Driving to Nowhere

Chapter 2 ~ Driving to Nowhere~

Chapter 2:

It was about 11:45 and and all the men were leaving. They were all drunk so I wouldn't be surprised if they got in a wreck on they're way home. I hadn't even eaten dinner and so I paused the movie I was watching and slowly opened my door, creeped to the pantry to see it almost bare. I was wanting popcorn but all there was, was some peanut butter, a can of tomato sauce and sugar. There wasn't much to do with that so I grabbed the peanut butter jar and

Silently tugged open the silver ware drawer. There were 2 dirty spoon cakes with rust. The fork was much cleaner so I plucked it from the drawer, wiped it on my old Santa Barbara sweatshirt. It used to be my moms. She said her and my dad always traveled there since its in the same state and not that far from where we live, San Francisco. I've never been on vacation outside of San Francisco. I always watched movies about traveling and going on airplanes and going to other countries like Paris and London. But I will never get out of here. Like ever.

M-Mom? C-call me p-please. I'm starting to g-get worried. I've called you l-like s-s-even times. A-an texted you. I'm c-crying so please c-call.

"Dad? W-where's M-Mommy?"

"I'm sorry sweetheart, but we'll find her soon. I promise. And wen I do find her I'll bring her back home safely. Faith Olivia Parker, I will find your mother."

"M-m-m-mom?" My lip quivering "Daddy w-w-what happened to Mommy?" "Faith, she, she isn't - she went to go visit Jesus. But she's in a better place now."

"Mommy? You look pretty. I like your dress. Um I'm sorry this happened to you. I didn't know where you went. You and daddy were mad at each other and- "Faith, we have to go now, hold my hand." "Bye mommy" I said as I put flowers next to where she was laying down.

I gasped and flew up in my bed heavy breathing. It was just a dream. But it wasn't.... It truly happened. Tears slipped down my rosey cheeks. I missed my mom so much. The jar of peanut butter jar was still open with the fork dangling out of it next to me.

"Crap!" I whisper yelled as peanut butter got onto my silky pillow case. I didn't have paper towels so I swiftly grabbed some toilet paper and wiped it off dabbing it with cold water.

It was chilly in my room so I put the peanut butter on my small black desk, put on some fuzzy grey sweats and bundled myself in my covers. I soon fell asleep, curled up in a ball, dreaming of what my life would be like if my mom was still here.
