever met the man who made the alarm clock, I'll straight up punch him in the balls. Why do we gotta get on the road so early anyway... it's fucking 6am all I wanna do is sleep but, NOOOOOO (YC/N) won't allow that. She wants to be on the road at 7. For god sake if I'm up before the sun, it's way to early to be awake.' I thought as I grabbed my blanket, curled into a ball and buried my face in it. I just did not want to get outta bed. No matter how hard I tried, it was almost as if I had no strength to move. After a good 5 minutes laying in bed I managed to strength to roll out of bed.

I staggered out of my bedroom and went straight to the bathroom. I ran the faucet to the sink, bent over and splashed some cool water on my face to wake myself up a little bit. I spun around and grabbed the hand towel hanging on the rack behind me, and dry off my face.

"Okay, (Y/N!) Your life changes starting now! It's your chance to be anyone you want to be. You can completely reinvent yourself. You don't want to seem like a complete fool, dork, or idiot in from of these people, do you..? Alright beautiful, you can do this. Just be yourself.. only not yourself. Now, go get dressed and text (YC/N) to make sure she's awake. I head back to my room to find I already had a text from her. "Hey I'm stopping off at Mcdicks and grabbing some breakfast before coming to get you. Are you hungry? What do you want, let me know soon because I've already left."
Well at least she offered to buy me breakfast, the cheap bitch. *giggles* I replied with "Yeah, a smoothie would be nice. Strawberry-Banana sounds good to me. I'm not that hungry right now, so that'll be all. I'm gonna go get ready, text me when you're out front."

'It's almost 7am, and I just cant be bothered to do much unless it involves going back to bed.' I start rummaging through the drawers of my dress to find myself a pair of yoga pants, and a tshirt. 'That's good enough. I'm gonna be in a car most of the day anyway, who cares what I look like.'
I barely had enough time to finish my makeup before my phone started ringing.
"Hello..?" "I'm just pulling in front now. Hurry up, I wanna beat the morning rush."
*hangs up* 'well I guess doing my hair wasn't important anyway. Hair ties to the rescue!'

I pull the handle up on my suitcase, and wheel it out the door. Before I leave, there's only 2 more things to do. I walk back into my bedroom, and pick up dad's picture. "Dad, there's a lot riding on this trip. I'm counting on you to help me to make the most of it." I return to the hallway, and I stop midway in the hall, and walk into my moms bedroom. I shake her a bit trying to get her to wake up. "Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll call you every time we make a stop, and I'll call and let you know where we get there. Love you." She didn't even open her eyes. She just good a deep breathe which sounded as thought she was sighing, and spoke to me in muffles. It shouldn't as thought she said "I love you too, be good."

Before I knew it, I was already outside locking my front door. I turned around to find my cousin jumping out at me and screaming in my face. I jumped, and screamed of course. As did she, dropping my smoothie. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! I wanna get to LA but I wanna get to LA alive, thank you!" she grabs the handle of my suitcase and begins to walk it down the driveway. "I just came to help you with your luggage, sheesh. I didn't know you were gonna scream like that."
I chase her down the driveway and into the car. I reach to my side and grab my seat belt. She's chucking my suitcase into the trunk. "Well in my defense, I didn't know you were gonna go all psycho ninja on me, sneak up behind me and scream in my face. Also, you dropped my smoothie. You owe me another one." She slides into the drivers side, and shuts her door. "Like fuck I do, that's all on you. Literally." she points down to my shoes and bottom of my pants. they're covered in smoothie. "Lick them clean bitch!" I playfully yell. "You can do that yourself when we make our first stop. As for now, let's turn up the tunes, pull up a map and just drive" She starts the car, and we begin to move. 'This is it, the start to what I hope would be the best vacation of my life!'

10:30am
Your POV
We finally came to our first stop after a few hours of driving. We were at a coffee shop new the boarder of Washington and Oregon.

"So how long is this trip going to be?" I say while picking up my cup of tea, and taking tiny sips.
"Well.." she said "the trip all together is about 19 hours. That's not accounting for any stops we make, nor sleeping. if we can make it through Oregon tonight, we can stop near the boarder of Oregon and California and get a room for the night."
she whips out her phone and checks Google to make sure she's right. "Yeah so if we make limited stops, we SHOULD be able to make it into California by 6 tonight, we can then find ourselves a hotel, grab some dinner and settle down for the night." I finish up with my tea and swipe the cup off to the side. The waitress comes around to give us our bill, and we leave.

3:00pm
We've reached our second stop, we're just about about Mid Oregon- we stop at a truck stop just off one of the major highways. We only stopped for a few minutes just to use the restroom and gas up.

6:10pm
We've finally reached the boarder of California and Oregon.

6:30pm
We cross the boarder, and are officially in California.

"Hey look, here's a motel... not exactly a 5star hotel but, who cares. Lets just stop for the night. If I stay in this car any longer I think I'll scream." I exclaim as I point out the window at the motel in the distance."Okay, okay. Works for me, I'm getting tired anyway plus I need to give Arin a call now that we've reached California and see where we're meeting him."

We pull into this motel 6, just off a major highway. Jump out of the car, walk in and register at the front desk. Me and (YC/N) walked just down the hall from the registration desk, to find room #11, which is where we'll be staying for the night. (YC/N) and I make our way into the door. It's dark, damp, and has a strange smell of moth balls mixed with a musky stench.

"Well, this is it- California! We'll go grab some dinner and come back. I do wanna get to sleep early tonight because I wanna just get back on the road. If we set our alarm for 7am, and get on the road by 8am we can be in LA around 4 tomorrow depending on traffic. Maybe sooner."

she sat on the edge of one of the beds in the room, I scoped it out, and set my suitcase down on my bed. I opened the suitcase and take out a pair of PJ's.

"Alright, so I just text Arin, he told me how to get to where we're meeting him tomorrow. He said when we get there- just walk in and down the hall there's gonna be an open door frame and to come in quietly as him and some friends are gonna be working on something"-- "I'm not entirely sure what that's about but, whatever. We don't want to disturb whatever it is they're doing." I just nod and agree it's best not to step on anyone's toes while we're here. Especially since this guy is nice enough to let us stay with him for the duration of our trip. We don't want to piss him off.

"So what do you say we go grab something to eat near by, then come back and prepare for another 8 hour car ride. Shall we?" We linked arms, walked out, closed the door behind us and found our way back to the car. We hopped in and after a few minutes of driving around we found a small family owned restaurant. It was cute, and the family that run it were all very friendly. After finishing the meal, we split the bill and leave the dinner. Another 5 minutes trip and we were back at the motel.

"Well it's already 8:30, I'm going to take a shower and then head off to bed." I state as soon as we enter our room. "Yeah, sounds good. I'll do the same when you're done." I walked into the bathroom, it wasn't exactly the cleanest but, I didn't pay much attention to it. I stripped my clothing off, and ran the shower. 'After a long day the water feels so good dripping down my body. Why am I here, why am I doing this? Yes I wanted to do this as a kid, but this is completely out of my comfort level... traveling 2,600 miles-- about to stay with some guy I never met before in my life... this isn't like me... wait, this isn't like the OLD me. Remember (Y/N) it's time to reinvent yourself. Ever since Dad died I've been living my life in a shell. Well that stops here!'

I turned off the water, grabbed the towel from over the towel rack and dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around me and walked out into the room, where (YC/N) immediately just hopped up off the bed and went into the bathroom without really saying a word. I dropped my towel to the floor, removed the suitcase from off my bed and got changed into my PJ's. "I'm gonna head to bed, night (YC/N!) 'I don't think she heard me, but oh well.' I layed down, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
