I know I take forever to update. You see I had this whole chapter written out but I just didn't feel that it was the time for what I had written so I rewrote it. Then my rewritten just was pointless so I rewrote this again and since I didn't get to finish it I'm updating half of it now so you guys don't have to wait any longer. I'll update the other half soon. I hope you guys enjoy this half it's sort of an introduction to an interesting part that will be in the second part.

My alarm clock went of at 7:30am. I groaned as I turned it off. I didn't like getting up early especial when I went to bed at 3am. It was the last week of June Khrystal and I were going to Williamsburg Virginia for a few days. I slowly got out of bed dragging my feet my eyes were half closed. Walking to the bathroom I ran into someone I looked up to see Tate looking down at me. "Morning Erin, you should watch where you’re going." He said stepping into the bathroom closing the door right in front of my face. I walked down stairs to the kitchen.

Khrystal was in the kitchen eating some cereal. "Aren't you supposed to be taking a shower?" She asked I went to the coffee pot. “Yeah but Tate's in there." I stated pouring myself some coffee. "I'm surprised you’re not pounding on the door trying to kick him out." Khrystal said I took a sip of my coffee making sure it tasted good. "I don't feel like wasting my time on trying to get your brother out of the bathroom." I said.

Tate took his sweet time in the bathroom I should have expected him to. So I sat right in front of the bathroom waiting for Tate to get out. I knocked a few times. Tate wasn't even responding. I decide to give the door two nice pounds. This hurt my hand. The door swung open Tate stood there his hair was dripping wet and he was wearing a towel around his waist. "You’re going to end up hurting yourself if that’s how you knock on a door." Tate said. "Well you've been in there for the past 50 minutes most people would think your dead. What have you been doing in there?" I asked I wasn't sure if I wanted an answer.

Tate Held up a book "I've been reading." He said. I burst into laughter. "Do you really expect me to believe that?" I laughed Tate gave me a dirty look. "The bathroom is yours." He said moving out of the bathroom to his room.

After I was all ready I walked downstairs with my bag in my hand. Tate stopped me at the bottom of the stairs. "Are you driving or I'm I?" He asked I was glad to see him full dressed. "You can drive." I said.

"Are we taking my car or yours?" He asked

"My car needs an oil change."

"Really?"

"Yes, I haven't been able to change it."

"What do you not know how to change your oil." He asked I passed him on the stairs. "I can change my oil I just haven't got to it yet." I said Tate was following me as I went to the living room. "Do you want me to change it for you?" He asked. I turned to see Tate right in front of me. "Sure...Are you going to do something to my car?" I said he shook his. "Why would I do something to your car if I'm going to be in it?" He asked I shrugged. "I have the things you need in the passengers seat." I said he nodded I looked at the clock. "How long are you going to take?" I asked as he walked towards the door. "Less then an hour." He said .Nap time I thought.

"Erin wake up." Khrystal said shaking me awake. "Ugh...Go away." I said. She pulled my hand. I rubbed my eyes. "You can sleep in  the car now get up." She stated. I sat up. "Your bag is in the car now come on let's go." She said I followed her outside. I sat in the passenger seat. I snuggled myself up in the seat going back to sleep.

I woke up to the air conditioner in my face. I turned off the air conditioner. Tate turned it back on. I turned it back off. We did this about five times before Khrystal said. “Enough." Tate turned on the radio to the country station. I was ready to suffocate him. I turned the radio off. "No country." I said his hand moved towards the radio. I was ready to swat it away. He turned it on but flipped to a different station. Tate put the rock station which was playing a song by the band Lit. I snuggled myself back into a comfortable position going back to sleep.

 "Waky waky eggs and bacon." Tate said poking me in the shoulder. I swatted his hand away. "Erin get up were going to eat with out you." He said. Some how the thought of food made me automatically get up. I opened my eyes to see that we were in front of Denny's.

 We sat in a booth I sat right next to Khrystal and we sat across from Tate. "I'm going to the bathroom." Khrystal said. I was still tired I put my head down on the table. I took my phone out of my pocket checking the time. My phone read 12:47pm. "How much longer do we have?" I asked looking up at Tate. "Umm...about 5 hours maybe some traffic so maybe 6." Tate answered.

We were back on the road at 1:30pm. I stayed up the rest of the ride, we did hit traffic around three which took about an hour to get through. We weren't in Williamsburg till seven and we didn't reach the hotel room till seven-thirty. We got dinner at the restaurant by the hotel. When we got back from dinner I went directly to bed considering we were going to Busch Gardens tomorrow.

----------------------------------------

I woke up to my phone alarm. I put it on snooze. Five minutes later it went off again. "Ugh." I moaned shutting it off. I was the first in the bathroom. I got up to realize someone was already in the bathroom. I walked to the bathroom to see Khrystal was in there and by the sounds of it did not sound good. I knocked on the door. "Khrystal you okay?" I asked. I heard the toilet flush. “No." Khrystal answered. I glanced over to see Tate was waking up. "What’s going on?” He asked. He stretched with a big yawn. "Khrystal's sick." I answered.

"Is she dying?" He asked I knocked on the door again. "Khrystal are you dying?" I asked. Khrystal came out of the she looked bad she was pale. "What kind of stupid question is that?" Khrystal asked walking to the bed. "I don't know ask Tate." I said. Khrystal laid down belly side. Letting out a big sigh. "Khrystal what’s wrong?" Tate asked.

"I think I have food poisoning." Khrystal stated. Tate was getting out of bed now. "How bad is it?" Tate asked.

"On a scale of one to ten I'm at a twelve right now." She said.

"I'm going to run to the store, I saw a supercenter wal-mart near by. What kind of Gatorade do u want?" He asked

"Red or blue I don't care." She said.

"Erin are you coming with me?" Tate asked. "Yup." I answered.

-------------------

For seven twenty in the morning wal-mart was decently full with adults and elderly citizens. I started regretting not changing out of my pajamas when everyone was starring at me. I was wearing fleece like booty shorts and a spaghetti strap with a sweater on top. On the other hand Tate was wearing his pajama pants with a white t-shirt. I followed him to the beverage aisle. He searched up and down the aisle. “Do you see any Gatorade?" He asked. I looked to the right were Tate had over looked. "There." I said pointing to the section of Gatorade he clearly missed.

We were checking outbI grabbed a chocolate putting it on top of the red Gatorade. Tate looked down at me. "You don't expect me to pay for that do you?" He asked giving me the I-Don't-Think-So-Look. “I’d appreciate it." I said giving him a big smile. He let out a sigh. "Fine then." He said

On our way back to the hotel room me and Tate had decided we wouldn’t go to Busch Gardens. When we arrived back at the hotel room Khrystal still looked dead on the bed.

--------------------------------------------------

We told Khrystal that we weren't going to Busch Gardens anymore. Khrystal argued with us for five minutes. Some how she won. Me and Tate got ready and were out the door. I wasn't very thrilled to go to Busch Gardens with Tate but I really didn't have a choice I didn't want to be stuck in a hotel room with Khrystal who was barfing her guts out.
