Family Vacation

(Noah's Pov)

When I gather everything I climb down from the roof taking the long way. When I get to the lobby I see John chilling at the pool. I look at his jacket and debate if I should go give it to him.

Stop coming after me! His words repeat so I just watch as he stares at the water, concentrated. The blue of the water reflecting off his face. I internally sigh. All I did was try to help and now look where that got me.

I better head back to the restaurant before I get into anymore trouble then I probably am. 

I head back in the direction of the restaurant clutching John's jacket in my hand.

When I got back to the restaurant I'm met with an angry dad and worried looking parents.

I hand Plum John's jacket.

"He's fine. He's just a bit upset at the news," I assure her. She nods taking the jacket and hugging it to her. It hurts to see her family so broken. How is it possible that they have to struggle and we don't?

"Where were you?" My dad whispers. "You went after that buy didn't you?"

I sit down and cross my arms. I'm not speaking to him. He's an ungrateful bastard that thinks like is all about money and having people do thing for you. I can't believe John thinks I'm like that.

Uggh! Why did it hurt so much when he told me those things back on the roof? I don't like him! I barely know him. Yeah keep telling yourself that Noah.

After just getting there, and eating a couple bites of my chicken tenders, they decided to go. I mean it was a 30 minute walk, when you're not running, to get there so I understand. It's pretty late.

When we get back to the hotel someone grabs my arm and turns me around. My dad is so lucky he's my dad because if it was anyone else who grabbed my arm with such force their nose would've been broke.

"You disobeyed me."

I yank my arm out of his grasp.

"Sorry if I care too much dad. You should really take notes."

"You need to let John do things on his own and solve his own problems. He's nothing but a no good rebel kid."

I revert back to what happened on the roof but keep that to myself. I shake my head.

"You don't know him."

I walk away from him and head upstairs to my room to pack.

I don't know why I stood up for him. He hates me and definitely doesn't want nothing to do with me. Forget him.

I slide the pass key and enter the room slamming the door shut.

I grab my suitcase and begin packing up yet again. And this time no one is stopping me.

I have a couple of shirts left to pack when John walks in. How he got in? I don't know. It's silent as he lays on his bed.

"Before you sleep you should hug Austin," I break the silence grabbing my suitcase and heading out.

I knock on Austin and Jin's door and Austin answers. He smiles.

"Hey Noah!"

"Hello, you gotta pack up and move in with your brother. I'll help," I inform him.

He nods letting me in. I set my suitcase down, closing the door.

Jin is passed out on his bed.

Austin struggles dragging his suitcase toward me.
