"You got your key?" I asked my friend Lily before we left our hotel room that Friday night.
She looked at me and flashed me a smile; "yeah, you?"
"Yeah."
"Alexa," I called a few doors down the hall.
She looked at me; "yeah?"
"You got yours?"
"Key?"
"Yes."
"Yep."
"Ok."
We locked the doors of our room and started down the hall to the elevators.
"So what movies do you want to get?"
"Speak," I said.
"I want to get But I'm A Cheerleader," Alexa said.
"I want to get……………….hmm I'm not sure," Lily said.
"ok."
"we need to tell your parents," Alexa told me pushing the button for the elevator.
"yeah I know."
It was Labor Day weekend and Lily, Alexa, I and our parents had all gone to spend the long weekend away at a hotel.
"I'll go tell my parents you guys go on ahead," I said, once we were in the elevator.
"Ok," Lily replied.
We got off. I went to the restaurant where my parents were having dinner and Alexa and Lily went a different way.
"Oh hey baby," Mom said when she saw me.
"Hi mom,"
Dad looked up; "hey Jasmine."
"Lily, Alexa and I are going to rent some movies. We'll be back in an hour or so."
"Ok hon," Dad said.
"Love you," Mom said.
"You too."
I left the restaurant.
I stepped outside into the cool night air and started walking a few blocks. The sky was clear and the stars were out. It was the perfect fall night.
Little did I know it was about to be one of the worst nights of my life.
Little cliffhanger. Please review and let me know what you think; what I need more of, what could be improved upon, etc. Thank you.
