We landed soon after I finished my drawing of Zak and Aaron. I giggled so much when I was showing them. Aaron gave Zak a playful smack, both chuckling as well. But when we landed, the headache came back once again. But I chose to ignore it unlike I usually do.
I take my carry-on in my hand and personal bag on my shoulder, every couple seconds shaking my head to stop the ringing but not look too suspicious. Billy must’ve noticed, however, because he tapped me on the other shoulder once we got out of the loading tunnel. I glanced at him.
“You okay, Dawn?” He asks. I sighed in defeat.
“I don’t really know, Bill, I’ve been having these headaches and ringing in my ears ever since I was thirteen and it’s getting worse,” I explained quietly. “Please don’t tell Jay or Ashley, or even Zak, I don’t want them to worry about me going on the investigation the day after tomorrow.”
“What about Aaron?” He questions.
“As long as he doesn’t tell anyone else, he’s fine,” I answer. He nodded.
“Tell me or Aaron if you need anything,” Billy tells me.
“Thanks, Tolley,” I acknowledge.
The pain in my head worsened. It was unbearable by the time we reached the hotel. All I did was take a Tylenol and go on in the day. But it didn’t work too well. I told My Aunt and Uncle that I needed to rest from the jet-lag and they could go explore and go to the interviews.
“Alright, Dawn,” Aunt Ashley said, “Don’t get into too much trouble.” I chuckled at that comment, and pulled out my phone as they locked the door behind them so I could text my best friend. 244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LQoI6hQL

I nodded to myself and set my phone down again, plopping my head down on the pillow. I lay there and stare at the ceiling, listening to the sound of the traffic outside. My eyes began to flutter closed as I began to drift off into a light doze.
