Highway Motel

It was a sunny day, clear skies, warm weather. It was perfect. Then the world just decided that it was going to go against the group of 6.


The moment the day was over and summer break began, Rhea, Coven, Aiden, Quinn, Roman, and Angel had decided to go on a road trip in Covens dad's Toyota Sienna. It took weeks of convincing their parents that they were responsible enough to go on a mini road trip on their own, planning this trip since they were sophomores, now going to their senior year.


Turns out the reason for this trip being horrible wasn't actually their fault.


Coven pulled over on the side of the road, leaving the 5 stranded on an empty street in the night.


Aiden and Quinn were looking under the hood to see the problem. Well, it was more of Aiden trying to help his girlfriend the best he could while Quinn looked for the actual problem.


"Do you guys know what's wrong with the car?" Rhea asked, turning the key as she tried to turn it on.


"Well okay how about we try to start the fucking car when it clearly doesn't work. That's very smart of you Rhea." Coven said, pissed at the situation at hand as Rhea showed him her favorite finger.


"Listen, the last thing we need you guys doing is ripping each other's heads off. The enmity between you two is so obvious." Roman said, standing back and watching Quinn work.


"The fuck does enmity that even mean?" Rhea asked, pronouncing the word as en-mitty.


"I'm surprised you didn't stay back this year." Coven comments and Rhea hit him in the back of the head.


A high pitched screech came from the distance, catching everyone's attention.


Once everyone realized it was just a frustrated Angel they all resumed what they were previously doing.


"We're all going to die!" Angel cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.


Aiden pulled her into a warm embrace, keeping himself from laughing at how she was taking this whole situation.


"Nope, not turning on. The entire battery's busted." Quinn announced, panicking everyone more, Angel the most.


"Well, my phone says there's a motel just 2 miles from here. We can put the car in neutral and push it there if anyone's willing to." Roman says, looking around.


Seeing as nobody else wants to push the car, Quinn sighs, rolling up her sleeves. "I'll do it." She says, getting behind the car.


"I can help!" Aiden said, going behind the car with her. He gave her a bright smile, just happy to help despite the situation they were in.


The group walked for around 50 minutes, Aiden and Quinn pushing the car while Coven and Rhea bickered as Roman tried to defuse the constant argument as he carried a crying Angel on his back while holding her heels.


Finally, they reached the motel. The man at the front desk was creepy with a sleazy smile and a messy beard. For once, Rhea leaned into Coven, already creeped out by the man at the front desk.


"Um... how many rooms can we get?" Roman asked the man.


"3 rooms available. 2 beds in each." The receptionist said, scanning everyone in the group one by one, spending extra time staring at the ladies in the group.


"Aiden and I can share a room then." Quinn said, Aiden nodding and giving everyone a thumbs up to show he agreed.


"Great. We'll take 3 rooms then." Roman says, getting the keys to room and handing them out. The rooms were luckily right next to one another, keeping the group close.


Once they peeked into the rooms, Angel felt as if she wanted to vomit.


It looked clean enough but Angel normally lived in luxurious rooms. Not... this.


"No funny business you two." Coven joked with Aiden and Quinn, eventually joining Roman in the room.


It didn't take long for any of them to fall asleep, exhausted by the walk and everything else that occurred that day...






Tears began to spill out of Angel's eyes as she watched the news from her hospital bed.


"5 teenagers were brutally murdered last night at highway motel. Witnesses say they heard screams of horror from inside the motel. There is only one survivor, Angel Vargas who managed to call the police and get medical attention. Police say they still haven't found the culprit and are trying their hardest to bring justice to these teens."


Months after the events and nobody has heard from Angel. Rumors spread quickly around the school, saying that she was the one to murder her friends and disappeared out of guilt. Little did they know that she joined her friends, jumping off the ledge she sat on.



THE END.


(I greatly apologize if this was a little ehh but I wanted to keep it short so I rushed a bit. Sorry.)
