I'M ON the road with my dad, he's taking me back to my so called home "La Push" I'm not saying that I don't like La Push, it's just I would rather be in Texas were it is sunny and dry rather where it's cold and rainy all the time. Hell, the people there aren't that great either, it's like if you go away for a short period of time like I do they act like you're a total stranger but you've been their best friend since kinder garden. Fucked up huh? Well that's La Push for you cold, rainy and the people attitudes aren't any better. Just then the song Thank you by MKTO comes on. "Hey dad can you turn that up?" I ask you're probably wondering why I'm not doing it myself, the reason for that is my dad is real strict about almost everything and everyone. Savanna, I and my two step-brothers Gaven and Gerret know this. My dad nods then turns the knob on the radio up, I start nodding my head back and forth to the beat. Just then my phone beeps telling me that I got a text, I pull out my Iphone 5 and read what the text says.
"Hey sis, enjoying the road trip?"-Sev
I just put my head back and groan she was the one to come up with the idea anyway. I'm just like why can't I get on the plane and fly all the way to Forks? It would be much quicker and faster without all the awkward silences like this one, my dad isn't much of a talker at times he doesn't like sharing his feelings either I cock my head to the side and think Now that's were I got that from... I stare down at the text for several more minutes before tapping out my reply.
"No thanks to you ;("
She reply's just then.
"Ha-ha, I try C:"
I just snort, meaner I think. I look over at my dad who is concentrating on the road probably by the look on his face he's thinking and its one that I don't like either he's pissed, angry or just both eh well hopefully I didn't do it this time he might just be thinking this was a shitty idea too. I sigh, plug my headphones in, put them on my head and close my eyes to take a nap just as the song; Wish you were here by Avril Lavigne comes on.
Suddenly, I'm jerked awake by my dad nudging my shoulder, "HUH, I WANT PANCAKES" I say opening my eyes not sure of where I am until I remember the so called road trip I'm supposed to be on. It's been fun so far I got to daydream, text Sev, and fall asleep!-I'm being sarcastic-I realize that my dad is waiting for me to speak, wait what did he want again? I have no clue.
Dad shakes his head before speaking, "We're in New Mexico, and eh I think this is where Linda is from"
I try to hide my disdain at the name. Linda what a bitch, that's my so called step-mother she's anything but. She disowns me for the much known fact that I'm living proof that my dad was unfaithful during their marriage, but hey I'm not complaining. At least she didn't poison Sevanna, Gaven, and Gerret's mind with that bull. I and Sev are close but Gaven and Gerret are the older brothers I never had, and thas were we get to Seth and L-
"Hey, Court, want to stop off somewhere and get something to eat?"
Great Mexican food. I really freaking' hate tacos "Sure, where?" I ask
My dad shrugs and says "Where ever there is food I guess."
Nice answer dad real nice. Anyway, you're probably questioning the reason why I don't like tacos, let's just say make sure your chew thoroughly or you'll feel it in your intestines. I'm a just look for some food places on my phone like a smart person would I snort, my dad doesn't even have his OWN phone he just uses the one his job gives him I'm just like what the buck. Several things come up; I think we ought to just stick to Taco-fucking- bell. "Hey dad how bout' Taco-fucking-Bell sound?" I look over at him to see his face visibly scrunch up huh maybe he hates tacos too?
"Isn't that a little raciest going to a Taco Bell in New Mexico?" Dad jokes. Or at least tries to.
I shrug "Erm I wonder, probably if it was maybe they wouldn't have built the store?" I say timidly not trying to upset him by correcting him, he doesn't like that-really strict-I lower my eyes hoping he doesn't catch on.
He does.
He narrows his eyes and all that comes out is a "Humph". Thank gebbus thought I was in trouble there for a second. We arrive at the Taco Bell just minutes later.
"What do you want?" my dad grunts. "
"A burrito with no tomatoes and lettuce ..."
My dad turns toward the mic and says his order soon enough we're back on the road, only this time I'm wearing a sombrero and eating a burrito, yum. I look at the GPS trying to see how many miles we have to go, sense we've taken 1-90 we have 1,850 miles and 29 hours in all if you drive straight through without any stops but unfortunately for us that's not the case. I look at the time shows in big blue numbers 6:59 so we should be stopping soon I look over at dad whose rocking his head back and forth to Willow Smith's song Whip My hair. I snort thinking Sev would be laughing herself to tears, Gaven and Gerret would be asking where did dad's man card went I would've replied "Up your ass" then get slapped or almost slapped in the face by Linda. That's another thing she hates cussing, I do mental eye roll because she cusses in Spanish all the time. I know because I heard some words that Gerret taught mixed with the usual gibberish.
Just then we turn into a rundown Motel called Las Palomas. I was already starting to nod off when we left Taco Bell. We get out of the car, take some stuff we'll need which is not much hopefully the motel won't be as cheap as it looks. We walk in to the receptionist desk and ask for a room with two twin beds she types on her computer for a few seconds then gives us room 24 key.
We walk down the narrow hallway to find the room 24 with the number 4 hanging off looking like it's been super glued several times with no avail. "Great place", I mumble as we walk into the room that looks like it's been robbed with a small box TV sitting in the corner and beds that look like they've been peed in. I'm sleeping on the floor, I think as I my dad that I'm going to bed early he does a double take and look at the small clock sitting on top of the nightstand which flashes in big red letters, 7:24. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow, "Isn't a little early to be going to sleep?" he asks.
"Big day tomorrow?"
He just grunts and walks past me to the bathroom to talk a shower. I walk over to the bed and sit stiffly down on the papery sheets just then my phone glows with a message, How's the road trip coming'? - Gerret
Great, I reply.
Sounds like shit-Gerret.
It is…
Don't worry it'll get better sport! Oh and Gaven says Sucks to be you!
Tell Gaven to shove it for me...
Can do sis, Bya!
I groan and flop on my bed with a loud humph noise I turn my face into the sheets and sniff yup smells like pee that's the last thing I think of before drifting off into a dreamless sleep well not really… Paul...
