THE CITY OF FORKS WELCOMES YOU!
"Welcomes me huh." Looking at the sign as we drive past it. These past four months have been rough. And I mean "rough." Every year or two, we have to move. Soon as I get comfortable, shit like this happens. Out of the blue.
You might ask "For what?" Frankly my dear I can't answer that. Because I don't have a damn clue. Just like, I don't have a damn clue why we are here. In this Rainy. Ass. Town.
The sad part about it? there's no sun. I mean, NO. SUN. The clouds frown upon the town as the sun has given up its job. Even though the sun comes out barely (I do my research before we move) the scenery is beautiful. I have never seen so much...greenery? in one place. So many trees, bushes, landscapes, etc. And it smells so refreshing. In the city, all you see are buildings on top of buildings.
Little bushes in areas where trees used to grow. Like the park, I used to go to, when I needed to clear my head. Now, it's a kindergarten school. But here, there are so many tresses. No, not just tress. Nature. It's beautiful. So, refreshing you can breathe freely, without breathing in the pollution in the air.
I know it'll be hard once we have to move again. Just by looking around my surroundings. Ugh, just thinking about it, almost killed my good vibe. Almost. Our last home, if can say that, was beautiful. Not as beautiful as the nature in front of me. But, beautiful and cozy in its way.
As I look in between the trees, I thought I was a shadow. Like someone running? I tried looking again but, didn't see anything unusual. Then again, it is raining outside, and slightly dark. the way the sky looks, and how harsh it's raining, you can make out anything your brain and eyes want to see. Playing tricks on you.
After a while of staring into the bliss, sleep finally creeps up on my mind. Making me drowsy and tired. Looking down at my phone, it read; 6:55 pm. No wonder I'm tired, all yesterday we've backed up the things we needed. leaving behind unnecessary things that we don't need. well, I leave behind half of my unnecessary things. To Davids's annoyance. He'll understand one day once he turns into a woman. Of course, in another lifetime that is.
Putting my phone down, I lean my head against the window. allowing the cold from the window cool down my greasy hair. frowning, I reach up to my head to scratch it, feeling the grim of sweat from my scalp. Bring my hand down I smell my fingers, "Ew." It smells like sweat and sulfur8.
Damn, I need to take a shower. I didn't get a chance to last night, due to packing and waking up wee in the morning. Ugh, I'm so not a morning person. Letting out a sigh, I look up at the rear-view mirror, David's eyes look tired too. David is more a morning person than I am. But, this look he's wearing right now, tells me he needs a break too.
As I took one last look at him, I notice he had a small grin on his face, "How's the smell?" Confused at first, I didn't understand what he was talking about. So, I close my eyes to let them rest. Well, halfway I did until my brain decided to linger on the statement he made. One eye popped open, I tried giving him the evil eye best way possible.
With a clouded mindset of sleep, "Fuck off." I flip the bird, receiving a chuckle from him. Closing my eyes, I let the cold from the window cool me down, as I listen to the tires of the car hit the road on every beat drifting me to sleep.
