The Sane Abandoned Me

We all stood clutching our bags waiting to board the coach. We're going to Berlin! I let out a long squeal and all the girls copied it just as enthusiastically. Gerard was giving a very excited Frank a piggy back and Orlando was going through his checklist making sure he had everything.

"Have you got your polaroid camera, Katherine?" He questioned.

"For the 100th time yas!" She yelled, sat on Clary's lap.

To all of our relief, Jack had decided not to grace us with his presence on the trip. Mr Sheet called us all indicating that it was time to board. Gerard quickly said goodbye to Donna and Mikey, giving his Brother an extremely tight hug. Everyone else said goodbye to their family and I said goodbye to Emma and Sophie as all my family were working.

When we had finished all the mushy business of bidding farewell we got comfortable on the coach.

The coach was a two seater so the seating arrangement went as follows:
-Holly and Summer
-Anna and Hattie said opposite them
-Me and Gerard sat behind
-John and Marilyn sat opposite
-Clary and Katherine behind us
-Orlando and Dan opposite them
-Frank and Ray behind them
-Serena and Ryan opposite them

We didn't sit at the back because me, Marilyn and Summer got coach sick. Actually no one was sat at the back we were the only ones on the trip, save two boys in our year who were friends of Gerard's called Evan and Jackson and four girls including Carey from our drama class.

We all put our bags above our head and Mr Sheet spoke into the coach microphone.
"Are we ready?"

"FUCK YES!" Clary screamed due to the fact that she had her headphones in turned up full blast. Mr Sheet ignored her language because he was too happy to care. The vehicle began moving and we waved at our families who were sending us off. Gerard waved at Mikey who ran after the coach but he tripped on one of his laces causing me to cry with laughter.

"WE'RE GOING TO BERLIN GUYS!" Orlando suddenly shouted and everyone cheered.

"Anyone want to switch seats?" Dan asked with a cheeky smile on his face.

"You love me really!" O insisted.

"Are you tweeting?" I asked John who was typing ferociously into her phone.

"Yep!" She answered her tongue sticking out cutely.

"We need to have a selfie guys!" Holly yelled.

"How about we have it at the Euro tunnel?" I suggested.

"Okay." Holly agreed, putting away her phone.

I was about to talk to Marilyn but she was busy in a deep conversation with Evan.

"Please don't be sick on me!" Gerard pleaded.

"I won't!" I assured him.

"I might though." Summer giggled.

"Guys we are going to put on Hunger Games: Catching Fire!" Mr Sheet announced, causing Serena to groan.

"Hunger games scares me!"

"It's okay you can cuddle me." Ryan coaxed her and we all began watching the film.

***********

We stopped at a service station in France. I squeezed past Gerard as he was asleep and I definitely needed a pee. I past Frank throwing sweets into Ray's mouth and shook Katherine and Clary as they were huddled under blankets watching 'Supernatural'.

"Coming to the toilet?" I whispered, in consideration to the people sleeping.

"Sure Dandelion." Clary answered pulling out her headphones and ruffling her hair.

Anna, Hattie, Marilyn, Clary, Katherine and me all left for the toilet. We ran across the car park and Hattie yelled.

"WE'RE IN FRANCE!"

We all shushed her as it was 2am here. Hurriedly, we entered the services to find that you had to pay for the toilet and none of us had any euros. But we noticed a kid entrance where you didn't have to pay so we all ducked underneath it and did our business #rebels.

I got back on the coach and sat carefully back next to Gerard so as not to wake him. I put in my headphones and listened to You me at six, falling into a deep sleep.

*********

I was awoken to people shouting and the noise of retching. Oh god I thought to myself, Summer must be being sick. I opened my eyes to find the raven haired boy beside me throwing up on the coach floor. Mr Sheet was the one shouting running up and down the coach looking for a plastic bag and waking everyone else up in the process.

"Oh my goodness Gerard!" I screeched. He retched in reply. I quickly brought his hair away from his face and took the bag that Sir was waving in front of my face. Gerard grabbed it and began being violently sick into it. I got out my water and a sweet; To take the taste away.

"Gee-bear." I whispered rubbing his back.

"Ddon't llook at mmme." He stuttered between his sick. "I'm a mess right now, you don't want to see me."

"Aww Gee." I began as he finally stopped throwing up. "I don't mind, you're perfect in every Gerard Way." I finished, wiping his mouth with a tissue.

"That was so cheesy." He murmured sitting back in his seat. I chuckled and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay now?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna sleep." He murmured and fell asleep straight away using the cool window as a pillow.

I put in my headphones once again and attempted to sleep. About 30 minutes later I let my eyes creak open and I saw Gerard asleep with his mouth smushed on the glass of the window; They were full on making out. I quickly snapped a picture and fell asleep.

*********

I was awoken again by shouting, but to my utter relief there was no retching. And the shouts were shouts of excitement as I realised we were driving through Berlin and were nearly at our hotel.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Gerard asked, noticing I was awake.

"It really is." I breathed.

We arrived at the hotel and the teachers allowed us to check into our rooms and freshen up before we headed straight out on our tour.

A tiring but interesting tour of a prison and many Polaroids later, we stopped outside the Brandenburg Gate for lunch.

"It's so pretty!" Katherine exclaimed taking a Polaroid.

"We're going to go to the shop!" Anna, Serena and Hattie announced dragging Ryan and Ray with them.

Me, Gerard, Marilyn, John, Frank, Clary, Katherine, Orlando, Summer, Holly, Jackson and Evan all sat on the edge of a fountain eating our pre-made lunches.

"Gerard what sandwich have you got?" Frank asked looking at his disgustedly.

"Ham and cheese." He answered, getting it out.

"Trade me."

"No way, you have like egg."

Frank didn't really like that answer so he snatched Gerard's sandwich out of his hand and ran towards the gate. Gerard followed him while screaming then rugby tackled him to the floor. They wrestled and Gerard eventually got his sandwich back and made his way back to us.

"I'm so dirty babe." He groaned at me while brushing the mud off of his skinny jeans.

"Have you got cookies?!" Marilyn asked Evan excitedly pointing at his lunch.

"Yeah." He replied smirking.

"Can I have one?" She asked batting her eye lashes sweetly.

"You can have one if you sit on my lap." Evan challenged.

"Done." She stated and hopped onto his lap taking the cookies from his grasp.

"Marilyn you absolute hoe!" I joked, mock gasping.

"What? Its cookies!" She defended.

The teachers and the people in the shop came back then and said it was time to go back to the hotel. So we all began making our way back there when Gerard draped his arm over my shoulders. I leaned against him when Marilyn came up behind us and forced us to separate.

"I'm so dirty babe!" She mocked while stuffing the rest of the cookies in her mouth.

~Serena's POV~

When we got back to the hotel we went back to our different rooms to put away all our stuff. I didn't want to leave Ryan but I had to because the rooms were one gender only.

A knock sounded at our door and I got up to get it hoping for Ryan, but was greeted instead by an annoyed Orlando.

"Guys I had to come over because I will just die if I have to spend another minute in a room of just boys!"

"Whats Ryan doing?" I asked.

"All of them are just finishing up their un-packing then there all coming here." O explained going to sit on Daisy's bed.

I went and sat on Clary's bed as she was busy stinking out our shared bathroom.

"Want to see my Polaroids?" Katherine asked me and I nodded eagerly just as the door knocked again.

All the boys entered and we began a giant game of truth or dare. We spent the rest of the night laughing mostly at all the dares that we made Frank do.

**********

The next morning we got up really early and went to a concentration camp tour. When it had finished we had a few minutes to go to the toilet and such before we went to dinner. The stuff we had seen hit me quite hard and I needed to be alone. So I went and sat around the other side of the toilet and stared at the gravel and tears made their way out of my eyes. I looked at the gravel that I was now watering and thought so many people have died here. It makes me sick. When someone said my name softly. I looked up to see Ryan.

"Serena." He said again, sitting beside me.

"Its just so sad." I explained whilst laying my head on his shoulder.

"I know." He coaxed, running his fingers through my hair slowly.

*********

I had cheered up a little bit and we all went to dinner at an Italian restaurant; So German, I know.

I sat beside Ryan and he squeezed my hand lightly and we all went through the many pictures we had already taken.

"We only have one more day here!" Marilyn complained as we left the restaurant.

"Then lets make it a good day!" Evan shouted bringing Marilyn onto his shoulders, she squealed and held on tightly.

"Do you want to go on my shoulders?" Frank asked John bending down to her height. Not that he had to bend down far as him and John were both short asses.

"I'm good on the ground thanks." She replied kissing his cheek gently. They were so cute and I'm pretty sure they are now going out.

"Are you okay now?" Ryan asked me, pushing my hair out of my view.

"Yeah I'm better."

"I know this is a really awkward time to ask but...umm would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked looking down at the floor the whole time, scuffing his shoes.

"Of course!" I replied lifting his head up from the ground and kissing him passionately.

~Daisy's POV~

Our last day went in a blur, we went to a jewish museum then to the only remaining bit of the Berlin wall. We took about 100 selfies next to all the art work then we got a train and went to the Olympic stadium.

When we were all back on the coach ready for our 16 hour drive back, the boys noticed that Evan was asleep. So they began hatching a plan, as Ryan was the closest to the sleeping boy he filled up a bottle lid with water and tipped it onto the poor boys crotch.

They shook Evan awake and he looked around bewildered.

"Evan not again!" Jackson chuckled pointing at the dampness on Evan's trousers.

"I haven't wet myself I swear!" He insisted. trying to dry it.

Me and Marilyn caught eyes and absolutely cracked up when Sir made an announcement.

"We are stopping at a services station now, Evan you should just say next time."
