Claire looked at her parents in disbelif. She looked from them to the four plan tickets in her hand. They were tickets to New York.
"How did you get theses?" she asked
"Well, your mother and I wanted to surprise you. We spoke to your sister Victoria-" her dad started
"Tori, dad" Claire intrupted "she likes to be called Tori"
"Yes...your sister Tori, said she was happy to let you stay with her and her roommates" Claire's dad finished
"Wait? Roommates?" Claire asked eyes wide
"Yes, you remember. Daren Harrison and Kevin Martin. You four use to hang out when you where in middle school or was it high school" her mother answered
Claire remembered perfectly. Tori, Daren and Kevin. The three people who had kept an eye on her through middle school and high school. Daren and Kevin had always been like brothers to her, while Tori was her sister. They must be around the same age and Michael, Shane and Eve now. The last time Claire saw them, was before they went to college. Her sister had gone to an acting college in New York. She didn't know where Daren and Kevin where going.
"Didn't Daren drop out?" Claire thought
Claire looked over at a picture on the table. One of her and her sister. They had always looked same. Brown hair and brown eyes. Only Claire had been short and cute, while her sister was tall and hot. A total difference in personality as well. Claire stuck to the books, while her sister did crazy things. Sometimes dragging Claire into them as well. Claire smiled at the thought of some of them.
"Yes, well here" her dad handed her something
It was a little piece of paper with a number on it. Claire studied it for a few moments.
"It's Tori's number" her father laughed
"Um..one more thing" Claire said
"What's that sweetie?" her mom asked
"How are we going to be able to leave Morganville?" Claire asked
"Oh, that...well Amelie is allowing you out for two weeks" her mother answered
Claire's mouth dropped open once again and she stared at them for a moment. Her dad then past her a envelope. She opened it and four, red passes fell out. Passes out of Morganville.
"Hey, mom" Claire looked up at her parents
"Yes?" her mom said
"Doesn't Tori live in a apartment?" Claire asked
"No, she has a house about an few hours drive from New York, I think somewhere in New Jersey" her mother had now entered the kitchen
"Are you coming?" Claire asked
"No, me and your mother are going to stay here" her dad answered
"So are you saying you want me to bring my friends?" Claire looked at him
"Yes, me and your mother are happy to trust your friends will keep an eye on you" her dad sighed like he was starting to regret it
"Thank you so much" Claire hugged him
"Your welcome sweetie and promise you'll be safe. New York may not be Morganville, but still be safe" her dad instructed
"I know" she told him
Claire went into the hall way and grabbed her bag. She looked down at the tickets and saw that they had to leave friday. Today was Wednesday. That was good. Claire smiled, said good-bye to her parents, before walking out the front door.
Eve was so going to love this.
