THE road trip

Chapter 5

Since we got to the motel relatively late, we decided to just get unpacked and chill in the room. I turned on my heavy metal jam and eventually fell asleep without dinner. Just meal worms.

I was the first person awake this morning since I went to bed so early. Then I realized that I'm the only person in the room. "Mom? Dad? Jeremie?" I question around the room. I don't see anyone. I check the time and it's 4:20 in the afternoon. I call my mom.

"Hello?" She answers on the 3rd ring.
"Mom!" I say.
"Jaja! You're up!"
"Yeah. I don't know why I slept in so late."
"I don't know either." She says.
I yawn.
"We'll be there in approximately 3,2,1." My mom enters the room.
"MOMMY!" I scream.

I go get refreshed for dinner and my breath smells like nasty meal worms. But worse. I think to myself, weed. I know that smell anywhere! MY MEAL WORMS HAD DRUGS IN IT! THAT'S AWESOME AND NASTY AT THE SAME TIME! After 2 seconds I pass out.

***

I wake up. I feel woozy. Suddenly my dead dog from 8 years ago named Canal came to me and he started licking my face. Rainbows start appearing around me and I'm suddenly at the beach! I start seeing stars and people start doing Mexican dances around me. I close my eyes.

***

"Hun?" I hear my mom's voice vaguely.
I open my eyes slightly. "I had a drug dream Momma." A grin appears on my face. Similar to the one Jeff the Killer makes. "Hashtag goals." I add. My mom walks away for second and comes back with a wet washcloth. I eventually fall back asleep.

***

I wake up and check the time as soon as my eyes open. The clock reads 6:00 A.M.
"GOOD MORNING!" I scream at the top of my lungs. Everyone groans. "Why are yall so sleepy? I'm wide awake! Let's go hiking!" I yell. I'm so excited that we are in New Mexico so I can go hiking for the first time! "Honey?" My mom asks me. "Yes?" I ask concerned. "We aren't in New Mexico anymore." She says.
