Dad starts the car and beeps as I wave at everyone watching my mum cry as I'm not coming back to the shitty and crazy state.

Dad and I are just getting to the outskirts of Melbourne when I see a small McDonald's and ask if we could get something to eat, its only 8:30AM so there's still pancakes being served. I ask for extra syrup as they say "Please Drive Forward" I get my pancakes and my mouth starts watering... I end up just about drowning the pancakes in the syrup and gulping them down, they taste so damn good! Its 9:00 now and I'm still really tired so I grab my pillow, put my headphones in, close my eyes and rest my head against the pillow.

5 HOURS LATER

"Wake up Gracey we're in Mildura!!" Dad says shaking me, I open my eyes to a huge sign saying "WELCOME TO MILDURA" I ask dad how long until we get to Broken Hill, dad looks at me and says 3-4 hours now. I look at my phone and realise that Tom doesn't know about me coming to Broken Hill, see Tom and I have been in a long distance relationship for almost 2 months and we've never even met each other up front personal. I sign and say Oh well and then trail back off to sleep for a little.
