I Promise

Chapter Three

After my breakdown I watch funny shows I chose out and eventually I fall asleep. In the morning I shower, eat, everything, and I get my stuff packed as I have a bit of a trip to drive today.

"Time to leave baby." I say to my little future angel. I check out of my hotel room but as I do, "Oh my god what happened to your eye?" The girl running the front desk asks, she looks like she's 24, the same age as me. "Shit! I forgot to cover up the black eye!" I think to myself, that bastard hit me right in the eye the other day. "Oh my friend threw something and it accidentally hit me in the eye." I make up, "What did they throw? A rock?" She asks jokingly, "Haha, no. A football." I say. After I officially check out I get in my car. "Whew. Time to start my new happy life." I say as I leave the hotel parking lot. I jam out to my songs and I know people were looking at me funny, but I don't give a shit because I feel like I'm free from the chains of my "loving" ex. After a while my phone dies so I listen to my CDs I have in my car. Later, the sun starts to set and it looks so beautiful that I get lost in time just staring at it.
It feels like all of my problems are leaving through my open car window. When the sun is fully down I have an urge, I want to smoke a cigarette. I totally forgot that I was a smoker, I have to resist, I have to resist! The urge eventually goes away because I'm not a hardcore smoker, I only smoked two to three times a week.
It's 9:30 so I finally stop for dinner at an Outback Steakhouse, just because I want to treat my baby nice early. As I'm waiting to be served there's two women who must have been waiting a while because they got very impacient. "We've been waiting for fucking EVER! Is there a seat for us?!" I try not to laugh but I can't help but silent laugh. They get more frustrated and they just walk out. After that a nice looking couple leave and they seat me to where they were seated. I order onion bloomers as my appetizer, then I order a nice medium rare ribeye steak with fries. After waiting ten minutes my food comes and I devouer my food. I leave and I start to drive again and I eventually get to Omaha, Nebraska.
"One more state and I'm-we're there." I look at the time, 11:20. I'm exausted, so, I pull into a hotel and I get my blanket and recline my driver seat all the way and I drift off to sleep. Now you may be asking yourself, "Why don't you just rent a hotel room?" I didn't get a hotel room because I'm running a bit low on money. I wake up and it's 9:45. I adjust my seat and I sit outside and I almost light a smoke but I remember what I have going on right now and I quickly throw it to the ground and I throw the pack in the outside garbage and I start to drive off again. Nebraska is very open and pretty, but there is a lot of corn growing here...
After driving for four and a half hours I finally get to Colorado!
