NICOLE
When I realize that I have absolutely no way of getting out of here, my heart sinks, because the only chance I have of getting back home involves calling my brother.
And I would hate to do that.
Spending the night here is out of the question. Things between Esmeralda and me aren't good at all. My brother was right. I should never have agreed to the trip. It doesn't help that I had a bad feeling about it the whole time.
I tried convincing myself that it would be alright, but deep down, I didn't want to come. And now, this has happened, and I feel awful.
Before heading up to the room to grab my things, I stop by the bar to have something to drink. I opt for the cheapest alcoholic beverage on the menu—a glass of red wine. Yes, there's beer, but I've never been a fan.
