Pick Me Up

Kaela's P.O.V

          I hang up my phone after conversing with my stepsister. What if I get to meet Kris? I know he's absent at the moment but I'll find a way. I grab my phone, charger, and my wallet. I look around the room and think to myself, What do I want to take? I spy my favorite stuffed animal sitting patiently on my bureau. It's Scooby Doo. I've seen all the episodes and even have most of the movie, vhs and DVD. I also have the comics. Basically,  everything is Scooby Doo except for the shirt I'm wearing which is a simple white vneck t-shirt with a softball logo. Well, maybe the word everything is pushing it. I'm sports obsessed so I have bats and other equipment scattered around on the floor. But my stepsister,  Delilah, made a Scooby Doo portrait on my wall for me. I throw him in the bag and start to head out.  I throw my stuff in the back and I hop into my car, well it's my stepsisters.  She's letting me borrow her Hummer since mines in the shop.

          I pull into her cousins driveway and see them standing there and talking. Delilah waves and I turn off the car. I step out and then lean across the car. "So we're doing this?" Delilah smiles, "Yeep!" I tell them to throw there stuff in the back. "Jae is suppose to call me in a bit." I nod, yawn, and then stretch. Delilah notices this, "I'll drive." She smiles and puts her hand out for the keys, "Are you sure?" She nods and I throw her the keys, Emily gets in the back and then leans toward the front and flips the radio on and switches it to 100.9. A song I haven't heard before flows throughout the car. So, I guess we're doing this. Even though I left a note for my mother, I feel like sh-- Shut up kaela, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I look over and Delilah is drumming on the steering wheel and Emily is singing along. I smile, lean back, and sing along with her.
