After I dried off I went to apologize to Criss. I went in and saw Criss's shadow undressing. "Criss I'm here to apologize"I called out. Criss came out with the towel wrapped around his waist and nothing else. Lord give me strength. "It's all right no need to apologize" as he went into his room. "Are you all right Criss you don't seem like yourself"I stated. Criss came out dressed and sat down. "I came up here to relax and think. Now that my brothers are here sometimes-I think you know where I'm going with this"he said as I smiled. "Criss I'm a part of the baby of the family club so I know the feeling"I remarked. "Can I ask you something?". I walked over to him. "What Criss?". "You don't seem happy to be here either"he replied. "Yea my parents decided to use the money I saved to go to Las Vegas to see you to pay my uncle for the cabin. It took me three years to get it but they decided that I shouldn't go to Las Vegas and that I was being corrupted by you so they took the money and spent it".

"I wonder how your parents would react if they found out who I really am" as Criss smirked. "Well I'll see you later Criss" and left. The next day was a day you don't want when you're on vacation: Rain. Rain rain go away come again another day I thought as I watched the rain fall. After a few minutes I put on my coat and went out to the dock with my headphones and CD. As I stood there watching the rain fall I heard Criss arguing with JD. "Are you serious?". "Come on Criss you barely have the time to date let alone do a musical" JD called out. "I want to try it I want to try something different instead doing magic"Criss replied. "Come on Criss this is insane". Just listening to them kind of reminded me of the arguement I had with my parents when I told them I was going to Vegas instead with them. Then I saw Criss come out looking angry. "God why do I feel like they run my life instead me,"Criss mumbled as he walked onto the dock.

"I'm forty-two years old not ten". "You all right Christopher?"I asked walking over. "Yea just fustarded at my brothers"he replied as the rain soaked his hair. "I could hear your agruing with JD and I got to say it reminded me of the argument I had with my parents before I came up here"I stated smiling. "I swear Racheal you such an upbeat attitude even when life throws you a curve ball". "Because I've been through hell Criss just like you had with your dad"I stated taking off my headphones. "What do you mean?"he asked. "Remember that accident I told you about" as I unzipped my jacket and took it off. I pulled up my sleeve and Criss's jaw nearly fell to the ground to the top of my arm to a couple of inches pasted my elbow was a scar. "I went to a carnival and on one of the rides I fell fifteen feet my whole entire left side broken including my ankle" showing him the scar there. "Oh my god"Criss stated.

"I had to wait almost a week just to be operated on and that took twelve hours. Then I had to go into rehab to gain strength back in my left side. Since I couldn't do anything I had to let people help me to brush my hair or use the bathroom, but I never let get to me so during therpy session I would listen to music. Through the years I never let the bad stuff get to me so don't let it get to you"I replied putting my jacket back on. "Thanks Racheal" he said and gave me a hug. All of a sudden thunder rolled and we saw lightning flash. "We should get back inside"Criss suggested. "Yea" and we ran to our cabins.
