(ooc: Wow! Seriously, I didn't expect SO many of you guys to offer a place to crash for Shawn. It warms his spirit! Since he's quite serious about the road trip but, should you all really go along with it, I am really not capable of putting up SO MANY threads - this is his one big road-trip post. If your muse still has a warm place on the couch for him and of course only if you are interested in playing something out you can just reply here with whatever you want - your muse doing daily stuff before Shawn decides to show up, song lyrics, a nice picture of a pineapple might pull him in as well... whatever you feel like. :D)

As soon as he left Santa Barbara behind he already knew this had been the right decision.
Hell, his father could accuse him of running away ten times a day for all he cared. Henry wouldn't understand that facing things wasn't going to help right now - when you were ill you at least let the chicken soup cool down a little before you forced it down your throat, right? And this chicken soup was way too hot right now. Also, he doubted that it would benefit his health but that was a completely different matter altogether.
But this, hitting the road on his Norton, this was what he needed right now, the freedom of just getting out of it for now, of feeling the wind on his face.
Not that he did feel the wind because he wasn't stupid enough to drive without a helmet, but still. The metaphorical wind indirectly on his face as he contemplated his first stop. Yeah, he just had to clear his head, cool down and - most important - have a good time. When Santa Barbara got him back he and everything else would be back to normal again.
At least that's what he hoped. He wouldn't have it any other way.

"Hey buddy. Welcome to Los Angeles. C'mon in!"

I mean, we got a couch and...I think we got one of those air mattresses around." Chuck then motioned to the kitchen and asked, "So anyway, can I get ya anything to drink or something?"

Date: 2008-03-13 12:36 am (UTC)He chuckled as he put the carton of juice back into the fridge. Then he walked to Shawn and gave him the glass. "But yeah, it's pretty cool just to get out of town for a bit. See new stuff, that's sorta thing."
He thought it would best to say that much to show Shawn he wasn't going to pry if he didn't feel like talking about the real reason he was on his road trip.

Date: 2008-03-21 03:06 pm (UTC)He then shrugged. "But, who cares about that stuff. I mean it's modern guitars we care about now!" He held up the two Guitar Hero guitars and then set up the game.

Date: 2008-04-03 11:47 pm (UTC)A moment later though, Chuck decided to forget about Casey as he selected 'Slow Ride' from the game menu.
"Slow ride, take it easy," he sang as he played the cords.
