Dead Inside 2 ~ Alive again

"Don't forget to wear suncream, and call me if you can, oh, and don't forget to wear a hat and eat right. Do you have enough money? And do you have warm clothes, just in case it get cold?" Ma was ranting.

"I'll be fine ma, and it's July and we'll be in the mediterranean sea, I doubt it'll get too cold," I reply.

Ma hugs me, "I can't believe you'll be spending your 18th birthday away. I hope you have fun and we'll do something nice when you get back, ok?"

"Ok, ma." I hug her back then get out of the car. I grab my suitcase out of the boot, "I love you!"

I wave to my mum as I walk up to the airport and she drives off. When I get into the airport, I immediately see Virgil and Logan stood in a corner with a bag each. I wave and walk up to them with my suitcase trailing behind me.

"Hi!" I say and Logan smiles at me and Virgil waves.

"Hey," Logan says giving me a hug.

"Where's Roman?" I ask.

"Good question." Logan rolls his eyes.

"Probably being fashionably late again." Virgil shrugs. I still can't believe he's here. It's been a few months since the accident but it's unbelievable. The wound was really deep and there was basically a hole.

"Are you guys excited?" I grin, hopping from foot to foot.

"Yeah. It'll be nice to get away for a week, just the four of us." Virgil nods.

"Yeah," Logan agrees. We stand and chat about the holiday and what we want to do first for 10 minutes, until Roman turns up.

"Hello!" He says coming up next to us.

"You know you're 10 minutes late, right?" Logan frowns looking at his watch.

"Yeah, Lisa stole my phone charger and I had to actually fight her to get it back." He rubs his arm awkwardly, "She's surprisingly strong."

"Awe, did you get beaten up by your 15 year old sister?" Virgil asks, using the voice people tend to use while talking to babies.

"Shut up!" Roman says pushing a grinning Virgil lightly.

"Is that sexist?" I frown.

"No, I wasn't saying that because Lisa's a girl. I was saying it because Roman's a 6 foot, well-built 18 year old, and Lisa is a 5 foot 5, slim 15 year old," Virgil raises an eyebrow at Roman.

"Remind me why we're dating?" Roman scowls at Virgil.

"Because I'm your soulmate and there's no escaping me now," Virgil smirks. Roman shakes his head and hugs Virgil into his side.

"We should get going," Logan says, tapping his foot. We join a queue and start our long journey to Menorca.

"God, I'm so tired," Roman yawns as we enter the house we're staying in for our holiday. It was a small bungalow and the cheapest one we could afford but it had good reviews and a pool.

"Lets get to sleep then. We can in pack in the morning." I rub my eyes.

"Yeah, the time difference is fu-screwing up my sleep schedule." Logan stretches, I do notice him stopping himself from wearing but I am too tired to care.

"I'm fine," Virgil shrugs looking at us.

"We'll take this room," Roman mumbles as he and Virgil walk into the room on the left.

"Good night," I mumble and they mumble it back as Logan and I go into our room. There were two single beds and a night stand in between the two. I climb into he bed nearest the window and let sleep take me.
