Southern Love

Chapter 2

*Dixie's Point of View*

5 Days Later

We are all packed and ready to head out I had all of my stuff in the bed of my truck. It's a 1985 long wheel base Chevy with a lift, and it was a viper blue. I through a tarp of it just to be safe incase it rained. I was just about to get in the truck when my mom came up to me. "Dixie, honey are you sure you're gonna be alright drive all the way to Georgia?" . I knew she was looking out for me, but she's always been the cautious one of the family. "Yes momma, I'll just fine, and does any of the boys wanna ride with me?". Just before my momma could answer my question both of them ran to my momma. "Momma can I ride with Dixie?". "Well that's up to your sister hun...". They look at me with there little puppy dog faces," Really guys y'all are using the puppy dog faces?". They nod and try even harder to win me over," Alright y'all can ride with me..." they fist bump before I could finish. "But remember if y'all start fighting I'll strap one of you to the hood and an the other to the roof of the cab. Got it?" They look at each other and laugh for a second, "You won't do that". I smirk at them with an evil look," Wanna try me?". They look at each other and say," Deal we won't fight scouts honor" I laugh at them and tell them to get in the truck. I wait till dad and mom pulls out the drive way, so I can follow them. "Barrett, can you plug the auxiliary cord and put on music". He grabbed my phone and got on YouTube. "Is there a specific song you want sis?" I thought for a second and realized that song I wanted to listen to "The Prayer by Aaron Watson". he typed it in and we started singing to it.

We listen to a few more songs when I get a message on my CV radio. "Dixieland, you out there?" Dixie land is my handle. My dad though it would be cool if both of our trucks had CV radios because it was safer and easier to get ahold of each other than cellphones. "This is Dixieland, come on back". My brothers look at me weird and to there facial expression they were wondering what the heck I was doing. "It's Papa bear how are the cubs?" They look at each other and they suddenly realize its dad on the other handle. "Looking confused as an eight day clock, Papa Bear". "What's that supposed to mean, you and dad are confusing...". I rolled my eyes," Think about it I said eight day clock and how many days are in a week..." they both face palmed and I started laughing. "Alright Dixieland, Well Momma bear coming out of hibernation looking for some grub so follow suit over" I knew just as to what he was saying but the boys didn't seem to. "Alrighty Papa bear over and out". I put the receiver back on the dash and looked at the boys. "Do you know what dad just said?" "How are we supposed to know what he said your the trucker" I laughed at that. "He said that momma just woke up and is hungry so we are gonna stop for something to eat, you boys hungry too?" They nodded, and we went back to singing songs.

After about 20 minutes or so we finally found a place to stop and eat. The boys bailed out of the truck before I could even put the truck in park. As they were getting out they fell and I laughed so hard that I started to cry. I looked over and seen that dad was laughing too. Momma made sure they were okay, and we went inside to eat. After we all ate and relieved our selves dad made sure that we had gas in the trucks and we had stuff to drive and snacks because we weren't gonna stop again and I knew we weren't. "Okay, boys are y'all still wanting to ride with me or with momma and dad?". At that question they jumped back in the truck and buckled up. I smiled and got back in the truck myself. Barrett plugged in my phone and got on YouTube. "Barrett its Cris's turn to pick a song now" . He nodded and handed the phone to Cris and waited for him to pick a song and started singing. before I knew it they were asleep, so I turned, "The Prayer" by Aaron Watson back on and continued on the road ahead.
