His Unexpected Goodbye

Chapter 17

~~~

Time passed by and Saturday came in, we had to pack our bags ahead of time just to prepare. Our flight is tomorrow afternoon, after lunch. The classes in Sapient University will start this Monday, and I'm still not ready.

I sighed. The hotel room is a mess, clothes are everywhere and the beds aren't done well. I took my duffle bag and my purse, to check if all of my belongings are still there.

The girls are also busy taking care of their own stuff, we're all folding our clothes, towels, and other things. I placed my skincare products inside my little pouch, and after that, I placed my gadgets inside of my purse. Leaving my clothes for tonight and tomorrow, on the bed Vry and I share.

"Oh, you're all up early?" Gaeb says as he opens the door. We all looked at him. "Hurry up Ameelya. We're going somewhere." He then closes the door and we all started teasing Amee.

Minutes after Gaeb came in, Nycho came in too. He then asks for Vrylle's attention, while all of us... are in there listening to them speaking. I just stood there, looking at them sharply.

"Gaia, are you done? We're off somewhere." He says, with the most firm voice I heard. "Speed things up, if you can."

I shrugged it off, Amee and Vry walked outside as soon as they finished packing while I was left with Theia and Venylie inside the room, watching TV. I sat on the bed, putting a pillow on my back for support.

Yet, Theia went out to look for Kyve, assuming he's left there since the brothers went out with Vrylle and Ameelya. This time, it was only Venylie and I who's left inside.

For some unexplained reason, I couldn't bring myself to let go of this place. If I had a choice, I would stay here for a little longer. Everything that happened here are good memories, and I want to cling to them forever. I didn't want to leave yet. If only I held time.

Standing up, I walked towards our room's window and opened it, to see a clear view of the wide beach. The waves are calm, and I looked back on the spot where we held our first campfire together with the Flores brothers, and Kyve.

My smile was placed there in the most bittersweet way, knowing that I would miss everything good about this island. It has been an amazing journey here, the vacation itself, but what really mattered to me are the people I shared this experience with.

I hurried back to my bed, to sleep and rest knowing I don't have anything else to do anymore. I already cleaned my things, packed my belongings, and checked my wallet, I had nothing better to do but just relax and enjoy the comforts of our room.

In just a few seconds of forcing my eyes shut, I dozed off. I didn't even notice the surroundings, all I know is that I fell asleep immediately just before I flopped on the bed. I seem tired.

It's one dark room. I don't know where I am, but it feels weird. There's something in the vicinity that doesn't feel alright, there's something unusual around... but I can't push myself to explain it...

This must be a dream... yet I cannot wake up. I could feel my hands trembling in nervousness, as I walked around. Stopped as I noticed a huge mirror in front of me.

My reflection was smiling, but I knew I wasn't. I stepped back, knowing I'm scared and I feel anxious about what ever is happening in front of me...

What kind of monstrosity is this?!

Suddenly, my reflection acted as if it's talking, but I can't hear anything. I moved closer to the mirror, and all of a sudden...
