Chapter Two
Dimitri's POV
"Everyone ready?" I asked, closing the trunk of the SUV.
The other three mumbled an affirmative, yawning and rubbing at their eyes. I chuckled quietly to myself; not one of them were morning people. But we had to leave early if we were going to beat the girls there.
I sat in the driver's seat, with Christian beside me and Eddie and Adrian in the back. Christian tiredly entered our destination into our GPS while I started the car and headed toward the gates. We were all cleared to leave, and then the GPS told us to drive thirty metres and turn left.
"I swear, if we don't beat them, I'm killing myself," Adrian muttered from the back. "Like, who the hell gets up at this ungodly hour?"
"Normal people, Adrian," Eddie replied, stretching in his seat. He may not have been a morning person, but he was used to getting up early for guardian duties.
"Well, I'd rather be abnormal, then," he grumbled.
I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat. "So, according to the GPS, we should arrive in Kissimmee around this time tomorrow if we drive all night," I told them.
"Well, we can switch off at some point, if you want to," Eddie offered.
I thought about it for a moment before saying, "If I get tired, I'll let you know."
He nodded and returned to staring out the window.
Christian plugged his iPod into the iPod jack so that he could play his music while we drove. A song came on that I vaguely recognized from hearing Rose listening to it. Christian quietly sang along, not missing a word.
We stopped for lunch a few hours later because Adrian and Christian were complaining about being hungry. I could've gona all day without eating, and I knew that Eddie could've as well, but we stopped anyway. I figured that we could afford it, since we'd left so early.
We'd stopped at a little diner on the highway. It looked okay enough, but who knows?
We sat at a table in the far corner and waited until a middle-aged plump waitress sauntered over, notepad in hand, to take our order.
She smacked her gum. "What'll it be, kids?" she asked, sounding completely, utterly bored.
Adrian peered at the menu. "I'll have chicken nuggets and fries," he told her.
"Chicken nuggets and fries," she murmured under her breath as she scribbled it down. "And to drink?"
"Coke, please," he replied.
She nodded and said, "Next."
"I'll have a baked potato with cheese and bacon bits, along with a bacon cheeseburger, no veggies, please," Christian said. "Oh, and I'll have Coke as well."
The woman―Betsy, according to her name tag―nodded and wrote it all down before turning to Eddie.
"And you, young man?" she questioned.
Eddie smiled politely at her. "I'll have a chicken burger with mayo and lettuce only, please."
"Fries?"
He thought about it for a moment before replying. "Yes, please. And I'll have an iced tea with that."
"Gotcha." She wrote it down quickly and finally turned to me. "And you?"
"I'll have steak and potatoes, please. With water to drink."
She nodded and said, "Coming right up!" before walking away.
"Really, Adrian? Chicken nuggets? That's like, toddler food. You should've gotten strips, at least," Christian teased with a snicker.
"Don't make fun of him. Yours is a heart attack waiting to happen," I pointed out, grinning.
"Well, yours is boring. I mean, steak and potatoes and water? Seriously. It seems so . . . girly."
"He's more manly than you, Chris," Eddie said. "While you're at home, cooking meals for Lissa like the little housewife you are, he's lifting weights in the gym."
"Shut up, Ed," Christian grumbled, sulking. Adrian, Eddie and I all grinned and high-fived.
Betsy brought our food out moments later, and it actually looked pretty good. The steak was nice and juicy.
When we were almost done, something caught my eye from across the diner. It was a map. I'd already finished my food, so I got up to look at it.
My mouth fell oping with a pop.
Our location was marked, and it was in the complete opposite direction of Florida.
We were almost in Rhode Island.
How I hadn't noticed the signs, I didn't know. What I did know was that Rose was behind this.
I pulled out my phone and sent her a text.
I'm going to strangle you.
Her reply came moments later, and I could almost hear her laughter.
So you finally figured it out, huh?
I punched in a reply.
Yeah, I did. Real funny. But I'll get you back, starting with the fact that I'm going to beat you to Kissimmee.
Her next reply came a moment later.
Ha! Imagine. Have fun trying, Comrade.
I sent her one last text.
I will. And I don't try, I do. Keep that in mind.
I pocketed my phone again and walked back over to the table.
"Guys, we have a problem," I began.
They all looked up and, mouth full, Christian asked, "What?"
I sighed. "Rose sabotaged our GPS. We've been going in the wrong direction this whole time. According to that map, we're in New York."
There was a beat of silence before Adrian swore and wiped his face. He threw a couple bills on the table, and we ran out of the diner and got in the SUV.
Haha, Rose is one sneaky bitch xD
