“You went on a date with the tour guide? What a scandal” Harry said, stuffing his mouth with more fries. We were sitting outside a small restaurant since Harry said he was hungry and nobody else was awake and he begged me to go with him to the restaurant since our parents had warned us to be extra careful so we couldn’t go out by ourselves.
“”Yeah I did but don’t tell Mikael, Junior or Jhonny” I warned him, taking a sip of my water.
“Why?” he asked with his mouth full. I cringed and diverted my attention to the small circular table so I wouldn’t have to look at his mouth full of fries.
“Because me and Jhonny had a bet involving me falling and love and why do you think I don’t want to tell my brothers?” I asked, cocking one eyebrow. He nodded in understanding and we sat and chatted for a while until somebody caught my eye. A guy who looked as if he was in his mid -fifties was staring at us. He had brown eyes which were full of hatred and grey hair. He resembled my uncle and my mother slightly but I ignored the resemblance. We made eye contact and he mouthed something to me but I can’t read lips so I didn’t understand.
He was sitting with another guy. He was in his twenties that much was obvious but he looked familiar. The guy rolled his sleeve up and I saw a light scar on his arm and my heart rate accelerated.
“Harry” I whispered. He looked up at me and looked alarmed. My facial expression was probably full of fear.
“You okay Shawna?” he asked.
“That’s him” I said in a shaky voice. Harry turned to where I was pointing and he understood immediately. He held his hand out and took my hand and squeezed it. He stood up and we walked away from the restaurant. Harry didn’t let go of my hand until we were far away from the restaurant. When we were, he let of my hand and went in his pocket and pulled out his phone.
“I need to tell our parents” he said, dialling a few numbers into the phone with shaky fingers.
I put my hand over his and took the phone.
“No. They’ll worry too much. Please don’t tell them” my voice came out in a whisper. Harry glared at the stony pathway we were standing on for what seemed like forever until he nodded. I smiled at him and he smiled at me weakly.
“You have to tell Jhonny though” he said narrowing his eyes at me.
“Why?” I asked, looking at him suspiciously.
“Because he’s your best friend. Duh” he said, he seemed to be regaining his playful attitude.
“Don’t tell Jade” I warned him. He sighed and nodded.
“C’mon we have to go back” he said, trying to read the map.
“This should take a while” I said with a sigh as I grabbed the map from his hands. He chuckled and punched my shoulder playfully.
“You’re sure it was him?” Jhonny asked, looking tense. I nodded and took a seat next to him. We were sitting on a bench on the hotel’s golf course watching my father and my uncle attempt to play but so far neither of them seemed to know what they were doing.
“I’m positive. He had the same scar on his hand” I said, gesturing to my hand. A frown formed on Jhonny’s face and he turned to face me directly.
“Do you think this has any connection with what happened to your parents?” he asked, looking directly into my eyes. I shrugged and looked down at my life, not being able to hold his gaze. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on his shoulder.
“Skinny love!” I jumped and turned around and saw Jade standing there smirking at us.
“What’s skinny love?” I asked, completely confused.
“Nothing” she said, smirking at me and Jhonny as she took a seat next to me on the bench.
“How long were you standing there?” Jhonny asked her, sounding embarrassed. When I looked at him he was blushing for some reason.
“Long enough” she said, giving me a smirk.
“You’re acting weird” I said, narrowing my eyes at her.
“She always acts weird” Jhonny put in.
“I know, I mean weirder than usual. What did Harry do?” I teased, giving her a smirk of my own.
At least she was being quiet now.

Come on skinny love just last the year,
Pour a little salt you were never here,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.
I tell my love to wreck it all,
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Right in the moment this order's tall.
And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And in the morning I'll be with you,
But it will be a different kind,
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets,
And you'll be owning all the fines.
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres,
My my my, my my my, my-my my-my...
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split.
And I told you to be patient,
And I told you to be fine,
And I told you to be balanced,
And I told you to be kind,
And now all your love is wasted,
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges,
And at the end of all your lies.
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
A huge grin took over my face when I finished singing. I was sitting cross -legged on the bed in the hotel room. Jade, Raine and Minzy had gone to the cinema but I hadn’t been interested in going with them so I stayed here.
I spent most of my day thinking about the guy I saw in the restaurant. I was feeling anxious , as if he would appear out of nowhere at any moment.
I sighed and set my guitar aside and lay down on the bed.
What if he had seen me there and he realized it was me? What would happen then?
It didn’t take long for sleep to overtake me after a while of too much thinking.
Sorry if it kinda sucked
It’s honestly just a filler
