Heads Up: Long A/N coming at you right now.
I AGAIN apologize for the delay here. I really wanted to get my other story finished and everything. Now this is the only story I am working on so it should be easier to update.
Saying that, I have finals next week so I won't be updating until at least next weekend. But then I am done with the semester so i'll have more time despite working. :D
As for this chapter, I didn't really have a plan for it and I was writing at 2am this morning so I apologize if it seems a little weird. I also don't have as much humor in this one. And it ends sort of weird so sorry about that.
I still hope everyone likes it. :)
ALSO- thank you EVERYONE for all of the reviews and hits! You are all awesome!

David POV.
"You're staring at him again Blaine." I looked up from the game I was playing on my iTouch to see Jeff looking at Blaine, who was twisted around in the passenger seat to look at Kurt who was asleep on the other side of Jeff.
"Honestly Blaine, you turn around and stare like every 5 minutes. You are supposed to be helping Wes keep an eye on the road." Thad piped up from the back seats where he was with Nick and Chad.
"It is still light and we are on some random road between Denver and Austin that we have been on for the past 2 hours. Wes is fine right now." Blaine said snappily but he had blushed upon Jeff catching him for the fourth time.
"We get that he is your boyfriend and you two are sickingly in love and everything, but you really don't need to look around every 5 minutes." Nick remarked.
"Maybe you lot should stop paying attention to everything I am doing." Blaine remarked.
"Hard not to when you keep yanking at the seatbelt and getting mad at it." Jeff commented.
"What is your hearing Jeff? Do you seriously have super sonic hearing? How the hell did you hear that?" Wes asked from the driver's seat. "Even I didn't hear that."
"I'm amazing. It really is about time you all admit it." Jeff said simply. "One of the things Juliet liked about me."
"Oh my god. Shut up right now about that random girl." Chad groaned.
"Juliet and I had something. All of you are too jealous that you never get anything…except Blaine of course, and going back to Blaine…someone is staring at Kurt again." Jeff remarked.
"Burt told me to keep an eye on Kurt. That was the only reason he let Kurt continue on the trip after getting so sick. I am just staying true to my word." Blaine said, tearing his eyes away from the sleeping form of Kurt.
"I get that Blaine, but we are currently in a car and he is currently asleep. I don't think he can get into that much trouble in this enclosed space, even sitting next to Jeff who is probably going to wake him up with all of the loud talking and fidgeting." I remarked.
"He's been asleep for like EVER though!" Jeff responded.
"Because he has been sick. He needs sleep to heal more. I'm really surprised that the hospital actually let him leave this afternoon." Nick said.
"It's because of Jeff's never ending annoying habits." Chad said.
"Not true. And you don't see Blaine sleeping as much and Blaine was sick." Jeff remarked.
"I'm helping Wes keep an eye on the road." Blaine said.
"I thought you just said he could do it by himself." I said grinning.
"Shut up David. No one wants your opinion right now." Blaine snapped.
"Ooh Blainey boy is a little touchy." Jeff teased.
Blaine gave Jeff a long, piercing glare before turning back around in his seat until he was facing front again. Jeff grinned and then went back to the game he was playing on his phone. I looked back down at my iPod and restarted the game that I had lost during the conversation. The car was quiet for a few minutes before Jeff's voice pierced it.
"You're staring again Blaine."
"WHERE IS IT?" Jeff shrieked.
I jumped as Jeff's voice broke into my sleep. My head smacked the backboard of the bed and I sat up, rubbing it. I looked at the clock in the hotel room and groaned when I saw that it read 7 a.m.
"Jeff! What is your problem? It is 7 in the morning, we have had one hour of sleep after driving 15 hours and you are shrieking?" Wes was up and standing next to the bed, looking furious.
"My camera is missing!" Jeff cried.
"And you discovered this at 7 in the morning?" The tired voice of Blaine came out from under a mess of blankets on the floor next to the other bed in the room. Blaine had had a fit of gallantry at the hotel and insisted Kurt have the other bed all to himself.
"Yes!" Jeff replied.
"Maybe you misplaced it?" Chad suggested. He had fallen asleep in one of the chairs and looked to be the most awake of us, although he was rubbing his face with his hand.
"I didn't JUST misplace it! I never take my hands off it." Jeff shrieked again.
"STOP SHRIEKING! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Wes nearly yelled back.
"If you don't ever take your hands off it, how did you lose it?" Kurt was awake now and sitting up in the bed. His face was still pale and he looked tired, but he hadn't lost his sarcasm, even when he was tired.
"You are so funny. If you weren't getting over being sick…I'd…" Jeff broke off when he saw Blaine emerge from the blankets and glare at him.
"Don't you dare threaten him Jeff." Blaine said, half-rising out of the mess of blankets.
"Calm down Blaine." Kurt said looking alarmed. He crawled to the edge of the bed and sat down next to Blaine, putting his hand on Blaine's chest.
"What's going on? Why are you all awake?" Nick was awake now and sitting up from his spot on the floor.
"Jeff lost his camera and just discovered it right now." I informed him. I let out a groan and threw myself forwards onto the bed, landing on my face and not moving.
"I didn't lose it!" Jeff answered.
"Where is it then?" Nick asked. "And why are we all awake?"
"Jeff's shrieking woke all of us up!" Blaine groaned. Kurt had his arms around Blaine at this point and his head was on Blaine's shoulder as they both glared at Jeff.
"I didn't lose it. I had it before I fell asleep in the car and it's gone now." Jeff cried. "One of you took it from me."
I grinned as I kept my face covered on the bed. Jeff had fallen asleep around 2am when Blaine was driving and I was in the passenger seat. Everyone except him had been awake at that point and in a carefully planned plan, we had managed to get the camera away from Jeff. It was now hidden in the very bottom of Nick's bag.
"David? Why haven't you said anything?" Jeff suddenly asked. "Do you know where it is?"
I waited a few seconds before I was sure the grin was gone from my face and then lifted my head from the bed. I jumped back a little when I saw how close Jeff was to me and how mad he looked.
"I'm tired Jeff. I want to go back to sleep, and I don't really have the energy to say much. I just drove for 5 hours and stayed up for another 6. No, I don't know where the stupid camera is." I replied, trying to stop the grin from appearing back on my face as I talked to Jeff. It was a tense few moments as Jeff glared at me, searching my face. Eventually, he turned back around and I threw my head back into the comforter.
Jeff groaned and I heard a loud thump a few moments later. I didn't even attempt to lift my head back off the bed.
"Jeff, get up off the floor now." I heard Wes say and I figured the thump had been Jeff throwing himself at the floor.
"No, I'm just going to stay here. My life is over without my camera. I'm not moving until my camera is given back to me." Jeff moaned.
"And I thought I was a drama queen." I heard Kurt remark.
"That sounds like a good plan Jeff except for the fact that you'll get kicked out of the hotel after we leave and then you'll be stuck in Austin without us." Wes remarked.
"Maybe I'll find some more girls." Jeff retorted.
"And they'll be just as successful as the last ones." Nick responded.
"They would have worked if it weren't for you lot! Always ruining my fun." There was another thump and I assumed Jeff had thrown himself back onto the floor.
"Get up or shut up and go back to sleep." Kurt said and I could tell he was annoyed.
"Why would you take my camera anyways? You knew I'd react like this. And stop trying to deny it, I know you took it." Jeff asked.
"We didn't think you'd realize at 7 in the morning. Maybe later in the day." Chad said as we all knew without speaking that we should give up the pretense of not knowing where the camera was.
"GIVE IT BACK TO ME!" I heard Jeff shriek and then Chad's yell and I raised my head. Jeff had launched himself across the room and onto Chad, knocking Chad off the chair and onto the ground next to Nick.
"JEFF!" Wes literally roared and Jeff turned to look at him, looking alarmed. I smiled as I once again put my head down on the bed. It was becoming too much of a chore to keep it up any longer.
"Listen to me. We have now probably woken up half the floor by now. It is 7am, like I said before; Blaine, David and I have just driven a 15 hour drive and need sleep. Speaking of which, they are both practically asleep right now."
I couldn't even be bothered to correct Wes and tell him that I was still awake.
"And you are keeping them, me, Chad, Nick and Kurt awake. And we have all seen Blaine and Kurt for that matter when they have not had enough sleep. So, shut up about the stupid camera and go back to sleep. If it really bothers you that much, we'll sort it out in the morning." Wes snapped.
I raised my head and looked around the room. Jeff, Nick, Chad and Kurt were all looking at Wes who was now standing at the edge of the bed closer to Jeff. Blaine was still in Kurt's arms but his eyes were closed and he looked like he was asleep.
"I'm with Wes." I said and they all looked over at me. "I want sleep right now."
"How did Thad manage to sleep through all of that?" Kurt asked as he removed his arms from around Blaine.
"I hate you all." Jeff grumbled as he picked himself off of the floor to go to where the chair he had been in was set.
"A Segway tour? Are we really sure this is a good idea?" I asked Wes. We had stayed in the hotel for a few more hours after Jeff's meltdown and then gone to look around Austin. We had come across a Segway tour and Wes immediately wanted to go, earning the agreement of Nick, Chad and Thad. Jeff was still sulking about his camera and Blaine, Kurt and I were hesitant.
"It's an awesome idea. We'll be awesome at it!" Nick claimed.
"I don't want to do it." Jeff said grumpily.
"Oh shush and get over your missing camera. You'll get it back whenever we think you should get it back and not before." Thad said.
"This is kind of expensive Wes. Did you look at that?" Kurt asked. His eyes were focused on the sign by the cluster of Segway's. Both Blaine and I turned around to look and I saw the prices.
"Don't worry. I've got this one Kurt." Blaine said to Kurt smiling.
"So, are you boys ready to go?" The guide came walking over to us. I looked at Blaine and Kurt who still looked slightly hesitant. I then looked around at Wes who was staring at all of us, looking hopeful and excited. He had such a Blaine puppy look on his face that I gave up.
"Fine. Fine, lets do it." I said. Wes let out an excited yell and pumped his fist into the air. The tour guide looked at him with a confused look on his face.
"Ignore him. He gets excited easily." Chad remarked.
"Okay, well we are going to have all 8 of you in one group rather than split you up. Each of you go get a Segway and I'll teach you how to use them. They are much simpler than people think they are." The tour guide motioned to where the group of Segways was located. Wes, Chad, Thad and Nick all rushed over to claim theirs while the rest of us followed more slowly.
"Come on Jeff, perk up. This is going to be fun." Nick nudged a still crabby looking Jeff. "You can be as crazy as you want."
"Within reason." Blaine said, looking at the tour guide who had his eyebrows raised.
I watched as Jeff did indeed perk up once he got onto one of the Segways and started learning how to use it. After a few moments, everyone was up on Segways and along with 4 other people, we started the guided tour around Austin.
"THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!" Jeff had been at the back of the group with Nick and Thad and he sped up to pass everyone and ended up at the front with Chad. "BEST DAY EVER!"
"How about we don't quote Tangled Jeff?" Blaine asked. He was just in front of me with Kurt.
"Wheeennnn willll myyyy liiiiffeeee beggginnnn?" Jeff called back smirking.
"Glad to see someone isn't so angry about his camera anymore." Wes said from beside me.
"I still can't belive he noticed at 7am that it was missing." I grinned.
"It's Jeff. We can't really know what to expect from him anymore, no matter how much we try to." Wes replied.
"oof." I looked back to the front to see Jeff on the ground, his Segway remaining where he previously was, with Chad's hand on it.
"What did you manage to do Jeff?" Kurt called up.
"Fell off." Jeff replied standing up.
"Smooth."
