-------------Xana's P.O.V--------
It was awful, mother was running after me, calling me horrible names.
"Get back here you dumb emo freak! You're fucking worthless!" she screamed at me, wielding a sharp knife.
I kept running, and running, but she was too fast for me. I took a sharp turn down an alley and hid behind a dumpster, panting heavily.
"I know you're hiding, I can smell you," she said. I peeked around the corner to see her, a devious grin plastered across her face.
"You can't hide from mommy, no one can,"
Oh god. This bitch is crazy, I thought to myself. I looked again to see if she had left, and was happily surprised to see that she wasn't there. I slumped against the wall of a building and tried to catch my breath. When I turned my head, I came face to face with my mother. Her putrid breath made me gag, she reeked of rotten milk and beer. She raised her knife high in the air and brought it down.
"Xana, you ok?" I heard my father say, he had awoken me just before my mother killed me.
"Huh? Wha-yeah, yeah. I'm fine," I told him. I didn't want him to know the horrible dream I just had.
He said he thought I was having a nightmare, I nervously told him that it was no big deal, I got them all the time.
"It's because she's a freak, of you're wondering," Laina so kindly added to the conversation.
My famous father told her if she didn't stop talking, he would smash her precious phone into little pieces. When she responded that he didn't have the balls to wreck her phone, he exited the car and put her phone under the front wheel.
"Your choice," he said smugly when he returned to the car.
"Fine, you win," she said angrily,
"I always do," he responded with a grin as he retrieved her phone.
I sat back and chuckled to myself, Laina was finally getting disciplined.
Hours passed and we finally reached our first destination; a Best Western.
"Alrighty, looks like we'd better call it a night," my dad said.
I glanced at the clock, it read 11:47. Almost midnight. I usually stayed up 'till 3 listening to music, but I was exhausted.
While my dad was checking us in, Laina and sat down in two comfy chairs.
"Man, I am so tired," I thought aloud.
"Ugh, me too," Laina said, closing her eyes and massaging her temples.
We sat, side-by-side, not saying a word to each other.
"Ok girls, you guys can share a room, and I'll take one for myself," he told us, handing Laina a key.
"Kay, night dad," Laina said, striding away.
"Night," he called after her.
"Goodnight dad," I said, hugging him tightly.
"Goodnight honey," he said, hugging me back.
I ran after my sister and caught up with her just before she went on the elevator.
"What room are we in?" I asked her as we stepped inside the elevator.
"Uhh, I think it's 220," she said.
I nodded my head and leaned against the wall.
Once we had reached our room I threw my suitcase on my bed and made my way to the bathroom. I stepped inside the shower and turned on the water. Once it heated up a bit I turned on the shower head and let the hot water fall over me. I could feel the stress wash away from me. Now that I was with my dad, nothing could damper my spirits, not even my sister's awful comments.
When I finished my shower, I dressed in my pajamas and fell into bed, exhausted from the events that had happened.
-------------Jake's P.O.V-------------
I went into my room, ready to pass out. I threw my bag on the freshly-made bed and flicked on the t.v. I wasn't going to watch it, I just needed something to distract me while I got settled in. I took of my shirt and pants, leaving me in nothing but my boxers. I went to the bathroom and washed my face, splashing myself with warm water. After that I shut the light off and jumped into bed. I grabbed my phone and checked my messages. I had a bunch from Andy and Ashley, but that was it. I looked through my contacts until I found Xana's.
'Goodnight, love! Not too late ;)' I sent her. She didn't respond, so I assumed she had fallen asleep.
'Night Lainey! Love ya!' I sent to Laina, she responded almost instantly.
'K.' she responded. I rolled my eyes at her response. I didn't think much of her rude behavior. I was used to it by now.
I turned off my phone and the t.v and laid my head down on the pillow. I exhaled deeply and closed my eyes. I instantly fell asleep. Dreams of happiness swooped over me.
