Chapter 3: An Unforgettable Night

My classmates and I are staying at a luxury hotel, just a few miles from the museum and a few blocks from the Empire State Building. Susie, Caym, and I are staying in the same hotel room with the other girls down our hallway, while Luke and the other guys are on the other side of the hotel. It was ten thirty at night; Susie and Caym are already asleep, because they need their beauty sleep, but I was still up. I didn't feel like sleeping, for some odd reason, and there was nothing to do, nothing on TV, so I just laid on the bed. As I laid there in the dark, listening to Susie's and Caym's breathing, my heart started to ache, Mr. Brunner's letter says I must attend camp for the summer, that would mean me leaving Mel, Caym, Susie and Luke.

I shook my head, trying to forget the idea of leaving everyone that I know, but it doesn't sound that bad. I guess I could meet my siblings though but leaving, again I shook my head "no just no, it's mine and Mel's decision" thinking to myself. I was about to close my eyes when I heard a faint knock on the door, I got up and slowly walked towards the door, trying not to wake my roommates who are sleeping near the door. I leaned on the door trying to listen for the knocks and again there it was, I smiled, it was Luke. We have our own secret knock to let each other know it's us. I quietly, and quickly, unlocked it and opened the door. Standing near the fire escape, which is located right in front of my door, was Luke. He was wearing a strip long sleeve shirt with pjs pants, he smiled and quickly walked in, I locked the door, "I was about to leave, I thought you were asleep." He whispered, "Sorry, I was trying not to wake Susie, she would freak out that you snuck into our room in the dead of night without permission and you know it's against the rules to even go into a girl's room." I whispered back, I could hear him chuckling somewhere near the back end of the room. I heard the sliding door, that goes to the indoor balcony (which is cool the employees can take it down or leave it if you want), with the light streaming in I could see him going out and motioning me to come with him. So together we went and sat on the chairs that they have, "Pfft…nice pjs," I turned to Luke is trying hard not to laugh, I looked down at my pjs. I am wearing a long sleeve shirt but I know he is making fun of my pjs pants. They are orange and it has the designs of Thumper, the rabbit from the movie "Bambi". "What's wrong with Thumper, he is so cute." Luke rolled his eyes but couldn't help but smile, we just sat there listening to the cars down below and watching the Empire State Building.

"Jen, do you believe in the gods are real?" I turned to Luke, he was looking at the skyline, I shook my head, "I don't know really, but Mr. Brunner made it sound like they are real." I replied, Luke nodded, we stayed on the balcony for about two hours, and it was now twelve. "Jen, um did you ever meet your dad?" I sighed, "No, I didn't, Mel said he left before I was born." "What do you mean?" I explained to Luke, that it was Mel who told me about my dad and not my mom, since she is always with her boyfriend. "She said when my mom was about to have me, they got into a big fight, he left and then never saw him again, my mom went crazy. She burned everything that he gave her for presents or that belong to him. But Mel was able to save this." I stretched out my hand to show a leather bracelet with a bronze circle with strange lettering. "This is the only thing I have from him, but I know he is not gone, he is out there…somewhere." I looked out at the skyline looking at the Empire State Building, just a few blocks up in that building is my dad. Doing whatever gods do up there, "so what about you" I asked Luke trying to hold back the tears that threaten to fall. But before he could say anything, a light turned on in the next room beside us. Our faces paled, Mrs. McCoy is checking the rooms, but if she is checking then Mr. Garza is also checking. Luke and I are screwed. We got up and went inside and started to make our way to the door, but trying to see in the dark is not very helpful in this situation. Luke accidently bumped into the small coffee table, causing him to trip, pulling me down with him. I opened my eyes, and turned to Luke to see if he is ok, he was laying on his stomach, before I could ask if he is ok, I could hear Mrs. McCoy speed walking towards our room. Luke quickly got up and hid next to the door frame so that the door would hide him once it opens. I still laid on the ground so it would look like that is was me, who tripped, Susie and Caym started walking up, just as Susie was about to turn to Luke, the door burst open. Standing there with the master key is Mrs. McCoy, "what's going on in here!" Susie and Caym are now fully awake, "sorry, I was going to the restroom but I accidently tripped." I said explaining while holding my foot, as the teacher walked over to me checking if my foot is sprained, Caym got up and stood over us casting a shadow. Quietly Luke came out from behind the door, thanked Caym and waved good bye to Susie, who was shocked that he was here and walked into the hallway.

Finally Mrs. McCoy left leaving me with the over active twins, I laid on my bed waiting for them to burst with answers. Just as I was about to sit up to confront them, Susie and Caym jumped on my bed, asking or demanding to know everything of what happened with Luke and I. "Did he come like Romeo and Juliet?" questioned Susie. "What happened on the balcony?!" squeaked Caym, I sighed, wishing they would go to sleep, but I explained to them what happened. "And that's it, we just talked nothing else," I said lying back on the bed "now go to sleep." I pulled the covers over my head, trying to block out the squeals and flying questions. Finally they gave up and went to their own beds, I sighed turning to get comfortable. Sleep crept up on me like a predator stalking its prey, I had a feeling not to sleep but I couldn't do anything. The bad feeling turned out to be a nightmare.
