Chapter 54 - Motel 6

It was noon and the guys were at a local burger shop getting some food... Cyril however eating a chicken salad per Carlisle's demand. He was not about to let his father eat a greasy burger and fries after having a heart attack.

"So boys, without traffic it's about 23 hours driving straight to phoenix. So adding a few hours for traffic, and for stopping to eat, I say its gonna take us about 30 hours give or take. We can all drive, so we'll take shifts, that way we can be there around 5pm Sunday. It's gonna be rough but, we can do it. I'm thinking we might be gone longer than Monday though. It may take us longer to get there, depending on stops and stuff. Honestly I think we should have driven. We can... I mean... I'll make some calls and book us a flight." Carlisle ate a fry.

"The Durango is rented right?" Jasper asked.

Carlisle nodded yes.

"So you don't have to really take it back to where you rented it right? Just back to one of their offices? Do they got an office in Phoenix? We can drive there, and then leave the Durango and fly back. I mean... if you want." Jasper shrugged his shoulders.

"I was an idiot to think we could do this in a weekend. I just didn't want Edward missing more school." Carlisle sighed.

"I'm good. You know I don't need school. Besides, I can make anything up. I'm ahead anyways." Edward said taking a bite of his burger. Or we can forget it and be home in a couple of hours. He thought to himself.

"I'll give the car rental place a call and find out if they got a station in Phoenix." Carlisle said standing up and heading outside for some privacy and quiet to make his call.

"You three behave. I'm going to the restroom." Cyril said walking off.

"Hey Edward." Emmett nudged him. "You feeling better?"

"Yeah. I'm good. My head don't hurt anymore, but I'm still tired."

"I can't believe you didn't share. That was fucked up man." Emmett sighed.

"Your big ass was asleep anyways." Edward laid his head down onto of his arms that were resting on the table. He couldn't wait to get back on the road and get some sleep.

It took them about 4 hours and a half to get out of Washington and into Oregon. With 2 bathroom breaks about 5 -10 minutes long. Carlisle driving the entire time. It was reaching near 5pm and everyone was starting to get antsy.

"Dad, can we stop somewhere already? I need to get out of this thing!" Emmett moaned. Sitting for such a long time was a hard feat for Emmett to accomplish, especially with him being as big as he was.

"We've just hit Oregon, we still have to go through Idaho, and Utah before we hit Arizona. We don't have any time to waste." Carlisle said looking through the rear view mirror. "We'll stop in Idaho. We got another 2 or so hours and we'll hit the border. There's an A&W just past where the I-84 meets the 30 and 95. We'll stop and have dinner there, and find somewhere to stay the night. We should keep driving, but I've come to the conclusion you are all hopeless."

"I am very capable of driving Carlisle." Cyril eyed him.

"It's going to be dark soon dad. Why push it?" Carlisle didn't want to tell him that he was afraid to let him drive. With his condition, Carlisle didn't think driving through the night was a good idea. If it was daylight out, he'd let the boys take a turn, but he rather not drive at night and risk anything.

"I can drive. I'm ok, just woke up about 20 minutes ago." Edward spoke.

"No, I think it's best if we stop. Don't worry about." Carlisle replied.

"Um, Mr. C..." Jasper had been looking out the back window.

"Yeah?"

"I think you're going too fast."

"I'm going a little over but its the highway, its expected."

"Tell that to the highway patrol who seems to be speeding up to get to you."

"What?" Carlisle looked this time through his rear view mirror and his drivers side mirror. "Shit." He immediately slowed down. He had not heard the sirens, albeit it they were still a bit behind them. "Maybe they're speeding to get to somewhere."

Unfortunately that was not the case. Carlisle was given a ticket for going 15 over the speed limit. He was also told to slow down, and that he was lucky they were not going to arrest him for speeding. After the officer let them go on their way, Carlisle turned to look at the boys.

"Not one word." And with that, they hit the road again, heading towards Oregon.

"Mom!" Alice shouted rushing into the livingroom where Esme and Lila were sitting.

"What is it?" Esme asked.

"Dad got a ticket! Look!" Alice said handing over her phone. Emmett had snapped a photo of the highway patrolman giving Carlisle a ticket.

Suddenly all the other phones in the house started beeping.

"I got the same picture!" Rose exclaimed.

"Me too!" Bella laughed.

"Poor Carlisle, he looks tired." Lila said looking at her phone.

"Mine's in the kitchen, I suspect I got it too." Esme smiled. "I told him to go the speed limit. He always goes over just a bit on the highway."

"I'm gonna text Edward and see how they are doing." Bella said heading up to Edward's room.

Hey, Em sent us a pic of Carlisle and the cop. -Bella

Yeah. Carlisle was annoyed. -Edward

I miss you. -Bella

Miss you too. -Edward

Have you guys ate dinner yet? -Bella

No, Carlisle's not gonna stop til we hit Oregon. Unless he caves into Emmett's obnoxious complaining. -Edward

Are you guys going to drive all night? Or get rooms?" -Bella

We're gonna get rooms. Carlisle don't trust anyone to drive at night. -Edward

You gonna have your own room? -Bella asked.

Why? -Edward

Thought maybe we could try some... stuff. -Bella

What kind of stuff? -Edward

You know... stuff. Over the phone. -Bella

Phone sex?! - Edward

Maybe. :) -Bella

Ugh. -Edward

What? -Bella

I'm stuck in a car with Carlisle, Cyril, Em and Jasper. You talking about that... it's gonna make things uncomfortable. -Edward

Oops. -Bella

You serious? -Edward

Very. -Bella

Fuck. -Edward

I'm laying on your bed. -Bella

FUCK. -Edward

Smells like you. -Bella

STOP. Please... -Edward

Hehehe -Bella.

Wait til I get back Bella! -Edward

*shudder* -Bella

You will be... -Edward.

Call me when you get to wherever you stay. Don't care what time. -Bella

Definitely. -Edward

Love you. Bye. -Bella

Love you too. Bye. -Edward

"You want to stay HERE?" Emmett looked mortified. "It's... it's..." It was nearing 9pm, and they stood outside a Motel 6.

"A perfectly suitable place to stay for the night Emmett. Stop being a snob son." Carlisle said grabbing his bags. "They only have rooms right now with twin beds. One with a full..."

"MINE!" Edward shouted. Everyone looked at him. "I get the solo room!" Edward stated.

"No way! I'm bigger! I get the full bed!" Emmett declared.

"I don't give a shit." Edward glared at him.

"I don't think..." Carlisle began.

"NO! What room is it?" Edward glared.

"5... but..."

Edward grabbed the key that had the #5 on it from Carlisle's hand and quickly made his way over.

"Dad!" Emmett whined.

"Leave him be." Cyril spoke up as Edward went in and slammed the door shut. "He just needs time alone."

"After last night, I don't know if..." Carlisle sighed. "If he should be alone."

"Let the boy be." Cyril still referred to Edward as 'the boy' sometimes, but not in the hostile way he once did.

"Dad!" Emmett was still annoyed.

"Let it go. Stop being such a cry baby, shit." Jasper muttered.

"Fuck you." Emmett shoved Jasper.

"Both of you stop! Or I swear, Emmett you'll sleep with my father, and Jasper you're gonna be with me." Carlisle said firmly.

Both of them looked at each other, and then put their hands up in defeat. They took their key, and their bags and headed to their room, #7. Emmett grumbling under his breath all the way.

Edward felt bad at how he snapped but, he needed to be alone. For more than one reason. Sure, he had been dying to call Bella all day and do whatever she wanted. However, he also did not want to share a room with someone in case... in case he dreamt about his mother again. Soon they'd be in Phoenix and he didn't know what he'd do. He just knew he didn't want anyone around him tonight. So after washing up and changing into some more comfortable clothes to sleep in; boxers... he laid back into bed and dialed Bella...
