So today I had to wake up super early and go on a nine hour road trip in order to get to where I am now going to be living. Nine hours. In a cramped SUV. Three states. Nine hours. NINE HOURS. But enough about that incredibly long trip (which isn't even that bad, but still haha) While on that trip and car sick, this story just popped into my head and so here is another chapter for The Horsemen's Stories. I hope you enjoy. :)

Road Trip

If there was one thing the Horsemen hated more than anything, it was road trips. Daniel almost constantly checked the map to make sure they were going the right way, Henley had really bad road rage, Jack got carsick, and Merritt…well, Merritt might as well have been a child. After six months performing together they had learned the ins and outs of making a long road trip bearable, but that didn't stop them from driving only when they absolutely had to.

"Where are we going again?" Merritt asked, shuffling in his seat as he tried to stretch his legs.

"Alabama." Daniel grunted, looking between the map and the GPS on his phone to make sure they were going the right way.

"How much longer?" Jack asked, tearing his eyes from the window and blinking away the headache that had begun to form.

"Nine hours." Daniel answered.

A collective groan went up at that; they had already been on the road for four hours. The SUV jerked the left all of a sudden, throwing the three men to the side as well.

"You could go faster you know!" Henley barked, glaring over at the car that she was currently zooming past.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive, Henley?" Daniel asked hesitantly.

"No!" Henley barked. She pulled back over into the right lane before honking the horn at the car that pulled in front of her. "Oh, come on, jerk!"

She swerved back to the left lane and roared past the car, much to Jack's regret. He was already sick to his stomach, his head hurt, and he felt like he was going to puke at any moment. Grabbing the bucket they kept in the vehicle specifically for times like this, he held it close and leaned forward, resting his head against the seat in front of him.

Daniel's mouth was a thin line as he barely kept his opinions to himself. He hated when Henley drove, but he had quickly learned that her road rage could just as quickly turn against him if he said anything about it. So he kept his mouth shut and turned back to the studying both maps. When he was positive they were going in the right direction, he put the map to the side and began searching for gas stations and restaurants in the upcoming towns.

Merritt, meanwhile, sat in the back bored out of his mind. The car was crammed full of all their stuff and there was very little room. Normally he would play cards with Daniel or Jack, but as they were both currently occupied he had absolutely nothing to do. He had already finished his book, his computer had died, and Henley refused to let him turn the radio on after he had burst out singing Shania Twain's Any Man of Mine.

Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored! He tried looking out the window, but the fast moving scenery did nothing but give him a headache so he looked back around, wincing as he hit the armrest with his side as Henley swerved once more. Then a light bulb went off and he grinned.

"Are we there yet?"

"No." Daniel replied absent-mindedly, not really listening as he studied his phone.

A few seconds passed.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

Two seconds passed.

"Are we there yet?"

"No!"

No time at all passed before Merritt, with a big grin, continued his pestering.

"Are we there yet?"

"I said no, Merritt!" Daniel snapped angrily. "Now shut up!"

"But I'm bored." Merritt whined, grin firmly in place.

"Read a book." Daniel all but ordered.

"I'm finished."

"Sleep."

"Sleeping's boring!" Merritt couldn't help but laugh as Daniel turned back around with a huff and opened the map back up.

Five seconds of silence passed.

"Are we there yet?"
