THE HAPPENING
chapter 5
Melissa laid down on the edge of the bed she was sharing with the two other girls, it was the middle of the night and she knew she wouldn’t be able to fall back to sleep so she walked outside onto the porch. Kelsey walked outside and stood beside her.
“You know, I’ve always loved the night, it’s so nice in the summer, the tempter cools down and the world quiets and you are in the dark, and you, you, alone get to create the way you look at it because the only image you have is darkness! Which is like no image at all? You probably think I’m weird but that’s how I look at it,” Kelsey smiled and leaned against the rail on the porch.
“It’s not weird,” Melissa replied and gazed deeply into the darkness.
“People wonder how I stay with Nate, after what he did! But he is amazing! He gets what he did was wrong he paid for it and pays for it every single day! He has to live with himself everyday knowing what he did! But I love him so much to much, I hate that he stills pains over what he did! I love him, no matter what he did, I love him!” Kelsey looked into the darkness with Melissa.
“I get how it feels for him,” Melissa gazed at the water and wiped the hair out of her face!
“How?” Kelsey asked.
“Just because,” Melissa answered.
“You, today when we did the toast, why water, everyone else was drinking?” Kelsey asked.
“Because I’m not everyone else!” Melissa turned towards Kelsey.
“What’s your secret?” Kelsey scratched the back of her head.
“Goodnight,” Melissa walked inside and laid down on her cramped bed.
Corine opened her eyes and whispered, “What’s going on?”
“Oh uh, nothing,” Melissa yawned and closed her eyes!

The next morning Josh got up really early and walked downstairs into the houses kitchen where Corine was sitting eating.
“Hey,” He sat down next to her.
“Hi,” She grumbled.
“How are we going to get out of here?” Josh asked.
“I have no clue,” Corine shoved her spoon full of corn flakes into her mouth.
“We should probably scout the island for boats, maps, radios, phones, more food, all that!” Josh moved closer to Corine.
“Cool, you can discuss that with the group today!” Corine got up to put her empty bowl into the sink.
“So, do you have a boyfriend?” Josh asked standing up next to corine.
Corine took a spoon full of cookie dough out of the freezer and stuck it in her mouth, “Nope.”
“Cool, you know I don’t have girl,” Josh grabbed the spoon out of her mouth.
“Really,” Corine played along.
“Yeah, no girl here,” He leaned in to kiss her.
Corine pushed him away, “Pervert!”
“Hey guys,” Kelsey walked down stairs.
“Hey, Kelsey be careful he’s hungry,” Corine spat and sat down on the couch.
“Ok, so I thought we could try to find our way off the island today!” Kelsey smiled.
