Dreaming

The trip

ASHTON's POV

It's not fair; I am being forced against my will to go to a stupid resort. Dad says I have no choice and I have to go.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

Later that night, I am in my room and Chester walks into it without knocking. He has formed a habit of coming into my room.

'' Hi '' he says.

'' I know you are excited about this trip and you are not going to talk me into going '' I tell him bluntly.

He looks at me '' I didn't come in here to talk you into doing anything '' he says with the same innocent look.

I raise an eyebrow '' really....or are you just saying that ''

He chuckles '' no brother......but I'd really like it if you come '' he says with a blush.

'' One, I am not your brother and two, I really don't wanna go '' I tell him honestly.

He looks at me with a hurt expression '' well......you are my brother and I want you to come '' he says as he tries to hide how hurt he is.

I smile '' you are persistent Chester '' I say.

He grins '' I know.....but if you think about it, you can always hide from your dad. The place is big enough '' he explains.

That doesn't seem like a bad idea. '' How do you know it's big '' I ask him.

He smiles and walks over to my laptop on the desk. He opens it and looks at me '' I'm just gonna Google it '' he says as he types something in.

I walk over to him and stand beside him. He finally opens the site and turns the computer towards me '' see....it's a pretty big hiding place '' he exclaims.

I look at the pictures and actually find the place to be beautiful. It looks like an island and they have a lot of great places for site seeing.

'' Don't you like '' he asks when I remain quiet.

'' It's alright '' I answer.

He nods and stands up from the chair '' I'm gonna go pack and I think you should too. You know how your dad can be ''

I smile and he looks at me with accomplishment. '' fine....I'll go with you, but only because you asked so nicely '' I say jokingly.

He chuckles '' cool....I'll let your dad know '' he says as he runs out of my room.

I smile at how funny Chester is. He is alright.

Guess I should just pack for this stupid trip, even though I hate the people I am going with. I am just going to have to endure all the torture.

The next morning, I feel someone pushing me and when I open my eyes, I see a very excited Chester peering over me.

'' What the hell '' I yelp.

He laughs '' morning....I'm sorry for frightening you but your dad said I should come wake you up '' he says excitedly.

I groan and use the covers over my head. They are forcing me to go on a stupid trip and now they won't let me get some f*****g sleep.

'' Come on.....our flight leave in an hour '' he tells me seriously.

I groan again and I hear him chuckle. He must be finding this funny. Because I am pissed as hell and I won't go anywhere until I get my sleep.

'' Go to hell '' I grumble.

He chuckles again '' I'll go get your dad '' he says and I hear the door close.

I close my eyes and realize that I have lost all the sleep in my eyes. I groan and pull the covers as I get up from the bed.

This is so frustrating.

I walk into my bathroom and open the tap. I need to have a quick shower before my dad comes in and starts with his rubbish.

I take off all my clothes and enter the shower. The water is warm and I close my eyes as I let it soak in.

I remember my mother and I suddenly realize that I won't be able to visit her because of this stupid trip.

The tears fall and I let them. I am so angry and now I don't want to go anymore. How can I leave her behind? I think dad is doing this intentionally and I am going to tell him off.

I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist =. I wipe the tears properly and walk out of my room.

I go over to his room and knock loudly. He opens the door and smiles when he sees me '' morning son '' he says.

I roll my eyes angrily '' dad.....I changed my mind '' I tell him.

He creases his eyebrows '' what do you mean '' he asks obviously confused.

I look at him bored '' I am not going anymore '' I tell him dryly.

He frowns '' why not.....you said you were alright with going ''

I nod ''yeah....but I changed my mind. I have too much to do hear ''

He shakes his head '' is this about your mother again '' he asks.

'' I'm not going to answer that pathetic question but you won't force me to go somewhere that I don't want to go ''

He smiles and I look at him confused '' why are you smiling '' I ask him.

He chuckles '' you know.....your mom was right '' he tells me still smiling.

'' What do you mean '' I ask him.

'' never mind....look ash, I am not going to argue with you but I need you to know that it is not an option. You have no say in the matter,'' he says with a serious tone.

I look at him disbelievingly and walk back to my room. What the hell does he mean, I do have a choice.

I have a say in my life.

I'M NOT GOING.

The plane landed about thirty minutes ago and we are on the road about to get to the stupid resort. When my dad said I didn't have a say, I didn't actually believe him but since I am here, I guess he was right.

'' I hate my life '' I mumble angrily.

Chester chuckled '' don't feel too bad at least your dad didn't drag you out of the house '' he tries to comfort me.

I roll my eyes '' but he practically threatened me ''

Chester smiles and faces the mirror and looks at the view. We were in a jeep, dad was driving, and his lame ass wife is in the front seat. I and Chester are at the back.

I suddenly look at the out the window too and see the place. It is the same as the pictures online and I feel a little excited.

Just a little.

The car parked in front of the hotel and I opened my mouth in shock. It is more beautiful than all the pictures. The place is called Hyatt regency coconut point resort and spa. It is beyond beautiful.

We walked into the hotel and it is bright and shiny. The valet takes the car from dad and they take our luggage too. We walk through the lobby and I stare around in amazement. This felt like heaven.

Dad tells us to sit on the couches in the middle of the lobby and I follow Chester and his mom. We sit down and I watch dad talk to the manager.

The man gives him some keys and dad comes back to us '' well come on...lets head on up to our rooms '' he says with a wide smile on his face.

I roll my eyes again. Yeah, you guessed I roll my eyes a lot. I feel like it calms me down whenever I do it.

We walk to the elevator and we all get in at the same time. Dad tells the guy in the elevator our floor and he presses the button.

The elevator stops on the 12th floor. We walk in the hallways and dad stops at room number 168. He looks at me and says '' you don't mind sharing a room with Chester ''

'' Whatever....it's not like I have a say in this too '' I tell him rudely.

Chester chuckles and his mother glare at him sternly. He hides his face and my dad smiles '' well that's settled. Here is your room key ''

He hands one key to me and gives the other to Chester. I collect my key and open the door quickly. He looks like he is about to say something but I bang the door on his face.

Our bags are already in the room and I walk over to mine and pull it to one of the beds. I direct my attention from the bags and look at the room.

It is HUGE.

Like huge, there are two double signature beds and a work table in the middle. There is an armchair fitted with linens and down duvets. There is a 37'' flat screen TV on the wall, a DVD player and an I home stereo with iPod docking point.

At the far end of the room, there is a coffee machine and a refrigerator. There are air conditioners and ceiling fans. Is it possible to need both?

Chester walks into the room '' wow '' he exclaims in shock.

I roll my eyes at him and walk into the bathroom, the bathroom is awesome. The walls and floors are made of marbles and there is a shower port and a bathtub. How awesome is that?

'' Ash, check this out '' Chester shouts from the room.

I go back to the room and see him watching TV '' check what out '' I ask him in annoyance.

He smiles and his eyes never leave the screen '' there's cable here......awesome '' he looks back at the screen and I walk over to the balcony.

I open the large doors and walk into it. The wind hits me and I smile. I place my hands on the railings and let out a breath. The view is amazing and very hard to explain.

I smile and feel a tear fall from my face '' I love you mama'' I whisper to myself.

It's strange but I kinda imagine my whisper traveling and somehow my mother is somewhere smiling down at me.

BRODY'S POV.

I finally know where I am but I don't know how the hell I am in Miami. I don't know where I came from but I have a feeling that this isn't where I belong.

This isn't a dream and I know for a fact because it's too long to be a dream. I can't even sleep, I've tried and it is pointless.

I'm a walking zombie stuck in hell.

Its morning and I am taking a walk around the lobby, just wishing someone actually sees me when a boy walks my way. He looks miserable and it's strange because everyone here is always happy.

I decide to follow him and he walks out of the hotel. I don't need to hide because he can't see me, so I follow him and he walks out to the pool house and I follow him.

He turns around with a confused expression on his face but he shrugs and keeps walking. He looks around and shakes his head.

He walks out again and this time he walks through the forests and leans against a tree. I stare at him and he looks up and it almost seems like he can see me.

He raises an eyebrow and the next words he utters, renders me speechless '' why the f**k are you following me ''
