All Chapters of Rex (Book 5): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Once we arrived at the airport, we had a transportation van take us to the hotel. Rex and I confirmed our arrival with the receptionist and went up to the rooms. Grandpa had booked three suites; two connecting rooms and one across.The girls and I were excited as we explored the suite. It had everything with a dining table and a kitchen. The master bedrooms had the best view of the island. My room can see the beach from up here. I can't believe I'm on one of the most beautiful islands and where Rex and the boys were born and raised. "Hey, Thea," Effie poke her head. "Who's room are who?""Oh!" I ran to my backpack and pulled out a white folder full of our plans for our vacation. I set it down on the table with everyone present, "Okay, let me see. This room and Rex and I. Your room is over there. The other suite is Liam, Lily, Seth, and Terry. Don and Claire have the room across, along with Jordyn and Ares. Okay, everyone, go to your rooms and rest up because we are going to eat out l

The first whole week was our busiest. We ventured out throughout the island, sightseeing, visiting the Oahu Circle Island in Waikiki, the Pearl Harbor memorial, and the Dole plantation, where they have the tastiest Dole ice cream.Other activities on the list were going to the Kualoa Ranch with a two-hour submarine tour of Atlantis, an ATV ride for a Raptor Tour where Jurassic Park was filmed, and we did parasailing. Then yesterday, we all had dinner at Chief's Luau, where food and a Hula show were presented. I've seen Luaus, but nothing like this. We had a blast the first five days of our vacation, except for the constant argument between Jordan and Ares. No matter where we go, the fighting won't stop.Today, before we visit Rex and his brother's hometown, we snorkel with dolphins and sea turtles at Oahu Dolphin Watch Snorkeling, including a hula show and water activities. We booked the whole boat just for my family. We had lots of fun, and the boys kept driving while Terry and Effie

"How is she, Dr. Warner?" I asked the doctor as I closed the door behind me. A wave of emotions filled me. Effie and Claire are beside her, worried about their friend lying in bed.It's good. I asked Effie to call Grandpa's doctor and have him fly here to check on Jordan. It was better for us to have someone we knew who could keep this a secret."She's okay. I've sedated her," he says, closing his medical bag. "I'm not going to ask what happened, but Thea, is this her first episode?""No," I sigh. "But she hasn't had those in years. The last time was when she was in college. She dated this guy who went too far, and she panicked.""I see," Dr. Warner rubs his chin. "Well, I could look into her records, but I need permission from her previous doctors and family.""Doc, don't say anything to her family," I tell him, worried. "Her mother passed away when she was young. Her dad and brothers are very protective of her. They would not be happy knowing that Jordan's episodes had returned. I m

"How is Jo doing?" asked Claire.We were all at the beach, just having a relaxing day. We decided to stop all activities so that Jo could have some time to adjust to the people around her.When I told everyone about the condition Jo was in, half of them didn't want to believe it, but Jo presented herself as a child holding a plush and clinging to me, afraid of strangers. Instantly, they saw how bad her condition was.I explained to everyone that I was her nanny for now while her parents were on their honeymoon, which Jo believed would give us time to bring back her old self. I specifically told everyone to be nice to Jo. I mainly aim those words at Seth because he is the most childish of all the men in the group.I pull my sunglasses down and spot Jo with my sister, Lily, and the twins.She hadn't gotten used to us because everyone else was a stranger to her. Yesterday, after Dr. Warner examined her. Jo was scared to meet the others. She clings to me like a monkey. Instead of followin

Once we returned to our hotel room. Everyone had gathered and got the whole story from Jo.After Lily left her in the restroom, Jo didn't want to wait and decided to explore. She went to look around each stall. Jo thought it would be fun without an adult by her side.Then Jo saw ice cream and wanted to buy it, but she didn't have any money, so that is when Richard approached her. He started to flirt with her and seemed to find her childish behavior cute. He offered to pay for a cone, but Jo refused to speak with a stranger. When she walked away, Richard got handy. Grabbed her wrist as it made Jo cry. Ares was closed by and saw the commotion and started attacking Richard. Seth and Terry arrived five minutes before the frightened Jo, as she witnessed my brother pounding the guy.Everyone saw it happen.So, it ended once we arrived to stop the fight.After Jo had explained and everyone had said their good night. Ares, who never looked back once at Jo, left the room.I understand how much
