I woke up; I don't know what to call it, this morning or this afternoon. I groaned slightly and managed to crawl towards my bag, pulling out a watch from one of the pockets; it was two in the afternoon. I groaned again and curled into a ball, pulling the covers over my head; a pound dame from the room next door. "Shut up," I moaned out still in bed.

The banging continued.

I sat up, throwing the covers off me, and went to my door; opening the door I looked down the hallway to see if April was playing a trick on me like she always did in the morning. But she was nowhere in sight. I looked in Lydia's and April's room, there were both gone; birds chirping caught my attention, the storm passes…already?

I went downstairs and found it empty like the room, going to the kitchen; I found a note from both April and Lydia. 'Went to go get some food, decided to stay here and open the place up as a motel. TTYL! Ape and Lid.'

"Great." I muttered crumpling the note and yawning.

Going back into the living room, I looked around the bookcase; it was Tuesday so there wasn't anything on the television besides Dr. Phil or some stuff like that. I poked around the shelf, but found nothing that really interested…but really when did ready honestly interest me.

I waved the thought away and found a big old book, 'Looks like a lot of reading…' I stared down at the book, almost in lost in a train of though, "Eh, big books aren't my thing." I pushed the book back in and noticed it wouldn't go back in. I pulled the book back out and looked to see what was in the back; I reached in and took out a pair of glasses. "How leaves glasses behind book…" I spat out loud putting the book back and stuffing the glasses into my pockets.

I ran back upstairs and changed into some jeans and a shirt, remembering about the banging coming from the room next door. But how could noise becoming from there, no one was in there…or was there?

I went to the room and poked my head it; the room was pitch black, mostly because there was a sheet over the window blocking the sunlight from coming in. I walked over to the window and pulled off the cover; the room lit with sunlight quickly. Opening the window to let some fresh air come in, I started looking around to see what could have made the banging noise.

Royce and Dennis were in the room, bored as hell, the girls were still sleeping and Dennis ordered Royce to stay in the room until they all woke up. Around noon two of the girl woke up and were talking in hushed tones, the other one was still sleeping. Around two-ish the finally girl woke up, thanks to Dennis pounding his head against the wall.

A muffled, "Shut up." Come from the next room; Royce grinned and Dennis simply glared at the wall.

She's awake.

Yeah, so?

So, the rains let up.

And? Dennis muttered rubbing his eyes.

We can leave so let's get out of this dump. Royce sneered.

Dennis looked over at Royce; this place isn't that bad, do you really want to go back to that hell house?

Royce stayed silent.

The door opened, Royce and Dennis looked over at it, and in came Kathy; she removed the curtains, that Royce put up because the light was bothering him, and opened the window. For the next hour, she looked around the room, searching for something, but ended up with nothing; Royce and Dennis watched.

Another twenty minutes into looking and she ended up sitting in the middle of the room; she sighed. "Nothing…maybe I imagined it?"

What is she doing in here? Royce muttered, lighting a stick.

Dennis shrugged; How would I know.

"Hello! Kathy get out here and help us out will ya!"

Kathy stood up and ran downstairs; Royce followed suit and Dennis stayed in the room, closing the door and throwing the cover back over the window.

April and Lydia were back, groceries filled the back of the car; I went to the car and grabbed a couple of bags. I made my way to the kitchen and saw Lydia putting thins up while April was still bringing in things.

"Hey, why did you guys wake me up?" I asked as April walked in with three more bags.

"I didn't have the heart to wake you up. You look so cute when you're sleeping!" April said, pinching my cheek like if I was a little kid.

I wiped her hands away and rubbed my cheek, "Nice." I followed April back out the car and pulled out the last few things. We headed back to the kitchen, placing the bags on the kitchen counter; I started pulling things out of the bags and looked over at April. "What's with the note you guys felt me?"

"We're opening this place you as a motel!" April said, grinning and handing Lydia some canned food.

I put a couple of fruits into the refrigerator and glanced over at April, "And when did you decided this? What about your aunt? And what are we going to do about money to get thins place started? Did you think this over at all?"

"Yeah, my aunt said it was cool, she was gonna demolish the place anyways and don't worry about the money." April looked over at Lydia, "Lid said she'd help in the money department."

"Great." I murmured, stealing looks towards Lydia. 'For once, she's supportive of us.'

Royce listened to the girls, maybe we should stay for a little longer, and who knows it might be good to take a little vacation away from the house. Besides Ryan must be making the place a bloody mess.

"Also, Kathy, I found this in the back of the car. Look familiar?" Royce glanced over towards the girls and saw April holding up a packed of cigarettes.

"Yeah. I'm quitting, only because dad practically had to beg."

"Good, I don't want to look you to a cancer stick. Know lets get this all put up and we'll start with this place."
