The next few days I slept all day. After the third day I was rested and I felt amazing better then ever before. I woke up to glass of water and a note. I was in my own bed.

The note:
Come downstairs when you wake up. Its been a few days that youve been sleeping.

I decided to take a shower first since I had been sleeping for a few days. I showered and changed into my clothes not bothering to put any makeup on. The time was 09:23 in the morning and the smell of food filled the house. I heard a few doors open. I got dressed and put my shoes on and went down stairs.

My outfit:

I made my way down stairs and and walked into the kitchen

I made my way down stairs and and walked into the kitchen. "Morning." I said sitting down at the island in the kitchen. "You look better." Mel said sliding me some orange juice. I took a drink and my stomach growled. "Foods almost done." Mel said as Chris and Tyler bounced into the kitchen just as I had done. "Look whos up." Chris said pucking me up spinning me around. "Shes alive." Tyler said sarcasticly spinning me around just as Chris had done.

"Breakfast is ready guys go wake the others." Mel told them. They didnt fight it and they did as she said. "I'll help you set the table." I said cheerfully. "You do seem better. You seem yourself again." She said handing me plates. "Well. I am sad because I lost them but I know it was meant to be and I know my mom would want me to take care of myself." I said setting plates.

Mel nodded and handed me a plate of eggs and bacon to sit on the table. I sat them down as she walked over and sat down a big bowl of gravy and a plate of biscuts. "This looks amazing." I said as everyone piled into the dining room for breakfast. Everyone greeted me then sat down. We all ate and laughed through breakfast. The day passed by quickly.

"Who wants to go to the beach!?" Tyler asked loudly standing on the chair. Everyone yelled in agreement. "GO GET READY!" Mel yelled and everyone ran out of the room. I just sat there laughing. "You okay hun?" Mel asked me. "Yeah. Im just happy to be a part of this amazing family. Im not alone and I love this." I said. Mel knew what I meant. "It is an amazing family." She agreed as we walked out.

I went to my room and got my beach bag ready. It was all of us going so I had the idea of a big game of beach volleyball divided into teams. I got into my bikini and put on light blue blue jean shorts and a black cami tank top. I walked down stairs and got some water out of the fridge.  I thought I was alone inside. Because a few minutes ago everyone was outside waiting for me. "Get me some water?" Chris asked from behind me.

I jumped like I had just got shot. "Yeah." I said after calming my nerves. Chris had laughed and we walked outside. They piled into two vehicles. "Ill drive behind y'all. I'm gonna make a few stops first then ill be there." I told Mel and she said okay. They left and so did I. We went sepperate ways and I stopped at the store.

I got a few bottles of gatorade and some candy. Lord knows somebody will end up wanting candy. I laugh to myself as I get back into my truck. I drove to the beach and got out. I didnt see anyone there. The beach was empty but the parking lot was full of cars and there were different places set where people had laid out towels and small blankets.

"Where is everyone?" I asked myself. Just as I was about to step on the beach I got a message from Mel.

Mel: GET INTO YOUR TRUCK AND GET DOWN! NOW! ILL EXPLAIN IN A MINUTE!!!!

When I say I ran boy you better belive I ran. I got into the floor and ducked down. Good thing im a small human. I am good at hiding. And thats a good thing. After a minute I decided to text Mel back.

Me: Im hiding. Whats going on? Where is everyone?

Mel: in their vehicles hiding

Me: Whats going on Momma Mel?

Mel: There is a serial killer that has been spotted near the beach. Police are looking for him now. But everyone has to hide. Some people are in the restrooms and some are under their vehicles and in them.

When I read that my breath hitched in my throat. Then I heard my truck door try to open. Thank god I had tinted windows and locked my doors. I had jumped in the back of my truck and thrown a blanket over me.

Me: someone is trying to get into my truck! What do I do Mel!

Mel: STAY QUIET! DONT MOVE!

Me: HE BUSTED A WINDOW! THERES GLASS EVERYWHERE!

Mel: DONT MOVE!!!!

My phone died after she sent that message. I couldnt move even if I wanted to. I was frozen in fear. A car down the lot the alarm went off and the person ran from my truck a minute later there were police sirens yelling then gun shots.

"OFFICER DOWN! OFFICER DOWN!!! DONT MOVE! YOU WILL GET SHOT!!"
*gun shots* *silence*

I was now in tears afraid for my life. I heard steps comign up to my truck again. "This is Officer Karie is anyone in this vehicle?" A males voice said. I uncovered and seen a police man standing there. "Ma'am you can now exit the vehicle." He said. I unlocked my doors and climbed out. The killers body was covered up and police filled the parking lot.

"What happened?" He asked me pulling my to the back of the ambulence. I had glass all in my right leg from climbing out of my truck through thr glass. I didnt even notice. "Uh. I got a message telling me to hide then I did and the person y'all were chasing broke my window and a car alarm went off down the lot then yall showed up." I explain as best as I can. Everyone left their vehicles either going to the beach or leaving and going home. The pain from the glass found me and really hurt. "Ow!" I exclaim grabbing onto the officers arm. He stopped. "Dont look at it." He said and we kept walking.

Once we got to the ambulance they removed the glass and cleaned my leg and wrapped it up. "You'll want to change these bandages 3 times a day for the next few days." The EMT said. He gave me planty of gauz pads anti bacterial cream and medical tape. I said thank you and mad emy way to find Mel and the others.

Im always getting hurt one way or another. I found them and they instantly asked me what happened when they seen my leg. I explained to them just like I explained to the officer and we decided that we should leave.

Once we all decided to leave Mel said that I shouldnt drive alone and someone should go with me. "Any volunteers?" I ask sarcasticly. "I'll go with her." Chris said to Mel and we got in my truck. I plugged my phone in and Chris got a message from Mel asked is we would pick up food for everybody. We agreed on it and got everyones orders.

We got food and went home once I got there my leg was bothering me so I changed the bandages. And ate food with everyone else. We all went live that night and had a really fun night. That night everything was perfect. After we left the beach nothing went wrong. Everything was okay.
