Ahh. First day of summer vacation. The one day every living being dreams of. I know I do at least. And while everybody else goes to parties, goes on vacation, or has an awesome sleepover, I have to go on a family road trip. I mean come on! It is summer for goodness sake! My best friend is having this amazing sleepover and I have to miss it. Ugh.
"Jess.... Jess!" My mom yells over the music blaring in my ears as I try to drown out my misery on this long road trip.
I take out my ear buds and give her this "It better be important" look. "What."
"You have been listening to music this whole time. It is time you spend some time with the family. After all, we still have two more hours left." She gave me this grin that I despised most. It was her way of annoying me. It worked. I was annoyed and she knew it. "Bailey has been talking to us this whole time. Why don't you act more like her and not so much of a bratty teenager." There it is. That one line I hate so much! Why don't you act like Bailey. Why don't I? Because I am not her!
"Mom. You forced me on this stupid road trip when I could be at an awesome sleepover. I at least want to be half happy. Which is what my music does. Makes me happy."
"Oh Jess. You need to calm it. Its not the last sleepover you will ever go to." Bailey was trying to act like the innocent one. Like always.
"Loser! Loser! Loser!" My annoying younger brothers sang at the same time. They do that for no reason all the time and its really annoying.
"Shut up dimwits!" I spun around, trying to shut them up in the back seat.
"I know you are but what am I?!" Jordan was the youngest. He was about 7. And that was his line. That over used line that was so offensive when I was his age.
"Everybody stop!" My mom yelled as she slammed on the brakes. The roads were icy and snow blew everywhere. I could feel our tires loose traction and the car started to spin. I had taken off my seatbelt to turn around and mess with the boys.
At that moment, I could see me and Baileys long brown hair fly in front of our faces and cover our blue eyes. From that point on, it was black. And I woke up motionless in the snow. I only felt half alive. I probably was only half alive.
