Fear

part 52

"Flowers and fear are a lot alike. For one, flowers and fear have a distinct smell, and two, I'm currently trying to grow both in my garden." ― Jarod Kintz, There are Two Typos of People in This World: Those Who Can Edit and Those Who Can't

Sophie's POV

The night before we leave, I walk to my dad's apartment. I have to tell him I'm leaving or he'll be mad and kill me in a second. I knock on the door and wait for him to open it. A few minutes later he opens the door with a tired face on him.

"Why are you here?" He groans.

"I just wanted to tell you I'm going on vacation with my family, so don't expect to find me." I say.

"Oh. Where are you going?" He asks, resting against the door frame.

"Somewhere far away from you." I sass.

He chuckles. "Well have fun, but as soon as you come back, watch out."

"Why do you do this?" I scream. "Why do you feel the need to kill me?"

"I just do." He smiles, closing the door.

"Your sick!" I scream. I soon realize he's in control of me. If I don't corroborate, he'll kill my family.

The next day

I fit my suit case in the car and close the trunk. We were driving to California instead of a plane because we need more 'togetherness'. We're taking two cars, thankfully. Uncle Chad, Aunt Elizabeth, Gina, and Skylynn in one and Cam, Nash, Hayes, and I in the other. I sit in shot gun, Cam in the drivers seat, and Nash in the back with Hayes. We were going to switch spots and drivers at the planned stops. Cam starts the car and we follow the others who will be in front of us.

1 hour into driving

I had my feet up on the dash board, reading a Seventeen magazine. Hayes fell asleep in the very back and Nash was on his phone.

"This is boring." I sigh, throwing the magazine in my backpack.

"20 minutes until the stop we planned." Cam says, focusing on the road. Soon we arrive at the designated gas station and I walked into the store. Cam and Uncle Chad fill up the cars, the others following behind me. I pick out a bag of Munchies chips, packaged cookies, and two sodas. Half of the stuff is for Cam. I set the stuff at the register and the others put their stuff down. Aunt Elizabeth pays and we head back to the cars. I volunteered to drive next so I climbed into the drivers seat and waited for the others to start moving. Nash stayed in the back and Cam rode shotgun.

We started driving and I was still bored out of my mind. I balanced one hand on the wheel and grabbed my soda, which was sierra mist, and took a sip.

2 hours later

We had another stop and just went to the restrooms and went back to the road. Nash drove with Hayes shotgun, leaving Cam and I in the back. I lay on Cam's lap while he plays with my hair.

"How much longer." I groan.

"We drive for 14 more hours and then we stay at a hotel." He says.

At the hotel

I drag my luggage to Skylynn, Cam, and I's room. I was so tired every though all I did was sit in a car. Cam carried Skylynn and dragged as much as he could to our room. He laid her on the bed and tugged the covers over her. I smiled, he is so caring. I changed into pajamas and went to the bed Cam and I were sharing. After a while Cam came in and settled next to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

"I love you." He says in a sleepy voice and kisses my lips.

"I love you too Cam." I smile and fall asleep.

In the morning I woke up, and got Skylynn ready and then myself. Cam finished and we all went down to the free breakfast they had. Cam was carrying Skylynn and I held his hand as we walked in. They found a table while I made some waffles in the maker thing and brought it back to our table. We started eating, no signs of our family, they were probably still sleeping. An old lady came up to us.

"Hi, I couldn't help but admire how adorable your family is." She says and I turn to Cam.

"Uh, no we aren't a family. This is her sister." Cam says pointing to Skylynn. The old lady apaolgizes.

"Oh I'm sorry! I just can't help it when I see you young kids around. Have a nice day!" She smiles.

"That was new." I sigh and see Hayes and Uncle Chad walk through the door. They pull up some chairs at our table and eat with us. Aunt Elizabeth and Gina come a few minutes later. Soon were back on the road.

When they arrive in California

We board the ship and go to our rooms. It was really late at night.

"Okay who wants to share with who?" Uncle Chad yawns.

"Let's have boys and girls." Aunt Elizabeth suggests. We all agree and go to the two suite rooms we ordered. It was a two bed, couch living room, and kitchen room. Skylynn and I shared a bed while Aunt Elizabeth and Gina fought over who would take the couch and who will get the bed. I don't know what happened because I just fell asleep.
