Where i need to be part 8 (back to
original size i think lol)
I woke in the morning really confused. Wha-What was going on? i
went to sit up when everything came back. Oh. I was in the roach
motel i thought to myself. But then i realized that i couldn't
sit up. Brandon's arm was wrapped around my abdomen. (it was
also my birthday i just remembered. Talk about the greatest
gift EVER!) I could feel his breath on my neck. we pressed
against each other. he murmured in his sleep, "No, no
don't take her! you can't !" as i tried to move away a
little. I couldn't tell him. I couldn't' lead him
on. I couldn't ruin our friendship by telling him i was in
love with him. No.
"come on! wake up sleepy head!" i said shaking him
awake.
"Huh?Wah?"
"It's almost five. and there's a bug crawling on my
pillow, i vote we leave now." i told him.
He sat right up suddenly and frighteningly awake.
"AGREED!"
We left the motel at 5 and were on our way to Georgia. Only about 3
more hours left. I was driving. We finally entered Georgia. We
stopped for food and i wanted to try and call my dad again.
We were in a little town call Riverrock and we decided on stopping
into a diner for lunch. The diner was deserted and we took a booth
near the window. When the waitress ( may i mention she
was gorgeous and Brandon couldn't take his eyes off
her) came i ordered a BLT with a diet coke and Brandon had a
cheeseburger with extra everything and a coke.
I stared out the window distracted when Brandon brought me back to
Earth. "Heyylooo! maybe you should call your dad and assure
him that were not married now"
"Yeah i'm gunna do that now."
There was a pay phone outside so i dialed the number and my dad
picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"hi daddy."
"Happy birthday sunshine!"
"Thanks...are you still mad?"
"Very. But since you're eighteen i can't punish you
until you get home. Honey why did you want to do this? You
don't know what it's like there, and frankly neither do i.
i'm worried" so he thought my mom parents made her go
insane.
""Do you think they- they caused her to-?"
"I don't know. which is why i want you to come
home!"
"Dad i can't. I'm sorry."
He sighed. He soundeed old, worn out. "Well i guess i
can't do anything now...i love you sweetheart. If you need
anything. anything at all. Money clothes food? you just call me
okay?"
"Okay i will. Thank you dad, for understanding."
"You're welcome. Bye"
"Bye daddy."
I hung up the phone and walked inside. When i approached the
table i saw a cake on the table with 18 candles and written on the
cake was ROADTRIP!
I beamed as Brandon stood up and yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY
SCARLETT!" and hugged me. The staff and the two people in the
resturaunt said awe and clapped their hands.
We sat down and i blew out my candles. I made a wish. That Brandon
would fall inlove with me. And that we'd live happily ever
after. "What'd you wish for? come on you can tell
me!" he said still smiling.
"If i told you it wouldn't come true!" wasn't
that the truth.
"Alright alright! Gift time!" he said pulling out a small
box wrapped in newspaper tied with a white ribbon. Fancy for
Brandon's standards. But he tried. And that's all that
mattered.
"Go on! open that sucker up before i do!"
I did as i was told. Inside i found a pair of the most beautiful
earrings i had ever seen. They had a small sapphire inside a
setting of diamonds. My eyes welled with tears. Brandon came over
and gave me a hug. He knew that they were tears of happiness and
that he loved them. He also knew i hated the line 'oh you hate
them don't you?'
"You're not the only who's been saving up Scar."
he said kissing me on the check and giving me a bear hug.
I put the earrings on as soon as he let me go. "They
look really good on you, it makes you look like a real Scarlett
O'Hara."
We ate our meal remising the entire time about our childhood and
how we grew up but never apart.
"Shouldn't you call your parents too? Won't they be
worried?"i asked him
"Pfft. No! God they're happy i'm being a normal
teenager for once and getting in trouble!"
"Lucky you!"
we continued talking and when we were about to leave an older
couple approached us. The lady said to me and Brandon, "You
two are the cutest couple i have ever seen. It is so nice to see
young love nowadays. You know me and my husband started out just
like you two? Yessir and we've been together since. Isn't
that right honey?" she said patting his chest. It was obvious
she had trouble walking so she leaned on him for support. And he
helped her every step of the way.
"Sorry ma'am but me and Scarlett here are just the best of
friends. Were like this" Brandon said to her crossing his
fingers.
"Just you wait son. Someday soon." The man said to him
wagging his finger. The couple walked out of the restraunt. The
waitress came over and asked if we needed anything else, "No
just the check please," i said still a little choked up.
"Oh honey that couple took care of that for you."
"O well, um have a nice day!" i said as Brandon and
i stood up to leave. I tripped and in a second Brandon was at my
side to help support me, just as the old man helped his wife. Once
i was steady on my feet again, he let me go and we walked to Rusty
in a peaceful silence. With me and Brandon, silence was never
awkward.
