Sooooo sorry for the wait. Got bombarded with a whole load of hard work, and then I ended up hitting a brick wall with this chapter, so I wrote another future chapter in that time.
A few weeks after the incident, Hurley had still not returned to college and the group were getting worried as to what was going on. On that note they decided to go round to his house to find out what had happened to their estranged friend. When they got there Ms Reyes greeted them, then began filling them in, to an extent, telling that in Hurley's current state he could not face going to college and had gone away for a while to recuperate, with this she changed the subject to them asking how they were doing, and that was all they were getting.
As for Jack finding heroin in his house the day after the drunken shenanigans, he, Kate and Sawyer had agreed to stay quiet for the time being as they did not know in whose possession the drugs had been and it wouldn't be good to start throwing questions of the such at people.
Now it was Easter break, having had another term of hard work come to an end, Claire's parents had taken the liberty of letting the teens stay for a week in an apartment they owned in Lanzarote. The group had jumped at this idea welcoming sun, sea and sand on a hot climate island. The perfect break, away from everything. No work. No stress. No worry.
They boarded the plane, sitting down and getting comfortable, no one was nervous, they all loved flying, already getting things out that would occupy them on the flight.
Twenty minutes later they were up in the air, and the crew were getting ready to supply drinks and a movie was about to start.
"What movies on?" Sayid asked Claire who had earphones in watching the screen in front of them.
"Evolution."
"Evolution?" He asked.
"Yeah, you know the one with the aliens that's evolve into other alien things, really funny."
"Ah ok…sounds...weird." He replied, he decided to watch it when it came on.
Sawyer was already sitting with a book open, he was reading Mysterious Island by Jules Verne, and was staring at it intently, glaring at anybody who would disturb him. At first Charlie had asked him why he was reading a book about an island when they were going to one, he had replied by threatening to shove the book, once finished of course, where the sun don't shine if he didn't shut up soon, and then stated that the island they were going to wouldn't be inhabited by monsters and hopefully they wont end up adopting an orangutan. Charlie had found the last bit very entertaining.
The rest had all either got out earphones, or purchased some, and were watching the movie, every now and then letting out laughs at the humour and causing sawyer to mutter to himself.
An hour or so later, they burst out laughing, once again.
"Oh my god this song rules!" Kate shouted, maybe a bit louder than she would have if she hadn't had earphones in.
The group, collectively, started to sing along.
"Yeah
there was, Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just
when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky
music white boy
Play that funky music right" They all tried to
hit the high notes, some turning to screeches. Some of the cabin crew
were looking a bit put off, but most of the other passengers were
quite amused, watching the teens sing along to an old 70's song.
The movie ended not long after then food was brought out. Shannon let out a groan that mirrored what the rest were thinking too, all except Kate who had happily ripped off the plastic covering and was digging in, she looked up to see, Shannon, Jack and Claire staring at her.
"What? Its good food." She said, turning and shovelling in another sausage, with mash potato on it.
Everyone had silently agreed, that she could finish their food off, when they had finally gave up prodding and poking at it.
Lunch, another movie and lots of boredom later they landed in Arrecife airport, stepping out of the door and being hit by a wave of hot air and sunshine. A shared sigh of contentment was released at this.
After collecting luggage, they quickly headed of to get taxis to the apartment.
"Right four in one taxi…" Jack said pointing to Kate, Claire and Charlie who were standing near him, "…and obviously four in the other." Gesturing towards Ana Lucia, Sawyer, Shannon, and Sayid.
"Ok, what's the name of the apartments again?" Ana Lucia asked Claire.
"Just say Las callas, hopefully the driver will know." She said with a nervous laugh. Every previous time she had come to Lanzarote she had been with her parents who had spent loads of time out there, so they knew it like a second home. She on the other hand had left it up to them every time.
They managed to arrive at the apartments ten minutes later, avoiding getting lost, checked in then headed off to find where they would be staying for the next week. Sawyer was still reading, while still managing to pull along his luggage, and wasn't really paying much attention to where he was going.
"Wow…the pool is huuuuge!" Charlie said excitedly.
"There's another two, on other parts of the complex." Claire replied, and saw the rest of the groups faces light up.
Ana Lucia had been keeping quiet for a while, mostly she was trying to refrain from harming Sawyer in any way for continuously reading his book, and the fact that he was still doing it, after she had tried to persuade him to put it down in the taxi, ticked her off. She extended her arm, sharply, sideways, into him, sending him off balance, tripping on the edge of the pool and falling right in.
He resurfaced, wet…very wet.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, you just ruined my damn book!" He yelled swimming over to the side, sodden book still in hand.
"Oh…what a shame…" She rolled her eyes at him then carried on walking with the others who were now laughing at his expense.
They walked up a small path to a patio and stopped in front of a door.
"108. We're here." Claire said putting the key card in the door, hearing the little beep and opening it. They walked inside, straight into a kitchen dining room/ living room, with a TV and couch. Through the back there were two bedrooms with three beds in each, and a large bathroom. "The settee pulls out into a bed too." She said after she noticed the looks she was getting from everyone when they had counted the beds and compared it to how many of them there was.
Sigh Boy that was a struggle…I'm not too sure why either…oh well...I've had a change of plan with this and it's buggered up the rest planned out already but I'll sort it. Lol
Right, so for the next chapter I want votes for who will get the settee together.
Thanks for the reviews last time, please keep them up. Thankees!
