The song was blaring in the bathroom that all three Gilbert siblings shared.It was the first day back of Marty's junior year after what felt like a awfully long summer.
Marty bopped her head up and down as she was dancing to the song and straitening one of the last pieces of her now blonde hair.
Marty didn't only lose her parents a few months ago, she also lost who she was before. Her parents were a piece of her and not having them around to support and share their love really affected the girl.
Marty heard a buzz and looked down to see it was a message she got in her phone, so she put the straightener down and picked up her phone to see a message from Vicki.
Vicki
Here xx
Marty grinned looking down at the message from her now best friend which she gained over the summer break.
Marty grabbed her bag from her room after leaving the bathroom and headed down stairs and straight for the door.
"He-" Elena went to say good morning to her twin sister, but her words were cut off from the front door slamming shut behind the blonde.
Elena frowned and turned back to walk towards the kitchen where their Aunt Jenna was standing watching the scene unfold.
"She's gonna be okay." Jenna told Elena, but it sounded like she was trying to convince herself rather than Elena.
"She's not in any school clubs and isn't running for class President again. ." Elena paused. "She isn't doing anything she loves anymore and is spending her time with druggies." Elena told her aunt.
Jenna sighed knowing Elena was right. Marty isn't okay and it seems like she's only getting worse.

"The teachers staff is going to shit themselves when they see us together." Vicki laughed out loud, as she hooked her arm with Marty's as the two girls walking side by side up the sidewalk to the front doors of the school.
Marty chuckled softly at her words. "Good. I was getting sick and tired of dealing with their dramatics."
The last two year Marty has been an A+ student and spending all her time with the staff of the school rather than people her own age.
If she didn't start talking to Vicki over the summer, Marty would be coming back to school with zero friends.

"Is that Marty?" Bonnie asked Elena as they made it to school before the two girls since they had to make a pit stop to grab a stash.
Bonnie had talk to the blonde a few times after the accident, but that's when Marty was well- still Marty.
"Yeah. ." Elena sighed out looking at her twin sister with a sad look in her eyes.
It's bad enough that Marty is involved with Vicki and it's even worse that their little brother is following in Marty's footsteps.
Doing drugs and slacking off in school.
Elena watched as Marty and Vicki laughed with each other and socialize with the school losers that decide skipping classes and smoking weed in the back of the school was a good idea.
"It's only been a few months." Bonnie spoke up after looking in the direction of where Elena zoned out in. "She'll get back to herself in no time."
Elena nodded her head and looked away back to Bonnie. "I hope you're right."
