So far in the book Carl Ray and Maggie are annoying Mary Lou. Maggie got home at 2 in the morning from her date and got in trouble. When she went to her room she was crying and threw her shoes to the floor and turned on the light while Mary Lou was sleeping and woke her up. Mary Lu wanted to go to Beth Ann’s house but couldn’t until CArl Ray got up she could make his bed. Mary Lou didn’t go after all because Carl Ray woke up at noon and Beth Ann went out with her parents. Five days later after Carl Ray stayed in Mary Lou’s house he finally got a job at a hardware store on Friday, June 22. Unfortunatetly, Mr furtz got sick on Monday, June 25 and two days laeter on Wednesday, June 27, he died from a heart attack.

Not a bad summary but it could flow better. Re-read what you write to make sure it says exactly what you mean. Also - be specific - write as if you are writing to someone who has not read the book.
