My new life

Chapter 2: Road trip

Renee Lawson

I sat at the end of the stars waiting for Brad, slowly growing more and more inpatient. I finally snapped when i saw the moving trucks coming up the drive way through the open door. " Brad get your ass down here,'' i shouted. Not before long i heard him thundering down the stairs stopping right behind me. "I need to get through Re .'' i slightly tipped my head up looking at him feeling slightly more pissed. " There's more room so just walk around.'' He groaned before complying and stepping around me.I looked up the stair case before looking around the first floor all of our things cramped into boxes ready to move. I slowly got up and started walking outside were my brother was standing talking to the house retailer. i saw him hand over the key seeming hesitant as if he was about ready to bolt back inside and start his own little protest . The man took the keys giving Brad a slight smile before stepping away to talk to the movers. Our parents had informed us last minute that we would not be flying with but instead driving all the way there.

Oh and yeah did I m ention that it's two freaken states over!. I walked towards Brads parked car , and looked to see that both of my parents cars and mine were already hooked onto the back of two different moving trucks. Sighing I climbed into his truck and layed back trying to relax. After waiting for a short while in the car playing flappy bird mindlessly i heard the drives side open and then close with a slight thud. Looking up I saw Brad typing away most likely sending his final goodbyes to his friends.

I kept my eyes on him as he put his phone in the cup holder and started the car. He turned towards me sticking his tong out before pulling out of the drive way. '' Are you going to say goodbye to them or are you just ending it by a simple text?,'' i asked breaking the peaceful silence. He burst out laughing causing me to jump in my seat out of surprise. He steered with one hand bring the other up and covering his mouth with the back of it . He gave me a side ways glance before slightly chuckling to himself. " You make it seem like i'm breaking up with a long term girlfriend , not that i've ever had one of those , oh your hilarious Re,'' he uses his free hand to pinch my cheek making baby noises before i pushed away.

" I already said my goodbyes in person to my friends, and i was texting mom who told me that they had left us 1,200 dollars in cash and my credit card for anything we want or need,'' i nodded before sitting back and taking my phone out to continue play my games while turning up the radio. As soon as we hit the freeway Brad turned on the GPS and humming along to the songs playing.

Three hours in to driving i was already going insane. The same songs over and over again i was in the brink of insanity banging my head against my window. Brad had turned of the radio fed up the music as well. " why don't we just enjoy the quit,'' he muttered. I sat back relaxing or at least try to before a song popped into my head and i couldn't stop myself from singing. " Happy lama sad lama, mama lama,'' i started looking at Brad from the corner of my. He gripped the steering wheel , his knuckles turning white. "Renee,'' i slightly smirked before turning to fully face him.

"happy llama sad llama, mentally disturbed llama super llama drama llama big fat mama llama, llama, llama, llama who is this big llama starting all this drama,'' I got as close to him as possible smirking , ''is me bitch '', I sat back down laughing. His head snapped twords me, eyes squinted , and lips pursed ."Renne stop," he muttered. I shrugged and hummed the rest of the song . I closed my eyes deciding to to take a short nap before I felt the car suddenly swerve to the right. My eyes snapped open as I let out an ear piercing scream. From the corner of my eye I could see Brad smiling. "What the heck," I shouted. "We're going shopping,'' he said. I clenched my teeth forcing myself to push down all the curse word that wanted to crawl out of my throat. I closed my eyes taking deep breaths before opening them and finally noticing the buildinga around us. "We're are we going again," Iasked , "We're moving somewhere new ,so I think that it's only fair if we start out new especially you Re no offense, so we're going shopping for your sake." " You hate shopping though, "

" And you do to so well just both have to endure it for the greater good,"
