Authors Note: I thank everybody who's been reading and adding comments
about where they think that the chapters should go. I don't want to
disappoint anybody, and the main concern I've been getting is about, Lucas
and Brooke and Nathan and Haley. All I can say to all the different
comments is one of these two couples will be together at the end of all
this. I'm not telling which, but I don't think that you will be too
disappointed with the outcome.
Description: They're all packed and ready to go. What could possibly happen on the drive to Florida????
At 8:00 last night Haley, Nathan, Peyton, Brooke, and Lucas packed their stuff into the freshly rented Navigator. They drove until they reached Atlanta Georgia where they rented a hotel room for the night. It was early morning in the little hotel room that Nathan and Haley where sharing. It was about 7:00 in the morning when they received their wake up call. Haley rolled over and snuggled up against Nathan. She craned her neck to plant a soft kiss on his lips. She was moments from contact when he moved out of her range.
"Sorry sweetie, but your breath kind of stinks. You can kiss me after you brush your teeth."
Haley was noticing a lot of changes in Nathan since they left the college last night. "Sorry, I'll keep that in mind. Anyway I think I'm going to go see if everybody else is up and ready."
"Great idea. Oh could you also run and get me a quick breakfast?"
"Sure!" She filled her voice with regret. She couldn't understand what exactly is problem was. 'I hope that he's just stressed out about college and that once we get on the beach everything will be ok.' She hoped up out of the bed and quickly changed in the bedroom as well as making sure that her breathe smelled perfect. She ran down the corridor to the single bed hotel room. She banged softly on the door.
A sleepy and Peyton answered the door. "What is it?"
"I was just seeing if you where ready to leave. The sooner we leave here the sooner we can get to Florida."
"I will be soon enough!"
"Ok well I was thinking we should try to be on the road by 9:30 or 10:00."
"Oh ok, um are you heading down to the lobby?"
"Yeah Nathan wanted some food so I thought I would go get him some."
"Great, will you pick me up something too?"
"Yeah I guess so."
Haley then skipped to the next room a little disappointed with the conversation she had with Peyton. It didn't last long though. She gently knocked on the door of Brooke and Lucas' hotel room.
A very cheerful and happy Brooke arrived at the door. "Good morning Haley!"
"I'm so happy to see somebody that's glad to see me."
"Come in, Lucas is in the shower, if you want we could go flush the toilet 30 times." She said it with her evil little giggle, which made Haley bust out laughing.
"As funny as that sounds, I think I'll pass. I have to go to the Lobby and get Nathan and Peyton some breakfast."
"Well I'll go with you!" "Lucas sweetie, I'm running down to the lobby with Haley to get breakfast, do you want anything?"
"Yeah a doughnut or something."
"Ok be back shortly." As she said it she told Haley to be quiet as she sneaked into the bathroom and flushed the toilet. The yelp from the shower made both girls giggle in unison. All they heard was a muffled "I'll get you two for that" as they shut the door behind them.

Ryan awoke to a laughing Summer and Seth. They were sitting very close to one another and Seth was tickling her sides. With hazy and unfocused eyes he sat up in his bed and looked around. Marissa joyfully walked over and sat down next to him.
"Hey sleepy head we've all been waiting for you to get up. Well that and Luke, he's on his way. He said that he's approximately 30 minutes away."
"Great that gives me just enough time to get up and shower. If you all will excuse me!" As he was heading off to the shower he heard Marissa sigh and say, "Why do I even bother?" He couldn't help it; he just wasn't interested in her anymore. He wanted to tell her that, but he didn't want to lose her as a friend.
~*~*~*
Ryan was stepping out of the steam filled bathroom to see that the only person left standing in his room was Luke.
"Hey Luke how's it going." He said this as he ran his hands through his freshly wet hair.
"I'm good. So are you and Marissa planning on hooking up at all during spring break?"
"No."
"Great, I met two of these beautiful women on campus and they said that I should get a friend and look for them down there. You in???"
"I dunno man, maybe we should focus on getting down there first."
They both went to meet the rest of the gang who had everything load in the Blazer. All that was left was the seating arrangements. As look approached the vehicle he looked at everybody, and in a very childish voice he screamed, "SHOT GUN!"
"Well that does it. Summer and Marissa are in the back with me and Luke and Ryan are driving."
"Well then lets get going. Key's please?"
Seth handed Ryan the keys as he positioned himself in the middle of the two very beautiful bronze babes.

Nathan had just finished eating the Danish that Haley brought back up for him, as Haley was carrying her suitcase and other belongings to the door. When Lucas knocked and asked if he could help with anything.
"Hey Lucas, are you guys all packed and stored away?"
"Yeah Brooke's downstairs in the car waiting for us."
"Great, and its only 9:00. We're on perfect time."
"Well have you seen Peyton? She's not in her room and everything's a mess."
"She might be down in the lobby getting more food. She wasn't exactly pleased with what I brought up for her to eat."
"Well how about this, I'll take you're bags if you could run and see where she is."
"Sounds good to me."
Haley went to the elevator where she heard Peyton talking to someone.
"Yeah, I know. I wont. It's ok don't worry about it. Our secret is safe!"
Haley realized that she must have been talking to the man that she's been seeing. None of them have met them yet; maybe he was going to meet them down there. As soon as she finished her thought out came Peyton.
"Hey, I was just going to look for you."
"Why? I'm fine I was talking to Jake. He decided that he was going to meet us down there."
"That's great. Is he bringing Jenny?"
"No, Karen and Keith are going to watch him for a couple of days, then Jake's parents are going to come and get her."
"Well that's great news. Are you ready to leave? The cars all packed."
"Yeah wanna give me a hand."
"Sure."

Both groups are out on the road from the same destination.

Ryan was just adjusting the air conditioner when a black Navigator cuts them off, almost causing a very serious accident. Ryan slammed on the break and blew the horn. The Navigator just sped off leaving them in the dust.
"Is everybody ok?"
"Yeah. Ryan we should follow them and beat their asses."
"Luke get real. Ryan just drive, we're all fine." Seth was happy that he could report that they were all fine. Except Summer, she had a smear of lipstick that went way past her eye. She looked like a little girl who got a hold of her mothers make up. "Here sweetie, let me help." He grabbed a napkin and began to gently wash the make up from her face.
~*~*~*
"Nathan are you crazy. You can't cut somebody off like that. You're going to get somebody killed. What were you thinking?"
"Haley please be quiet. You're really getting on my last nerve."
"Nathan, Haley's right. What if they follow us, or that had rear- ended us."
"Wow Brooke, you're a great backseat driver. Does anybody have anything else to say? Cause if so I can stop right here and let somebody else drive."
"Nathan, where not picking on you, just be more careful."

Do they make it to Florida in one piece?
