A/N: Apologies for the short length but this was simmering at the top of my head this afternoon and I just had to get it down with the short time I had... also, I haven't slept in more than 24 hours so if it's shit I can blame the lack of sleep for now lol.

Summary: Amy Raudenfeld didn't think her life could get worse. No boyfriend, House Hunters, and donuts? And now she has to go on a camping trip with her family, and to make things worse Lauren decides to bring her girlfriend along.

Why

Amy Raudenfeld had concluded, on the eighteenth day of July, that her life was utter shit.

Why me

Her boyfriend had broken up with her a couple of days ago. Her favourite show House Hunters was cancelled. Her favourite donut shop had closed down for good. And to top it all off, her family was going on a camping trip despite her and Lauren's objections to the idea.

Why, why, why, why

"Are you alright back there honey?" Her mom called from the passenger's seat at the front. Amy had almost forgotten that she was sitting in the trunk with all their camping supplies. They had been driving for about an hour and a half or so and her mind had gotten the best of her as she had been distracted by her never-ending thoughts to notice her body was sitting in a way that was unnatural. The teen struggled to move her right arm and wasn't surprised to find that numbness had overtaken the limb.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she grumbled as she tried to regain consciousness in her arm. Letting out a sigh, she realized that this was just the beginning of the hell that awaited her. She usually didn't mind the outdoors, but this past month had been so shitty that spending time around a constant bevy of bugs whilst going through her period with no running water (real bodies of water didn't count) did not appeal to her at the least. As if sensing her dour mood, Amy's step-dad spoke up sounding almost apologetic.

"Look, your mother and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to spend some quality family time together."

"Family time? Why did Lauren get to bring her girlfriend then?"

"Leave my girlfriend out of this," Lauren immediately hissed from the middle seats as the brunette beside her shuffled uncomfortably. Amy's eyes narrowed and the two stepsisters had a silent battle using the best death glares they could muster.

"Amy that is no way to talk to a guest!" Her mom exclaimed in disapproval.

"I wasn't even talking to her…"

"You know what I mean! I can't believe how childish you're being right now. Out of all the people I expected more from you."

Amy didn't say anything in reply and opted to listen to music instead. Her hands awkwardly but surely found her earphones in her pockets and she plugged the set into her iPod and turned it up to the loudest. She needed something to calm her down. Anything. She wasn't usually this easily agitated but boy was this month filled with many unexpected surprises.

Gradually she calmed down. It wasn't long before she was mouthing the lyrics to the catchy tune, subtly nodding her head with the beat. She might have been oblivious to her body's uncomfortable place in the back but she wasn't oblivious to the pair of eyes that had chanced a glance to her. To Amy's surprise it was the eyes of her stepsister's long-time girlfriend.

Karma Ashcroft.

The pretty brunette that had boys pining after her since she stepped foot into Hester High more than a year ago. Small, cute, did protests, and said things without a filter. How the brunette and her sister got along at all still confused her to this day.

The look that Karma gave her was a guilty one, as if Amy's current state in the trunk was all her fault. Like it was all her fault that the blonde had lost all feeling in her arm and possibly most of her limbs.

It kinda was Amy thought, but she knew better. The blonde had chosen the trunk to distance herself from Lauren and Karma. She didn't like sitting near couples, being the dreaded third-wheel. And being a third-wheel to your sister? Nope, she was definitely going to stick to the trunk. It was better than having to sit near Lauren and Karma while they giggled or, god forbid, scissored or whatever lesbians did.

And as if on cue, Karma leaned closer to Lauren and whispered something only the two of them could hear. The couple started giggling and Amy closed her eyes and concentrated on her music. Trying hard to keep herself from barfing.

This was going to be a long trip.
