The+Summer+Lost+Him

The Summer I Lost Him By: Jenae Nelson “Mikayla, Tiffany, Anna can you please come down for breakfast?” Mom yelled leaning half way up the stairs. “We’ll be right down Mom. We’re just talking about what happened over the summer.” I hollered back. “Okay, but come down soon or the food will get cold please!” She said again. “Yeah, Mom we know.” All of us said in unison. Now, you’re wondering, what happened over the summer, right? Well I’ll tell you the story of the worst summer of my life, here it goes. Seven of my best friends in the world (Tiffany, Mason, Cara, Zac, Anna, Jay, and Sam) joined me traveling to an island called Jemza for two months over the summer and the last two weeks the worst thing that could ever happen, happened! You’re probably curious what is Jemza. Well it’s the most perfect island in the world. On the island there is everything anyone would ever want but everything has flaws and this island has the worst flaw of all. Anyway, the girls and I were all out at the beach, while the boys were playing golf, and then it happened. Sam (my boyfriend) hit his ball far out into the forest so he went to go find it. He took a while and then he called, “Hey guys I need some help. I can’t find the ball.” And Zac yelled “Dude just forget it we can always buy new golf balls!” Five minutes later he still wasn’t out and the guys just thought “Oh, He’s probably just trying to find it.” So they waited for him to come out since no one was playing behind them. They waited ten, fifteen minutes for him then they were nervous and worried. “What was taking him so long, why hadn’t he come out when they told him to, what could have happened in the scary, dark forest that made everyone so freaked out. Finally Jay and Mason said “We have to go in and look for him, he might be lost or something could have happened to him.” They walked into the forest and after five minutes they found… Sam’s body lifeless and chewed up in to pieces!!!!! “What could’ve done this?!” Mason screamed. Sam and Mason had known each other for as long as they could remember. Jay and Zac came running and when they saw Sam, their jaws dropped open. “Oh my god, who or should I say what did this to him, they ripped him up and tore him apart!” Zac said. It sounds horrible but it gets worse! “Guys we better get out of here. We don’t want that to happen to us!” Zac said. “Yeah but who’s going to tell the girls especially Mikayla. If he’s not at lunch they’ll all be wondering and we can’t lie to them.” Mason said, holding back tears. “It’s okay Mas; we’re all going to miss him just as much. Now all we got to do is figure out how to tell the girls and how to get off this island so no one else gets hurt or dies like Sam.” Jay had said. * * * *     We girls met up with the guys for lunch after tanning and swimming for three hours that morning. At lunch Sam never showed up and I was sort of worried, so while we were walking down the beach I went up to Mason and asked… “Mason where’s Sam he’s always at lunch, I mean he usually gets to every meal five minutes early for dibs?” Mason started to cry his eyes out and I didn’t understand why, I was very confused. “Mason don’t cry, what happened to Sam? I need to know.” I told him and under the sobs I could just make out that he said “Mikayla, h-he’s d-d-dead…!” I couldn’t believe what I had just heard so I yelled to everyone, since they were all behind us, to catch up and that I had just heard the worst news ever. They all caught up and the guys knew exactly what I was talking about. Jay asked “Did you tell her about Sam, Mas?” Anna, Tiff and Cara right away yelled “What happened to Sam?!!?” and Jay broke the news to them, Sam was dead. * * * *     At dinner that night everyone was motionless. Mitch, our waiter all vacation, didn’t understand why. “Guys, Gals you aren’t like your usual selves tonight what’s wrong? And where is Sam” Mitch asked. “Well…” Tiff started before she burst into tears. “Well what she’s trying to say is that Sam isn’t with us anymore. He was murdered this afternoon while we were out playing golf.” Zac finished for her. “Oh my, what happened?” Mitch asked. “Okay so we were out playing golf and Sam hit his ball into the forest so he went to go find it. He yelled out to us that he couldn’t find it and we told him to just forget it, we could always buy new ones. But he must have really liked that ball because he stayed in there for so long. We waited for fifteen but we got worried so the three of us guys went in to look for him and after five minutes Mason yelled ‘What could have done this?!’ and Jay and I came running to find scattered pieces of Sam’s body laying all around… he was eaten and torn apart!” Zac answered. “Wow, we have to get everyone off of this island before anyone else gets hurt or ever worse… eaten!” Mitch yelled in a whisper. “Yeah we know but how. The cruise boat doesn’t get here for another two weeks.” Cara said. “Yes but maybe, since this is an emergency it can get here sooner. The cruise boat docks on the main land not far from here. If we get everybody packed by Wednesday the ship will be here and we can leave!” Mitch’s great plan lasted two minutes and Zac just had to blurt out “Mitch that’s a great plan but what if the thing that killed Sam isn’t and animal or creature, what if it’s a-a person?!”
