CARSON

I'm leaving my best friend Monica's house. I live with my sister Lucy in our loft, its like an apartment but its bigger so I label it as a loft. I get home around 10 p.m., I drop my bags at the door. Lucy's special pasta was cooking, but Lucy wasn't in the kitchen. I go to her room and sit on her purple bed. The closet light is on and clothes are flying out of the doorway. "Luce, what are you doing." I ask, she peaks around the corner with a warm smile. She steps out the closet in black heels, a leather black skirt, and a red tank top. She twirls for my approval, I just nod.

"I'm going on a date with Scott." she heads over to her jewelry box. I don't like Scott but he makes her happy I'm willing to deal with him. We go out to the kitchen. I sit on the counter eating noodles form the pot, and before I knew it Lucy was gone. For the rest of the night I talked to Monica, it would have been nice if Luce was here with I need my sister. This night marks the anniversary of my rape from last year. The police never found the bastard that did this to me, at night I wake up screaming and I hide in my closet. Not tonight, tonight I feel secure because of Monica. We talked about our summer plans. Monica, some friends, and I are going to stay at her parents beach house in Miami, Florida. We leave the day after tomorrow I fell asleep early. Luce got home at 1:oo a.m.

My alarm clock blares in my ear. I slip on my blue sun dress. It matches the blue streak in my black long hair. When I got to the kitchen, Lucy was at the table drinking coffee. Her head was held down, she had a hangover. " Good morning Luce!" I yelled in her ear, her eyes were drooping when she lifted her head. I grabbed a home made bagel and left for school. The day went by fast,especially with award ceremonies. I didn't get anything so it didn't protean to me, all I can think about is my trip tomorrow. My bags were packed for 2 months. I spent the night over at Monica's. "Who else did you invite?" I ask we are eating popcorn and veiwing Titanic.

"I invited Thomas of course and he said he invited another guy from school, Clare,and Frankie. He said he would meet us down there. Is there anyone u want to invite?" I shook my head. We finished the movie and went to sleep. I texted Lucy the next morning, I told her that we were going to leave in a hour and that I would call her when we got there. Monica packed the car. "Do you want me to drive?" she asked. I looked at her eyes and they looked like Luce's when she had that hangover, so I said "I can drive." Monica gave Jamie her little sister a kiss good bye and we were on our way to Florida.
