chapter4

�Hey Laura wake up.� Ashleigh said, while pulling the covers off of her.
�Go away!� Laura yelled and grabbed the covers back, going to sleep again. Ashleigh shook her head and grabbed her wallet. She headed out the door toward the closest store. When she got there she bought some gum and some aspirin. She was in line when she saw Jose in line ahead of her.
�Hey what re you doing here?� Ashleigh asked and then she looked down at the item he was buying. It was a pregnancy test. Ashleigh was out of breath and she was totally shocked.
�Who is that for?� Ashleigh asked.
�Well�its for uh�its for� Laura�yea Laura.� He said looking really nervous.
�Laura?� Ashleigh asked.
�Laura.� He stated and he paid for it.
�Are you sure?� she asked.
�Yea. Laura.� He said.
Ashleigh paid for her stuff and then she left, not even looking back.
�Hey do you want a ride back?� Jose asked.
�No, Laura.� Was all that came out of Ashleigh mouth. And she continued to walk and then run almost. She made it back and went into the lobby. She was still puzzled by everything.
She walked into her room and started getting ready for the road. She didn�t want to talk to any one in particular.
She went downstairs and saw dale. She marched up to him.
�Why didn�t you tell me?" Ashleigh yelled and asked in combination.
�What?!?� He said and he pulled her aside.
�Who told you?� Dale asked.
�Jose.� Ashleigh said.
�I can�t believe him! That Bastard.� Dale whispered.
�What? He does you a favor and you call him a bastard?� Ashleigh asked.
�Yea well he shouldn�t have told you. I wanted it to be a surprise to Laura I wanted her to be the first to hear.� Dale said.
�Oh really I think the signs are going to be pretty obvious.� Ashleigh said.
�Ok just don�t tell anyone, I want the proposal to be a surprise.� He said.
�Proposal!!!!!!!!!!!!� Ashleigh yelped.
�Yeah what were you talking about?� Dale asked.
�Well I was talking about the pregnancy test!� Ashleigh said.
�Pregnancy test?� dale asked, his eyes wide open.
�Yea, I saw Jose buying it for her.� Ashleigh said.
�Oh my god, she�s pregnant.� He said.
�Now you don�t know that for sure, and let her tell you on her own time.� Ashleigh said.
�Ok.� Dale didn�t really say much of anything else.

They were on the road again, Ashleigh volunteered to drive again.
�Hello�hello.� Ashleigh said messing with the radio again. Then ahead was a roadblock and they had to turn around and go on a different freeway. Which made the trip even longer. The radio was all static and annoying.
�Hello.� Said a voice from the other end.
�Um�hi� Jose said.
�Who is this?� the voice asked.
�This is generator. Who is this?� Jose said.
�This is IT.� IT said.
�Ok.� Jose said.
�Now, I thought I heard a girl on this before.� It said.
Ashleigh grabbed the Radio and answered him.
�Hi, I�m baby doll.� Ashleigh said.
�Well don�t you sound nice?� It said.
�So like have you seen the movie IT? By Steven King.� Ashleigh said.
�Yes I have.� It said.
�Well I hate clowns they are so scary.� Ashleigh said.
�Well then you wouldn�t like me.� It said. Ashleigh handed the radio to Jose and just kept driving.
Laura was in the back.
�Oh my god a clown!� she yelled and she hid under Dale�s shirt. Ashleigh looked in the rear view mirror at Laura.
�Hey Laura why don�t you just hide in his Pants?� Ashleigh said laughing.
�Shut up!� Laura and Dale said together.
Ashleigh just kept driving. And Danny was in the back saying�
�Are we there yet�are we there yet�are we there yet?� And it was pissing every one off. Finally Ashley got fed up.
�Danny please I have a headache.� Ashley said. Lying down on his shoulder. Danny shrugged and went on listening to music.
Jose handed her some aspirin and water. �Here this might help.� He said.

They were in Utah and Laura and Ashleigh had to pee. So they pulled over. Ashley was in the restroom with them and she was throwing up like crazy. Ashleigh came up behind her.
�Are you ok?� Ashleigh said.
�I�m fine.� She said and Ashleigh just walked off.
�Hey Laura, do you have anything major to tell me?� Ashleigh asked.
�No, I don�t think so.� Laura said.
�Oh ok, just know that you guys can tell me anything ok?� Ashleigh said walking into the diner.
The waitress came up behind her as she sat down across from Jose.
�What can I get you guys?� The lady asked.
�Well, I�ll have some fruit punch and some fruit.� Ashleigh said putting her menu down.
�Vegetarian huh?� She asked.
�No, not all the time.� Ashleigh said.
�Oh, and how about you darling?� she said, obviously in a flirty way. Ashleigh suppressed her giggle.
�I�ll�uh� have the ham sandwich.� He said handing her the menu.
�Ok I�ll be back with your orders darling.� She said looking at Jose.
She left and Ashleigh started laughing. Jose just looked at her.
�She was definitely flirting with you.� Ashleigh said.
�She was not.� He said.
�Don�t deny it, she likes you, she wants to kiss you, she wants to marry you.� Ash said teasing.
�Ok miss congeniality.� He said. They both laughed.
�Look, ash I want to ask you something,� he said.
�Ok.� Ash said.
�Well I was wondering if you would go to the movies with me tonight, I mean we are in this town and obviously we are staying the night, so� would you want to?� he asked. Her eyes lit up and she nodded.
"Great." He said grining.
