"Um this way" Justin pointed, directing me. I listened to Justin and followed his directions.
"It should be right here" Justin looked around.
"Yes there it is!" Justin smiled. I parked and got out of the car.
"So, what exactly happens here?" I asked.
"Well, it's like a museum. Trucks are parked and you just admire their beauty." Justin smiled.
"I've always wanted to go here." Justin raised his arms almost as if he was about to hug someone but not exactly.
We were now at the entrance of this place.
I reached in my purse as Justin reached into his pocket.
"Here" Justin smiled. He handed the guy money. I pulled my money out and moved my hand towards the guy. The guy stopped my hand and shook his head no.
"The gentleman paid for it." The guy smiled. I looked to my side to see Justin. He wasn't there.
"Oh miss he's there" The guy pointed at Justin walking examining the trucks. I smiled at the guy and started my way towards Justin.
"Hey you" I called for Justin. Justin turned around.
"I have my own money you know" I smiled.
"Oh I know",Justin smiled,"but you took me here so I thought it would be nice to pay for you since you brought me here." Justin turned around and started to look at the trucks again.
"Beautiful" Justin said. He rubbed the truck. Justin looks like he's having a great time here. That made me happy at least a little. Even though I've known Justin for about two,three weeks.

(2 hours after this)

It's been about two hours and were barely leaving now. I got in my car as Justin did the same.
The car ride was silent so far.
"How'd you like it?" I asked.
"I loved it!" Justin exclaimed.
"That's good" I smiled.

JUSTIN'S POV

I looked out the window. A particular place caught my eye. The most romantic place in town. The place where I took this girl. This girl who just thought it would be funny to mess with me and try to convince me that she liked me. I was so stupid back then. I took her to the most romantic place on the first date we had. And even on the first date, she had that Nolan kid throw sauce on me. I wasted my money on her. I didn't even get to eat there. I left after Nolan threw sauce on me. I hate them all.
I shook my thoughts away and tried to think about something else. I looked down at my gold necklace with white shiny small diamonds.

(Flashback)

"Justin!"
"Yes!"
"Come!"
I ran down the stairs. At the end, I was greeted by my mom. She hugged me.
"What's wrong mom?"
"Nothing" She pulled away and smiled. She grabbed my face.
"You've become such a beautiful young man"
I smiled.
"Here, come here."
She walked away and I followed. She pulled out a small rectangle box from a drawer in the kitchen. It was wrapped with wrapping paper.
"Open it!" She handed me the box. I stared at the box and smiled.
I ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box. I looked at my mom. I smiled.
"It has a little bit of diamond in it. The rest is gold." She smiled. I was a bit surprised. We were poor. No money to waste. I wonder how she got this. I smiled.
"Thank you ma you didn't have to"
I hugged her.
"Well, what're you waiting for. Put it on!"
I looked at the box. I carefully pulled out the line of gold with diamonds and handed it to my mom for her to help me put it on. I turned around and saw the mirror that was in front of me.
"I want you to never change and be the beautiful polite boy I've taught you to be."
"Okay ma"
I looked at the gold necklace through the mirror and smiled.

(End of flashback)

I shook my head in attempt to get rid of my thoughts.
I looked at Jennifer. She was driving quietly.
I looked at my gold necklace. It shined. I smiled. I moved my eyes to the road and let out a breath.
I love you ma.
