The next morning.

Maykayla awoke the next morning before 6:00.
She couldn't get back to sleep so she went to go take a shower.
The water felt good against her freezing skin.

35 minutes later.

I didn't know you were up yet. Makayla said as she came out of the bathroom.

Yeah. I just woke up. Alex quickly grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom.

What's his problem? Makayla whispered under her breath as she fixed herself a glass of water and turned the t.v on.

5 minutes later.

Alex stampeded out of the bathroom, threw his clothes down and grabbed a doughnut.

What's wrong? Kay-Kay asked as she walked over to the sink where he was standing.

Nothing. He quickly walked over to where his phone was, threw it into his jacket pocket and ran to the door.

Im out. Be back later. He shut the door behind him in one swift movement.

Bye. She whispered to his back.

Makayla decided to go to the nearest park.

At the park

Kay-Kay walked slowly towards a long bench where a couple was sitting and whispering to each other.

Mind if I sit down? she asked the couple.

Sure. Go ahead.
She could regonize that voice anywhere.

Aj? she asked puzzled.

Kay-Kay? he sounded just as puzzled.

What are you doing here? the snotty woman next to him said.

It was Carie.

Hmmmm. I wonder what could I possibly do at the park? Oh I dont know maybe enjoy the scenerie.
Duh. I said as I sat down next to Aj.

I heard him silently laugh.

Makayla Im so sorry about the way I acted yesterday. I really like you as a friend. Forgive me?
That face sent a chill down her spine.

She smiled slyly and said: Of course I forgive you. She gave him a hug and stood up.

I have to go. I will see you tomorrow. Bye Aj, Bye Carie.

She turned around and walked back towards the hotel.

In the hotel room.

She headed straight to the bathroom and splashed her face.
As she started to open the door she heard voices in the room.
She quickly closed the door back and listened.

Yeah. Dude, if he finds out it might ruin everything for them. Alex was talking.

But you were careful. Right? Chris said as the refrigerator shut.

Um, no.

Dude!
She heard a popping sound and moved closer to the door.

She realized what they were talking about.
About last night. About how they weren't careful.

She knew it all and that's what scared her the most.
