between us, we had six hundred - and - ninety two dollars. to be fair, that is not a lot. we'll have to pay for gas and we'll have to pay for a hotel once we get to new york or wherever we're going. but whatever, we'll survive.
while we were driving, we made twelve bathroom breaks and stopped nine times so that percy could take pictures of scenery or something. he said that ' a picture lasts longer'. but what if you lose it.
he told me about his three cats, and his budgie. he also told me about how his older sister died, in a car crash. i felt sorry for him. i knew how he felt, i had a family member missing too. not necessarily dead but still gone one way or another.
then, i told him about how i used to have a boyfriend called peter and how he once showed up to my house, dressed in a peter pan costume. my mom wouldn't let us see each other again. percy laughed. i liked his laugh because it was deep and soothing. i guarantee that if he laughed for a sick person, they would instantely feel better.
we took turns driving, swapping every four hours. i think that okay.
''hey. laura. what happened to your dad?'' percy asked , while he was looking directly at the road.
i shake my head and shrug.
''if i could tell you , i sure would. i know that he left me and my mom when i was super young, but i dont know why, or to where . so ya. why?''
''well you know, i just think that we have a lot in common. we have a person missing from both our families, we listen to the same music, we eat the same food. were also in this car for the same reason. '' percy had a point.
''maybe, god suddenly decided that laura should have a little bit of awesomeness in her life ''
i grin, partly because im thankful to god ( if he exists. if not, then to who ever invented the world. the galaxy maybe?') and also because i really like percy and im glad that hes in this car with me on this adventure to maybe visit diferent stated and because im really excited.
so there were lots of diferent reasons for me to be happy.
one thing i noticed about percy is the way he dressed. he wore black jeans and converse. a checked shirt ( he also always unbuttoned the first two buttons which i found incredibly attractive ) and big large fake nerd glasses. what is the point in wearing those? i admit, they do look extremly good on him, but whats the point.
they dont help you see, and they just break. easily. when i said this to him he looked at me like i had just told the biggest lie every imaginable. but then he said i was right, and took them off.
and so we continued our little journey.
