Behind Their Smiles

Chapter 7

I couldn't let something like this get in the way of our big week. I would just let her be until we settled in at our cabin in Utah, then we could settle things out there. And by settle out, I don't mean fight each other until one of us is dead. I mean talk it through. I'd honestly rather kill someone I didn't know rather than someone I did know. I know I sound like a monster. I mean, what sick person wantrs to go take the life of someone else? I can't think of myself that way though. I am just doing it as a teenager. You know, teenagers are wild and crazy, just think of this as a wild thing. I mean it's obviously way beyond wild, but lets just think of it that way. I felt my phone vibrate. It was from Molly. 

So, what's going on? Are you using me? Or am I really your friend? 

I had to think about this. Had I been using her to make myself feel better about Mackenzie? Or was I really friends with her?

Um, I really don't know, to be honest. I texted back to her. 

So, basically, if we really were friends, you would have said of course you're really my friend! Shows I've been fooled. I'll tell Jase to call me a cab whenever we get to the hotel. Thanks for the fun times that never meant anything to you. 

Wow. That text was deep. Why would she say something like that? I had made her life like 100 times better. And she treats me like this? I know that just sounded really selfish. But I really didn't know if I had used her to help myself get over Mackenzie. I probably did in the beginning, but over the months, it grew into something more than just a girl trying to get another girl to feel better about her best friends loss. I eventually started telling her everything. And I couldn't let this be the ending. 

Hey, I should've probably told you this before, but I used you in the beginning to help myself get over Mackenzie. Then eventually, it all turned into a big friendship that I never knew would come this far. I'm really sorry. 

She texted back almost instantly. 

You couldn't have just told me that to start? I wasn't going to leave. Why would I ever leave my best friend in Utah with two other boys to commit a crime that I've always wanted to commit? I'm sorry too. For being such a stuck up brat. I should've been easier about it. I should've known that you wouldn't have used me for this long. 

Wow. She had apologized. She usually never apologizes.

Thanks, virtual hug? 

Yeah. She replied back. 

I was so glad that we had made up. I wouldn't have anyone to defend me if we got questioned. Not to sound all selfish, but she was really good at lying and making up alibis. I loved and appreciated Molly and for everything she had ever done for me. And now that I think about it, it would have been awkward just me, Jase, and Adam in the cabin. If my mom would have found out about me staying in a cabin with two other boys, man wouldn't I be in for it. But I am not gonna try to be a bad influence, therefore, I shall not do that. I fell asleep just moments after Molly and I had made up. I had a mixture of thoughts and dreams in my head all at once. It was weird because I didn't really know what was happening, what was real and what wasn't. But one thing I did know, that I was on my way to kill someone. 

"Wake up! Were here!" I heard a tired voice mumble out. 

"Already?" I asked.

"Yeah, we slept forever. I'm surprised you even got to sleep. All I heard was those two idiots talking the whole time." Molly yawned. 

"Oh be quiet, we barely even talked." Jase said. 

"Okay, whatever." Molly said.

I hopped out of the car. 

"Wait here. I have to go make sure our room is ready and everything." Jase said. 

"And I can't come because...." I said. 

"Well. I uh, I guess you can come in." He said. 

We walked in and the doors were automatic. I absolutely hated automatic doors. The reason being is because what if one day you were acting a little too glamourous and you expected the doors to just automatically open but they don't and you hit your nose and collapse. Now that wouldn't be too fun, now would it? I know you're probably thinking, she's over exaggerating. Well I'm not. Because it happened to me as a kid. I thought I was the biggest thing in the world back when I was little and I had huge sunglasses on and a boa and I was like, "I am royalty." And thought that the door would open for me. I guess I thought wrong, because I ran straight into the door and fell. But it was an atomatic door, so that's what I didn't understand. 

"Winchester." I heard Jase say to the lady at the desk. 

The lady looked like she was in her late thirties-early forties. She had short, brown hair sort of in a bob form. She wore a black knee skirt like the skirts the flight attendants wear on the planes. She wore a wight button up shirt tucked into her skirt with a black jacket over it. The black jacket folded up so it showed part of her white shirt, but not all of it.

"Your room is ready, you'll be staying in room 412." The lady said.

 "Thanks." Jase said.

We got a cart and rolled it out to put all of our stuff onto. I had a million things. I know it might not seem like I need that much, but you'd be surprised. If we were gonna go out, I was gonna need makeup, my straightener, my blow-dryer, and other stuff. I actually didn't bring the most stuff, Adam did. You would think he was more of a girl than I was. He brought a bunch of clothes, hair gel, razor ( don't know why he brought that, he barely has any hair on his face), flashlight, black clothes, etc. It was weird for a boy to have more things than a girl on a trip. We put our stuff on the cart and went to the elevator. I am not sure, but when we went through the lobby, it looked like a homeless man was sitting on a chair drinking coffee. I don't know if that was technically legal for a homeless person to go to take food and other stuff from the hotel. Oh well, it wasn't my problem. We pushed the button to go up, and it just took a matter of seconds before the left door opened and let us in. We pressed the button with the number 4 on there and we went up. I wasn't a big fan of elevators either, but I guess it was too late now. We got to the fourth floor and went to our room. There was one king sized bed and a pull out couch. Adam and Jase would obviously sleep on the pull out couch. We were girls, we had a higher level of class. We put our stuff down and ordered Chinese food to the room. It took about 30 minutes for it to get there, thank god. We were all starving and wanted to go to sleep early to because we had a long day ahead of us. We went to sleep at approximately 10:09 P.M. (yes I looked at the clock). 

 It didn't take long for the morning to come. I didn't realize that we'd be getting up so early either. It was 6:38 when we woke up and packed our things. We checked out of the hotel and packed up the car again. We were back on our way... It was hard to believe we were already half way there! Who knows what we would encounter on the way? It was really weird that we were all doing this. By this I mean taking a road trip to kill someone. Never thought I'd say or think that.

"You guys ready? Tonights the big night!" Molly said. 

"Yep! It's gonna be epic!" Jase said.
