Selena:

Cars always suffered the most in a long journey. By the end they would be littered with sweet wrappers and crisp packets, have empty plastic bottles shoved into the netting at the back of the front seats or kicked out of sight. Pillows, blankets and other make shift comforts would be wedged into tight corners, seat belts stretched because they’re itching bare necks and feet would be dangling at all sorts of strange angles to avoid a numb bum, pins and needles or worst of all the dreaded cramp!

Selena was struggling at the current moment to decide what looked worse the car or her. She dragged the sun shield down to eye herself in the small mirror catching how her hair stuck up from the power nap she’d taken. Pulling out her glasses she pushed them on to see a slightly clearer view of her surroundings.
Trees.
Trees and a town.
Stretching she looked over to the drivers seat and glanced behind at the others sitting in the back.
“We there?” she muttered whilst stifling a yawn. Propping her feet up on the dash board and tweaking the air conditioning with a toe so it was more facing her she glanced at her phone and noted the low signal. “We must be there” she murmured under her breath turning her eyes towards the window to take in the slow moving town outside.
Falcon Grave was one of those back water towns situated miles and miles from the city and looking at it now if this was Falcon Grave it certainly showed.
It was one of those small places where everyone was in each others pockets- she could already tell.

Yawning again Selena fidgeted around for a drink and asked someone to pass her a lucozade. Reaching a hand back someone passed her a half drunken one. It was luke warm and had only half the fizz. Nice.

Partially concealing a burp Selena wiggled in her seat some more. Numb bum. Before she turned her body on the side with a grim smile in place. "Not to sound like a kid but are we there yet? The house is close right i mean- i feel stiffer than a guy if you know what i mean and its not a good thing" she joked.
