Oliver leaves before Roxanna wakes up. I'm pretty glad cause I know Roxanna will have questions like, 'I thought your brother was in Europe?'

Other than the awful hangover, she looks better compared to yesterday. Talking about Chad only harms her. She hides her fear but it is very visible.

"Don't judge, we both know am good at other stuff." She says and places a plate of pancakes on the table

"Other than cooking... " I concur.

"And cleaning." She adds.

"Pretty much everything that would discredit you as a woman if you lived in the '50s," I say.

"Thank God for civilization." She sits beside me. "What are we watching?" She asks.

We both say in unison, "Anything that is Chuck Lorre."

I take a bite of the pancake, my gag reflex goes on to activate the mode and I spit it back.

"I will just have a toast," I suggest.

"When will Ryan be here?" Roxanna enquires.

I stand and pick the plate with pancakes. "In the next two hours."

He told us that he will pick us up today for a weekend getaway. I was looking forward to spending the weekend curled up on my couch, reading the Great Gatsby which Quinn brought for me. However, Roxanna needs it more.

"He's cute. Are you two a thing?"

"Nope." I start walking towards the kitchen.

"Why? You are almost graduating and you haven't even had a boyfriend, that is what College is all about."

"I thought it was about studies."

She rolls her eyes, "You know what I mean. You are going to graduate a virgin. Have you ever been kissed?" She asks.

Yeah, everywhere. I smile as I think of Quinn.

"Oh my god, there's someone!" She slaps my arm," Someone has dirty underwear. Who is he?"

I am dying to tell her about Quinn but we are already over so there's nothing to tell.

"I don't kiss and tell," I say to her.

She pouts but gives up, "I will find out, sooner."

Ryan arrives at exactly two in the afternoon. He's wearing shorts for a change. He has great legs with the right edges. Am also wearing shorts with a plain white T-shirt that Roxanna tore at the hem. It hung just above my belly button. She is good at designing.

"You look gorgeous." He compliments as I tie my converse.

"You look good too," I say and pick The Great Gatsby and slip it into my bag. I might as well read during the trip.

"You like reading too?" He asks surprised.

"Don't you?"

"No, but Quinn does. His bedroom looks like a library."

"I know." My tongue slips and I immediately regret it.

He furrows his brows together, "Have you been to his bedroom?" His tone is edgy.

I rapidly say, "No, I was just imagining how it looks..." That doesn't help.

However, he lets out a discontent, "Oh."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."Roxanna joins us. Am forced to take a double look. She has cut her hair until it forms a Bob round her face. Chad did her a number.

"What have you done?" I rush to her.

"I'm starting a new chapter. A brand new me." She starts to walk towards the door.

"You know she needs help," Ryan whispers.

As we near Ryan's SUV I spot Lee at the shotgun. If Courtney is with them am not going anywhere.

"Is Courtney joining us too?" I tip my head at Lee.

"No, it is just Lee and Quinn."

Quinn?

This is worse than enduring a car ride with Courtney.

Ryan opens the door revealing Quinn who Is seated at the furthest corner. His eyes closed and earphones plugged into his ears.

"I want to sit by the window," Roxanna says. I get in, am seated between her and Quinn. He doesn't even move or open his eyes.

I whisper a hi to him which he doesn't respond. I roll my eyes and remove The Great Gatsby Book.

Roxanna pinches my arm, and whispers to my ear, "You are seated next to Quinn, smell him." she squeaks.

"Am not deaf," Quinn responds.

Roxanna slaps her mouth embarrassed.

"I hope everyone has their seatbelts on," Ryan says as he starts the car.

"You girls may need this." Lee passes a bag of chips to us.

I start to read my novel, Roxanna logs into her Instagram. She has quite the followers. Am almost finishing the first page when Quinn speaks. "He dies." He utters.

I turn to him angry for spoiling the book for me. His eyes are still shut. I grab the earphones from him and put one in my ear. There is no music. He was just pretending.

He smirks at me. "Not everyone is excited to be here." He says.

"You should, tomorrow is your big day," Ryan tells him.

What is that supposed to mean?

He sighs bored and puts his earphones back. Unable to continue with my book I close it and take out my phone and log in to Wattpad.

I don't know when I fell asleep but I wake up just as Ryan announces we have reached our destination. I open my eyes and realize I have been laying my head on Quinn's shoulders.

I look up at him, he is staring down at me. I wait for him to say something nasty but it never comes.

He smirks at me, "You drooled on my shirt." He comments.

I wipe my mouth embarrassed and true to his word, there's a wet spot where my head was.

I then realize my vicinity as Ryan slows down. We are at a ranch, massive acres of land spread before us, all planted with wheat. What angers me is when I read Nickle Ranch at the entrance.

"I thought you said we were going on a road trip?" I try to be calm.

"Would come if I told you where we were going?" He asks.

Am quick to respond, "No!"

"No one who is forcing you to be here, You can go back," Quinn says beside me.

"I needed you to be here with me, sorry I lied." Ryan apologizes.

Roxanna pouts, "It won't be that bad, just two days what can go wrong?"

A lot! I imagine as I steal a glance at Quinn.

"Why are we here?" I turn to Ryan.

"On Sunday there's this major 4by4 charity event that involves dirt racing and also..." Ryan replies.

"....Tomorrow is my engagement party." Quinn cuts in.
