July 2nd, 1979LA
Waking up again yet to another morning, I wipe the slob off the corner of my face. Debating whether or not if I should get up and be productive or lay down and be lazy. As you know I did what was most best for me, which is to lay back down stuffing the right side of my face in the pillow closing my eyes again.
Not even five minutes have passed and already there was a knock at my door. Just great!. Thinking to myself while dreading to go to the door. I now open it seeing my father with my eyes barely open but they become wider as I see some what of a face I can not yet describe. "Yeah dad.... a-are you okay" questioning him I see one of his arms behind his back which means he got me something.
Quickly turning on the light to my room I start to squeal when I see him pull out a new pair of keys from behind his back. "Dad you got me a CAR!." Jumping up and down I frankly stop as I wonder why he got me one. Since he was the same one that told me I had to work hard for one. I became confused and questioned him. "So you got me a car.... unless something is going on or you must have lots of money to spare" pacing my eyes back and forth into his eyes, I see my mama come in the room.
"Come on baby let's go and check out your new ride" Looking into her face expressing the same confusion to her, seeing her smile so wide. I than feel her grab my arm walking me outside to the car and I nearly almost screamed. They both got me a 79' 450sl mercedes something that I always thought about wanting for my sixteenth birthday but never got it because we we're always in a tight bind with money. But now ever since we moved to LA for my dad to be closer to his new business job he's been able to make that happen and for a whole lotta money that he was getting paid.
Although it did dawn on me, on what his profession was but I never asked. "So unless you guys changed your mind or your not telling me something" I cross my arms looking at both of them still in shock about my new car. They both seem to look very hesitant as I wait for them to answer the question. So instead I turn around grazing my finger of the outside exterior on the car's tented windows, along with the silver lining of the outside.
I than hear them both speak but my mother stops and let's my father continue. "Well we got you this car because we knew it was gonna be hard getting one on your own so consider this a gift, and also because I'll- we'll be leaving soon me and your mother". Huffing at the last part he just said I roll my eyes and turn around facing them both.
"Mhm... I see so you guys bought me a car just to butter me up to that fact that your leaving me again". Me being stubborn I walk to the front door and say "I don't want the car" while walking into the house, going straight into the kitchen. I than see my mama coming up behind me trying to say something but my dad doesn't let her.
"Michelle... Let me talk to her" my heart starts to pound in my chest at an inhumane speed, at the sound of my Mama's name. Memories of nine years ago started to flash and playback in my head of that very day.....
