It was so funny. And yet motivational. Take a stand people:) I drove for hours until I needed to fill up my tank which I did but I didn't even know where I was ! I was just enjoying the ride. The wind. The feeling of being free seeing the mountains.. I mean I though I was still in Illinois. No TELLIN where I am now.. I actually like that I don't know where I am.. It makes me feel... Free.. It's amazing..
I walked into the gas station looking around hopefully seeing a map or a guide booklet thingy.. Well I found one.. I'm in Iowa !! That's crazy ! How'd I end up in Iowa !? It's amazing... I grab a couple slim Jims and gum and hit the road again.. Not really knowing where exactly I wanted to go.. I didn't think it would be a good idea to leave the country.. Buttt the school thing wasn't a good idea. Or running away.. So how about one more? Haha! First I have to get somewhere where I can travel over seas to get to I don't even know! China? Haha maybe. I caught myself getting very tired around 8pm and I was still in Iowa but close to Nebraska.. I was going 75 down a old Back road. Peaceful is all I could say to describe this route. The smell of the summer breeze. The feeling of being able to Cruze or speed.. The feeling of freedom and control was all mine and only mine. I finally hit a city I don't know where but it's a pretty big city. And if you know how my day was going you would be beat. Which I am! Im tired. I drove around tryin to make sure no cops suspect me I'll be 18 soon. Tomorrow actually. And I won't really have to worry. Ugh. Stress man stress. I pull up to a local hotel. And park in a safe spot hopefully no one takes my bike! I take my things in and check in. Finally a bed. A warm..soft...comfortable.. Bed.. I'm a warm room and with food and water and a shower and just ugh I feel like I've haven't seen a bedroom in years when it's only been since 3am and it's 9 now.. Gosh.. I wonder how the pastor is? What about the police ! Are they after me? Are they tracking me!? Oh god am I going to jail!? NOOO Noo!? Legally.. I think I won't be arrested tomorrow I can legally be on my own!? Ugh I shouldn't be stressing let's just take a shower and it'll all be good..
The next day.
I get up. Washing my hair and styling it back. Gosh I need a hair cut my sides are getting longer !!! Well I have the hotel till about 4pm. I got dressed and drove to the local wallmart. Looking for a shaver or whatever those automatic thingys are called haha.. As I was looking for a good razor I notice a boy.. Oh boy.. Here we go.. A boy.. He looks about my age but he's with a man.. Much older.. But this man he looks so nasty.. Like he has a major hangover. He's pale and bags under his eyes in a white tank top and Grey sweat pants he can barely stand up straight this boy. With longer black hair. Well the top is longer. His sides are short and he has a bit of bangs. He had a green day t shirt on and black jeans with chucks. He yells at this man "DAD! For real get you stupid beer and let's go you're embarrassing me! You can't stand up straight and I want to get home.. Please dad" he begged. " shut up boy! D-does it look like I care what you t-think hh--hmm?" He said slurring his speak and stumbling around. I try to just go about my business but this boy he.. He's so .. I don't know he catches my idea. I can't help but stare at him.. Ugh I'm a freak. He probably seen me. I just go back to looking for a razor.. Until.. Great look guys another until! He walked over seeing me struggle trying to grab the razor from the top shelf. " here.. Looked like you were struggling so I thought I should help" he smirked handing me the razor. " oh um. Ya thank you:)" I said not helping but let out a bit of a blush. " well I must go my dad he's.. Well you see.. Um my names Luke though" he said rubbing the back of his Neck.. I noticed he a not irritated "oh um ya it's ok.. Oh I'm Alex.. But ya ill see ya around" I said messing with the razor box. He smirks and walks off gripping his dad's arm leading him outside.
About 3 hours later cut my hair shorter on the sides and I was leaving. Once I got about two blocks away from my hotel my motorcycle started to slow down and make clinking noises.. Which worries me. It never does that. I check my gas and see I'm running on empty and my tire is going flat.. I sit on the curb for about an hour and it's 5 now. I was interrupted with my thoughts by a tow truck that was backing up toward my bike. I yell "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M RIGHT HERE DONT TOW IT GO AWAY!!" I see a door fling open and a pair of blue jeans and chucks step out. It was Luke.. He smirks and says "looks like you need help there Alex" I blush and nod. We end up back at the little shop he works at with his uncle mark. Mark I guess basically takes care of him. As I'm sitting here waiting for them to air my tire up I get news that my motorcycle is messed up in several ways and won't last if they don't deal with it now. I shrug and say "no no I can't pay" the man just giggled and said "it's already been paid for calm down " I gave him a confused look and all the man does is turn away and walk. I here kind of a louder voice from the break room.. It sounded like Alex so I thought I should see if he's ok.. I mean he's a nice friend... I hear a little closer "no dad. I will not get you freaking boos! How dare you!?" "You know what maybe I will leave !? You never-- whatever--- ya bye" he slammed the phone against the wall. Beginning to punch it and then turning around slamming his back against the wall.. And gripping his hair tightly his elbows resting on his knees and his head facing down.. At this point.. I acted on impulse.. I felt bad.. He's.. He's a good.. Friend..
The words slipped through my Cold lips"Would you like go on an adventure with me..?"
