The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 72~

The next day

Kristina's POV
I woke up around 10:15, and I went downstairs.

"Good morning", Joanna said with her face looking down in her book.

"My sister is coming this weekend.. she's coming today", she told me.

"Your sister? How is she?", I asked.

"Annoying as fuck", was all she answered. She faked a smile.

"Who's the older sister?", I asked.

"I am.. she was a mistake.. actually, she wasn't.. I was, but let's not talk about that", Joanna said and continued reading.

"Okay.. thanks for letting me know, I guess", I answered as I went to tell Dory.

"Duh.. I know, it was the first thing she said when I came downstairs this morning", she said.

"What a surprise", I said ironic.

Around 5:00 pm, the door bell rang. Joanna went to open the door.

"Hi, this is-", Joanna started.

"The girls you kidnapped?", Joanna's sister interrupted her.

"How did you know?", Joanna asked.

"It was on the news, you idiot", she said.

"Oh.. well, don't snitch.. remember snitches get stitches", Joanna said with a bitchy smile.

"What has happened to you, Joanna? You used to be so sweet and kind.. I wanted to be just like you", Joanna's sister said.

"That was the 10 year old me, you fool.. people change", Joanna said.

I got tired of the arguing and turned around to walk away. But Joanna stopped me.

"Hey wait, this is my sister, Erica.. it's three years between us", Joanna said.

"I'm Kristina.. I'm turning 16 this year", I introduced myself.

"Hi, I'm Dory, it's a pleasure to meet you", Dory introduced herself to Erica.

"You don't look.. kidnapped?", Erica said.

"Oh, we've just gotten used to it", Dory said and smiled.

Erica wanted to talk to us alone.

"Can I ask you something?", she started.

"Yeah", Dory answered.

"Has she ever hurt you?", Erica asked.

"Sometimes, but we don't talk about that", I said as I turned around to leave.

But Erica grabbed my hand.

"It's not right.. where's your parents?", she asked.

"My parents are dead, and Dory's parents are in Hungary.. now if you will excuse us", I said and walked away.
