Chapter 9

RRRRIIING! "hello?" answered alana trying not to get her sparkley silver blue nailpolish on the phone. "Hey it's christiana." "You do remember me right?" alana looked in the mirror and tried to fix her hair as she was talking. "Ofcourse i do summer only started three weeks ago!" "oh okay just checking, anyway i just wanted to tell u that i was coming to the beach party okay?" "fine with me the more the better!" "okay well seeya alana." alana hung up the phone and started to put on new brown mascara. "i can't put on mascara im going swimming in the ocean." so alana took it off and tried the "down to earth" look. just then the phone rang again. "Hello?" she asked. 'Hey it's bob how are you?" alana looked shocked and happy at the same time. "im great it's nice to hear from u again." alana and bob knew eachother from way back,but she never got to meet scott until the party. "Well your mom called sheila and she said that she knows what's going on and that you can't have the party at the beach houshe because she's using it for her co-workers and she said that they deserved a party not to mentoin a day off from work so, he took a breath, i guess the party's canceled." alana's mom and the sheila both knew eachother from their parents so they were good friends. "no way, it's not canceled, what am i going to do! oh my god!!! "It's okay i've got a better idea, there's this island that me and my brothers go to and we have lots of parties there so if u want to rent a boat and have it at our island you can." "oh my god thank you sooo much you'd really do that for me thank you." ' what does the island look like?" alana asked happily, now packing her bags and getting her pink glittery phone book out. " Well, the sand is pure white, and the water is crystal blue and shells ,not broken ones, are all placed along the beach, there's tropical plants,lagoon like pools of water and cliffs that end in waterfalls with dozens of rainbows scattering over it, flowers that u have never seen before and hundreds of wild life beauty." he stopped and felt his stomach drop, he had made a misteake. Maybe the thought of having beer cans and vomit, used condoms and blood all over his one fantasy, his one escape from lifes torture was too much to give up. "are you sure you really have to have this party?" he asked trying to hide how much passion he has for beauty. "Umm is something wrong bob?" "I can't let you take it away!" he screamed into the phone trying to keep his voice steady to keep himself from crying. "What are you talking about?" "If you come, you're going to ruin it and i can never be set free in my heaven." "please don't come, please don't make me suffer my moms death again!" Bob started crying and tried to stop but couldn't, his mom had taken him and his brothers there and said that it was theres until forever and ever since she died, bob would go up to the water falls and skip stones into the giant lake of pure water at the bottom. There he'd think and feel safe. Alana felt shocked. She never knew this side of bob before this spiratule side of him and she she felt simpathy for him. Bob was so scared, he almost gave up his one memory of his mother to a party that would soon be forgotten just because he wanted to be like his brother scott the cool one and thought to himself that scott would have done the misteake that he had just done.Bob felt sick. "i'm sorry bob i didn't..." bob interrupted. "Okay, bob breathed slowly, if you promise not to tell anyone about this, i can let you come with me to the island the next time we go and i want...Need to tell you something private." He told her the secret and waited for her response. Alana was so startled she wanted to cry.Just the thought of someone wanting to share something so valuable with her was enough to make her decide an important decision that would change her life forever. She breathed and said she would go with him and that was all that they said to each other until the day had come to go to..........to Paradise.
