Chapter 4:

"Promise me something?" Katie asked as Kendall pulled back on to the highway.

"Anything," Kendall said, turning down the radio.

"Promise me next time you'll just stop," Katie begged.

Kendall blushed. "Okay," He mumbled. Katie smiled, turning the radio back up, kissing the boy softly on the cheek, yawning sleepily. Kendall chuckled. "Rest." Katie nodded, grabbing her stuffed platypus from by her feet, snuggling in to her seat. Kendall smiled, switching the music off. He drove for a short bit before the soda caught up with him. He didn't want to stop, he was afraid of waking Katie up. But he also didn't want to have another accident. What would she think then? He sighed, pulling off at the first rest stop he saw. He went like that for two more hours, Katie sleeping until about three, never noticing when Kendall stopped.

"Hey sleepy," Kendall said, noticing the small girl waking up.

"Hi," Katie yawned, setting her platypus back down at her feet. She flipped the music back on, her phone cutting it off suddenly when Carlos called.

"Hellooo?" Katie answered.

"Hey, mandatory gas stop at the next exit okay?" he explained.

"Gotcha," The two occupants of the car answered together. They hung up, going back to the music. It wasn't long before they reached the exit, seeing Logan's truck following behind them, assuming James was behind the truck. They pulled in to the seven eleven, parking first in front of the convenience store. Logan dropped down from the truck while Carlos slid down from the passenger side.

"What's up?" Katie asked once they were all huddled up.

"Just a heads up, it's a gated community, so just call me when you finally get there, because they won't let you in without my permission, got it?"

"And that's the whole reason we had to stop?!" James asked.

"Hey Mary here needs gas!" Logan argued, petting his truck gingerly. Katie rolled her eyes. She needed gas too, but she was hungry. She grabbed a bottle of raspberry tea and some corn nuts before heading up front to pay for that and her gas.

"Boo!" Carlos shouted.

"Hey," Katie said with a small smile.

"Lexie can't wait for you to get there," Carlos said, examining the gum.

"A-Alexa's coming?" Katie stammered out. She always looked childish compared to her, and everyone always treated her like a little kid when Alexa was around.

"Yeah, she really wants to get to know you, especially after the secret ordeal at the label's Christmas party last year, when you had to leave early." They both shuddered at that. "Promise me you won't cut this summer? Please?" Katie nodded, looking at her fingers.

"I'm more prepared for publicity this time around, should there be any," She whispered.

"What're you guys whispering about?" Kendall said as he wrapped his arm around Katie.

"Oh just the fact Alexa's coming," Katie said, managing a weak smile. Kendall kissed Katie's hair softly. He knew how she felt around the other girl. They went back out to the car to pump the gas, Katie sliding back in to the driver's side.

"Relax," Kendall said as they pulled out of the parking lot. "I'm not gonna let them compare you to Alexa this time." Katie nodded, not really buying it. Kendall sighed, sliding the CD he'd made for her into the player.
