The next morning everyone was gathered around the dining room table, Ashley and Tyler had woken up before everyone else and prepared pancakes and coffee for everyone.
"Good morning," Tyler greeted his sister who came downstairs last.
"What's so good about it?" she snapped.
"Damn what's gotten your panties in a twist?" he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Save it Tyler, I know you were trying to scare me last night," Hailey said sipping her coffee.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes.
"I was with Tyler last night, we spoke till the early morning so it couldn't have been him" Ashley butted in. Hailey decided to ignore Ashley's comment. Of course she would be defending her dear best friend.
Needless to say, the atmosphere was very tense that day, considering the fact she couldn't get any sleep last night, Hailey did not join the barbecue outside, instead she walked back into her room.
A few hours passed by and Tyler decided to check on his sister.
"Hey, you good?" he asked as Hailey was putting on some make up.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm sorry for snapping at you during breakfast" she said.
"It's alright, we all make mistakes"
She stood up before engulfing her brother with a hug.
"What are the others doing?" she asked.
"They're tanning by the lake, wanna walk around?"
"Sure" she said as they both explored the beautiful nature around them.

Everyone decided to cook together a special meal at night, since tomorrow they'll be returning home in the early morning.
"Hey Ty you've got a little something on your nose" Hailey said.
"Really?" he asked before she dipped her finger in the barbecue sauce and wiped it on Tyler.
"You are so dead!" Tyler laughed chasing his sister around the kitchen.
"GET HER TY!" Cara yelled as Seth chuckled.
"You guys stop acting like kids, help me with the food," Ashley muttered but no one listened. Tyler finally caught Hailey before threatening to start a wrestling match with her.
"Jesus Ty! You need to stop watching wwe!" Hailey laughed.
"Never!"
"I don't feel well" Ashley spoke gaining everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?" Tyler asked concerned.
"I'm just gonna go to sleep," she said walking upstairs. Tyler immediately followed her.
"Hey ash, you sure you don't need anything?" he asked walking into her room.
"Yes, it's just a headache," she said taking off her shirt.
"Wow! Tyler said turning around.
"It's just a bra," Ashley rolled her eyes before changing into her pajamas.
"Well if you don't need anything I'm gonna head out," he said before wishing her a good night.
She jumped in her bed before attempting to fall asleep, her head was already throbbing from the migraine. As she laid in bed engulfed by the darkness in the room, she felt her phone buzz next to her. She huffed before she lazily picked it up .
If you want to see your friend Cara alive meet me by the lake. She read the text message over and over again. What scared her even more was that the sender had a private number.
