The True Story Of Jacub S.

ch.5 drive

Its 5 in the moring just enogh time to put my baby back together and finish what I need to do so she will run. I get staright to work. I have to finish befor seven so I can leave befor my mom wakes up. If she see's me driveing she would lose her shit. And I would lose my car. That cant happen not now after all the work ive done on her. Time startes to fly as I put parts back in the right spot making evering fit. Like a puzzle that Ive done over and over again. Befor I know it,  its 6:30 and I need to be leaveing I drop it down of the jacks and hope in and turn the key. She startes up with no fits. I sit there for a min just listening to the engine hum. Its like sweet music to me. Till it was interupted. By a tap on the passenger side window. It was Shelby, she had one of my hoodies on. I roll down the window  to see what she wanted.

"Where are you going?" She asked looking like she just woke up from a two days of sleeping.

"I dont know just going for a drive, not sure were."

"Can I come" her voice was soft like she was scared to ask. I thought about it for a second and unlocked the door. She got in and sat down just looking at me not saying anything.

I plug my phone into the radio puting on my driving playlist. Then I pull out heading to the fastest way out of  town my normale driving route. Its open farm land with few drivers on the roads and never a cop to be seen. Which is perfect to test and see what my car can really do. I reach my favorite part of the road. Its a fork if you go left you head back twards town and if you go right its one long road that seems to go on forever. Setting at the stop sign I think for a few momants. Wondering about the girl next to me. Try to figure out if I want to go down the right road with her.

"Do you have to be home any time soon?" She sakes her head no. Which help me make up my mind. I pull to the right onto the road and stop and look at her. "Buckel up" I tell her. Then I flip a swich on my dash. That opened the intake valves, after that you hear the hum of the engain change from a per to a full lion raor. I put the shifter in nutral and rev up the rpm. I see out of the corner of my eye shelby tens up like she was nervuse. I got to be honest it made me smile a little not to sure why. I slide into first and put my gas petal to the floor. Letting off the cluch the tires sream and shot smoke into the air. Then the scream stopped when I got some grip shotting me forward. 25 mph and I shift to second, 45 to third, 68 to fourth. I hit 90 in a 12 count I slap it to fith not letting off the gas 120 with no worries on my mind just how I like it. Then I remeber Ive got a rider with me and shes probably scarde out of her mind. I look over to see a smile. Not the fear that i thought would be there.

"You like to go fast?" she asked when i looked over at her.

"My hole life was slow. My mom thought slow was safe so thats how it was. well till i could drive myself. Then everthing changed and I realized I felt safer going fast then when I was going slow." 

"I know what you mean." Her face change with those words and her mind was in another world.

"You dont seem like the fast car kind of girl, more of the city driver."

"It was my brother who showed me cars when I was young and ever seens then its been a need for speed."

"I figured he would be the reason you liked them. A grease muckey like him could show anyone to love cars. You talk about your brother but I dont see how you parents are ok with you not being home."

She looks out the window and with a soft voice says,"They died when I was young and Ive only had my brother from then on."

"Im sorry to hear that. I know what its like to have a parent leave you when your just a young child."

"Yeah" Her eyes changed from that amzaning bright blue to a killer black hew but still blue just not like the way they were when I met her.

I realized she probably didnt want to talk so I just shut my mouth and turned up the music. We drove for a few hours never saying a word. I had to stop and get gas. I put the pump in the tank and went inside. I grabed me a coffe and a bottle of water and walk to the counter, then look threw the window at her. Then turned around and got her a cola and a bag of those donuts that ever gas station seems to have. I pay for the food and drinks and walk outside. Walk up to my car and set the stuff on the seat and go to finish pumping. I see her grabe the cola and take a big chug and head to the donuts next. I laugh at how fast she did that. But Im glad I didnt have to tall her to.

"thanks I was dieing" she told me when I got back in.

That changed her mood and she desided to talk again. We drove for hours talking like old friends who havent seen eachothen in a life time. It was so easy to talk to her. She never let a convertion die always adding some new to talk about. We must have talked about everthing under the sun. Are lives and what has happed to us. Like we had nothing to hid. I told her things I could never tell my mom and she told me thing she would never tell her brother. Befor I knew it the day was almost gone and the sun was setting. I see a back road that lead to an open feild, I pull in and park next to a big oak tree the only one in the feild. 

"Have you were watched the sun set in the country side" I asked her. With no words she says no."Its the most beutiful thing youll ever see. Its like the sky is taking all of the colors it looks at all day and uses them to paint a piture, not just any picture one that can take the words out of a smooth talkers mouth, and take the breth out of your lungs. The  colors blend in such a way that no matter how hard you look youll never see them again. And the clouds look like god looked all over the world to find the ones take would make this moment better in ever way. And just as the sun goes to hid behind the horizen it almost seems to wink at you just to say dont worrie ill be back tommorrow to light your way home." I look at her and make I contact with her and the world begens to belt around us. No matter how hard I try I cant look away. Then something came over me and I kissed her, she didnt pull away or try to stop it in anyway. she just sat there not really doing anything. I opend my eyes and pulled away. "Im sorry I dont know why I did that." I look out my window away for her expecting to hear her open her door and get out but it never happend. Insted I feel her hand on my chin and turning my head towards her to make me look at her again. I look into her eyes and see the most beautiful thing ever then see closes her eyes and kisses me. It took me by shock and I got lost in it. Then kiss her back. It was so intence and felt like the world stopped for that time we were lipped locked. Then she pulles away makeing me want more almost making me beg for it but I try to play it cool and put my arm around her. I pull her closer right next to me and we sit there not talking just watching the sun set till it was gone and as the sun winked at me Iook down at my sholder to see her asleep in my arms, I smile like an idiot. Putting the keys in the starter and begain my drive home.
