(Z.m) Hiatus DRV.

Chapter 9

[Three days later....]

(Danielle P.O.V)

I was beginning to lighten up more as time progressed. All of the attractions Hayley took us rattled me, but every moment was fun. Well, except the shark tank. I am very much afraid of sharks.

I was currently in a peaceful sleep, dreaming about laying on a beach, tanning peacefully.

Suddenly, a sharp coolness can be felt on my bare skin, pressing weight onto my body. I open my eyes, seeing my body covered in wet sand. I grimace, shaking the sand off my hands. Hands grasp my shoulders, rocking me back and forth rapidly.

I look up into Hayley's eyes, yet she continues to shake me,. "Dan! Dani! Danielle!" She yells. I frown. "Huh? What is it?" I ask. Annoyance and anticipation crosses her face, and she shakes me harder.

"Dani! Danielle!" "What?!"

"Danielle! Danielle get up!" She says loudly. I frown. What does she mean, 'get up'? I am awake. Right?

"Danielle!"-

I open my eyes, seeing Hayley still on top of me, though I lack the feel of sand on me. I look down, and see the familiar hotel bed. Once Hayley realizes I'm awake, she smiles, hoisting me up fully.

She looks me in the eye, a bright smile on her face. "Get up. Get dressed." She says, before dropping me. I land on the cushion of the bed, frowning up at her. I scramble to prop myself up, brushing my hair out of my face.

"What's the big deal? Its, what, 7 o'clock in the morning!?"

She crawls off me, smoothing her top down. "Its two in the afternoon, Dani." She murmurs, not turning back to me. I arch an eyebrow, rolling over to check the clock. 2:19 a.m.

Oh.

I lazily fall back onto the bed, looking over at her. "Why did you wake me up? I was enjoying that dream." I whine, covering my face with a pillow. "Cuz it was time to get up! Me and Harry already had breakfast and went back to the beach."

I remove the pillow to glare at her. "Without me."

"Sorry lazy butt! You looked to peaceful though! And you never woke up each time we checked on you."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be dressed in a sec." I say, crawling out of bed. "Good. I'll be right back." She replies, before walking out. I roll my eyes, tugging open a drawer. "What to wear today..."

[5 hours later]

"Danielle! Dani, did you even hear me?!" Hayley shouts. I shake my head, motioning for her to repeat whatever she just said. "Harry wants to know whether you are up for the casino or a bar." She says.

My eyebrows twitch, and I tink back on the night back in New York. That wasn't so much fun.

"Casino." I say reluctantly. Hayley smiles, turning back to Harry upfront. I look back out the window, watching as we pass tourist attractions and other bright buildings. Soon, we stop at a red light, Hayley and Harry chatting with each other.

I glance out at the car beside us, and I am faintly able to see through the windows. I see...Liam? Whoa, whoa, whoa. That can't be. He was back in NY. It's gotta be someone else, right?

We advance forward, and the Liam look alike turns the other way, driving off into the lonely desert, far from the city or any other civilization.
