"Mary!" Mrs. Jones, yelled from the dining room.
"Yes, Mother," Mary replied, hopping down the stairs, and entering the dining room.
"Did you ask your friend, Julia, about vacation?" Mrs. Jones asked.
"Yes," Mary told her. Her mother nodded. They were going to the beach for vaction.
"Are you ready?" She asked Mary. Mary nodded her head.
"Is she ready, too?" She asked.
"Yep," Mary stated, even though she was unsure because she hadn't checked to see if Julia really was.
"Well," Mrs. Jones said, getting up,"Let's go."
Mary got out her cell phone and texted Julia.
Mary: Hey Julia.
Julia: Hey!
Mary: Are you ready to go?
Julia: Yeah. When will you be here?
Mary: In about fifteen minutes.
Julia: Okay. See you.
Mary: See you.
Mary went back upstairs and grab her purple suitcase with a pink bow on it. She put her 5SOS hoodie on and went downstairs. When she got down the steps her Mother was waiting for her.
"Hurry up," her Mother told her. Mary picked up her pace. She grabbed her black and white drawn on converse, sat down and put them on.
"Come on, we're going to be late!" Mrs. Jones grabbed her sixteen year old daughter by the arm and pulled her to her feet. Mary flinched. Her Mother, Mrs. Kristen Jones, abuses her. She has abused her for two years.
Mary walked passed her, grab her suitcase, and made her way to the car. She got into the back and put her suitcase behind her. Kristen came out and got into the driver side. she turned around and slapped Mary in the face.
"Don't you ever walk away from me, missy!" she yelled. "Do you understand me?"
Mary nodded, holding her cheek, and trying to hold back tears. Kristen turned back around and started the car. The drive to Julia's house was silent.
When they got there, Mary got out of the car and walked up to Julia's front door. She knocked and waited. Julia answered a couple minutes later.
"Hey, girl," Julia said when she opened the door.
"Hey," Mary replied, hugging her friend.
"Ready to get a tan?" julia said, hugging her back, then picking up her suitcase, and headed towards the car. Mary walked back slowly. When Julia put her suitcase in the back, her and Mary got into the car.
"Hi, Julia," Mrs. Jones said, with a happy look on her face.
"Hey, Mrs. J. How are you?" Julia asked, smiling.
"I'm good, you?" she replied.
"I'm good and thanks for letting me come along." Julia told her.
"Anytime Julia," Kristen smiled. She put the car in drive and started the long seven hour trip to Sandbridge, Virginia.
"I'm so excited!" Julia squealed.
"Me too," Mary said, but not as happy. She closed her eyes and felt Julia put her feet on her lap. she did the same back and they both fell asleep, wondering what was coming up next in the near future.
