By the time i got to my car, he was already there waiting for me. "About fucking time." he exclaimed. "Whatever, get in the car." I reply, just wanting to leave this hell hole. He stretched his arm forward and turned on the radio. Of course, Green Day was on and it was like the song that we both fell in love with it all over again each time we heard it. The song was Basket Case and it played a big part in our friendship because that's all we were seen as growing up. Out of nowhere he grabs my hand and begins to belt the words "Sometimes I give myself the creeps, sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up. Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned?" I chimed in and the rest of the ride was full of laughs and Green Day.
I grabbed my keys and unlocked my front door. Michael's hand still in mine, we walk into my parentless house. My parents were on a Vegas trip with my Aunt and Uncle and left me alone with $200, a credit card and an emergency phone card. They had just left in the morning and won't return for a while. We got to my messy laundry littered room and opened our books and began to read and answer the questions and wrote our summaries.
"So your parents just up and left you here?" he asked "Yeah..... It's kinda weird being here alone. Especially in this neighborhood." My neighborhood is a bad one with tons of bad history. "What parents would be insane enough to leave their daughter alone in this neighborhood?" "I won't be alone for long, my cousin Lonnie who had just gotten out of the mental institution last year is coming...... Also we have guns so if Lonnie or anyone else tries to kill me... BAM! Bullet to the head." "WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE YOU WITH HIM OUT OF ALL PEOPLE?!?!?! Ally, I'm staying here and that's final. My parents won't give two shits, i'm just gonna stop home and get a bag and leave." "Michael....." i groan "Ally..." he replies in the same tone. "Finnneeee I will drive you there so you can get your crap and your car."
