There're a couple of possibilities for "seven" here since the context isn't super clear! In relation to the previous line mentioning "heaven," it could be a reference to the party game "seven minutes in heaven," which is a kissing game played at many teenage parties in the west. Or, it could mean time spent together, either "seven days" of the road trip or that they have or will be together for seven years. Ex: I used to play "seven minutes in heaven" at parties with my friends and classmates. Ex: Oh, Jonathan and I have been together for seven years now. Ex: We'll be together on the road trip for seven days.
