It Started On A Cruise

Day Four (part one of three)

Yesterday was great. I kept smiling while I was with her. We laughed and joked around a lot; I even spent the night in her cabin, which was a lot nicer than mine. I went back to my room about an hour ago, but I didn't stay there for long. As I was about to leave, Carlie said a few soft words: "Hey. You need to stay. Lu didn't do anything wrong. It was me. She just messed with me. I'm sorry cou-" I slammed the door on her, after grabbing my things out of there. I didn't want to hear it, any of it, any of what she had to say. 

I had to make another stop before going back to West's cabin; I had to see Damian and Allison. I knocked on the door softly, then Allie came to the door. She opened the door and wrapped me in a tight hug. 

"DAMIAN!" she screamed. "GET UP! ASH IS HERE!"

"wha-?" he had obviously just woken up. He stumbled to the door, also wrapping me in a hug.

I entered the cabin, smiling softly. I could tell they really missed me, because the cup I gave D was up on the cabinet, not being used. They could tell I noticed it, and they rushed over to give me another hug. I felt in my pocket to try to find my phone, but it wasn't there. 

"Hey guys, have y'all seen my phone? I haven't seen it since I passed out on the deck a couple days ago."

"We haven't seen it either," they responded in sync.

"Hmm. That's weird," I added quite confused.

"Actually.. my phone is gone too?" Allie said, after going through her bag.

"Let me check too," D said before going through his bag. "HEY MINE IS GONE TOO!" he screamed.

"Where are our phones?!" I shouted.

Throughout the halls, I could hear other people having the same reaction. 

"We have to do something," Allison said.

"We have to do something," Damian repeated.

All of our phones are missing.  I thought to myself. Someone has to be up to something, and I'm gonna figure out who it is and what they're doing.
