Chapter 9: The Announcement!
"I don't believe it!" Alvin's jaw hung opened.
"I don't believe it, either!" Simon said trying to control his shaking.
"But, I thought you said that you'd rather eat worms and hang off a cliff naked then return to that nightmare of an Island.!" Brittany said with a questioning look.
Simon sunk into his chair and hid half of his face with his hand. "I think I might have been drunk when I said that?" He looked at her with an embarrassed and almost shocked expression. 'How could she remember that.?' He thought.
"Well, whatever! I just think this is all crazy!" Brittany snapped back as she crossed her arms.
"I know! I know!" Simon said as he sat back up in his chair. "But I need to do it! I-I need to go back and confront my demons once and for all!" Simon left out the part about needing to go to the Island to retrieve the black box. He felt they might not full understand the reason for that.
"You know you can count on us to be there for you, Simon!" Theodore chimed in. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys! I was hoping you'd say that!" Simon said shyly.
"When do you want to leave?" Dave asked.
"As soon as possible! I just want to get this over with!"
"Alright! I'll call and see if we could rent a plan or something." Dave said as he went to the other room to use the phone.
Miss. Miller walked up to Simon and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Are you going to be alright with all of this?"
"Yea!" Simon sighed.
"If you'd like, we all can come with you?" Jeanette with a support of smiled.
"I don't want to force anybody to come that don't want too!" Simon said nervously.
"You're not forcing anybody to do anything!" Alvin spat.
"That's right! You need our support and we're going with you!" Eleanor said.
"Yea!" Everyone replied in unison.
Simon smiled knowing that having everyone there will be a big help in confronting his nightmares. Defiantly he was hoping that he wouldn't have to go back 'there' by himself. Besides, with their help, he could also pick up a few other things he remembered leaving on the Island.that's if they are still there.
