Chapter 3: Destination Reached

Hollywood Freeway

Sleeping comfortably on the couch with his arms and head resting on the table inside the motor home, Andre was having a dream. It was that kind of dream where it all feels so real until someone or something wakes up the person. Andre's dream was about the time he and jade had spent time alone trying to record a song of his for a class. It wasn't the first time he had such a reoccurring dream with her, in many dreams she was always with him. At an amusement park, at a park or even at school just eating lunch together.

He enjoyed the current dream he was having, just him and jade sitting under an oak tree. Holding hands and sleeping, his dream then took another shift. That peaceful dream quickly shifted to Andre falling down. Down, down into a giant ball pit that exploded like fireworks and which made the sounds of cows, chickens and goats when they did.

"Andre…Andre…come on get up. Andre, don't make me ask twice…ANDRE!"

Jade's loud voice snapped Andre out of his sleep, he rubbed his eyes and asked her something but in a way that she didn't know if he was sleep talking or drunk. She held his face still with one hand and smacked him with her other. That woke him up completely, but his mouth opened up like he wanted to scream.

"Don't yell Andre, you're a man aren't you? Come on it's your turn to drive."

"My turn? To do what." he said, still sounding tired.

"I just told you, it's your turn to drive the motor home. I'm gonna go take a shower and go to sleep for a bit. Wake me up when we get there. Just follow the directions the GPS is giving and we should be there by tomorrow. Think you can stay awake along enough."

"Yeah, just let me splash some water on my face. I need to shake some of the sleep off."

Andre went to the kitchen sink and turned the faucet on, he collected water in his palms and placed his face on them. The cool water felt good on his warm sweaty face. Jade went further back into the bedroom area to change out of her clothes and wrap a towel around her waist.

Andre walked over to the driver's seat and took his seat. He turned the key in the ignition, pulled on the column mounted shifter and pushed down on gas pedal. He turned the wheel so he could get the whole motor home back on the freeway. He followed the path the GPS gave him and drove at a steady pace. The radio had been turned off and Andre could hear the water from the bathroom running.

While Jade took a shower, Andre turned the radio on and tuned it to a good station. He found the hip hop section and left it there when Sean Paul's "Get Busy" song was playing. He tapped his hand on the steering wheel, playing a separate beat of his own. Then something happened, the radio channels began to change on their own. Andre tapped on the radio screen to see if that would fix it. It didn't, the radio kept trying to find it's own radio station.

After minutes of changing on it's own, it stopped to the same station that was playing that old song Jade seemed to love. Instead it played a different song, it was a called "We belong together" by Los Lobos. Andre tried changing it but to no avail. He didn't bother trying to change the station, he just drove the motor home all the way.

Stepping out of the bath tub and out of the bathroom, Jade glanced once over to the driver's seat and heard Andre humming the song playing. She moved some of her wet hair behind her ear and closed the bedroom area off with a sliding door.

30 June 2012 5:00- Morning

Angeles National Forest

Jade had slept the moment she dried herself off and changed into some other clothing she had brought for this trip, when morning came around she noticed that the motor home wasn't moving. It had stopped, she sat up to take a look out the window that was near by. She could see trees, and lots of them. She jumped out of her bed and moved the sliding door, she went into her bathroom to splash water in her face and brush her teeth. All the while as this was all happening, Jade failed to recognized Andre sleeping on the couch.

She only noticed him after she went to see if he was outside getting everything started, when she failed to see him outside, she walked back inside and spotted him resting on the couch. Watching him sleep reminded her of when Beck would fall asleep after a long day of hearing her complain and throw a fit. If it was night she would cover him with a blanket, but it was morning, very early actually. She took this time to take a shower and then change into clothing for going outside. She placed the coonskin hat on her head, slipped her hands and fingers into her fingerless gloves.

She took some beef jerky out from one of the cabinets inside the motor home, took a seat next to Andre and ate. Staring at him while chewing on the dried piece of meat, she got up and moved so she could place Andre's head on her lap. She stroked his face and played with his hair.

"It feels like rope, your hair feels like small little ropes Andre." even though Andre couldn't hear her, she still commented about his hair.

All of her talking got through to Andre in a dream where he and her were fishing, and what they were fishing for was pie. Jade reeled in a blueberry pie that she ate. Andre tried reeling in a cherry pie but it was a big and one and it resisted heavily. Jade decided to give him a hand and helped him reel it in, she wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled with all of her might. What came out of this sea that they were fishing in, came flying out a giant pie that blocked out the sun. it fell on both of them and covered them in cherry filling.

The feeling when the pie fell on them, was actually a dream reflection of Jade smacking his head and cheeks in the real world. She was playing a beat in her head and she used Andre's cheeks as drums. The rest of his dream was interrupted but he was finally awakened.

"What the hell Jade…why are you hitting me."

"Sorry B…Andre, just had a song in my head. So soldier, you ready to begin our first day of camping in the wild outdoors?"

"Easy for you to say, I had to do a lot of turns and backtracking to find a good spot here. The parking lot was full, and even if it was empty I don't think it would fit a large motor home like this one. I need a shower."

Andre lifted himself up and walked on over to where the shower was located, he opened the door and saw that Jade had used it. He walked over to the bedroom and grabbed his bag and opened it up. He took with him a towel and a change of clothes. While Andre took a quick shower and then bushed his teeth with his own toothbrush when he was done, Jade grabbed things from the storage space located outside the motor home. Jade got started and took with her a tent, tent fly, poles, steaks, and a ground cloth. She left the rest of the other materials behind, they were for Andre to take when he came out.

Camping Grounds

The digital battery operated clock resting beside Andre's Tent read 10:30, it took them two hours to find a good spot. One hour to set up camp and another two hours bringing the rest of their stuff from the motor home storages. The sun was beaming down and the ray broke through the holes in the leaves. The spot they chose was one wide open circular spot surrounded by trees, and with a dirt path that lead back to the motor home.

"Ok, we got the tents up, we got our bug spray, lanterns and…where is it. Where did it Go!?" Shouted Jade, Andre was lying down in his tent when Jade lifted the zipper up from his tent. She went and began looking inside his bags and suitcases Andre tried getting her to leave but she just kept moving him to the side.

"What can you possibly be looking for inside my tent? I don't think what you're looking for is inside here Jade."

"Yeah yeah, just be quiet and wait for me to be finished here."

Jade went rummaging through most of his things when she found packets of condoms hidden inside a sock, Andre grabbed the sock from her but Jade wanted it back. He fought to keep it in his hands, but Jade, who was fixed on the latex protection didn't notice that she had straddled Andre. Jade pinned Andre's face with her elbow and took the sock from him.

"I don't think I ever mentioned condoms as an essential to bring to this trip. Were you expecting for some girl to fall into your tent tonight?"

Andre kept quiet, his focus was on the sock dangling from her had. Jade stood up and left the tent, she turned the sock so the condom packets would fall on her hand. She tossed them up and down and then finally tossed them deep into the woods. Andre came out of his tent and found his sock on the ground, it was empty. She had thrown his condoms somewhere. Why would she do something like that.

"Here they are! I thought I lost my favorite pair of scissors. What's wrong Andre? you mad or something." she asked him like she didn't do anything wrong.
