Our Last Summer

Chapter 04: Getting Wasted

(Madelyn's POV)

I woke up from my nap, feeling groggy. I hated taking naps, but this one was needed. My eyes felt heavy and I pulled myself out of bed.

"Good morning!" Caroline's suddenly loud voice boomed as she burst through my door. I glared at her before throwing my pillow at her. She caught it and threw it back at me. "Get up and get changed into a bathing suit. And hurry, the boys aren't up yet." She walked out of the room, and I did get out of bed.

I don't know why she changed her mind all of a sudden. An hour ago, she was just as worried as I was. Maybe the nap changed her into a new person. I changed into my orange bikini and put on a pair of shorts and a see-through mesh shirt. I fixed myself up before I joined the two girls in the kitchen. Normally, I wouldn't be so quick to get up unless it's the morning and I get to work out. But since the boys aren't up, I took that opportunity to be with the girls by ourselves.

"Okay, now that we're alone, what are we going to do about this situation? I mean, how do they know our parents?" Danielle asked, sitting down on the barstool. I knew it was annoying to talk about, but clearly, the boys are going to have fun with this. I scratched the back of my head while we thought.

Caroline placed her camera on the counter and palms on either side of it and sighed, shaking her head. I watched both of them. No one knew what to do. To make it worse, we couldn't contact anyone.

"This is just weird. He was talking to you like he knew you." Caroline said, mentioning the gym reference.

None of us understood the situation. All we knew was that they were trapped on some random island. Yes, it came with perks like free drinks and parties, but that didn't make it better. You can't be showered with gifts to persuade someone this was okay.

"Maybe we should go back to the airport and figure out a way for them to take us either home or to Paradise Island," I suggested.

"I get this is weird and honestly, a little scary. But we're on an island, which is where we would've been anyway. And everything is free. Maybe if we keep our heads down, we can have the summer we've been waiting for." Danielle suggested.

Caroline and I looked over at her in shock. I've never seen Danielle be so okay with a situation like this. Maybe she was finally ready to have fun. This was wild and completely out of our comfort zones.

"I mean, we're adults now. We have to deal with situations like this. Besides, we'll have service in about a week and we can tell our parents what's going on." She explained. I smiled as I looked over at Caroline, sitting up straighter in shock.

"Woah, a new Danielle. This is great!" Caroline said, making the three of us laugh.

"Do you guys hear that?" I asked. The two girls looked around and listened to the silence.

"No," Caroline said. I looked back at the girls and grinned.

"Exactly. The boys are still sleeping." We all laughed.

"We should go wake them up," Caroline suggested.

"Ugh, let them sleep for a little while longer." Danielle groaned, making us laugh.

"Come on, we can wake them up like how they wake us up," I said, getting up from the bar stool and leading the girls up to where the boys were sleeping.

I walked into the bathroom and filled a cup with water and snuck into Tyler's room. His face was squished against the pillow and he was breathing out of his mouth. He was out cold. I chuckled and walked over to him. At first, I dripped a couple of drops on his cheek, making him stir. Then, I poured all of the water all over him. He jumped up, inhaling air and wiping his face.
