“Well, maybe it might be something you did but you can’t remember”, said Aaliyah.
Then Laurent tries to remember.
` “Well, it happened a long time ago me and Larry was in high school, it was around Larry’s birthday and I want to get him something special”, said Laurent.
“It was a pair of shoes that cost a lot of money but I forgot to pay him back.” Everyone felt like they had an idea what to do.
“Maybe, if you get enough money then you might get Larry back”, said Tyler.
“That might be a good idea I have been saving money for a rainy day”, Laurent stated.
“Well I only have five hundred dollars”, said Laurent.
“I have four hundred dollars, that should be enough to pay him back”, said Aaliyah.
“No, because I owe him five thousand dollars, “said Laurent. “Are you serious?” said Tyler and Aaliyah.
“Maybe, we can ask are friends to helps us out”, Aaliyah sighed.
“Well let’s go”, said Laurent.
So, after a few days they finally got five thousand dollars. They got on a plane and went to Miami. When they got there they found the place.
“Okay now we need to figure out which room it is”, said Laurent.
So, they walk around and try to find the room. Suddenly everything got quiet but too quiet. Then, Laurent wakes up feeling dizzy.
“What happened”, said Laurent.
He looks around seeing Aaliyah, Tyler, and Larry on the other side of the room. Everyone was tied up. Luckily, Laurent had a pocket knife. He rips the rope. While he was trying to get everyone else out he sees a shadow behind him.
“Well, I guess you finally found me”, said the man.
“I can’t believe that you would do this to me.”
“We used to be best friends, why do you seem like we have a problem with each other”, said Laurent.
Then suddenly the man threw the first punch, and then Laurent punched. The man falls to the ground.
“See, we didn’t have to go through this”, said Laurent.
Then Laurent grabs his shoulder tightly making him passed out. Laurent tells everyone go outside. They went back home.
“I’m sorry I got you into to this stuff “, said Laurent.
“It’s okay but if you try to get me something nice just get something simple”, said Larry.
