My Situations Are Not Irrelevant

Ashley continued to come over to my house in the afternoons and of course my mom fell in love with her probably because I never had any friends back home. So when I asked my mother if I could spend the weekend at her house she immediately complied. Which meant my alibi worked and I'd on the road for entire weekend with Max's band! Friday finally came all of us were able to make it. After school we all headed to Ronnie's house because that was were Brett had sent the van. As soon as we all got there we immediately stared loading the van. It had as small white trailer that hooked to the end of the van inside the van there was a single row for a driver and a passenger and the back was empty. It kind of reminded me of the Mystery Machine. But instead of light blue and green this van was black

“This going to be epic!” Robert said jauntily putting an amplifier in the trailer. After everything was loaded the there was a small dilemma. The guys couldn't decide who was going to drive to first.

“How about rock, paper, scissors”? Omar suggested

“Who ever wins has to drive to Henderson” Bryan confirmed

“Sounds fair enough to me” Carson agreed

“Me too” Ronnie added

“ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS SHOOT!” all of them said in unison. After many rounds of the game Robert got stuck with driving to Henderson. All of us piled in the van. Ronnie, Carson and Robert sat in the front the rest of us piled in the back. Surprisingly it wasn't that crowded despite the fact there were 4 of us sitting back there and Robert's drumset along with many amplifier cords

“Ok, how you work this thing Michelle?” Robert said pushing the buttons on my GPS loaned out for this weekend special occasion. I leaned over the seat from the back and pushed one button

“Turn out on Holbrook drive” a female monotone voice came from the device

“Awesome!” Robert exclaimed and started driving

~z~Z~z~Z~z~Z~z~Z~

Our destination was only about 20 miles away it took Robert only 30 minutes or less to get there. We all decided to check in to a cheap motel called Motel 6. It wasn't the best looking but we just needed a place to sleep for the night. All of us clambered out of the van stretching. Ronnie and Omar went to pay for the room. Yeah one room 2 beds 7 people. Most of us brought sleeping bags just in case we had to sleep in the van or on the floor.

“Are you ok”? Max inquired I felt his hand rubbing my shoulder.

“Yeah”

“Sure?”

Before I could reply Omar and Ronnie came from the motel's front office. The key dangled from its ring on Omar's finger. He was shaking it noisily above his head

“Ok, who's going to get the beds?” Bryan pointed out

“We're going to race for it” Ashley stated

“How are we going to do that”? Carson asked confused as well as everyone else

“we start from the end of the parking lot to our room who ever gets to the beds first sleeps there they can pick if they want to share a bed or not” she explained

“But who will open the door we have to keep it fair” Max said

“I will, I don't mind sleeping on the floor” I told everyone.With that Omar handed me the key. Everyone was in place. Carson, Omar, Ronnie, Ashley, Max, Bryan, and Robert all we lined up at the far end of the parking lot in a ready to run positions it was only about

40 feet (12 meters roughly) I was stationed at the door or our room. As fast as I could I unlocked the door and quickly moved out the way. It was kind of funny seeing all of them running there hair was blown back. Half way threw it was apparent there was going to be a ties between Ronnie, Robert, and Max. Everyone ran inside the bed room. I peeked inside Max was stretched across one and Ronnie on the other.

“Who are you guys going to share the bed with?” Ashley asked them

“Well, we all know Max is going to pick Michelle, who are you picking Ronnie?” Carson said.

“You know what, I think I'll just sleep alone unless Ash wants to join me” Ronnie said in a very cocky way. Everyone was looking at Ashley she shrugged and pursed her lips

“As long as you stay on your side” she agreed

“Whoa, are you serious?” Ronnie proclaimed a smiled curled around his lips

“Sure why not Ronnie”

We had a few hours before the first show but everybody was getting ready. I felt out of place as always. This time because everyone was doing something and I just sat there on the bed. Bryan was spiking his hair in the mirror, Ronnie and Max next too him straightening their hair. Robert was brushing his teeth over the sink. And Ashley was helping the rest of the guys with their eyeliner. I was getting really bored watching everyone so walked out side. I made sure to shut the door quietly. I began kicking a small rock along the sidewalk it wasn't long before Max came out to investigate

“What are you doing out here?”

“Nothing”

“Then why'd you walk out like that?” `Sometimes Max can be so inquisitive'

“It's nothing really” i said again Max furrowed his eyebrow

“Well, everybody was doing something and I was just sitting there so I….”

“Felt out of place or in the way” Max finished my sentence I looked surprised

“Yeah how did you know” before he could reply everybody came piling out of the room and in too the van

“Hurry up guys were leaving” Omar called to us getting in to the driver side
