    I woke up that following day late for that summer. I turned to see Missy passed out on the ground. I got up slowly and began to head downstairs. Someone was sitting at the table. It took a while for me to notice who it was.
        "Zack?" I asked."
        "How do you know my name? Where am I ?" He asked.
    He looked sickly; I didn't blame him for being confused. Before ending up on the ground, the last thing I remember was seeing Evan come out of his room. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor with no vision in my right eye. Evan was able to calm him down. He then proceeded to help him back to his room. Next, Evan ran to the kitchen. Soon, I got ice for my eye. Evan then ran a glass of water to Zack.
    After a while, Evan came out of the room and sat next to me.
        "Are you okay?" He asked.
        "Yeah, that escalated quickly," I responded.
        "Well, I don't know when the others are going to get up. So do you want to play a game?"
        "Sure."
        "What do you want to play?"
        "Do they have cards?"
        "I don't know. Let me go look."
    He got up and looked under the television.
        "Found it," He announced.
        "That was quick," I responded.
        "My grandparents have their games in the same place."
        "Cool."
    I got up and sat at the table.
        "What were you thinking?" Evan asked as he began to shuffle.
"Okay, so it's war, but whoever wins gets to ask the other a question," I explained.
        "Sure."
    He began to deal. I put the ice on the table.
        "How's your eye?" He asked.
        "I'm slowly getting my vision back," I responded.
        "Let me take a look."
    He got up and began to inspect my eye.
        "Holy shit, he got you good."
        "Ya. I guess."
    Evan then kissed my forehead and sat back down.
        "Ready?"

  I woke up that morning to Zack's freaked-out voice. I went out of my room to see Zack look sick, freaking out on Ollie. Ollie soon looked at me. Zack soon charged her, punching her right eye. She fell on her butt, and I immediately went into action. 
        "Hey, Hey, hey!" I said.
    Zack looked at me.
        "It's me, Evan." I calmly explained. 
        "Evan?" He asked.
        "Yeah, bud?"
        "Evan, I don't feel good."
        "I know, bud."
    I began to help him to his room.
        "I will be right back," I told him.
    I closed the door. I bolted toward the kitchen. I grabbed a cup of water as ice. I quickly handed it to Ollie and proceeded to go to Zack's room. He was already passed out on the bed. I slowly came in and placed the cup on the side table. Ollie and I were talking, and I was curious how bad he got her. She soon showed me her eyes. It was extremely swollen.
    We finally were ready to start our game. 
        "Ready?" I asked.
        "Sure," She responded.
         "3..2...1."
    We both turned our cards over. She had a king, and I had a seven.
        "Um, What your relationship with Zack?" She asked.
        "His dad and my dad are best friends." I continued. "We practically grew up together."
    We continued the game.
        "What up is with you, missy?" I asked.
        "We are cousins," She continued. "I didn't know about her until a week before this happened."
        "What do you mean?"
        "Well, my grandma's sister was a bad person." She continued. "She only wanted boys, so when she found out, she found out she was pregnant with Missy's mom."
        "Holy shit. What stopped her?"
        "My grandma saved her; Missy's mom was put up for adoption without anyone in our family knowing."
        "How did she find you?"
        "Once Missy's grandma died, My mom reached out to Missy's mom."
        "Oh."
        "Yeah, once Missy's parents lost their jobs, we let them live at my house."
        "Cool."
    We continued.
       "Do you have a girlfriend?" She asked.
         "Nope," I answered.
         "Cool."
    She grabbed her phone.
        "Let's stop here." She said.
      "Why?" I asked.
        "To start breakfast."
        "I'm down."
    I grabbed her hand as we headed to the kitchen. We started making breakfast for everyone.

    I woke up to the smell of bacon. I don't remember falling asleep on the ground. I got up and began to head downstairs. The two love birds were sitting at the table.
        "Morning," I said.
   This is the moment I saw Olivia's eye.
        "What happened to your face?" I asked. 
        "Zach woke up and freaked out."
        "Oh shit."
        "Get a plate and get some breakfast."
        "Don't tell me what to do, Karen."
   I proceed to get a plate of eggs, bacon, and hash browns. Then, finally, I sat down in front of the love birds.
        "Sup," I said.
        "So, what's the plan for today?" Ollie asked.
        "We wait for Bailey and Eva," Evan explained.
        "Ugh..." I whined.
       "We need to be safe, Missy."
        "I know, but still."
        "My grandparents have a pool." Sam pipped in.

    I woke up later than everyone else. I opened my door to see Missy, Evan, and Ollie at the table talking.
        "My grandparents have a pool," I mentioned. 
    I headed to the kitchen to get breakfast.
        "Did you guys even bring your swimsuits?" Evan asked.
        "Duh!" Olivia and Missy responded.
    This is when I sat at the table and saw Olivia's eye.
        "Holy shit!" I said. "Ollie, your eye. What happened?"
        "Zack-" Ollie began
       "Woke-" Evan continued.
        "Up." Missy ended.
    I began to eat breakfast as everyone talked about the day's plans.

?
    I don't remember anything from that day. When I gave Olivia the black eye. I felt like I was being controlled. Like I was a video game character. I then lost my memory once again.

    Missy's warning freaked me out. I got up early the following day. I forced her up. We were walking into the hotel when Eva pipped up.
        "If we weren't getting free breakfast, I would kick your ass."
    She was not a morning person.
        "Weirdly, I predicted you would say that," I responded. "Stop complaining."
    She continued giving me a death glare.
        "Fine, I'll pay for your Starbucks," I explained.
    We ate breakfast, then left and got to Starbucks. We soon got on the road.
