Ch 5

Eventually me and Quinn fell asleep. She
got really emotional and told me everything. How she just shut down after that. She wouldn't leave her room, she wouldn't eat and she couldn't sleep. They were supposed to go to Pheonix earlier, but they didn't since Quinn wouldn't leave her room. Eventually, they got her out and that's pretty much the end of the story. I was shocked at how easily Jim got over LeAnn, but Quinn explained how they were probably going to get a divorce soon anyway. They always fought, and they grew to hate eachother. He cried, but only for a couple of hours. Sissi had no emotion to it. She simply said "That sucks." And walked into her room. Quinn also explained how Jim and Sissi didn't want to have a funeral, and that pissed off LeAnn's family. LeAnn's mom, Angela, disowned Quinn and Sissi, claiming they weren't family and that they were too selfish to pay for their own mother's funeral, and that it was their fault for her suicide. Quinn was devestated at this. She loved Angela, and the rest of the Martinez family. But, of course, Jim and Sissi could care less about Angela and LeAnn. They simply brushed it off. Never talked to them again.

I looked over over at Quinn and I could see the tear stains from last night. I knew what it was like to be rejected by your family. Last night, I told her all about how my dad just left one day. No note, no phone call, no nothing. He left everything at home. His wallet, his phone. Some people think he was kidnapped, some say he was cheating on mom and just decided that he couldn't do it anymore. Some say he committed suicide, and others say that we killed him or some nonsense like that. All I remember is waking up, two years ago, and hearing my mom cry with no one beside her in bed. We looked everywhere for him before going to my grandma Lynn. She never liked mom, or me for that matter. We explained everything to her and she said it was all our fault. She said that if we didn't have him so stressed out all the time, he wouldn't have left. Two days later, his whole family hates us. I used to have a part time job at my aunt Louise's shop. She moved after dad left and never told me the new location.

I turned over and shut my eyes, trying to
forget all the terrible memories running through my mind. Quinn shifted and started to stir in her sleep. a couple moments later, she opened her eyes. "Hey," She said, clearly still a bit upset. "Sup?" I smiled slightly, trying to lighten the mood. She sighed. "We have to get up, don't we?" "Yeah," I frowned.

We both got up and walked over to the kitchen.
Jim and mom were standing at the counter with Will and James. They must have gotten here late last night.

"Morning sisters." James said. "Morning."
I replied. "H-hi..." Quinn stuttered, knowing that Jim had probably already told them about her outburst yesterday. "Aww, c'mon Q! Come give us a hug! We haven't seen you in a long time!" Will said, extending his arms out. Qyinn hesitated, but walked over and hugged him. "How's my baby sister?" He asked. She chuckled and replied with a muffled "Good." "Good." He said. "So, um, when did you guys get here?" I asked James, considering we were the only ones not talking. "Like 4 am this morning. Tired, really. We landed in California and so we just drove all the way here. At around 2 am we got to Long Island, but we got lost in tbe woods. Eventually we found our way." He explained. "Ah, I see. Cool." I said.

"Hey V, would you mind waking Sissi up?
We're going fishing today, and I know she won't want to miss that!" Jim said, a cup of coffee in his hand. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "No of course not." I walked into the hall and went to Sissi's room. Since it was a family cabin, her door had an engraved S on it with a heart and a butterfly. "Sissi! Wake up! Time to go fishing!" I yelled while pounding on the door. "Ugh! You stupid little slut you woke me up!" I leaved against the door and rolled my eyes. "It's not like I want you awake, bitch." She scoffed. "Whatever. Give me 30 minutes."
