Now~

I was sleeping fine until I was awoken by a blood curdling scream. Skylar was screaming. "SKYLAR!" I yelled as I ran to the bathroom. I tried to open the door but it was locked. "Skylar open the door!" I yelled. "Chris!" She yelled. Her voice was filled with panic. "I kicking the door!" I yelled warning her. Just as I was about to kick the door her screams stopped. I kicked the door but it wouldn't budge. After a few times of kicking the door it opened.

"Skylar!" I exclaimed as I seen her on the floor. "Baby!" I said shaking her. I picked her up and put her on the bed. "Baby. I need you to wake up! Please wake up." I cried. After a few seconds she gasped for air. She was awake. 'Heart flutter.' I reminded myself. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah. Uh. I'm just tired." She said clearly scared. "What happened?" I finally asked after a few minutes. "I was taking a shower and the water turned red. And it got really really hot. Im surprised im not burnt." She said putting a shirt and some shorts on.

"Its okay now." I said. "Lets get some sleep and leave early." "Okay Chris. Okay. Let's sleep." She said crawling to the top of the bed. I followed suit and crawled to the top of the bed as well. As soon as we were under the covers she was asleep. It wasn't too long before I was asleep as well. Soon after we were both asleep I was awoken by the bed jerking. Like someone pushed the bed as hard as they could. I sat straight up as it scared me. Skylar was still asleep. Such beauty. Then a banging came at the door. Which woke Skylar up. "Shh." I whispered to her as I got up.

She nodded and silently slipped off of the bed. As I did. As I got closer to the door the knocking only seemed to grow louder. 'Does no one else hear this?' I thought to myself. Hesitantly I looked out of the peephole. As soon as I did this the knocking stopped. No one was there. "Step back." I said as I unlocked the door. As soon as Skylar backed up I swung the door open. Nothing. No one was there. Its like nothing even happened. "Baby. We need to go." Skylar said from behind me. "Yeah. Get you shit. We are leaving now." I said panicing. Soon Skylar and I had all of our stuff together and we left. Didn't even bothering checking out we just left. I dropped a note at the front desk stating that we left so they would know. I simply stated that the guests in room 205 left before check out. "What time is it?" Skylar asked as we piled into the jeep freaking out. "4:30." I said as I pulled away from the hotel.

"That was freaky." Skylar said after a few minutes. We calmed down and started laughing. For the next few days we continued our trip. Camping a few nights and staying in a hotel for a few nights. Skylar and I grew closer and I learned alot more about her as she had about me. Now it was time to return home. We both missed everyone and I will be happy to sleep in my own bed and not be scared.

"Hey baby. Im gonna drive us home." Skylar said as we loaded everything into the jeep. "Okay." I said not putting up a fight. "Ready to go?" I asked putting out the fire. We camped for the last night of our trip. "Yeah. When you are." She said. After I made sure the fire was out I returned to the jeep. Soon we left. Skylar and I drove for hours in silence. Not even a peep came from either of our lips. It was comfortable. After about 6 hours of driving in complete silence the air was getting heavy.

Something was weighing on Skylars shoulders. But I just couldn't tell what. "Baby." I said finally speaking. "Yeah?" She asked. "Are you okay? It seems like something is wrong. What are you thinking about?" I asked her. She stayed silent for a few minutes. "Im thinking about my mom. I miss her." She finally said. "I'm s-" I started to say but I was cut off by her. "Please don't say your sorry." She said wiping tears out of her eyes. "I won't. Im here. You know this." I said. "I know. I love you." She said putting her hand on mine squeezing lightly. "Want to get something to eat?" I asked after another hour of driving.
