The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 92~

Kristina's POV
That night, I woke up to a nightmare. I screamed, and suddenly Joanna came.

"Are you okay? What's going on?", she asked.

"I- I had a bad dream", I said.

Joanna sat down at my bed.

"What did you dream about?", she asked worried.

"The bodies from those poor boys.. disgusting", I said.

"I understand.. but it's just bodies.. why do you care?", she asked.

"Because I took their lives.. painfully", I said.

"It's fine.. it's their own fault.. they didn't stop screaming, and one of them kicked me", Joanna said.

"They were panicking.. I would do the same", I told her.

"Are you traumatized?", she asked me.

"I think I am.. even though I donut care that much as I did anymore", I explained.

"I understand that.. you've seen a lot of blood to be only 15 years old", she said.

"Wake me up if you feel the need", was the last things she said before she turned around to leave the room. But I stopped her.

"Joanna, wait, this is so awkward.. but can you please stay with me?", I asked.

"I- sure", she said.

"Can I ask you if you're scared?", she asked.

"Maybe a little.. I can't get the pictures off of my head.. I'm a mass murderer", I said.

"Kristina, this is not your fault.. Most of the time, I was the one who forced you to do it.. this is my fault", Joanna said.

The next day, I woke up around 10:15 am. I met Joanna and Alex in the living room.

"Where's Dory?", I asked.

"She's on the beach swimming", Joanna said.

"Why don't you go there too? I'll make you food", she offered.

"I'm good.. I don't like swimming", I said. I looked a little nervous.

Joanna just looked at me worried. I could tell she knew why I didn't like swimming. I wasn't confident in myself.

"Hey.. sit down", she said.

"I understand that girls at your age are very low on theirselves, but you shouldn't.. just have fun! Only Dory is there now, you'll be fine", she said.

"Maybe there's sharks there", I used as an excuse.

"There's no sharks there, Kristina.. but if you don't want to go there, then you don't have to", she said.

I went there anyways.. it was a little uncomfortable, but it was fine. After we swam, we went back to the house and showered. At the evening, Dory and I went down to the beach just by sitting there talking alone. And then we went to bed around 12:00 am.
