The Unknown DiLaurentis

After Alison yelled at me, we continued down the hall until we reached the ice room. Alison and I walked in silence the whole way there. The only time she said something to me was to put ice in the ice bucket, while she got the drinks. Alison got our mother a Coke, Courtney a Powerade (supposedly she likes them), Alison got herself Diet Pepsi, and I got a MountainDrew.

When we got back to the room, Courtney was out of the shower and her eyes were red and puffy. Alison quickly went over to her sister and comfort her. Our mother really didn't notice though, she was just reading a book. What kind of mother is she? Could she not see her daughter was in pain?

I walked pass the twins and went to my suitcase. I quickly opened it up and grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I quickly grabbed everything I need and raced into the bathroom. I closed the door behind me and locked it.

I sighed and went over to the counter and turned on the water. I cupped my hands and placed the under the water, letting it fill my hand. Next I threw the cold water at my face.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" I whispered to myself. I was making a joke out of everything that Courtney told us, and she was being serious. Courtney liked girls. But why can't I get that through my thick skull.

I turned off the water and faced the shower. I turned the water to hot and stripped out of my clothes. Next I grabbed a washcloth and stepped into the shower.

Cold water splashed onto my skin. I quickly looked down and saw it was turned all the way to high. I'm guessing everyone else used all of the hot water.

Okay, maybe I deserve that.

I quickly washed my hair and body as fast as I could, trying to get out of the cold water. I reached out and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body. Next, I grabbed a smaller one and wrapped it around my hair. Once my body was dried off, I slipped on my pj's and pulled the hair towel out.

Finally, I brushed my teeth and threw my hair up into a messy bun, not blow drying it or anything. I unlocked the door and walked out.

I went over to where my sister were and saw my mother was missing. My sisters were sitting on the same bed that I left them on. The twins were watching something on TV, probably movie because it was pretty early. Courtney notice me and waved me over. She no longer looked like she had been crying. While Ali didn't look at me, most likely still pissed at me.

I went over to the bed and Courtney scoot closer to Ali, making room for me. I climbed onto the bed and sat next to them.

"We're watching the last Night of the Museum (Rip Robin Williams😢) movie." Courtney whispered to me.

"Where's Mom?" I asked her.

Courtney shrugged her shoulders, "She just left, not telling us where she was going."

I nodded and continued to watch the movie.

When the movie was almost over, our mother entered the room. Alison took one look at her, and went back to watching the movie. Courtney was the same. Okay, maybe what Courtney said wasn't the telling whole truth. I could the tension between all three of them.

I waved my hand at our mother, "Hi, Mom." Both of the twins turned and gave me ugly looks. "What?" I whispered to them.

Mom smiled at me but not at the twins, "Hi, baby. You might want to go to bed, all three of you." She turned and look at Alison. "Especially you, Alison. Remember your driving too."

Ali rolled her eyes, "Fine."

Courtney elbowed my side. I glared at her but looked back at my mom. "Can we at lease finish this movie, Mom? It's really good."
