The treetops were unfortunately not able to shield the sun from the road, and the people within the old Camaro were sure steam would soon rise from their skin. There wasn't a drop of sweat on their bodies as the harsh rays made it evaporate. The few water bottles they had with them were worse than lukewarm, and Jo would rather die of thirst than try to drink that.

Jodie Carter was the only person in the car without a smile on her lips. Honestly, if they let her drive, they could have gotten to the family vacation home two hours earlier. Peggy wouldn't let that happen, always having to drive and be in charge. That was just second nature to her, much to Jodie's dismay. 

Pietro was asleep in the backseat – drooling on the window. Jo let out a huff of a chuckle, and for what seemed to be the first time in her life, she spotted Tony behind her with an actual book in his hands. Jo banged her head against the headrest of the leather seat, grabbing her sister's attention through the music.

"Would you stop ruining the seat!" Peggy snapped while her sister rolled her eyes and turned down the awful pop music.

"Dude, we could've been there like 2 hours ago if you'd just let me drive our car!" Jo drew out every last syllable of the word 'our'.

The Camaro wasn't Peggy's after all, and yet, she always seemed to be in the driver's seat. It was meant for both of the sisters. Their parents might have hoped it could help with their strained relationship. The car had been signed fully over to Jo when Peggy left for college.

"I wasn't the one who crashed our car," Peggy cooed in a taunting voice as she knew exactly how to get on her sister's nerves.

"And you'd think people matured after high school." Tony's voice came from the back. Both of the Carter's twisted their bodies in the seat, glaring through the man.

"Shut up, Stark," Jo grumbled and turned back to her sister with a tense jaw. "I barely hit a stop sign. I had the car all of last year, Margaret." Peggy hated when Jo used her full name like that. "But I guess everyone just falls on their knees when the queen returns."

"Oh, please!" Peggy huffed out, "as if you don't take my place as soon as I leave town."

"I don't!" Jo argued back but Peggy didn't reply. 

It just made her even madder when her sister tried to play the bigger person. A scoff left her lips and she fell back in the leathered seat with arms crossed over her chest. Jo couldn't exactly get away, so she stared out of the window angrily.
