I was tapping my foot anxiously on the ground. Questions swirled in my head. Where was he? Where has he been? Is this jamaican dude gonna make us pay extra? What are we gonna eat for dinner..?
Thats when I feel strong hands cover my eyes. I nearly punched the person in the gut until I heard Simon's voice.
"Guess who?"
I jumped up from my chair and cross my arms, still tapping my foot.
"Where have you been?! I've been waiting here for about half an hour!", I sassed him.
"The question is where were YOU? I already picked up the ID."
I stare at him, puzzled. We talked with the jamaican worker. There was a slight mixup and, with luck, he didn't charge us.

Simon and I didn't speak on the way to our room.
Once I got to my room, I plopped myself on the bed and wrapped the blanket around me.
"Are you okay?", Simon asked curiously.
I nodded, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to get a clear vision. I glanced at the alarm clock. Midnight... damn.
My throat was dry so I decided to grab a quick drink of water.
As I passed by the mirror, I see that Im wearing a nightgown and, under my night gown, my bathing suit.
I quickly changed and put on my regular pajamas.
Without waking up mom and dad, I took a little peek outside. There was a family of five cozily drinking some coffee and dipping their feet in the water.
Since I was no longer tired, I decided to check my messages. That's odd; I had ten missed calls from Max and three voicemails.
I dialed my voicemail password and listened to the first voicemail.
I hear a boy's distant scream through the phone.
