Summer break

The room was quiet, just as it should be. The moonlight crept through my curtains, casting familiar shadows on the walls of my bedroom. I laid on my bed, staring up at the ceiling while memories of the fight flooded through my head. It was finally summer break, a time of the year where people my age would celebrate, go out with friends, partying and having 'fun', but I'm not doing that.

Summer break this year felt different. The end of the school year was chaotic, with the fight against crackstone and the Hyde have left scars. I traced a fresh cut on my arm, a reminder of my ongoing struggle to stay in control.

A sound from across the room broke me out of my thoughts. My phone, the electronic device that Xavier had gifted me at the end of the school year for us to "keep in touch", how odd.

Leaving my bed and going over to my desk where my phone laid and saw that I had received a text from Enid.

Enid: Hey wens  I was just wondering how you were doing💕

I read the message and I felt a hot rush through my face, am I blushing? How stupid.

Me: I'm doing fine.
Me: You?

Enid: I'm okay I guess, my fam is just a little too much rn, if that makes sense?

Me: Are you okay?

Enid: OMG IS THE WEDNESDAY ADDAMS ASKING ME IF IM OKAY?!
Enid: THIS IS BIG
Enid: but yeah, I'm okay❤️

Me: Okay, good.

There was a pause and then my phone buzzed again.

Enid: So wens, there was another thing I wanted to ask you about...

Me: okay, tell me?

Enid: would you want to come to Cali and visit me this summer? I know it's a long trip but we have been apart for a week already and I'm missing you☹️ please 🙏❤️

Me: I will have to talk to my parents about it, I will be back soon.

I stared at the message for a moment. Going to California to visit Enid? Sounds... intriguing.

Me: I will have to ask my parents first, I will be back.

I stared at the messages for a moment, thinking about visiting Enid in California. This was more than just a trip, it was a big step.

Leaving my phone on my desk, I made my way down stairs to find Mother. She was in the living room, reading, looking up from her book as I walked in.

"Mother" I began "I have a request"

Her eyebrows raised a little "a request? How unusual, go on"

"I would like to visit Enid in California for the rest of the summer" I said, keeping my voice steady.

A small smile spread across her face "Ah, Enid. The colorful one, I'm a bit surprised but if it's what you want then I see no problem with it. But just remember Wednesday, the Addams family has a reputation, don't ruin it"

"Of course, mother" I replied as I turned to leave but she spoke again.

"Wednesday" she spoke softly "be careful"

I nodded and went back up to my room, picking up my phone.

Me: They agreed. I'll start packing.

Enids responds came quickly

Enid: YAY!! I can't wait to see you! I will text you the details❤️.

I put my phone down, feeling both exited and nervous. This trip could change things between us and I wasn't sure if it was good or bad.

I started backing my bag, the same bag I brought with me to nevermore. I started with my clothes, a couple of shorts and skirts, t-shirts, long sleeves, pants, underwear and a hoodie, plus my pajamas. Then I packed the toiletries and lastly a change of shoes, I'm going to live with a couple of werewolf's, what else can I say?

I also packed my purse, if you could call it that. In there I packed the usual stuff, charger, knife, pads and tampons, headphones, perfume,sun glasses, lock kit, pen and paper and a camera.

The next day, I found myself at the airport, alone. Dressed in a black leather jacket with a short black skirt and a thigh black long sleeve with a pair of black converse.

The flight was uneventful for the most part, the only thing that really happened was that the kid who sat next to me spilled his mash potatoes all over his seat and me, if it weren't for all the witnesses that kid wouldn't have gotten away. But I spent most of the flight wondering how California was going to be like, I have been there before, my family lives there but I have never hung out with Enid outside of school hours, or whatever you call it.

As I stepped of the plane and into the busy terminal, I spotted Enid right away, with her colorful hair and clothes, it was hard to miss her.
She waved and ran over to hug me with a big smile on her face. I stiffened a bit, but I let her hug me, feeling a strange warmth inside of me.

"Wednesday! I'm so glad you're here"
She said, smiling ear to ear.

"It's good to see you too"

She pulled back from the hug "This is going to be the best summer ever!"
