Chapter 2
"I love you honey and don't forget to text and call me all the time. I'm gonna miss you but I know you'll have a better summer with Jen!" she finishes just as my flight is called.
"Bye mom! I love, and don't worry I'll keep you updated!" I say wrapping my arms around her then heading off.

"Cacia? Omg! Look at you! I haven't seen you in like 3 year! You grew your hair out and you got so much taller!" I hear and turn around to see Jen.
I've always had my hair a decent length, it was never really short but I haven't gotten a big hair cut in a while, just trims when I really need it. My blonde hair reaches a little past the middle of my back.
And she is also right about my height. I'm now 5'10. I've always been pretty tall, I think the last time she saw me I was 5'7 or something like that.
"Jen!" I say hugging her excitedly.
"Thank you so much for taking me in this summer!" I say.
"Oh it's no problem! I love having you around. Since I Max and I never had kids you are like ours!" she says with a smile.
I return the look and she takes two of my four suit cases and leads me to the truck.
"Gosh girl, why do you need four suit cases!" she groans lugging the bags.
This is why I love Jen. She is 30 and still acts like a kid.
"Hey! I'm not good at planing what I'm gonna wear so I just threw all my summer clothes into the suit cases!" I say back and she laughs.

"Here we are!" she says pulling up to and beach house that looks too good to be true.
"You live here?" I ask.
"Yeah, Max owns his own business so we've got some cash." she shrugs taking my bags out the back.
"Hey! Let me help you ladies with those!" a mans voice says and I turn to see Max.
"Maxy!" I yell running towards him and jumping in his arms. He was like a big brother to me. That's older by 13 years...
"Cacia! I haven't seen you in forever! Man you have grown up! Better keep you away from those boys though." he says trying to sound serious but that just doesn't work for him.
"So let's go show you your room!" Jen cheers rushing inside the house with me after her leaving Max to take all my bags.
"And this is where you will be staying!" Jen says pushing open double doors to reveal a perfect tumblr bedroom.
"Jen! I love it!" I say taking it all in.
The walls are a light shade of blue with a white fluffy carpet and light blue bed spread with white sheets. The dressers, bed side table, and makeup table are painted a newly coat of white paint. I turn to see two curtains and look out farther to see its a balcony with a beach right below it looking out to the ocean. To the other side is a sort which I'm guess is the bathroom and another that leads into a walk in closet.
There are icicle lights hanging from the top of the walls all around my room and on the wall above my bed is a line from a song made our of cut out news paper saying "Take Me Away; A Secret Place"
Opposite that is a flat screen tv and one of those egg chair things in the corner.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" I squeal jumping up and down.
"Awe sweeting you're welcome! I was hoping you'd like it!" she says.
"I got the bags!" Max says coming in dragging them in the floor.
"Well I'll just leave you to unpack then! Just press that button as talk if you need anything." she say gesturing to and intercom thing.
"Ok. Thanks Jen and Max!"
"You're welcome sweetie." the both say at the same time.
I have a feeling I'm going to love it here.
