A/N: Here is a story, for Twilight. Even though I promised not to write for this category, here I am. But it's not a happy hunky dory story, I got it off of (Currently) Farmer-Girl-Owl's story IslandClan. Except it's different.
It was going to be a wonderful girl's week out, Sarah had said. Her parents were quite wealthy, and they had allowed the girls to take it out and go boating. There was a wonderful hotel farther down the shore, and that was where we were headed. New Jersey wasn't the best place to be in the fall, it got too cold too soon.
This boating trip gave us the chance to get away from everything, and I was going to take every chance. My boyfriend, Chris, was getting abusive, and I needed time away from him. "Kelsey?" my mom softly asked, poking her head in my door. "Sarah just called. She needs you down by the dock in ten minutes."
I smile at my mother, wordlessly thanking her. I grab my Twilight book and shove it into a plastic bag. I would kill someone if it got wet during the boat trip. My pack was finished. The bright red backpack was stuffed with some clothes, a water bottle, and a pack of chips, just in case we got hungry.
I slung it over my shoulder, and stepped out of my house. The bright sun gleamed down, and the September air was slightly chilly in Manahawkin New Jersey. The trees were still all green, but I knew that if this weather kept up, they would be bright and colorful soon. The sky was clear above me, but there was a deposit of clouds on the horizon. I brushed them off, however. The sky was clear enough to keep away the clouds until we were safely in the warm waters of Georgia.
I began walking and thinking of the trip. We were only supposed to stay there for a week, and it took six hours to get there by boat. It would be perfect, and we would get back just in time for school to start. It would be girls only, and the only boy would be Jesse, Kris's adorable son. She was taking him along because John had bailed on her, and her sister refused to take him while Kris 'was having fun.'
The docks came into view, and I could see my friends gathered around a small boat. All were cooing at the baby that Kris held in her hands, and I couldn't help but smile. Jesse was really cute.
"Great!" Sarah exclaimed, waving me over. "Kelsey is here, we can start!" My friends all hop into the boat, and with a twist of the keys, Sarah starts it. I rush over the gangplank, and Karen pulled it into the boat before giving me a huge hug.
"This is going to be fun," Nico said, resting against a seat. We all nodded with her. What a great way to start a girl's night out! Unlucky for us, the clouds I saw earlier were a lot more menacing than I thought. That and they would change my life forever.
