The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 38~

Kristina's POV

I went all the way to the city, and then I went to McDonald's. I thought it might be a good idea to be in public. I ordered some food and sat down next to a table. Suddenly, the time was 8:30. Joanna had called me many times and I haven't picked up.

Suddenly, I could see Joanna come into McDonald's. I ran to the bathroom to hide.

Joanna's POV

I went to the McDonald's in the city to check if Kristina was there.

"Excuse me, have you seen a short blonde haired girl not a long time ago?", I asked woman.

"I've seen more than one blonde girl today, so I don't know which one you're talking about", the woman answered.

I went outside again, and tried to find her.

Kristina's POV

After a few minutes in the bathroom, I went back outside. Suddenly, Dory came into McDonald's.

"What are you doing here?", I asked her.

"I was gonna ask you the same thing", she answered.

I got quiet and was just looking around to see if I saw Joanna somewhere.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell her anything", Dory said as she sat down at the table.

I could see her typing something on her phone. But I didn't see what she was typing.

"Who are you texting?", I asked.

"Just a friend", she answered.

I knew she was lying, because we're not allowed to text anyone except each other, Alex and Joanna. But I didn't think more of it, maybe she really was texting a friend.

"Wanna go out?", I asked.

"No, I think we better stay here. I guess Joanna won't look for you at a place she has already been", she answered.

Dory did all she could to keep me there, and I wondered why. She was never a rule breaker, so I wondered why she helped me. After about 20 minutes, Joanna came back. I didn't see her before she had seen us.

"Thank you, Dory. You have been such a wonderful help", she said.

"What??", I said.

Dory just looked at me.

"You texted Joanna and told her where I was?", I asked.

"Well, of course I did..", she answered.

"I know you're mad at me, but I really didn't think you were gonna tell on me. I trusted you", I said.

Dory just rolled her eyes.

Joanna looked like she was gonna murder me or something.

"Are you gonna kill me in public?", I asked.

"No, you're gonna come home with us and then you and I are gonna have a little chat", she raised her voice.

"I'm not going anywhere with you at the moment", I told her.

Joanna looked at the woman that was working at McDonald's. It was clear that she didn't want to do anything in public.

"Can I talk to you for a second?", she asked.

I didn't want to, but we went to the bathroom anyways.

"I'm staying here", Dory said and went to order a milkshake.

"Good, I trust you", Joanna said and smiled.

When we were on our way to the bathroom, Joanna looked at the woman and told me loud and clearly "I told you not to have sex with that boy from your school".

"What the hell are you doing?", I asked. I got embarrassed.

"It was the first I could think of", she answered.

"When we get out of the bathroom, you're gonna come home voluntarily. You got it?", Joanna said.

"I told you I'm not coming with you", I answered.

"You will. Trust me.", she said with a serious voice.

"Fine!", I answered.

"Break you're promise, and I'll kill all the people that work here and then I will kill you", she said.

"I don't believe you", I told her.

Joanna grabbed my hand and twisted it a little.

"Maybe I won't.. but I promise you that I will break every bone in your tiny little hand", she threatened me.

"Okay, okay", I said as I came with her.

We went home.

"Dory, go to your room please", Joanna said when we came home.

I was standing there all alone with Joanna. Joanna slapped me across the face.

"What were you thinking?", she asked.

"It would be so much better if you let me go out.. it would be so much easier to think of you like my mom", I told her.

"I will, I promise. I'm just pissed at the moment, and it's so hard to let go", she explained.

"You will never let me leave the house, you mother fucker", I told her.

"Not with that language use", she said.

I just rolled my eyes.

"Sit down", she said.

I sat down at a chair with the table. Joanna took a needle out of a drawer.

"What are you doing?", I asked nervously.

"I'm sorry.. I don't trust you.. I don't want you to sneak out tonight", she said.

"Are you drugging me or something?", I asked.

"I don't trust you", she repeated.

"I- I don't like needles", I explained.

"It won't hurt.. and you will fall asleep a few seconds later", she told me.

"I know it doesn't hurt, it's just not a good feeling to know that a needle is inside of me", I said.

"Shut up, and don't move. If you move, then I might miss and then I have to do it again", she explained.

I closed my eyes, and didn't move a muscle. I got dizzy and then I fell asleep.
