"𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕?!" 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒂 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔

"You and your friends are going to cousins for the summer. I'll be going with you, the girls as well," Amelie informed her daughter as she lugged her suitcase down the 3 story staircase

"Mama, isn't that a bit extreme, we're not even friends anymore," Francesca said as she tried to convince her mom to not have them go, not ready to face the people she used to call her friends

"Don't be dramatic Francesca Lilou, as long as you fight for them you're still friends," Amelie scolded as she placed her suitcase by the front door of the Dubois residence

"Go back, I've already contacted their parents, everyone is packed but you and Caleb," Amelie told her daughter as she walked back up the stairs grabbing Carolina and Natalia's suitcases

Francesca let out a noise of anger as she stormed up the stairs, slamming her door behind her. Ever since that night, she had been in contact with 3 total people, Cora, Adi, and Theo. Everyone else had either blocked her or ignored her, and that hurt more than anything. She had been the reason they were where they were today and they dropped her all because of a little unfairness. Life wasn't fair, so why did they all throw a fit over not being included in every little thing? A group of 10 people wasn't easy to be around, especially when they all didn't along all the time. Half of them were scared of at least one of the people and so why would they expect to be included in every little thing? Francesca didn't know but she was pissed, pissed at everything. She had been drunk every night since they broke up and had made her brother relapse, she didn't need to go to cousins right now. The only good thing about cousins was seeing the fishers, the conjoins, and the smiths. That was it. The summer squad going to cousins would ruin everything.

"Fran, are you okay?" Carolina asked her sister as she helped the girl back her luggage

"I'm fine, Care, don't worry about me," Francesca gave a small fake smile, a smile that didn't reach her eyes like they normally did

"Cay's scaring me, he's not okay," Carolina told her sister as she folded up Francesca's swimsuits, making sure to make more than 6

"What do you mean, Care?" Francesca asked her sister, not liking that Caleb was scaring his little sisters

"He's just not himself. I understand it, dads made us that way but he's very irritable lately," Care explained as she sat down on Frans bed

"Care, he's just dealing with stuff, but he's the same old Caleb, just a little bit more reserved that's all." Francesca tried to reassure her sister but she could tell the way she just shrugged that Carolina wasn't reassured
