The next morning, we were around Sarasota. Since it was estimated to be a nineteen hour drive, it had only took around 16 hours to get to Sarasota from Ohio. Only 3 hours to go.

Alex, and I did most of the driving. We didn't stop at hotels, so we drove through the night. It'd be faster that way. Molly slept majority of the ride. At a point, about 7:30 in the morning, she fell into Alex's lap, snoring. He was sleeping too, mouth hanging open. I had been driving since 2 that morning. With red bull, and coffee I managed to stay awake. I had to get Alex up soon, though. My eyelids had been feeling heavy.

Jack was sleeping in the passenger seat, side of his head pressed against the window. I liked looking over to him every so often, watching his breaths quake.

Alex eventually woke, shivering. I looked up at the rearview window to see him, looking at Molly. "You know," he said in a sleepy voice. "Usually when a chick has hear face in my lap, she's up,"

"I am up, perv," Molly woke suddenly, flying up. "Your thighs are like pillows."

Alex winked, making her roll her eyes. "Your welcome to rest your head on them at anytime you'd like."

Jack groaned, pressing his nose against the window. "Five more minutes, mom!"

Molly sat forward in the middle seat, looking over to me. "Look at the sun, sis. It's so beautiful."

I looked over to her, laughing. "It's the same sun we see at home. Alex, can you drive again?"

He nodded. "Yeah, can you pull into a exit? I wanna get some food."

I nodded, finding an exit. I pulled into it, and found a McDonald's. "Drive thru or in?"

"Let's go in," Alex said. "I need to sit my butt on something that isn't car foam."

So I pulled into an empty parking spot. I got out, excepting coldness. But I was not greeted by coldness. I got a face full of heat. I used a hair tie from my wrist, throwing my hair in my quick ponytail. I fanned myself with my hand. "Jesus Christ, it's crazy hot."

"83 degrees!" Molly said, throwing herself out of the car. She threw herself on the pavement, sending dramatic wails out. "I missed the heat so much!"

"Get up, you dork!" I picked her up by the wrists. "People down here are different, Mols. They'll think we're holding you captive,"

She grumbled, heading into Mickey D's. Alex followed her. I walked over to Jack's side, seeing his face pressed against the glass. I opened the door, and his body fell out. I caught his stringy body in my arms before his hit the ground.

He opened his eyes. "What time is it? Where are we?" He got off me, standing on his own feet. He stretched his arms above his head.

"One question at a time, babe. It's 7:50 AM, and we are in a McDonald's parking lot. You want some breakfast?" I asked him.

He nodded, shutting the door. "I'm starving. How long have you been driving?"

I walked with him. "About 5 hours."

"We're almost there, though. Is Alex driving the rest?"

I nodded.

After the breakfast stop, Alex did drive the rest of the way. I feel asleep for a while in the backseat next to Jack. After the 3 hours, someone shook me to get up.

I knew I was in Miami, and frankly, that excited me. I jolted up, with wide eyes. "We here?!" I said to Jack.

He chuckled. "Yeah. Alex, and Molly are already in their rooms. I went in, and put our stuff up,"

"You let me sleep?" I said with a small smile.

He nodded. "Well, Alex tried getting you up. You wouldn't get up. So I let you stay in the car for 15 more minutes,"

"Molly, and Alex okay with sharing a room?" I got up from the car. I yawned, stretching. I took a deep breath of the Miami air. The sky was shining, the heat bouncing off my pale skin. I smiled at the way the seagulls squaked, missing summer. Palm trees were everywhere, just like oak trees or pine trees would be back north. But it was very hot. I wasn't used to it just yet. I needed to switch out of my sweats into shorts. To the side of the hotel, there was a very large beach. Kids were already there, laying out.

Jack chuckled, putting a hand on my lower back. We walked into the hotel (which wasn't any old Best Western) "Yeah, they were fine with it. I wish I had gotten a single bed, though,"

"Why?"

"Oh, come on. How funny would it be seeing their faces when they figured out they had to sleep on the same bed?" Jack pressed the up button to the brass door elevator. It dinged, and we stepped in.

"Okay, okay. That would be pretty hilarious," I admitted.

Once we got into the hotel room, I had an open mouth, full of awe. The bedroom was smaller, but that was fine. It was still awesome, nonetheless. "Jack, this place is beautiful."

"Yeah, I know! I found it online, and figured you like it. So you wanna go down to the beach or sleep?"

I was tired, but I didn't want to let that get in the way of me seeing Miami. I only had a while with Jack, I wanted to live it, not sleep it. "Let's go to the beach. Where's the other two's room?"

"Floor above ours. The floors are set up so that twin bed rooms had every other room," He explained.

I went over to my suitcase, unzipping it. I grabbed the bikini I bought with Molly, and a towel. "Get dressed, I'll be in the bathroom." I walked in. The bathroom was at least half the size of the room. No wonder it was so small, the makers of the hotel probably put more thought into the bathrooms. It had a steam shower, and then a tub with jets. I seen friends with houses who had these sort of things, but I never had an opportunity to actually have the things at my use. "Holy shit, this bathroom is godly!"

I slipped into the bikini, and wrapped a towel around my chest. I walked out, seeing Jack with his red swim trunks on, and a towel tucked into his arm. "Are we going to get Molly, and Alex?"

He shook his head. "Nah, let's just go down," He looked at me, and then smiled. "I have a surprise for you later today."

I took a deep breath, preparing to jump. My heart was beating at a rapid pace, head spinning. I looked back at the people in the crowd, their faces eager. I gulped. Molly was dripping, head to toe, in salt water. Jack looked worried sick.

Now or never.

I ran, falling off the cliff, heading into the water. My heart was in my throat, my stomach gone. I dived in, breaking into the cold water. I squeezed my eyes shut, not wanting to get the burning water into them, which I had done earlier. I came back up, crowd cheering. I smiled, shaking. I watched as another person made their way to front, quivering in fear. It wasn't too bad, actually. Just a little nerve racking.

That was Jack's surprise. Cliff diving.

Seeing Molly do it was a bit shocking. I didn't realize she was the brave one. I winced as she crashed into the water, screaming.

I swam to shore, arms to my chest. Goosebumps formed. I trembled, running back up the hill. I pushed my way into the crowd, and found Jack. "You're next, buddy boy!"

He shook his head. "No way! I thought it'd be fun, but holy shit, actually seeing people do it, no," His eyes widened as the victim jumped.

"Dude, it's so fun. Don't be a pussy," Alex said. Molly nodded in approval.

"Who's next?!" Someone called.

"This man will like to go, sir!" Alex called.

"Jump, jump, jump!" People chanted.

Jack swore at Alex. The crowd pushed Jack forward to edge of the cliff. They backed up, letting him standing on the edge. I stood in the front of the crowd, grinning.

"Macy- if I die, I love-"

I ran up to him, shoving him.

He screamed like a girl all the way down. I held my stomach, laughing. I saw him fall into the water. I dived down, now used to the thrill. I came up, seeing him shake his head like a dog. "Macy Collins!" He yelled.

I giggled. "I love you, too." I kissed him, and then dragged him ashore.

We sat down on the sand. I felt my bikini bottom's collect grains of sand. "So what's next?"

"Friend of mine clued me in that there was a huge mixer going on, downtown. I wanna go, if that's cool. Don't worry, they don't I.D."

I nodded. "Alcohol served?"

"Yeah, but you don't drink?" It was a statement, but he asked it.

I pointed to a flailing Molly, who crashed into the waves. "She does, and gets crazy stupid. Usually ending up hooking up with anything that moves."

He rose a thick eyebrow. "What do you mea... Oh. Alex. Don't worry, he wouldn't. If he does, I'll kill him,"

"I might need her sleeping with me. I want her to have fun, not do anything regrettable,"

"Hey, don't worry about it. This is supposed to about us, Macy." He put his hand on drying thigh.

I watched Alex fall with pursed lips. It was supposed to be the big sister looking after the little sister, not the other way around- right?

I silently thanked Jack for not getting them a single bed.

Notes

hey readers! I don't know if anyone will do this or not, but I'll try it anyways;
I need to put those new character things on the summary page but I don't know who to put as Molly, and Macy.
can you guys find the perfect molly and macy for me?
comment links to pictures, and the girls that I think fit the girls the most will be the faces of the sisters. I'll give a shout out and a chapter dedication to the winner. i'll also put their usernames in the character descriptions.
okay, uh, please, and thank you!
also, i have 60+ subscribers, so if i don't get at least 5 entries, y'all are just lazy, and i'm not updating until i have at least 8 entries.

thank you & goodnight!
