I am obsessed with these songs, and i cannot stop singing them :P
"Inner Ninja" by Classifed & David Myles
"Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft Wanz
"Mirror" by Lil'Wayne & Bruno Mars
XD I think I might use the third song in the next book... Yes, there will be a sequel to this story. It's titled "My Cahill Death" and I'm writing Chapter 11 right now... xD No spoilers for you guys! XD

I hate Australia.
Yes, I know I said I loved it... But I was 11 when I went to Australia. I was oblivious back then.
Sure, it's gorgeous. But it's also very crowded. And it was so cold! I thought Australia was always hot until I realized Australia actually had their winter during our summer.
Fantastic.
I flagged down a taxi. Not caring how much money it costed me, I asked to go straight to Dolphin Point.
«»«»«»
We got off the taxi at Dolphin Point. I didn't know that Dolphin Point was basically it's own city
Like, instead of it being just one road, it went on for blocks! Every left you make, every right you make... You're still on Dolphin Point Road!
We gave up looking after about an hour. We couldn't seem to find 1001.
"We need to camp somewhere for the night."
Jonah nodded. "Da Wiz can only take so much exercise."
We continued walking, looking for a motel or something. But unfortunately, all there was were mansions.
"Can I help you folks?" Some guy called out. We glanced up and saw an old dude mowing his lawn.
I smiled. "Yes. Actually, could you give us directions to 1001 Dolphin Point?"
The man's eyes widened. "That's all the way on the other side of Dolphin Point."
My shoulders slumped. The man turned off his mower and approached me, a hand held out.
"The names Bill Saunders."
I shook his bony little hand. "Lindsay Cahill. Behind me are Dan, Amy, Jonah, Jake, Atticus, and Ian."
He grinned. "Do you folks need somewhere to stay?"
"Yes."
"Well, there's a few spare bedrooms and some couches inside."
My eyes widened. "No, it's okay. We really don't have to."
"Nah, I insist. Come on in. I'll make you guys some tea."
«»«»«»
We had drank tea, sat by the fire and got to know each other a little better. When 10pm rolled up, Bill decided we should head to bed.
"Thanks again. For letting us stay." I said one last time as everybody went upstairs.
Bill gave me a toothy grin. "My pleasure. I never usually have company... Oh, that reminds me. My brother and his family are coming over early in the morning. We are going to head out on a fishing trip."
"That's cool. So you sorta need us out before then?"
"If you need to, then you can stay. Just don't break anything."
Bill laughed before walking into his room. I shuddered.
I walked into my room. I changed into a pair of booty shorts, and an old belly button tank top.
I climbed into bed. I tried to fall asleep, but I just couldn't. The hours just kept rolling by.
Around 12, I plugged in my headphones and started listening to some music. But that just woke me up more. Then at 1:30 I got up and tiptoed into Dan's room.
He wasn't asleep either, and he didn't look surprised to see me.
"Did you have a nightmare again?" He whispered, grinning at me.
I scowled. "No. I just can't sleep."
Dan pushed himself over, and patted the side of the bed.
I sighed gratefully as I laid down beside him. He wrapped his arm around my stomach.
"Thanks." I murmured.
"No problem." He replied, kissing my temple.
And for the first time that night, I fell asleep.
«»«»«»
I woke up again in the same position. I glanced over at the clock.
5:30am.
Ugh, why can't I sleep in?
I snuck out of Dan's grasp and walked bak into my own bedroom.
I changed into some decent looking clothes and went downstairs.
Surprisingly, Bill was up making coffee.
"Well, you're an early riser."
"Not normally." I replied, sitting myself down at the counter. "I couldn't sleep last night."
"That's too bad. My brother's gonna be here any minute now, so I gotta go grab my tackle box from the shed. There's bread on the counter, or cereal in the cupboard if you're hungry." Bill told me as he left.
"Thanks."
I got up and made myself some toast. I sat down at the table when the doorbell rang.
I hesitated. Should I answer it? Ugh, why not. I got up and opened up the door, wiping my hands on my shorts.
At the door was the second hottest guy I've ever seen. (Jake was first). He had blonde hair, and he was ripped.
He gave me an odd look. "I'm looking for Bill Saunders... Who are you?"
"A passer by looking for somewhere to sleep. Bill let me sleep here. And he's, Uh, at the shed."
"Oh." The boy grinned as he stepped inside. "I'm Xavier, Bill's nephew."
"Lindsay."
"Nice hair." Xavier commented.
I grimaced. "Yeah, I don't like it."
Xavier laughed.
A little girl ran inside next. She stopped when she saw me.
"Who's you?"
I laughed at her bad grammar. "I'm Lindsay."
"Where's uncle Bill?"
"At the shed. He'll be back inside in a minute."
She nodded. "Why are you here."
"I'm on a very important mission. I'm really an undercover spy." I joked.
Her eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yep."
Xavier chuckled. "This is my eight year old sister Gabbi."
"That explains the resemblance."
"How old are you?" Xavier asked suddenly.
"I'm 13."
"I'm 14. Turning 15 in a couple weeks."
"Cool. My birthday's in March."
"Hey, so is Gabbi's. Hers is the 17."
I snickered. "Mine's the 18."
"Sweet."
"Xavier, Gabbi! Time to go!" Someone called from outside.
"And that's my dad." Xavier scratched his neck sheepishly.
I laughed. "Be happy. I don't have parents. I live with my aunt in Hollywood."
"Ah, that's too bad. I'll see you around." Xavier said before leaving. Bill came inside one last time.
"I'm leaving now."
"We'll be leaving as soon as everyone else is up." I assured.
"See you around." Bill left.
In less than 5 minutes, Dan was downstairs.
"Why did you leave me?" He asked, giving me his puppy dog look. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck
"I was hungry."
Dan scoffed "Great reason."
"Thank you."
Dan leaned down and kissed me softly.
"Why do you always kiss me after we have arguments?" I probed, raising an eyebrow.
"Kissing makes you shut up." He answered honestly.
I laughed. "Do you know what makes us both shut up?"
He shrugged. "Belgium Chocolate?"
"Ugh, you're messed up." I complained. I dragged him up to his bedroom and we basically played Slenderman on our iPods for a few hours.
A knock came on the door. According to my watch, it was 7am. My God...
The person knocked again.
"Quick," Dan whispered. "Pretend you're sleeping."
So I did as he told me. I got under the covers and closed my eyes. Dan opened up the door.
"Hey, Amy. What's up?"
"Just came to tell you that we are leaving in a few minutes... And now I've found Lindsay."
"Yeah... She couldn't sleep last night so she came in here with me."
"Okay... So get all your stuff together. I'll see you in a few."
The door closed. I sat back up.
"I guess I'll head back to my room."
Dan kissed me and I crept out into the hall.
