Unexpected

14: Disney World

Matt

I was in Shannon's closet for about three hours and I really needed to use the restroom. I was really close to just peeing in Shannon's closet when Nicholas entered the room.

"What do you say Goose? Want to go to the park?" he asked his dog.

I scoffed. Who names their dog after another animal? As if the dog sensed my judgment it began growling towards the closet catching Nick's eye.

"What's the matter Goose?" he asked eyeing the closet now. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Right before he was going to open the closet his phone started ringing. 

"Hello? Yea I just got here. How's Disney? Yea I know. Mhm. Yea. Ok. Don't forget to get me something before you guys leave alright?" he chuckled before saying goodbye.

"Hear that Goose? Aunty Shan is also bringing you something from Disney World," he said clipping the dog's leash on his collar. "Now let's go before it gets too cold," he said starting to walk but the dog just stayed, as if staring me down through the closet. "Goose, come on," and Nick pulled on his leash again. This time making Goose move. Phew.

I finally stretched and ran to the bathroom when I heard the door close. Once I finished I ran out the door making sure it was locked and ran towards the stairwell. I couldn't be seen here. Not by Nicholas.

"Shan, come on what are you doing?" I asked when she pushed me into a random store.

"I thought I saw some creep following us," she said looking out the window. I rolled my eyes. 

"Come on, for the past two days you and Bryan have been on edge and nothing's happened. I think they got enough pictures," I said trying to convince her that the coast was clear. After that incident, the whole day went according to plan. We almost went to all the rides but they closed at 12.

"My feet are killing me!" whined Bryan who was in the middle with an arm around our shoulders. We were practically hauling him towards our hotel.

"Bryan! I swear if you don't start walking I'll drop you!" I threatened.

"Bryan! Seriously! You're too heavy for us," whined Shan.

"You guys are just weak," he said finally walking on his own.

"Oh thank God," we both said once he started walking on his own making him flip us off.

When we reached our hotel I was finally able to charge my phone, which was bombarded with messages from Chris... I immediately called him worried that something happened.

"Hello?" answered a woman.

"Hello, is uh Chris there?" I asked taken aback.

"Yes, who's this?" she asked clicking her tongue making my blood boil.

"His girlfriend," I answered getting my friends' attention when they heard my tone. I could hear in the background the woman laughing while Chris rambled something I couldn't decipher.

"Hello? Mel?" he asked

"Don't tell me...that was your sister," I said when it finally dawned on me.

"Yea...Shanna...I'm really sorry-"

"Oh my God, no, you don't have to apologize! I should apologize! Please put her on the line..."

"Well, Mel...you're kinda on speaker..." I wanted the earth to open and swallow me.

"Don't worry kid. I like that you got some fight in ya," she said laughing.
