That One Night

Chapter 1



It's 3:00 in the morning and I'm still unable to sleep. I don't know if it's nerves for the big day tomorrow or that I'm scared of what's to happen afterwards in starting a new life. No matter how dark that the room is or how tightly I close my eyes, I still can't seem to sleep. I'm so tired that I can't seem to sleep.

I stare at the ceiling for what seems to be ages. I check my phone once again and place it back on the side table. It's now only 3:30am. I toss and turn until I feel the slightest bit of over tiredness coming along. I close my eyes one last time, and success. I wake up at 6:50 that morning. Not much sleep but I can't and won't fall asleep through probaly one of the biggest days of my life.

Mum and my little sister Grace come crashing into my room at around 7am. I don't even think that they would have cared the slightest bit if I was still asleep or not. Grace jumps onto my bed while mum just stands there next to my bed.

I sit up in my bed with my messed up hair, but to be honest I didn't really care. I'm finally 19, I'm practically an adult. That means more freedom.

Hopefully.

I get out of bed and decide to have a hot shower. I get changed into a new outfit that I only got a few days ago.

When I walk downstairs to the kitchen, mum is standing over the stove cooking, and Grace is sitting on one of the stools at the counter. I decide to sit opposite of her and try and completely wake up. Both mum and Grace seem more excited about my birthday than I actually am.

I finish the special breakfast that mum slaved over to cook for me. I'm more awake now than I was before and now I'm beggining to feel the excitment. I have no clue what's going to happen after breakfast but I just really hope that it's going to be a great day.

Grace has now finally finished her cereal and cleans up. Mum and Grace approach me and I can see that Grace has something behind her back. I'm starting to become really nervous.

What is it?

"What are you doing?' I practically yell while mum begins to put a blindfold on over my head.

They lead me somewhere and I'm scared that they're gonna make me fall over or even throw me into the pool. They open a door and lead me down a numerous amount of steps.

"Where are you taking me?" I am now really scared.

Grace is laughing while they still lead me to wherever the destination is that they're taking me. Finally we stop and they begin to untie my blindfold. I blink so much until my eyes adjust to the brightness of the outside light.

I can finally see again and I can now see the reason why they actually brought me out here. My jaw drops and I can feel some tears coming along.
