Plans

"I'll see you later, okay?" Stacey said as she dropped Julia off in from of Dawn's house. Julia nodded her head and thanked Stacey for the ride. She called Dawn after her and Stacey ate breakfast, making sure she was all right after seeing her and Brianne get into it this morning over who knows what. Dawn assured her that she was fine but Julia insisted on coming over anyways. That, and Angie decided to be a bitch this morning and Julia wasn't going to spend all day watching her parents fight with her little sister.

"Dawn! I'm home! Dawn?" Julia shouted walking into the front living room.

"In here!" Dawn yelled back from the den. Julia walked through the quiet home and saw Dawn curled up on the couch watching The Goonies. "Hey, Jules".

"Hi, Dawn". Julia walked behind the couch and gave Dawn a friendly kiss on the head. She made herself comfortable at the other end of the couch, Dawn offering her friend to share her blanket. They both sat there in comfortable silence watching one of their favorite movies.

When the movie ended, Julia broke the silence. "So what's up?"

Dawn smiled, "Well, when I woke up my parents were packing. Turns out, my dad's business trip had to start early and my mom decided to go with him because he's flying to Florida. So, no parents for five days!"

A smirk grew across Julia's face. "We're going to get so wasted!" Both the girls laughed and talked about where they would get a keg, when they should go to the store for liquor and who they should invite for the big party.

"Definitely need Tori and Sylvia to come! Those two are hilarious when they're wasted. And the band guys even though they're kind of obnoxious. Stacey, Eddie and Zack, Mod will bring weed, Brianne, but no Pete. Hanky can come, but I can't see Pete or Dylan," Julia stated with a hurt look on her face.

"Maybe Brianne shouldn't come either," Dawn said before she could stop herself. Almost like clockwork, when she thought about Brianne a lump in her throat formed.

"Dawn, why are you guys fighting? I drove by your house this morning to see if you were there after I broke up with Pete and saw you guys arguing". Julia saw Dawn's face change from uncomfortable to downright depressed.

"It's nothing, really. She's just being stupid. Whatever, I'm sure she'll end up coming anyways, especially if Mod's here."

"Is that what this is about? Mod? Do you like him or something?"

"Mod?! Oh, God no! She's the one who's trying to get with him or whatever. Look, screw Brianne. We're having this party and its going to be even better than last night's!" Dawn forced a smile on her face.

"You're right! Screw Pete too. I broke up with him and I refuse to let myself get carried back into that situation." Julia declared, holding back a tear in her eye. Part of her was so angry but the other part missed him already.

"Wait, you guys really broke up? I thought it was just a fight?" Dawn asked the blonde.

"I know, Stacey said the same thing. But, I can't do it anymore. Next year we're going to be seniors, and I can't have Pete drowning me anymore. I know I screw up. I do, but Pete screws up and doesn't learn anything or try to fix it. He could have graduated, even with shitty grades, if he had just shown up to class!" Julia exclaimed out in one breath.

"What an idiot! Whatever, screw him. He's just as bad as Dylan," Dawn added.

"I know." Julia paused, rubbing her forehead. "I can't waste my summer thinking about Pete."

"Well, then we better start making some phone calls!" Dawn sang handing Julia the phone. Julia put on a big smile and started dialing numbers.
