This, this is the reason I don't drink or eat anything before going on flights. The need to pee woke me up. Not only did I have to go to pee, but I was in a different position from I had remembered falling asleep in. My head was resting on Rodrick's lap-sick bastard. One of his hands was on my head stroking my hair and the other was up my hoodie, resting on my lower back. When I moved to get up, he jumped slightly.

I glared at him, but he pretended not to know what happened. Rodrick was still watching the show. He offered me the earpiece, but I refused it. Instead, I looked out the window and checked my phone. I had only been asleep for an hour. That means we have 2 hours before stopping at the airport for our next flight. I fidgeted in my seat, and Rodrick took notice of my actions.

" Are you ok?" he asked after pausing the episode.

" I have to go to the bathroom." His expression changed from curious to annoyed.

" It's right over there, just go." If only it was that easy.

" I don't like airplane bathrooms. They're weird, and disgusting, and they also make me feel claustrophobic."

" You're lying, you don't get claustrophobic. If you were then you would have been freaking out in the closet," Rodrick referred to a party he dragged me to after Paisley and him broke out. He wanted to rebound, so we played 7 minutes in heaven. Rodrick spun the bottle and it landed on me.

I ended up almost being Rodrick's rebound, but it didn't happen. He hooked up with this other girl from another school. They went out for about a week and he ended it. Rodrick claims she was too clingy. And a future rock star, like him, can't have a girlfriend who doesn't let him do what he wants to do.

" Unless you felt a sense of safety while being with me?"

" Don't get any ideas." I looked to where the bathroom was. I will just be in there for a minute. There is nothing to fear from using an airline bathroom. I got up from my seat and had to battled Rodrick's legs.

" You know, I can always go with you." I ignored him and walked to the bathroom. Someone was in it already. I glanced back at my seat and saw Rodrick wave at me. Why did this feel embarrassing? Luckily, after the person came out it didn't smell bad. As promised to myself, I spent no more than a minute in there. When I came out, Rodrick was standing outside. He smirked.

" Can you wait for me? I have a fear of walking to my seat alone."

" But you walked here."

" I walked here from my seat." After Rodrick went inside, I walked back to my seat. Rodrick came back to the seat after a few minutes. And as a 'punishment' for leaving him, Rodrick decided to rest his head on my lap and sleep. The funny thing was that he was so tall, his legs didn't fit on the seat, and so they were dangling in the aisle.

While Rodrick slept, I read a book, and all was peaceful on the plane. Rodrick woke up ten minutes later. This took me by surprise; I thought he would be asleep for the rest of the flight. Rodrick sat up in his seat and looked at me. I just wish that I could one day read a book in front of him without being interrupted.

" Why do you read?" he asked.

" Why do you play the drums?"

" Because it's awesome," he smiled, " But reading isn't awesome. It's boring."

" Maybe you're not reading the right books then."

" Whatever." Rodrick went back sleep on my lap, for good this time.


Sorry for the short chapter this time. Next one will have more interesting stuff, instead of Emma's bathroom problems and Rodrick's book problems. Thanks for the reviews! Any ideas on what Emma and Rodrick should do when they get to California?
