OF DEATH AND LIFE

Motel California

"The meeting is pushed to tomorrow. We'll be at a Motel in about half an hour.", Coach announced to the Bus full of students.

"Shit.", Elaine mumbled.

"What's up?", Isaac asked, turning around in his seat.

"I forgot to take my Meds this morning, didn't want to be late and all, but I also didn't take them with me.", Elaine explained to him.

"Is it that bad though? You've gone multiple times where you didn't take your meds for like three days."

"Yeah, but I could really use them right now.", Elaine explained.

"Are you too overwhelmed? Did you forget your headphones too? You could borrow mine if you did.", Isaac was quick to get his headphones out of his bag.

"I didn't forget my headphones, I've been using them since we did that only stop, but they're starting to hurt in my ears."

"Oh, okay. What can I do then to help you?"

"There's nothing to do for you. I just have to wait it out now. Half an hours isn't that bad.", Elaine shrugged.

"Okay."

"But thank you, Isaac. I really appreciate it.", Elaine smiled at him thankfully.

Isaac gave a slight smile back.

They had finally arrived at the Motel. Motel Glenn Capri. Just the name alone gave Elaine chills. Stepping out of the Bus, the students were inspecting the Motel they were supposed to sleep in for the night.

"I've seen worse.", Scott said.

"Me too.", agreed Elaine, stepping next to him, still with her hood up.

"Where have you seen worse?", Stiles asked.

Coach blew his whistle.

"Listen up. The meet's been pushed till tomorrow. This is the closest Motel with the most vacancies and least amount of good judgement when it comes to accepting a bunch of degenerates like yourself.", Coach explained the situation.

"You'll be pairing up. Choose wisely." Coach was handing out the keys.

"And I'll have no sexual perversions perpetrated by you little deviants. Got that? Keep your dirty little hands to your dirty little selves!", Coach made clear.

Elaine stood next to Lydia, continuing to inspect the Motel.

"Lydia? Elaine?", Allison asked, when she noticed the two weren't following her.

"I don't like this place.", Lydia answered.

"You're not the only one.", Elaine agreed.

"I don't think the people who own this place like this place. It's just for a night.", Allison tried to reassure the two girls.

"A lot can happen in one night.", Elaine said, knowing out of experience.

Somehow Elaine had ended up with a room all to herself. She wasn't pleased with that. Neither were Lydia and Allison. They told her to take a quick shower in her room, but then come to their room and spend the night there and not all alone.

While in the shower Elaine couldn't stop the thoughts that began running in her head again. Though normally a shower would help Elaine order the thoughts in her head, this time it did not.
