Chapter 1 *

"Hey Kirst, You awake?"

"Does it look like I'm awake?" Kirsten replied.

Monique looked over at her younger sister, "I'm going to pull over at this rest stop, pee now or forever hold it in."

Kirsten glared at Monique, "You know you interrupted my Matt dream again."

Monique laughed, "Yeah, I know, you had that look on your face."

"I'm not like you right now." Kirsten stated.

Monique parked the moving van and the girls got out and took care of their business. As they went into the convenience store, Monique noticed that Kirsten had spotted the magazine rack. "Don't even think it." Monique stated.

"Think what, big sister?" Kirsten replied with an offended innocent look on her face.

"I saw you eyeing the magazine rack, Don't do it. You'll wind up buying half the magazines."

Kirsten sighed, "Fine, but if I see the boyz, I'm getting it."

Monique laughed, "You're a nut."

"Please, and you know you want Jeffrey Nero. Don't deny it."

Monique rolled her eyes and went to get some food while Kirsten strolled over to check out the magazine rack anyway. It was half true-Monique did find the multi-colored athlete somewhat appealing and at this point it was annoying. She didn't even want to think about men let alone some untouchable celebrity. They are all such jerks(especially famous ones that were full of themselves)-everyone she had ever been in love with, liked somewhat or dated even once had left a scar. The girls trek was partially because of the need Monique had to put as much distance between herself and the last guy she had opened up her life too. Monique kept reminding herself that this was for her own sanity and emotional well being. All she wanted was to be free from the smothering past and the only way to get that was to start over, in an unknown city.
