The Cruise

Emily: You guys all packed and ready to go yet?

Jason: All set!

Brian: I’m ready

Brianna: I’m ready too! I’m so exited you guys, we have been planning this for forever now!

Brian: I’ll start putting our bags in the truck so we can get on the road, put them by the door so I can keep loading them in

With that, everyone began to put their bags by the front door for Brian to put in the car. Once all the bags where ready they got in the car and headed off.

Jason: I call dibs on choosing my room first!

Brianna: come on now, ladies first.

After a long ride of being on the road, taking stops for food, and bathroom breaks, they where finally there.

Brianna: Alright everyone get some sleep and set your alarm clocks for 8 o’clock so we can get there on time to board the ships.

Jason & Emily: Goodnight everyone!

Brian & Brianna: See you in the morning!

We had been setting up this trip for months and the day had finally come, but i feel that Emily is acting weird, I mean I’m her best friend and she would tell me everything…right?

Hey everyone, I’m Brianna! This is the story of my first and last cruise. You would never think that a nice vacation with friends could end the way this did.

*Alarm goes off*

Brian: Five more minutes!

Brianna: nope, you should have went to sleep last night instead of staying on that game, I told you that we where getting up early

Brian: oh well, I’ll sleep as long as I want when we get on that ship.

As Brian went to brush his teeth I went to make sure that Emily and Jason where awake, but as I walked closer to their door I heard yelling. So instead of knocking, I put my ear to the door to see what was going on. Jason was yelling at Emily about something, but I don’t know what. I’ve never seen them fight before, Emily has never talked to me about this. And with that, this is what I heard…

Jason: IM TIERD OF THIS, YOU NEVER LET ME GET A BREAK! IS IT TOO MUCH TO LET ME SLEEP WOMAN?!

That was enough, I couldn’t stand hearing him yell at my best friend like that, so I knocked on the door and hear Jason whisper to Emily…

Jason: You better wipe your face and go answer that door.

Once she opened the door you could tell she has been crying, I pretended like I didn’t notice.

Brianna: Great! Your already up. Well me and Brian are about to go to the car and wait for you two whenever you are ready

Emily: alright we will be right down

She said hesitantly. So I went to the car with Brian and told him everything.

Brian: we will keep a close eye out on them I promise.

Then they came to the car l, you could tell Emily was wearing makeup

Jason: let’s get this show on the road!

And with that, Brian took us to board the ship, but on the way there I couldn’t help but ask…

Brianna: would you guys mind if me and Emily share a room and you and jason share a room? You know a girls night and a guys night?

Brian: I don’t mind, what do you say Jason?

Jason: sure, I’m cool with that

You could tell he was upset about it though, I couldn’t stand watching her suffer our whole vacation over one fight. After we got situated in our rooms we began to unpack and I got the chance to talk to Emily.

Brianna: I heard what happened in your room this morning..what was he mad about?

Emily: he was mad that the alarm woke him up that’s all, he’s not a morning person

Brianna: well as long as that’s all it was I began to get worried

We had a laugh about it and went to grab something to eat. The cruise was great! We are, partied, and went in the pool almost every day. We where living the life. Everything went smoothly between Jason and Emily too! Or, so I thought.

When we where getting off the ship, I over heard Jason getting mad at the fact that they where not in the same room, I had a solution though.

Brianna: I don’t know about you guys but I think we should be with our other half on the way back home. If that’s okay with everyone else

Everyone sure enough agreed and we got off the boat. Hawaii was beautiful, there was so much water surrounding us and so many different foods. We partied with the people there who where so nice to us, we played the games they played, and tried the foods they had to offer. It began to get dark and me and Brian where alone so we went to look for Jason and Emily.

Soon enough, we spotted Jason sitting on the end of the beach by the water.

Brian: hey Jason, we are about to head back on the boat, where’s Emily?

But Jason didn’t respond, he just sat there staring at the water.

Brianna: Jason? All you alright?

I said while walking closer to him. My heart dropped when I seen what was in his hand..it was a chunk of Emily’s hair covered in blood, but Emily wasn’t in sight. I started to panic.

Brianna: WHERE IS SHE?!

Then he gripped Emily’s bloody hair in his hand, and with that hand he pointed at the large body of water ahead as he stated…

Jason: I just couldn’t take it anymore

As the water in my eyes filled I jumped into the water and opened my eyes as widely as I can and had my hands out in front of me, trying to feel for my best friend. Brian ran in after me to help and Jason just sat their watching. After a while I noticed bubbles popping to the top of the water so I quickly swam over to grab who I thought was my best friend, but was horrified when I finally seen what I grabbed.

It was nothing but her head. I quickly dropped it and got out of that water as quickly as I can out of breath, Brian can behind me comforting me as I bursted into tears. Emily was my best friend, I grew up with her, we have been through everything together, and now she was gone. Her life taken, and I felt it was my fault.

Brianna: I should have never left them alone.

???: Brianna? What’s wrong?

I heard that voice before, we all have. I looked up only to see… Emily.

Brianna: EMILY?!

I quickly jumped up and ran to give her a hug

Emily: why are you covered in water? And is that blood? What’s going on?

Jason didn’t budge though, as if he knew it wasn’t Emily that I have discovered.

Brianna: if your here, then who was that?

Jason turned and looked at all of us as he dropped the hair in the water and rinced off his hands. Then, he got up and just walked away wothout a word
