Chapter One
Roxanne sat outside the door, unpaitently tapping her foot, trying not to hear the yelling booming from inside. "Another winner" she muttured refering to her mothers current boyfriend. They were yelling about a missed date. Her mother had been summoned to East Catholic for a meeting, regarding her daughters ever rising skirt, and had been forced to miss her date, thus causing the current argument going on behind the door. Finally her mothers boyfriend yanked the door open and stormed out, paying no attention to Roxanne who he almost stomped on. Her mother stood a few feet from the door way tears on her cheeks looking upset and mad as hell all at the same time. Roxanne stood up and walked inside trying to get to her room as quickly as possiable. "Roxanne why do you have to ruin my life" her mother asked angrily.
"Yeah sure blame it on me that you had me" Roxanne annoyed.
"You dont have to act that way"
"What way"
"The way you do"
"Whats that soppoused to mean"
"Your skirt, your attitude, your boyfriends"
"Look at my example" With that her mothers hand violently met Roxannes face.
Her mother was angry and Roxanne stated 'Do not cry' over and over in her mind before grabbing her purse off the bed and leaving the apartment. Her mother just stood there fuming.
Roxanne had no clue where she was going as she stomped down the street. Her purse being flung violent around. Meg was out with Luke who she had just reconciled with. She wasnt in the mood to go loooking for a date. And so she walked aimlessly.
"Hey, Roxanne" A guy from the bench called as she walked by. She stopped and spun around. Warren stood there looking like he always did.
"Hey" she stated her anger temporarily forgotten.
"Whats wrong"
"Nothing"
"Oh"
"It's my mom"
"Is she ok"
"Who knows"
"Was she in an accident"
"You mean besides the train wreck she calls a life...no" Warren just nodded unsure of what to say.
"We got into a fight...again. About her newest boyfriend who seems to think he's her number one priority and to be honest he is but I mean so what she missed one stupid date. I cant help it, oka so it was a meeting at school but I mean who is she to judge me" Roxanne asked exasperated.
"Are you ok" They both knew the question went deeper then it sounded he really wnated to know he really wanted her to be ok.
"I dont know, I just dont wanna be there" Warren who was usually level headed and thought more then acted on emotions didnt think when he said
"Then dont" but he was fully aware of what those two words meant and what he was suggesting as well as offering. Roxanne starred questioningly at him "Where would I go" she stuttered it out slightly.
"Where do you wanna go"
"I dont know"
"Roxanne you know I'll go with you"
"Oh"
"Yeah"
"Any ideas"
"Somewhere outside of Pennsylvania"
"Yeah"
"North, South, West"
"I dont know"
"Okay"
"So what do we do"
"Go to my house and make a plan"
"Huh"
"Roxanne I wont..do anything"
"I wasnt assuming you would" a bit annoyed. Warren just nodded he wasnt going to argue with her when she was upset and defensive.
"Come on" he stated walking her the few blocks to his house. It was a nice house, very suburbish, alot like Megs. "Is anyone home" Roxanne asked as they approached the door.
"No, is that okay"
"Um I guess"
"We can go out back"
"No it's ok" Warren nodded and unlocked the door. They went in and he had her sit in the living room while he went to get something. She sat nervously tapping her feet. And in a few moment Warren returned with sodas, a map, and a notbook.
"Okay so this is us" he stated pointing at Pennsylvania.
"Warren I know where we are and I can read a map"
"So um does this provide any inspiration"
"Do you have anything stronger"she asked gesturing to the drink.
"Roxanne"
"I'm kidding um what about New York, or Vegas, or Hollywood"
"How about you decide on a state or ya know a general direction"
"What about you where do you wanna go"
"I dont care"
"Vegas then"
"As in Las Vegas, as in Neveda as in..."
"Yes"
"Alright now all we need is a plan" He stated as he circled Vegas on the map and then wrote destination Las Vegas Neveda on a peice of paper.
"Money" Roxanne stated chewing a peice of gum.
"What"
"We need some"
"Ya think" Warren a bit jokingly sarcastic, a new attitude for him.
"Yeah" Roxanne supressing a smile.
"I have some"
"I have well lets see..." Roxanne stated rummaging through her purse before proceding to dump it out on his coffee table. Pictures, change, some paper, makeup, personal items, and some bills fell out on to the table. She began counting the money and discovered she had $18.77- due to 'borrowing' a ten from her mother the previous night. Warren couldnt help but be a bit embarrased by the contents of Roxannes purse. Roxanne gave him a 'whats so interesting' look. Then she proceded to toss her stuff back in her purse, minus the money which was on the table.
"Chicken, I soppouse" stated a feminine voice, Warrens mother, from outside the door as keys jingled.
"Make sure you make gravy, I love that gravy" a masculine voice, Warrens father.
"Uh so Warren wheres your room" Roxanne asked standing up. The two ran up the stairs and he showed her to his room. It was painted white with dark colored bedding, a guitar, stacks of paper and tablature scatered his desk.
Roxanne sat on the bed. Warren leant against his desk facing her.
"Warren" called his mother as she came up the stairs. The door opened and Warren looked shocked when his parents appeared at the door and din look suprise, he looked behind him Roxanne wasnt there.
"Do you have the mail" her mother.
"Uh no I didnt pick it up"
"Oh, we didnt know you were home, we thought the door was locked and so we tried the key but low and behold it was already unlocked so we just wanted to be sure you were here" Warren nodded. And his parents left. After locking the door he turned towards the bed to see Roxannestanding up from beside the bed.
"Your parents" Roxanne asked.
"Yeah"
"Oh"
"So about this 'plan' what next"
"I have $112.00"
"What were you saving up for"
"Nothing in particular"
"Sure so what next destination decided, cash scrounged together, and you cant forget we al know where we are"
"Transportation"
"Ideas"
"Bus"
"Great" Roxanne sarcastically.
"It's the best choice"
"I soppouse"
"Um...Their going to bed, let me grab a few things and we'll go" Warren stated before cramming a few things in a bag. Roxanne regreted not having done the same.
"Ready to go" Warren asked opening his window.
"Ever heard of he stairs"
"I thought this might be more adventerous" Warren said with a laugh.
"Your parents"
"Their probally up reading"
"Oh well I guess adventerous wins" With that Warren climbed down teh trells. Quickly followed by Roxanne who suprisingly had his guitar case stapped on to her back.
"I saw the way you looked at it" She said smirking.
"I wasnt sure about space issues"
"We'll make it work and dont worry you wont have to sell it" Warren just smirked and the two made their way to the local greyhound bus stop.
