…...(Bellamy's POV)…

We had been driving probably about five hours and O was saying that we should stop at the next truck stop. So after hearing it for the fifth time, I pulled over when I saw one.

We all got out. The girls headed to the bathroom - I could not understand it; they seem to always need to go to the bathroom, but whatever.

I walked into the Circle K to grab some snacks, like O's favorite Butterfingers and Clarke's Almond Joy; I will never understand why the Princess liked those anyway. I grabbed something to drink and head to the cashier.

I looked out at my truck and noticed that the girls were standing by it, talking. Clarke had a cigarette in her hand and every so often passed it O. I grunted at the sight, but I guessed she was grown up - and I smoke so…

I walked out with my purchases. When I got closer to them, I said, "Hey, O." She turned to look at me. "Catch," I said as I tossed the candy at her.

She caught it and looked at it. Then she said as she waved it in the air, "Yay, candy!"

I smiled. Clarke giggled as she put her cigarettes out, and then said, "So I guess back on the road we go, huh?"

I smiled and nodded as I said, "Yeah, but don't worry; in about eight to nine hours, we'll find a place to stop."

She smile and nodded in agreement.

We all climbed back in my truck. When we were all set, I said, "Hey, Princess, I got you something."

As I dug in the bag, she turned and looked at me with a huge smile and said, "What is it?"

I pulled out the Almond Joy. Her face lit up when she saw it. "Here you go. I will never understand why you like those." I said as I handed it to her.

She just smiled then said, "Thanks, Bell."

I smiled back and said, "You are welcome."

We just sat there, smiling at each other, until Octavia piped in, "Thank you, Bell; you're welcome, Clarke; ooooh ahhhh mooch mooch." She said, talking to her Butterfinger and kissing it.

I rolled my eyes as I pulled the car into drive and Clarke batted at her.

8 hours later …(Clarke's POV)…

It was getting dark, and from what the map and Bell said, we were in Illinois. Bellamy says we were making good time. We left Pennsylvania at four this morning and now it was four in the evening; that is good time. I looked at O. She was on her iPhone, playing some game. I looked over at Bellamy; he had his eyes straight ahead.

I thought for a second, then said, "It's getting dark. Are we planning to stop soon?"

Bellamy looked over at me for a second, then back on the road. With a smile, he said, "Yeah, we can stop at the next hotel we see, okay?"

I smiled and said, "Okay," in response.

About fifteen minutes later, we pulled into a little twenty-four-hour motel. Bellamy turned the car off and said, "So, girls, one or two rooms?"

I looked at Octavia. Then we both looked at him and I said, "One's good," and Octavia nodded in agreement.

Bell unbuckled his seatbelt, then got out and said, "Okay, one it is. I'll be right back".
