The Distance

page 16, Chapter 3:The Big Day

The next day, I heard the birds chirping, Chloe was still on her couch and Taylor was still sleeping on the other bed. The boys were up and raided our rooms, telling us to rise because it's a big day. Honestly, how can they be calm about all this? Are they not terrified? We are about to raid an Army base, how can they be excited about it like nothing is happening? Are they just a bunch of hot-dog minded people? Either way they are still my best friends, I can't be doing them like this, but as I say in my motto:"The best kind of friendships is when your straightforward and assholes to each other in a joking manner."

I had always stuck by this saying for years to come, it gains you a lot of wisdom and knowledge. Regardless, we all care about each other and that's all that matters. Mainly we can be your every day typical idiots to each other, but later on we still express our love for one another. It's the best kind of friendship and bond you could ever build with people, or someone. As we entered into the hotel lobby, there was a mouth watering breakfast waiting for us: Biscuits, bacon, donuts, toast, fruits, eggs, and drinks. All you could imagine, as we all served ourselves and proceeded to dig in. It was very satisfying, we even took some of the food as we went on our way.

We waved our goodbyes to the nice lady at the counter, and walked out carrying some extra grub with us for the long drive ahead. We had about 3 hours left before we got to this base. And in all honesty I'm trembling with desire and fear to get this over with, wash it away like it never happened.
But it's happening and we already made it this far, not much more we can do about it now. There is no turning back, as Bill took the wheel and we all got in the car, I shook off the thoughts beginning in my mind.

Page 19:
I began to pour my soul out on my personal notebook of feelings. It was what usually had me going since I was a kid, I remember my mother giving it to me at the age of 10. Here I am 8 years later still using it at the age of 18, it sounds like kids stuff, but I rather be a child and let out my emotions rather than allowing them to get the best of me. I am probably that one individual in this group that does not share what she feels with anyone. Though in the end I may have to start doing it soon, because I have a feeling that I may not have much time left in this world. It's a sad truth that I know should not be expressed. But eventually it's going to happen.

Life is too short to be thinking in a negative mind-set all the time, meanwhile I can see Taylor is overwhelmed by the entire situation at hand. I can tell what she's thinking but I can also see this is very hard on her. She knows she's doing it for a good cause and if she dies trying, she knew she'd done her best and can't do much with what will rise next. Meanwhile I sit here like a dumb-ass wondering why I planned this raid myself based off a dream I had. 2 hours into the car ride and that's all I could think about.

My thoughts began to slowly drift away as we pulled up near Okinawa, the base was about an hour away but we were all starving after that long car ride. So we stopped by at an interesting diner and ordered meals before we begin our scheme. We start eating like a pack of wild dogs on a hot summer's day. People staring at us with repulsed faces as we were acting like we've never had food before. I didn't pay too much attention to them, because news flash, what if I dislike you in general and just rather spite you, than insult you? Sounds a lot more pleasant to me.

After we finished, we made the job easy on our waiter, and stacked the plates for him. And left the table clean, people staring at us clueless as if they've never witnessed humans being respectful to another person. It's not something you see every day, but that's how we are. We dislike people having a difficult time, so we help them with this lovely word called manners. The right thing to do even when someone can be a prick to you. I can have both respect and a very rude personality. It depends on my mood or state of mind.

As long as you dont leave my happy side you'll be just fine. Do that and expect me to rain on you like an army of sharks. You wouldn't last a day dealing with me. My friends never ceased to release my horrifying side yet. But the day someone does they better hope and pray to God for mercy. Because it wont end pretty for them. It's in my genes to be a complicated asshole, I dont know if any man can withstand my horrible attitude. Ever since that day... I could never get over how someone can be so wicked, so evil. But I wont get into this matter for a while. It is best to keep it all to myself until I'm ready to open up.

When we finally finished and tipped the waiter, we headed off... it was almost time for the  biggest challenge we would all have to face in our lives, we have come this far and there is no turning back now. My hands shake, my heart races like a sports car. I'm so nervous about this.. and I can't put my head on it, but something also feels right about this plan. Somehow I have no regret, it's as if it all had unattached from my mind. I had no consideration for what was about to happen as we pulled up, and looked at the entrance, not even bothering to look at the signs, we snuck in stealthy as we could.

I was so full of fear at this time, Michael shrugging, while Bill, Taylor and Chloe looked at each other indicating that it's time, as I led the way...
