Page 35 of The Legend
Swayconvinced me to go down to the lobby and eat breakfast with her, so I did, butwhen we got back to the hotel to start packing, I wasn’t excited with what Iwitnessed. I was Mortified yes.
Our roomwas right next to Aiden and Emma’s room. When we entered our room, we walked inand crashed on the bed, neither of us wanting to move. For one, my leg was soreand I had a headache that felt like someone was beating nails into my skull.Sway, recovering from her allergic reaction that turned out to be something inthe water, felt the same way. “I just want to go home.” She said with a heavysigh.
“Me too,” Iagreed rolling to my side to face her. Even with her blotchy skin and swolleneyes, she was still incredibly beautiful. “When does our flight leave again?”
She lookedover at the clock and sighed again. “We have about four hours until we shouldleave.”
“I canthink of a few things to take up that time.”
And that’swhen we heard…
“Oh baby!Oh…Jesus…yes…just like that!”
Yeah, thatwas my sister screaming. The next few seconds went by brutally slow and Icovered my ears but heard noises I never wanted to hear.
“Notagain!” I groaned covering my head with a pillow.
Swaystarted laughing hysterically.
Nothing isworse than hearing someone having sex, when you’re not, and then knowing it’s yoursister and brother in law. Like battery acid, the worst fucking images getimbedded into your brain.
The noiseswere close to the wall and just about the time, I was ready to lock myself inthe bathroom, we heard wood splintering and an ear splitting crashing noise. Iwasn’t sure if the hotel was collapsing or what. Frantically my eyes dartedaround the room searching for the noise when I saw the adjoining door collapsedabout ten feet from our bed. Aiden and Emma, naked, on top of it looking aroundas though they had no idea what had just happened.
“Oh my God!”Iscreamed like a dying feral cat. “Cover up! Cover up!”
“We’retrying!” they both screamed.”
Sway, allcalm and relaxed, peeked over me to look down at the floor. “You’re right Emma,he does where his socks when you bone.”
I wantedto claw my fucking eyes out at the vision before me. My sister was naked butworse, Aiden’s ass in my face as he tried to scramble back inside his own room.
Squeezingmy eyes shut, I ran full speed toward our bathroom, smacked right into thewall, and nearly knocked myself unconscious. If I was being completely honest,my plan was to knock myself out. I didn’t want to remember this vacation. Isilently hoped it would be like a traumatic post war syndrome and could I blockit out, it didn’t help.
After thatvacation, I was thankful it was time to go home. Still not on speaking termswith Aiden or Emma, I vowed never to fly anywhere with them again but I knewthat wouldn’t last long. Much to my liking, they were a bit self-conscious overthe incident and kept to themselves. Sway couldn’t stop laughing. Every timeshe looked at Aiden, she laughed. Every time she looked at Emma, she laughed.
They didnot.
I alsonever planned to go anywhere that had animals of any sort. Sway was right, Iwasn’t one with the nature and those evil bastards confirmed that. I was meantto be on a track and only a track.
Swaylooked at her iPad when we were waiting for the plane to take off and gasped,“Uh, well, apparently the kids set the street on fire.”
“Kids,” Isat straight up in the seat adjusting my sore leg that would need to be lookedat when we returned. My head felt like someone hit me with an ax and I couldbarely walk on my leg this morning. It wasn’t me just being a baby either. Itwas red and swollen and that shit wasn’t looking good, “My kids?”
“Uh-huh.”
“How’dthey manage that?” I wasn’t all that interested because it wasn’t the firsttime they had set something on fire. But a street…that was a first. Despite allof that and the disastrous vacation from hell, it felt good sitting here besideSway. It felt good being disengaged for a few days and provided a distraction.One hell of a distraction but regardless, it was nice.
“Oh look,”she pulled up the local news website, “it made the news and there’s a video.”
6.Red and Yellow Flag – Jameson
Red andYellow Flag – This flag is displayed to signify debris (oil, sand, water, orother substances) on the track.
On the wayhome from Costa Rica we spent more time looking over the news of our street seton fire by our kids than remembering the horrible vacation we had justexperienced.
The videodidn’t show how it caught on fire, just the aftermath, or I guess you would saytheduringmath? It was still on fire but beingcontained, so they said. At least no houses were in danger because after all,it was a private piece of land, my private piece of land.
The more Ithought about it on the flight home, the more upset I became.
