Our friends come down a few hours later waking up to the smell of the French Toast

"Mmmmm" they sigh in synch "That smells heavenly" they walk over to the counter, I smile glad they don't think it smells like road kill, I walk over to the stove and flip the pieces of french toast onto the plate I walk over to them wafting the plate in and out of their reach teasing them meanly finally after a few moments of torture Trisha's hand snakes out and grabs the plate, her blue and gold bangles flashing from the sun. I frown a little mad to be outwitted by my friend I sit down hard at the table chairs grabbing a piece of french toast chewing slowly savouring the cinnamon flavour.

"So what should we do today" Lilly questions I glance up a her

"Probably get dressed would be a good idea" she blushes slightly looking down at her purple and blue PJ's

"Yep that would be first but you can't talk," Lilly points out, I look down and see that I'm still in my pajamas I blush and say

"Why don't we go get changed" I say "I'll beat you" I challenge, running up the short stairs to my room they follow in my tracks I burst into my room and change quickly into a black shirt and a baby blue hoodie with jeans and socks I finish with a little bit of blue eyeshadow to go with my hoodie and mascara I hate blush and lipstick so I skip that and I do my hair up in a quick high ponytail, all that taking 10 minutes I race back down and I realize that I beat everyone except Mason but in my defence he only had to throw on a t-shirt and jeans and run a comb through his hair. Trisha and Lily come down a few minutes later Lilly in the front wearing a green hoodie and a pink T-shirt with blue designs of something with dragons on it and Trisha with a neon green sweater with a black t-shirt and a gold necklace. I smile,

"Ha, I beat you"

"Ha" I turn around to look at Mason "I beat you!" I roll my eyes and playfully punch him he pretends to look hurt and then he smiles "So what are we going to do today?" he inquires, I think about this for a minute

"Today i'm going to find a job"

"No" Trisha gasps sarcastically "Not you I wouldn't dare let you 'the try not to work if i can' princess you might break your record of not work for" she pauses to look at her phone "1 year and 5 minutes" I mock glare at her and then glance at Mason and Lilly they look at me with the same expression of mockery,

"Thanks guys i really feel the love pouring in here, wow just basking in it" I pause to glare at them "Come on guys I need to get a job I can't live off that money forever"

"We are just teasing, sheesh can't you take a joke?" Lilly asks, I break into a smile

"Well I guess so" they all smile, I grab my keys a bolt for the door leaving my friends confused "First one out the door gets to drive" they all smile and bolt after me I burst out the door and to the curb where my black Chevy Avalanche with small lightning bolt stickers is parked truck (the one that wasn't smashed into a tree) as I reach the the drivers side to jump in Mason runs up behind me and throws me out I let out a small squeak protest and I jump on him piggy back style but he throws me off softly and say

"You know I was just kidding" I smile hopefully he just gives me a lopsided grin and says holding his hands out "the keys dahl" i sigh heavily and hand them over he smiles and I jump in the passenger seat as Trisha and Lilly jump in the back with mock pouty faces I smile glad I at least got in the front as were driving along the highway we drive toward the first the job option suddenly I see ourselves start to go off the road except Mason, Trisha, and Lilly is gone and it's just me and Mom I scream and suddenly I am back except we are on the side of the road and my friends are looking at me with concern I sit up disoriented

"What the heck happened" Trisha asks

"I don't know" but then I tell them what I saw

"Maybe we should just take you home and do it tomorrow?" Lilly asks

"No I can do this, but maybe it was a good idea for Mason to drive" I say sheepishly "I don't think I'm going to drive until I know I won't freak again" they all nod in agreement. I grab a mint from the console and say

"Well lets go get me a job" Mason puts the truck into gear and guns it to get in front of a truck we arrive at the restaurant 'Boston Pizza' I get out glancing at the 'Help Wanted' sign on the sign I walk in a little nervous, I walk up to the front desk the girl looks up and smiles. I guess she is about in her early 20's with a kind smile with black hair with dyed blonde highlights

"Hello there," she says with a slight British accent "how may I help you"

"Umm hello, I am looking for a job here? I have a resume

"Ok" she peers behind me I turn around and I just see my friends who gives me encouraging smiles, I smile back

"Are your friends also going to be working?"

"No, no there not"

"Okay then, please follow me but your friends have to stay there" she smiles apologetically at my friends "Sorry resturant rules" oh crap I think but I plaster on a smile and follow her. I glance behind me and watch as my friends go and sit down at a table. I come out from the back a few minutes later with a smile. They look up expectantly but then there smiles drop as they see my sad face Lilly breaks the silence

"How did it go?" she asks in a voice that knowing in a way that I didn't get the job, suddenly I can't hold it back I smile broadly sitting down next to them in the red booth with black leather seats,

"I got the job" they all smile in relief

"Can we go home now? because while you were in the back I ran over to the movie store and got a few movies which I will not reveal util we will get home" Trisha says sharing a knowing smile with the rest I give a big sigh and smile

"Okay, but I get to drive" their faces contort into uncertainty "what? come on guys I did get my license, maybe that incident was a one day thing you never know" I can tell they don't like but they all agree I do a small fist pump into the air not caring that basically the whole restaurant was staring at us. I run out to the truck I jump in and wait for my friends to get in, they finally get in and I see the plastic bag from the movie place in Trisha's bag we get on the road again. We start to get to get to the place where I crashed and I brace myself but nothing happens so I relax until I see the tree we crashed into, I slow the truck and pull it to the side of the road. I get out I glance at Mason and he nods understanding I need to do this alone. I walk up to the tree the wood is ripped and splintered the top isn't touched but the tree is almost falling down, but the truck isn't there anymore and I am grateful for that.The forest still looks green and beautiful and green, I fall to my knees and I lean my head against the trunk and I have another flashback, I'm in the truck I scream knowing what's going to happen! I see my mother again. It is nice and I miss her so much I feel myself slump against the ground and I black out but not before I see my mother's head hit the glass.
