Sighing, I closed my diary and plugged in my earphones. I shut my eyes and let the beautiful voice of James Blunt lull me to sleep. After what felt like a few seconds I felt someone prodding my cheek. I swatted their hand away and forced my eyes open. My younger brother Scott was bouncing up and down in his car seat, clapping his hands together.
“Lizzie! Lizzie! Mummy said wakey-wakey!” I smiled at him.
“I’m up! I’m up!” Scott continued clapping. I looked at my mum, from the backseat of the car, and sighed.
“You woke me up because...?”
“We are gonna stop at this gas station, so I would like you to take Scott to the bathroom please.”
“Ugh, fine. I need to stretch my legs anyway. Being stuck in a car for 5 hours has made me loose feeling in them.” Mum looked at me in the rear-view mirror and smiled.
“Well after this stop it’s only another two hours, then we’re home.”
We pulled into the gas station and I hopped out of the car. I leaned back in and started to unbuckle Scott from his seat. I lifted him out and placed him on my hip. He lopped his arms around my neck and rested his head on my shoulders’.
“Want me to get you some sweeties whilst we’re in there?” I asked Scott as we entered. He started squealing.
“Yes!” I smiled and held up a finger in warning.
“But you can’t tell mummy. Or Lizzie will get in trouble.” Scott gasped, then quickly put his finger to his lips, smiling.
I looked around the gas station and groaned. It was filthy. The floor looked like it hadn’t had a good clean in years and the shelves were covered in dust.
“Um, excuse me, could you point me in the direction of the bathrooms please?” I asked the old man sat behind the counter. He was wearing a blue faded baseball cap and matching jacket. His face was covered in wrinkles and he was wearing big thick black framed glasses. He looked up at me and Scott and smiled at us.
“Sure thing kiddo.” I frowned; I hated it when people called me kid. He pointed to the back of the store. We made our way to the bathrooms and were about enter when suddenly Scott started squirming in my arms. “Scott! Will...you stop...squirming!”
“I’m a big boy. I wanna go to the bathroom by myself!” I set him down on the ground and he ran into the bathroom.
“I’ll be right outside. Ok Scott?”
“Yeah!” I leaned against the wall and pulled out my phone and texted my bestfriend Jake. We had been bestfriends since nursery.
To: SEX GOD ;)<3
HEY JAKE! Missin u loads! U will have to come n visit us soon! Xoxo
I quickly sent it.
“Scott, you Ok in there?” I asked knocking on the door. A few moments later Scott came running out and jumped into my arms. He was smiling widely.
“Can we get sweeties now Lizzie?” I started walking up and down the isle.
“Sure. What do you want?” Scott scrunched his face up as he thought.
“Oh I know! Gummy worms!” He started clapping. I laughed and grabbed the bag and pulling out my purse. I also grabbed some crisps and some magazine’s just in case I got bored. We walked up to the counter and the man smiled at us again. I smiled back and set the items down. The man looked down at them and back up at me. I shrugged and paid for the items. I quickly exited the gas station and headed back towards the car, buckling Scott in.
