I woke up wrapped in my warm blankets. The sunlight from the window was casting onto my forehead. I slightly dipped my head in the blankets to hide my eyes from the light. I haven't seen Michael in over a week since he left town to go visit some family, but it's Sunday now and he comes back today late at night. I have school tomorrow but I'm so happy because it's my last week of school, and then I can decide what I wanna do with my life.

I heard my phone ding from behind me and I stuck my hand out from the blankets and reached over and picked up my phone from the nightstand. It was a message from my aunt.

Auntie-  Hey I hope your up because today's your drivers test, and we have to leave soon.

I groaned forgetting I scheduled an appointment. I don't want to get up though, I'm so comfortable, and warm. As I laid there buried in my blankets I heard my aunt walk in.

"Mia! Wake up, come on you have to get ready." She said ripping the blankets off of me.

I quickly clutched my body as the cold air surrounded me. My aunt laughed. "You got five minutes then were leaving." She said as she bopped my head and walked out.

I let out a sigh and jumped off of the bed. I slipped on a big hoodie since I know it's going to be cold outside and also since I don't want anybody seeing my scars, and my black jeans and white converse, well they were white but since I haven't washed them there pretty dirty, looks like I bought them brown.

I walked out of my room and found my aunt in the kitchen typing away at her phone. She looked up at me and smiled. "Ready." She said walking past me.

"Excited." I sarcastically said.

"I passed!" I said running through a crowd of people and to my aunt who was sitting in a chair. She jumped up with excitement. "That's great, and now since you passed, I have a surprise for you." My aunt said taking me by my hand.

I sat in the car studying my new license. I smiled now realizing that I would be able to drive. I watched my aunt as she had a smile spread across her face. "Where are were going." I asked. "You'll see." She said glancing my way.

She drove into a dealer ship and I started getting an idea. She parked the car and we hopped out. A tall man approached us and shook my aunts hand. "Are you Judy?" He asked. "Yes that's me." My aunt said. "Ah, so you must be Mia." He said approaching me.

"Yeah." I said with confusion. He stuck his hand out for me to shake which I did and he walked back over to my aunt.

"Follow me." He said. We followed him to the back of the dealer ship where I saw some cars that were being covered up with a white cloth like tarp.  He walked over to one and pulled it off. It was a four door all white Jeep, it had all black wheels and tinted windows, it was  lifted but not to the point where I can't even get in like Ashton's.

I was studying its beauty when I felt a bump on my arm. "Do you like it?" My aunt asked." "I love it." I said with a smile. She nodded her head.

"It yours." She said. My jaw dropped. "Wait are you serious, that's mine?" I said not believing it.

She laughed. "Yes that's yours, hop inside go take a look." She said with a wide smile.

I engulfed her in a tight squeeze and ran over to the the Jeep that was now mine. I hopped in and admired the detail inside.

I was crying with happy tears and I hopped out. The man held out his hand with a pair of keys resting in it. He handed them to me and I wrapped my arms around my aunt one more time. "Thank you so much." I said wiping off some of my happy tears.
