It was summer of 2015. Three most beautiful and popular girls from Seashore High decided to go on a long road trip. Just the three of them. Their names were Olivia, Megan, and Grace. Otherwise known as the "OMG" squad. Olivia and Grace were both blondes while Megan was abrunette. They all been friends since junior high.

They lived on the West Coast near the beach and wanted to go somewhere more isolated. So they all agreed upon going to a sort of country, woodsy, open field area. The name of the place is Honey Meadow Creek. It has a huge creek in the middle. That's exactly where they planned on staying. In a log cabin close to the creek.

They each brought a luggage with them and some duffel bags. In them were clothes, personal hygiene care, canned food, marshmallows, Graham crackers, chocolate, flashlights, pillows, blankets, matches, and pocket knives. They had all they needed to go on this mini vacation. They drove a red sports car there. It was brand new and very clean. Olivia was the driver. She wore her Chanel sunglasses and had her Louis Vuitton bag.

Megan sat in the passenger seat while Grace was in the back with all of their belongings. For most of the drive, they had the hood down. Olivia was speeding also. Showing off her car. So Grace held on tight to the luggages. Olivia was screaming at the top of her lungs while she drove. She was way too excited and a bit high. They all done weed beforehand.

Once they arrived to their destination, they unpacked their stuff and set up their rooms. Olivia and Megan shared a room and Grace had her own. Grace's room was much smaller since she was alone. She didn't mind though. She is used to being kinda like the Guinea pig to Olivia. Megan doesn't really stand up for Grace.

They felt like home in no time. It was still afternoon when they first got there. They went on a little walk around the place. It was huge. There were barely anyone else there. They saw a total of seven other people in the whole area. There was a couple, a family of four, and a guy who was by himself. The area alone was gorgeous. The trees were super tall and green, the creek was clear, the air was fresh, the cool breeze felt nice, and the big open fields were so beautiful with the grass and flowers swaying in the wind.

It was everything and more than they expected. After taking a walk around, they went back to their cabin and got things to make hot dogs. They rarely eat junk food such as hot dogs but this week was their only exception. As they were preparing the fire to cook their food, they heard what sounded like footsteps running through the leaves. Megan turned around to take a look.

There was nothing.

It was getting darker now and the smell of something burning was in the air. It was Olivia's leg! Her leg got caught in the fire. She screamed in pain and quickly removed her right leg. She started crying while screaming at the same time.

"Hurry!!! Get me some water! Now!" She called out.

Grace ran back inside the cabin and filled a cup with some cold water. She then poured it onto Olivia's burnt skin. It burned. It felt like hell. Olivia had tears running down her cheek. Somehow, the water made it worse. Grace and Megan both helped carry Olivia inside and layed her down on the couch. Megan went into the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. She grabbed a few things to treat Olivia's burn.

She took a cloth and poured alcohol on it. She gently dabbed it onto Olivia's leg. The burning sensation intensified. She also put a little cream on it to help heal the wound. After that, she wrapped her leg in bandages and sealed it. Olivia felt exhausted and fell asleep. Grace placed a pillow behind Olivia's head and tucked her in with a blanket. Olivia woke up later on in the middle of the night. She was so confused and yelled out her friend's names.

"Grace? Megan? Where are you guys? It's cold in here. Like, super freezing..."

Grace and Megan woke up and turned on the lights. Olivia looked paler than ever. She could barely stand up and was holding onto the table.

"Olivia! You should lay back down." Megan said.

Grace watched from the background as Olivia tried to get back to the couch. She never really got along with Olivia. The only reason Grace was friends with them is because she is pretty and had money. She knew that also. Megan and Olivia are long time best friends. Grace just appeared and randomly became part of their group. She continued standing there not doing anything. Olivia took notice and said something to her.

"Grace! What are you doing just standing there looking at me?! You are no help at all. You never were! I don't know why you still hang out with us! You are completely useless!! Just because you have a pretty face don't mean anything! Now come here and do something!"

Grace felt hurt from Olivia's words. She held back her tears and walked towards Olivia and Megan. She assisted Olivia and brought her to the bathroom since Olivia had to pee. She was also in the bathroom while Olivia did her business. Holding onto her arm. Olivia let go of her arm and managed to walk back to the couch by herself. It took her a little while but she made it. Megan sat next to Olivia and told her stories from their childhood. Olivia was smiling and laughing.

Grace was all alone in her room.

She sat in the corner hugging her legs and cried. She cried quietly so they wouldn't hear her. Out of nowhere she heard a tapping sound on her window. It was 2am now... what could that possibly be? She peeked out her window and saw a man standing in front. He wore all black and had an animal mask on. She felt scared and closed the curtains. The tapping sound persisted. She opened her door to warn Olivia and Megan about what she saw. They were still there talking.

They payed no attention as Grace was telling them about the mysterious guy. Olivia rolled her eyes and Megan turned her head. Grace tried speaking up but her voice is naturally quiet and sweet sounding. She sounded like a little mouse trying to talk to two lions.

"Guys... I saw what I saw and I know that I am not dreaming. It's true. There is someone out there right now wearing a mask. Please listen to me..."

Olivia looked at Grace.

"Grace, honey, you must be delusional. Stop trying to scare us with your nonsense. It's not funny nor is it believable. You're crazy and I've heard enough. Now please leave us alone. Okay sweetie?"

Grace looked down at the floor. This is a constant thing with her. Olivia is crueler than ever. The more they get older, the meaner Olivia becomes. Megan just allows it to happen and sometimes adds on to the tension.

Megan also had a word with Grace.

"Like come on Grace. Stop acting like a little girl who still gets nightmares. It's not cute. Go back to your room and cry if you want. We don't care. Just get away from here."

Grace listened to Megan and went back into her room. She locked herself in. The curtains in her room were open and so was the window! "Omg..." she thought. She hid in her bed and covered herself with the blanket. She felt something next to her. The man was there laying down right beside her. She tried to scream but he taped her mouth shut with duct tape. He then took her arms from behind and tied them with a rope. He also tied her legs to the bed. She was stuck.

He removed his mask and smiled at her. Surprisingly Grace knew him. He went to their school. He's three years older than her though. She used to have a crush on him when she was still a freshman. He was a senior. She stared at him for a long time.

He took his finger and traced the outline of her body. He removed her dress and used it to cover her eyes. He left her like that with the window wide open. It was cold that night. Very cold. Grace got goosebumps and started shaking. He stayed in her room for three hours waiting for the other two girls to fall asleep.

It was nearly 4am now and he opened the bedroom door. He had a knife in his hand and looked for the girls. Grace was there in her room making muffling sounds and desperately tried to escape. She was tied down pretty tight though. So it was no use. He went into the upstairs bathroom and turned on the shower on full blast. He only turned on the hot water. Steam rises from the bathroom and spread throughout the whole cabin. Only parts of the house had poison water. The downstairs bathroom is okay while the upstairs one is deadly. He then disappeared.

Grace became so cold she almost died. Her skin was super pale turning blue. The man remembered about her and the hot steamy kiss they shared back then. He came back through the window and closed it. He put the dress back on her and cut the rope off. Grace held his hand. He slowly removed the tape from her mouth and he got in the bed with her. He placed the blanket on top of her and held onto her waist hugging her. She turned back into her normal self after 20 minutes. She turned around and looked back at him. He was still as handsome as ever. Maybe even more.

The smell of his cologne tempted her but she held back. They continued kissing until they heard someone turn off the shower. They both froze. Grace's eyes grew wide open. The guy held onto her and hid under the blanket. The sound of walking footsteps upstairs kept them awake.

"I missed you so much Grace. You were always on my mind. Not a day went by where I didn't think about you."

"It's too dangerous for us to be seen together... my friends hate you. You used me. I was still innocent back then and you took that away from me by forcing me to do things I didn't want to do." Grace explained.

The guy hushed her and told her that everything will be fine as long as they stick together. Grace was unsure. She missed him also but didn't know if she could trust him. He lied to her in the past, countless times. She loved him so much even after all the bad things he made her do. She still loved him at this very moment. They were meant to be in some twisted messed up way. They were perfect for each other.

"You're way prettier than those two other girls will ever be. Come on now Grace. You have nothing to lose. You know your parents like me. I continue to visit them from time to time. Give me a chance. I'm begging you." He said.

Grace accepted him back and they both escaped from the room. He gave her a piggy back ride and they ended up in his place. His place is way nicer than the one she was staying at. They slept on his king size bed and woke up with a smile on their face. It felt good for the both of them being back together. It was somewhat nostalgic.

In the morning, Megan went downstairs and started coughing. When she turned off the shower last night, a drop touched her skin. It's been irritating ever since. She kept scratching it. Olivia felt a little bit better when she woke up. She gained a bit more strength in her right leg. She went down into Grace's room. Grace wasn't there.

To be continue......
