The sound of the car door slamming suddenly awoke Kay, who was still sleeping against the window. She wiped her hair from her face, and looked over to her friend, Simone, who was putting away her CD player.

"Where are we?" Kay asked, stretching and then picking up her things to get off as well.

Simone turned and looked at Kay. "We're at the resort. Where else would we be?"

After opening the door to the car, Simone hopped out, and began walking towards the cabins. Miguel and Charity were already in the cabin, and Reese and Jessica where just about there. Simone had just started, and Kay was alone in the suburban, watching her friend. "Well," she thought, "Someone else decided to get bitchy today. Welcome to the club."

After getting out of the vehicle and grabbing her luggage, Kay slowly made her way to the cabin that they would be staying at. How they got the cabin was beyond Kay. Her father had told her that someone had owed him a favor, and so he asked to borrow the cabin by the ocean so the kids would be able to go during their summer vacation. Kay couldn't deny the beauty of it either. It was founded on a nice cliff overlooking the Atlantic. "I swear by the end of this damn vacation, I'm going to be throwing myself over that cliff," she thought bitterly as she quickly walked up the steps to the cabin, and made her way inside.

"Wow, Kay have you seen this? It's amazing!" Charity said happily to her cousin while gazing around the room.

"Yea...amazing," Kay replied unenthusiastically. She turned away from Charity and rolled her eyes, and walked to the couch and set her bags down.

"Okay," Miguel started as everyone turned to face him and listen. "There are two bedrooms with two beds. Jess and Charity could take that room," he said pointing to the left, "And Kay and Simone can take that one. Reese and I can take these two couches out here."

Everyone nodded and agreed, and began walking to their sleeping quarters to get settled in. Miguel began to walk around and open the windows to let the place air out and let fresh air in.

Kay and Simone coughed as she walked into the room where they were to stay. The place was really dusty, and needed to be aired out severely. "Damn! Open the window, Simone," Kay choked out, swiping her hand through the air in front of her. Simone concurred with the sudden need to open the window and quickly did. After awhile, the dust had lessened, and it was easier to breathe. After watching her awhile, Kay finally broke the silence and decided to talk to Simone.

"Sim-" she said, suddenly interrupted by Simone calling her name.

"Go ahead," Kay said smiling a little, relieved that her friend actually wanted to talk to her as well.

"Well," Simone started, "I just wanted to say sorry for snapping back there in the car. I know how hard it is seeing the guy you love with someone else. I had to live with that too, with Chad. But luckily I've moved on from him, and accepted that he loves my sister, and always has."

Kay smiled a little, then frowned. "Thank you Simone. I'm the one that should be apologizing. You're my friend and have done nothing to deserve being bitched at. It is hard, but I shouldn't take out my problems on my friends and those who actually do care about me. Please forgive me..."

Simone laughed, and then hugged Kay. "Of course, girl. We're like sisters."

The girls continued to sit and chat and make up, while unpacking their things and fixing the room up to the way they wanted.

Out in the front room, Reese set out his things next to the couch he was going to be sleeping on, while Jessica helped him.

"You really don't have too, Jessica. I don't want to burden you," Reese said, blushing a little that Jessica wanted to help him with his things.

"I know I don't have to, Reese. I want to." She smiled at him, and continued helping him set up his personal items.
In Kay and Simone's room, the girls were searching through Simone's bag for a book that she had brought along to show Kay.

"I know it's in here," Simone said, going through the clothes that were piled in the luggage bag. "Maybe I left it in the car when I took out my CD's."

"Then I'll go ask Miguel for the keys. He should have them since he drove us here," Kay said as she walked towards the door of their bedroom.

After walking through the living room, and seeing Jessica and Reese together, Kay figured that Miguel must have been in the other room with Charity. She hesitated at first, thinking that she didn't want to walk in on Miguel with Charity, but couldn't go back to the room since she told Simone that she would go ask him for the keys. She sighed, and continued on, hoping not to see something that she would regret...which she would.

"Miguel," Charity said out loud as he kissed her passionately, and laid her down on the bed. "Miguel what are we doing? Everyone is here..."

Kay's eyes peeked through the door of the opened bedroom door, and her heart filled with pain as she quietly watched what was happening.

"Charity...I love you so much. I need you. I want you," he gasped out, continuing to kiss her.

Kay closed her eyes, and sighed heavily. She still had to go in the room and acquire the car keys, which she could see where lying on the nightstand right next to them. She swallowed down her fear and pain, and knocked on the door loudly, hoping to cease the action between the two lovers. But they didn't stop. Miguel just told Charity to forget whoever was at the door and continue with him. Now Kay's heart was really in pain, as she had to stand there and knock on the door...again. After waiting, she decided to just walk in, which she did.

"Hey...guys," she said, swallowing down her tears, "I need the car keys. Where are they?"

Miguel got up from the bed with Charity and blushed realizing Kay had seen them in such a compromising position. Charity also stood up, and fixed her wrinkled clothes.

"Sorry," Miguel said, slightly giggling. "There right here." He reached over to the nightstand and picked up the keys. "Here you go," he said handing them to her. "Just leave them on the coffee table out front when you're done."

Kay, who now had a stupor look on her face, nodded slowly, and turned and walked out of the bedroom. She closed the door halfway, as it had been, and quickly walked to the front door of the cabin.

"What's wrong, sis?" Jessica asked in a concerned voice after noticing Kay's upset look.

"Nothing," Kay managed to choke out. "I'm perfectly fine."

She continued, and walked out of the cabin, and into the late afternoon sun. She didn't even pay attention to her steps, but just gazed like a zombie to the suburban where she was headed. The lock made a clicking sound as she opened the door and climbed inside to the back seat where she and Simone had been sitting while on the road. The book that Simone had wanted was lying to the side of her seat, tucked into the corner nicely. Her hand slowly pulled out the book from its corner, but she continued to sit there in the deafening silence inside the vehicle. The tears that she had been holding back slowly rose now, and her defenses faltered as the tears slipped out of her eyes. The pain of crying, which she knew all too well, had now taken over, and her sobs could only be heard inside the suburban as she fell to the seat and cried.
