A/n So I had a lot of fun writing the last chapter so I decided to do a part 2 because the car ride is super long. Also because I need filler chapters (although this does have random plot so bare with me) and ya know why not. Also I'm just using Ella's pov as a default right now.
ELLA POV

It's like 1 am. We've been driving for like 6 hours. It's been a struggle for us to stay awake. I have to stay awake to keep Philip awake and Philip needs to ya know drive.

"It's cold" I mutter into the darkness.

"Why don't you see if my mom grabbed you a sweatshirt?" Philip sleepily suggested.

I nod and go lean into the back to look through the stuff when Philip's phone goes off. I pick up his phone and see that the caller id says 'Ma' so I answer it and put her on speaker.

"Hi Eliza" I yawn.

"Hi Ella, are you two still driving?" She asks.

"Yeah, we're in Maryland right now" I answer and snap my fingers in Philip's face so he stays awake.

"Why don't you guys stop at a hotel?" Eliza suggests. I look at Philip and he shrugs. "You can just use my cred-"

"I'll pay for it" I say before Eliza can finish her sentence.

"Sweetie you do have to do that" Eliza sweetly says.

"Have you seen my dad's houses? I'll pay for it"

"I have a feeling I'm gonna lose this argument" Eliza sighs.

"Yes, yes you are"

"Alright well I dont care as long as you kids get some sleep. I'll talk to you guys in the morning. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Eliza"

"Night Ma"

I look over at Philip and sigh. Eliza's right, we really need some sleep. No, scratch that- Philip really needs some sleep. I'm ok. I pick up my phone that has the gps going and put in the nearest hotel. 

"Are you still cold?" Philip asks.

"Yeah... why?" I glance at him confused.

"Did you find a sweatshirt or blanket?"

"No, but I didn't really look that well"

"Here..." he reaches back and digs through some stuff. He hands me something soft but it's so dark that I can't see what it is. "Just wear mine, I knew where it was"

"Alright" I put the hoodie on (yes with the seatbelt on, it's a skill) and sunk into it.

After a while we pull into a hotel parking lot. I hand Philip all of the stuff we'll need to bring into the hotel and we head in.

"Hi, how may I help you?" The lady at the front desk asks, although it was quite obvious she didn't want to be here.

"Hi, can we get a room?" (That's wha- sorry) I asked, as politely as I could at 1 am.

"We only have one bed rooms at the moment, is that ok for you?"

One bed. Geez author very original. I could always just sleep on the couch if the room has one. I glance over at Philip and see him practically falling asleep standing up. I sigh and answer her. "Yes, that's fine"

"Alright"

After a while me and Philip got up to our room. It has a king sized bed up against the wall by the window in the back of the room with a decent sized TV on an entertainment center in front of it. The front of the room was basically a mini kitchen. So no couch.

"Come on Ella, let's get some sleep" Philip says placing a hand on my shoulder.

~Time skip to le morning~
PHILIP POV

I open my eyes to my phone going off. Ugh I'm still so tired. I barely remember getting to a hotel last night. Wait where's Ella? I glance beside me and see her practically in my arms. I quickly realize that she is where most of my warmth is coming from, as she's asleep up against my body. My phone goes off again. I carefully move my arm, trying not to wake up Ella, and go to grab my phone.

One missed call - Ma
One new message - Ma

I click on the message.

Hey Pip, or Ella if you have his phone. Call me whenever you wake up. I want to check up on you.

I slowly and carefully slither my way out of the kings sized bed. I go to the far side of the hotel room and call back my mom.

"Hey Ma" I say quietly into the phone.

"Hey Pip, how's it going?"

"Um I just woke up, Ella's not up yet, but we haven't died so thats a start."

"How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty decent. I mean even if I were in my bed I doubt I would sleep all that great."

"Remember that you can use my credit card to get food or anything you guys need on the way."

"Alright Ma"

"Stay safe, I love you"

"Love you, bye"

"Bye Pip"

I sigh and look over at Ella. I mean at least I have her... although what if she's only talking to me because she feels bad for me or something? Like is she just gonna stop talking to me after we find Pa? I mean we were never really friends in the first place. What am I thinking? Yeah Philip go and have a crush on a girl who you used to hate and make fun of and easily say was your worst enemy. Go like a girl who hates boys who play on girl they see. Go like the perfect girl who hates you.

"Philip...." I hear Ella say from the bed behind me.

I turn around and Ella lazily sitting up on her arm, with her hair exploding more than mine is right now. (Which I didn't think was possible till now). "Good Morning" I say, giving Ella a small smile.

"Morning" she yawns.

"How'd you sleep?" I ask.

"Well if you count laying down for 6 hours, I slept amazing! But if you count actually sleeping, I got maybe an hour." Ella groans and falls backwards onto the bed. "But I'll be fine. How'd you sleep? I mean you seemed to be sleeping all night."

"I slept pretty good. I mean I've slept worse." I say with a small forced laugh.

Ella gives me a small, but genuine, smile. "Well we should probably head out again."

~Time Skip to when they're on the road again~

"Hey Ella?" I say, glancing at her from the corner of my eye.

She mutters a small 'Hm?' in response, not looking up from her phone, which had the map she was trying to fix.

"How come whenever you talk about your family you only talk about Mary?" I had been wondering this for a while and never knew how to ask. It seems like a personal thing that I don't have to know but I'm nosy so why not. Also because I guess I care about her and you know it is kinda strange and it might help to talk about it.

She put her phone back where we could both see it and started playing with her hands. "Umm... N-N-No reason. W-Why?"

I turn my head to face her. "Ella, you're doing that thing where you stutter a lot whenever you lie or are anxious"

"How the fuck do you know that?" Ella raises her voice slightly, making me flinch.

I face the road again. "I'm not stupid Ella! I've known you forever! I'm just trying to help you!" I yell, but not too loud.

"Sorry" she mumbles.

I look back at her. She stares out the window on the passengers side, probably trying to avoid eye contact with me. I grab her hand that's resting on the far side of her seat, closest to me. "Don't apologize. That was personal and I shouldn't've asked. I'm sorry"

Ella gives me an obviously half-hearted smile. Her phone rings and she answers it, putting it on speaker.

Ella's Pov, cause I said so

"Hey Dad" I say answering my phone.

"Hi Ellie, how're you doing?"

"Eh, we're alright" I glance at Philip then look forward. "How are you and Mar?"

"We're-" Dad started but Mary cut him off.

"I started new treatment today!" Mary yelled into the phone.

Philip and I quietly laugh at my sisters enthusiasm. "That's great Mar"

"Anyway, I just wanted to check on you" Dad says. "Don't do anything stupid"

I roll my eyes. "Geez I'm not doing Philip"

Philip literally spits water all over the driver's seat of his dad's car. I stifle some laughter at her red face.

"YOU SHOULD!" I hear someone, that definitely wasn't my dad or Mary, yell from the other side of the phone.

"Shut up Angie!" Me and Philip yell at he same time.
