In the morning I woke up at my usual time. Jake was still sound asleep, but my parents were up packing up the few things we had with so we could get back on the road. At first I didn’t remember, but suddenly the thought took over my mind. What had happened last night? Looking out the window would have kept me awake all night, wondering didn’t bother me, it was knowing that did. I wasn’t sure if my parents knew anything of what had happened because they were still asleep. I decided to ask anyways.
“Um,” I paused. “Umm, do you know what happened last night?” I whispered. They looked at me with confused faces.
“Last night I heard police cars driving up to the hotel, and there were lights shinning against the building. There were some voices and then I heard the cars pull away, but I don’t know what happened,” I said. Now their expressions had gone from confusion to shock.
“Well, you could ask at the front desk this morning,” my mom said. I nodded. I stood there for a moment. I opened my mouth to say something but no words would come out. Finally I managed to say,
“I’m going to go get all my stuff together,” They nodded. Once I left the room I heard them whispering in worried tones. Back in my room Jake was sitting up in bed with wide eyes staring at me.
“What,” I asked even though I knew what he was going to say.
“Did that really happen, I heard everything you said,” I simply nodded then went to gather all my stuff.
In ten minutes we all grabbed out things and walked down to the lobby. I was not the only one who had heard or even seen what happened last night. It seemed like the entire hotel was down there, asking for information, or demanding to know why the hotel didn’t have better security. We made our way to an empty space at the front desk.
“Hello,” the woman said.
“We’re checking out,” said my dad. After we were checked out the women said,
“I assume you also want to know what happened last night,” We all nodded. She then preceded to tell us exactly what had happened.
“You see,” she began. “It was really nothing. Just a couple of people having a giant party it got a bit out of hand. Someone thought they heard something they didn't so they called the police. But it was nothing, so there's no need to worry. There was never any danger,” she finished. I was relieved. It was nothing. My family and I walked to our car . We pulled out of the parking lot and got back on the highway. The car was silent. Even though it was nothing I knew I was and was sure everyone else was still thinking about. I was just relieved nothing had actually happened.
