HYACINTH

chapter 5

Some friends?

"So, what are we going to do... go back home?" Kreois started whining.

"Then what are we going to do huh...? camp here!" Asher replied full of sarcasm.

Turns out that the cruise they rented broke down in the middle of the ocean on its way to come pick them up. Yes, they have their own private safari and all but this time they wanted to feel like normal people for now. Not rich CEO's. just normal people. They don't do around drag their money and fame on other people's face. They really know how others will feel. They have been through it all. Those nights where everyone over things about their future. How they shared one small apartment when they were just teenagers. That apartment felt like a small, cramped cage where the seven birds constantly try to get out. The days they have to either choose to eat or paying for transportation to go to their jobs. All of them worked for each other. Just like blood related brothers...which neither of them is.

"Just stop... we can always rent a small boat here and reach the island." Zeke said still holding his pillow.

"And who here knows how to drive?" Dylan asked not fond of the idea Zeke gave.

"I'm sure bro can" Armin suddenly shouted pointing at Cyrus.

Cyrus looked at him with 'do I look like I know how to drive a boat' look.

"Here they go again" Lavinia murmured as she looked around the place.

The boys are arguing each other blaming one another for absolutely nothing. Not giving any second thoughts on where they are or about their image as CEO's. shaking her head, she wandered a little bit further from them looking around for some help or something. The port looks dead. No life was seen in the ragging sun. just some seagulls flying by and some wild dogs running here and there. Some random leaves carried by the wind from the trees two blocks away. Sighing, she looked over the ocean. A cool fresh breeze hitting your face as it blew your hair, giving you some kind of coolness in the almost middle noon. Although its burning hot... it was peaceful.

"Lavinia lets go..." Kreois called you making her look at them in confusion.

"The boat is here... we will explain later now come... or we won't reach till sunset." He adds as he noticed the confusion in her face.

Shrugging she went with group heading south. A lot of questions popping up in her mind. Deciding she will ask those later, she looked at Dylan who was Infront of her talking to Cyrus. Something deep inside her said that he did this. He did not let all our hopes go down. Like a sweet, charming person he is, he never ever makes nor wants a person close to him or not be sad. He will do anything on his power to make that person's day. and she knows that he did this too. Cause he knows her well. he was a sibling she could never asked for.

Admiring the huge and small boats, cruise ships and yachts, they have come to a stop at the far south side of the port. There wasn't many but only two boats. A slightly bigger one and a smaller one. Both is in same shape. Usable but not idle to. Some patches here and there. A line for hanging cloths. A small cabin and a retractable shade roof.

"We are going in that!!" Kreois said completely in shock.

"what's wrong with it? a place to sit and keep our things, a shade spot which you can enjoy fresh air from the sea... and besides she is looking pretty much normal to me..." Dylan commented admiring the boat. "A normal boat for normal people. Right."

"But still-"

"Bro, look it has a mini fridge also." Luke shouted from the boat.

"When did you get there!!"
