December 27th-
After the initial shock they Jack and Emilie were leaving on a road trip, everyone finally left the apartment to let them pack. Emilie wanted everyone to meet her at her place so if anyone protested the decision, she could kick them out. For the most part everyone was okay with it. Bobby was thinking it was his fault and that he pushed them to the limit but Jack made sure he knew that it was his idea and not Emilie's. Angel actually asked to go with them and frowned when Emilie told him no, it was a couple's things. Jerry was excited for them and kept telling them to take lots of pictures to bring back. Paisley only wanted to make sure that they would have phones or some way of communication so they could keep in touch and know that they aren't dead or kidnapped by some crazy witch lady in Salem. Everyone laughed at that one.
And after an hour of telling everyone that everything would be okay and that they would stay in touch, Jack and Emilie finally got to start packing.
"I was hoping to leave earlier than this." Jack grumbled while looking at the clock. Emilie laughed and zipped up her suitcase.
"We'll be on the road at 3pm, Jack. That's not that bad." she told him. He grabbed her bag and carried it into the living room.
"Well, that means we'll have to stop tonight and we won't get to Boston until tomorrow morning." Jack whined. Emilie laughed as she followed him down the hall and grabbed his hands once he set her things down. She wrapped his arms around her waist and looked up at him.
"We have two weeks to go to Boston and back, okay? So what if we have to get a room tonight, it's not going to kill us." she told him. He looked down at her and sighed.
"Are you a bad car rider?" he asked. "Because I will drop you tiny ass out on the side of the road if you pull an Angel and ask how long 'till we get there or ask to go use the bathroom every 50 miles or so." Emilie giggled and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.
"I'm a good rider." she winked and walked back to the bedroom to finish packing. Jack chuckled and watched her go. When he saw she had disappeared, he slipped his hand into his pocket to make sure he had the address with him. He wasn't going to force it on her but he was going to have it just in case.
"Jack, are you sure you got everything?" Emilie yelled from the bedroom. She was so nervous that they were going to forget something really important and have to buy it or do without. She looked up as Jack entered the room.
"Yes, we've got everything. We've packed stuff we won't even need. Now can we go it's almost 3pm." he rushed. Emilie sighed and looked around the apartment one last time before looking at Jack and smiling.
"Okay, let's go." she cheered. Jack smirked and grabbed the last bag and followed her out the front door. He loaded all their things into the back of her car and Jack took his place behind the wheel. As he pulled out onto the road Emilie checked the time.
"See? I told you we'd be on the road by 3pm." she smirked. He looked over at her and shook his head, laughing.
She didn't like this. But she also wasn't going to verbalize how much she didn't like this. It would give him opportunity to rub it in her face and laugh at her. She then would commence to whining the whole way to the destination and by the time they would get to Boston for a tiny vacation and break, they'd be pissed off at each other. So Emilie kept her mouth shut and Jack kept on driving.
"So I figured we'll be in Rochester around 9pm." Emilie sighed looking at the map on her laptop. "You wanna get a room there for tonight?" she asked, looking over at a very bored Jack.
"Yeah, that's like half way to Boston right?" he asked.
"Yeah. It almost 7 hours from Rochester to Boston, so we can get up early and make it there late afternoon." she smiled.
"That works but I don't want to get up too early." he said yawning. She laughed and shut her lap top.
"How can you be tired? It's only 7pm, Jack."
"I've been driving for four hours straight. My ass is numb and my legs are cramping." he told her.
"I told you I should drive." she reminded him.
"I know but it's usually the guy driving and I really wanted to drive. You've been my taxi since the accident and I really wanted you to relax." he smiled, grabbing her hand.
"But honey, if you're hurting, I'm not relaxing. I'm worrying." she told him. "So how about you let me drive the last two hours? I'll be fine until we get to Rochester and if I get tired before then, I'll stop." she suggested. Jack sighed and moved over to the side of the highway and parked the car.
"Fine but I'm relaxing in the tub either tonight or tomorrow and I'm driving you to Boston." he told her and unbuckled his seatbelt. Emilie smiled and scooted over the center console to the driver's seat as Jack walked around the car. He got in and looked over at her.
"If you get tired, stop." he warned her. She smiled and moved back onto the highway. Jack moved the seat all the way back and stretched his legs out as much as he could.
Emilie was quiet as she drove, she knew Jack was tired and didn't want to disturb him. Even as he spoke to her, she kept her answers short and soft. Soon, he dozed off and she turned the radio on low. She breathed in the fresh air as she drove and smiled. She was going home. Not for good or for long but she was going there. Sure, there was a lot of hurt there but she needed to see Abigail. She needed to see her parents and the place the place she once felt safe. She wanted Jack to see it too. He had only ever heard of her childhood as a bunch of death. And it was but there were also good things, she wanted him to see that.
"Jackie." Emilie whispered, running her fingers through his hair. He had slept the rest of the way to Rochester and she had already gotten them a hotel room. "Baby, wake up." Jack opened his eyes and looked around, as he stretched.
"What time is it, Em?" he asked and crawled out the car.
"A little after 9pm. I already got a room and the key." she smiled and grabbed the bag with their night clothes. She led him to the room and walked inside.
"You should have woken me up." he told her and sat down on the king sized bed. She laid the bag on the table and walked over to the bed. She laid down next to him and he looked down at her.
"I was fine." she smiled up at him. He moved a hand to rub across the exposed skin of her stomach and smiled.
"Well, now I'm wide awake." he told her casually. She giggled and reached up to grab the collar of his shirt. She pulled him down on top of her and kissed him. His tongue sought hers greedily but she resisted. He pulled back and stared at her, confused.
"What?" he asked. She laughed and propped herself up on her elbows.
"Just because you're wide awake does not mean I am. I've been driving. I wanna take a shower and go to bed." she smiled and moved from beside him. He gaped at her as she strode over to the bathroom and turned the shower on. She smiled when she felt his eyes on her as she undressed and stepped into the shower. She stepped under the water and sighed feeling her muscles relax. She waited for a few minutes to see if Jack would join her but when he didn't she started washing her hair.
Jack sat on the bed as she purposely teased him in the bathroom. He watched her tiny hips shake as she tugged her jeans off and watched her stomach stretch when she stripped her shirt off. He was entranced as she did this and was going to join her right then and there but decided against it. He knew she wanted him to go in there but he was going to make her wait. He sat on the bed staring into the bathroom and at the nearly see through glass shower door. He tilted his head as he watched her move around in the shower and eventually realized he was only hurting himself more. He undressed at the door of the bathroom and quietly opened the shower door when she was washing the shampoo out of her hair.
She had to give it to him, he was sneaky. If it hadn't have been for his sudden presence behind her, she wouldn't have known he was there. She didn't hear the door open or hear him in the bathroom at all. She smiled as she finished rinsing the shampoo out of her hair and when she went to turn to him, she couldn't. Jack wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her against him. His lips found her slick neck and nibbled lightly as she bit her lip smiling.
"Jackie." she whispered. "I thought I said I was tired." she giggled as he continued to nibble and nip at her neck. He was ignoring her, of course. His main concern at the moment was the ever growing heat that was building up in him and trying to satisfy it. He held her tighter as his other hand moved down her stomach and between her legs. He didn't give her any warning at all when he moved a finger inside of her. Her legs got weak and Jack moved against the wall to steady them and hold her up. She leaned her head back onto his shoulder as he began to work her over. She moaned and bit her lip as he moved his fingers and rubbed her mercilessly. Her knees buckled when she came but Jack's grip on her held her to him and she panted trying to catch her breath.
"Remind me not to tease you anymore." she breathed. Jack smirked and pushed them off the wall and turned her to face him. She went to grab the door but he slapped her arm away.
"Who said I was done?" he grinned and pulled her to him once again. Her hands ran up his chest and to his hair as he lifted up one of her legs and wrapped it around his waist. He moved so her back was against the wall and kissed her one more time before sliding his length inside of her. They let out simultaneous moans as he fit himself inside her. Her hands pulled his head down to rest on hers as he slowly moved inside her. He looked down at her as the tiny droplets of water ran down her face and her nose. She looked up at him and when their eyes met his lips crashed onto hers in a passionate kiss. She pulled him closer and pulled him in deeper when she adjusted her leg. He quickened his pace and moved his mouth over Emilie's when her moans became louder. He didn't want anyone complaining about them. A few moments later he felt her walls tighten around him and she bit down on his lip as she came. He groaned at her bit and couldn't stop from releasing himself of her. His lips moved from hers when he was done and he smirked.
"Tired now?" he asked, seeing her eyes close. She smiled and opened them to look at him.
"Actually, yes." she laughed and kissed him one last time before getting out the shower. They dried each other off and changed for bed. Jack smiled when Emilie threw a leg over his good one and pulled it to her. He kissed her forehead and she buried her face in his neck and closed her eyes.
December 28th-
She wasn't sure how she got into the car without waking up but she did. She woke up the soft sounds of Hinder coming out the speakers in her car. She scooted to the upright position in her seat and looked over at Jack.
"How?" was all she asked. Jack looked over at her and smirked.
"I woke up at 6am and waited for you to get up but you never did. At 8am I got bored and carried you to the car and packed up our stuff to leave." he smiled.
"You could have woken me up, ya know?" she told him and pressed the button on the radio to show the time, 11:24am.
"I tried." Jack grinned and pointed to a sign. "I ate at 6am but haven't had lunch yet, you hungry?" Emilie nodded and covered her mouth as she yawned. "Sleep good?"
"Do you even have to ask?" she asked, leaning over to kiss him real quick. Jack just grinned and waited for his exit. "Can we eat at a real restaurant, please? I'm tired of fast food grease and gas station junk food." she pleaded as Jack pulled off the interstate and onto the ramp.
"Yeah, we'll sit down and eat." he smiled. He drove about a mile down until he saw an actual restaurant and pulled into the parking lot. "This good?" he asked as Emilie looked around.
"Yeah, it's not McDonald's." she smiled and got out the car. They walked into the tiny diner and smiled at the hostess.
"Hello, welcome to McKay's. I'm Linzi and I'll be your waitress. Just the two of you?" she smiled. Jack nodded and Linzi grabbed the menus. They followed the middle aged woman down a few rows until they were seated at a booth. Jack sat on one side and Emilie took the other.
"What can I get you to drink?" the waitress asked.
"Coke, please." Jack told her.
"Water with lemon." Emilie smiled and the lady walked off. "This is nice." Emilie smiled as she looked around. Jack nodded and grabbed one of the menus.
"What do you want?" he asked as he looked it over. Emilie took the other one and sighed.
"Humm, I'll probably get the," she mumbled. "Chicken BLT." she smiled. Jack smirked and shook his head.
"That's what I was going to say." he told her. The waitress came back with their drinks and smiled.
"You read to order?" she asked. Jack nodded and laid the menus to the side.
"Two Chicken BLT's. One white bread and one on wheat. No mayo on the white bread please." he ordered. The lady scribbled the order down and smiled as she walked off.
"I'm surprised no ones called yet." Emilie said as she picked her drink up. Jack bit his lip and tried to hide his smile. Emilie saw this and stared at him. "They have haven't they?" she asked. Jack looked away and ignored her question.
"Jack." she hissed. He sighed and nodded.
"Angel, Bobby and Paisley all called this morning. Not at the same time but they did." he told her.
"Well, what did they say?" she asked. He smirked a little and reached his hands out to grab hers.
"Well, they said something about us not calling yesterday and to call them back, or else." he told her. Emilie stared at him and processed what he had just said.
"They said call them back? Why would they tell you to call them back, Jack?" she asked, hoping he wasn't about to tell her what she thought he was going to tell her.
"Well, see that's the thing." he started. "I didn't really talk to them." And she was right.
"You didn't answer?" she asked and he shook his head. "You let them leave a voice mail?" He nodded. "Why?" he shrugged and she sighed. "You're hopeless."
"But you love me." he grinned. She tried to glare at him but ended up smirking. "Seriously, I'm glad that they miss us and want to make sure we're okay, but I wanted this to be a me and you thing. I don't want them calling and bugging us 24/7 so I turned the phone down and checked them later. I also changed the voice message so they know that I am ignoring them." he smirked. Emilie laughed and nodded her head.
"They're going to kill you when we get back." she told him.
"Maybe so but at least I got to spend time with you and only you." he grinned and leaned over to meet her half way in a kiss. They parted when someone cleared their throat. Emilie blushed when she saw the waitress holding their plates.
"White bread?" she asked. Jack raised his hand and she set the plates down. They ate and chatted quietly. Jack paid the bill and left a tip as they left.
"That was good." Jack sighed and started the car.
"Yes, much better than a greasy burger or a frozen sandwich." Emilie smiled. "You sure you wanna finish driving?" she asked. He looked at the watch and his map.
"It's almost 1pm and we've got about three more hours to go. I can do that." he told her. She nodded and sat back in her seat. She pulled her sunglasses off the sun visor and placed them on her face. Jack smirked as she got comfy and he pulled back onto the road.
About an hour later and nothing else to talk about, Jack slipped in a CD. Emilie watched as he skipped through half the CD to find a song. Emilie laughed when the guitar broke through the speakers.
"What it's a good driving' song." Jack smiled over at her and started to sing along. Emilie shook her head and closed her eyes as he sang along to Pearl Jam.
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again.

Jack pulled into the parking lot of the hotel and looked over at Emilie. He decided to wait to wake her up and went to get a room. He got the key and frowned when he got one on the second floor. He got back in the car and grabbed his medicine bottle and water. He took a pain pill in case his leg acted up and looked back over at his sleeping girlfriend.
"Babe, wake up." he whispered and fingered her hair. "We're in Boston." Emilie opened her eyes and leaned up in the seat.
"How long have I been asleep?" she asked.
"Only an hour." he smirked and got out of the car. She smiled when she stepped into the parking lot. "Happy?" he asked.
"Yes, very much so." she grinned and ran over to him. She jumped on him and he laughed. He picked her up and carried her over to the stairs.
"We got a second story room?" she asked. He nodded and started to make his way up the stairs. "Jackie, I don't want you to hurt your leg." she complained.
"I took a pill, I'll be fine." he told her and finished carrying her to the door and slide the card in the door. She smiled as he kicked the door closed and took her over to the bed. He laid her down and took his spot on top of her. She giggled and put her hands on his chest.
"You're kidding, right?" she asked. He smirked and shook his head.
"It's not a road trip unless we christen every room we stay in." he told her slyly and started unbuttoning her shirt.
"And if we flew?" she asked.
"Well, then we'd be in the Mile High Club." he grinned and pulled her shirt off her shoulders. She smiled and pulled him down for a kiss.
