Chapter 7

When I woke up we had pulled to a stop in a dingy hotel. Alecia hopped out the car and slammed the door, followed by Christian. I was slow to leave the car. I walked sheepishly towards Alecia, almost falling over. She grips my arm and helps me stand. I can feel her nails pressing into my skin, I wince. She glares at me, I see the anger in her eyes. Her forehead scrunched up making little wrinkles on her forehead. It's a humid night in late July, I was wearing shorts and a grey tank top. But I was still somewhat warm. I could feel my shoes were filled with my sweat. I felt like a warm, sweaty, dirty mess. I want to believe this is just a nightmare and I’ll wake up in my bed any second now. But Alecia snaps me out of my trance as she drags me forward. We go through two glass door that obviously haven’t been cleaned in months or years. The place smells like cigarette smoke masked by air-fresher. There's clearly no AC in this place its at least 80 degrees inside of the disgusting hotel. When we reach the front desk, we are greeted by a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and some khakis. He looks to be in his early fifties, his hairline is starting to recede but he appears to desperately try to cover it up with the normal ‘’comb-over’’ Christian speaks first his voice raw from hardly speaking in the car

‘’We’d like a room..’’ he says trying to fake a smile.

The man looks at Christian then to Alecia then to me. He smiles back at Christian

‘’Family Vacation,Huh?’’

‘’Yeah, you could say that’’ Christian replies with a slight smirk on his face

I'm too tired to turn my face up in disgust, so I just stand there while Alecia is desperately trying to look ‘’motherly’’ The man asks for Christian's identification and Christian hands it to him. The man doesn't seem to notice that Christian has someone else's ID. The clerk proceeds to ask Christian for a credit card. Christian pays. The clerk hands Christian the room key, in return Christian replies with a generic ‘’Thank you, and have a goodnight!’’

When we reach the front door of our room it’s marked with a big ‘’Room 05’’ in faux gold letters. Christian unlocks the door with his key, opens it. A smile crosses his face. He shoves me into Alecia causing her to fall over into the room while I trip over her ankle.

‘’Ladies first!’’ he says snickering as I lift myself off the ground.
