Sam had just gotten home from hanging out with a group of friends to find his parents arguing again. Sam was heading up to his little brother and sister's room to check on them and make sure that they were asleep. It wasn't surprising to him that they were still up and in normal clothes. He got them into pajamas and tucked them in and read them a bed time story when the yelling got louder. Sam was listening to the yelling as he was holding both Stacy and Stevie to him.
"Dwight we cannot do this anymore. You were drunk to the point that you had no clue where Stevie or Stacy was when I got home, and Stevie and Stacy hadn't had a thing to eat. We can't be doing this anymore. You said you were going to get better, but you have done nothing to fix it," Mary yelled back at Dwight with tearing streaming down her face.
"Well the stress from work and trying to put Sam back into that gay ass all boys boarding school again hasn't really been helping either, and it's not like you are going to leave me you have nowhere to go, no money, and you would not last without me face it," Dwight screamed back at Mary.
"Yes we can and will survive without you Dwight, and you know that that all boys' boarding school has been really helping Sam. I gave you a chance to get clean and you didn't and stop blaming it on the stress because if you truly wanted to stop you would have. You are putting my children in danger and I won't stand for it anymore," Mary said in a furious tone.
As Mary was walking to the twin's room, Dwight grabbed another bottle of vodka. Mary made it to Stevie and Stacy's room and started throwing clothes into a bag and some of their toys. Sam then took the bags and his little brother and sister to his room while their mother ran and grabbed her a few things and the debit card to the bank. Sam threw some of his favorite clothes (a few plaid shirts, a Captain America shirt and his best coat) and his favorite movie (Avatar, Captain America, Iron Man 1 & 2, and the Avengers) into his bag and threw in some of his comics from his closet as well. Stacy grabbed Sam's guitar because her and Stevie liked it when Sammy would sing to them. When they all walked down the stairs it was no surprise to Mary that Dwight was passed out on the couch; she took the keys and told Sam to put the kids in her car and to load it up. Sam got all the bags in the car and then was starting to put Stevie and Stacy in the car when his mother finally reappeared. Mary and Sam then got in and started the car. Once the car was going, Mary was pulling into the bank to use the ATM to get as much money as she possible could get out of it. She could only get about one thousand dollars out of their banks ATM, so she decided to hit all the ATM's up until she got almost all the money out of the bank account. Once they started to actually leave that is when the twins finally asked the big important question that needed an answered.
"Mommy where are we going to stay now," they asked in unison.
"I don't know babies. I don't know," Mary repeated herself.
Mary and Sam were the only ones awake by the time they hit Kentucky. Leaving Tennessee behind was going to be hard at first but Mary was thinking of places they could stay until she could get them their own place. Mary remembered two family members she had in Ohio and hoped one of them would take them in for a while. They were pulling into a rest stop so anyone could use the bathroom. Sam took Stevie to the bathroom and the two went and came back to the car to wait for their mother and sister. Mary and Stacy made it back and Sam then took his turn driving and as soon as they hit the pavement the twins were falling asleep again. Sam thought that was the perfect time to ask his mother what they were going to do and maybe she would actually tell him.
"Mom can you please tell me what are we going to do; we don't have anywhere to go," Sam asked.
"We'll go to Columbus or Lima. I have family in both towns, so we will be good until I can get a job and we can have our own house. I want you to just drive until we get close to Columbus and then wake me up if I am asleep so I can drive us the rest of the way," Mary said trying to sound convincing.
Sam now only had his thoughts to keep him company since his mother had fallen asleep. All he could think about was that maybe if he was just a better son and didn't need help with school that everything would have been different or if he had just transferred into public school that his father would have been trying to quit. Then he thought about how they would even go to school or pay bills. Sam's mind was starting to go crazy trying to figure out what they were going to do and he should have not even thought about it. He had to trust his mother. He drove for a couple of my hours then came the time to cross the Ohio River. Sam sang along to the radio as Highway Don't Care was playing by Tim McGraw featuring Taylor Swift. You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio And the song goes: I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby, baby.
Sam pulled into the first rest stop he saw and decided it was time for another restroom stop. He woke his mother and then Stevie and Stacy. Sam had to go to the bathroom so he went and when he came out his mom asked him what he wanted to eat and drink while they were there. Sam said Diet Coke and something that isn't so high in calories.
Once everyone was piled up back in the car, Mary started to head towards Columbus to her aunt's house. Stevie and Stacy were now wide awake and playing in the backseat while Sam was taking a nap to catch up on some sleep. Mary then decided it would be best to put on some music and just let the kids listen to it. After changing the station about fifteen times Mary put in a cd that she knew would at least keep Stacy quiet. She started to sing along to the songs and by the time Mary got to Columbus it was playing the last song and Sam had woke to the sound of Stevie and Stacy singing the Circle of Life, so he joined in with them at the chorus.
In the circle of life, it's the wheel of fortune it's the leap of faith, it's the band of hope till we find our place on the path unwinding in the circle, the circle of life. All three Evans kids had just finished singing. When their mother announced that they had made it to one of their relatives. She walked up to the small house and began knocking on the door.
The door opened and the lady said, "Mary what are you doing here and where is Dwight?"
"We left him. He just wouldn't stop drinking and we were wondering if we could stay here for a while just until I can get us are own place," Mary said politely.
"Mary I am sorry but you cannot stay here. I do not have enough room. How about you can stay for a couple of hours and I will call my daughter and see if she has room in Lima for you guys," the lady said.
Mary took the kids into the living room while her aunt talked to her daughter about the situation. Sam started to play his guitar quietly so that the kids would just sit and listen and enjoy being out of the car for a while. Mary's aunt entered the room and told them that they could in Lima and they should get back on the road after a good meal. Her aunt gave the kids hugs and then turned to Mary and handed her some money and told them to stop at a restaurant and eat a good meal. Mary promised they would and with that they started to their two hour ride to Lima.
After an hour on the road Mary decided it would be the perfect time to stop for lunch. She pulled into the restaurant and ordered some food. Sam had a grilled chicken salad, the twins had chicken strips and French fries and she had baked chicken with steamed vegetables. Once their meals were done and paid for Sam took the twins to the bathroom so they could just drive straight to Lima. Mary got the car ready and then they were on their way once again. They had to stop for gas after thirty minutes of driving but that was really good since they didn't fill up the car until now and so they made it to Lima by three o'clock in the afternoon.
Mary's cousin Taylor came running out of the house to greet us. She was hugging Stevie and Stacy then came up to Sam and said how much he had grown since the last time she saw him. She helped Sam get the bags out of the trunk and showed him which room he was going to stay in and which room the twins and his mom would stay in. Mary had Stevie and Stacy with her as they started to unpack their bags and get the room ready for them. Stevie and Stacy were surprised at how big their room was and that it had its own bathroom. Sam had a similar room but his room was smaller but he loved it anyways. Taylor ordered three large pizzas one pepperoni and sausage, one cheese, and one Hawaiian pizza for dinner. When the pizza got there they all took some slices and went to work at making the rooms feel like home. After an hour Taylor went to get everyone to come in the living room where she had been setting up a movie she knew they would love. She had them all sit down and pressed play on the dvd player. Once the movie started Sam knew she chose something that would keep everyone happy. They all watched Mary Poppins and even sang along to Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The twins got up to dance as everyone sang the chorus.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
After they all got done singing, the twins fell asleep so Mary and Taylor took them to their room. When they came back down; they told Sam good night and that he should go to bed because Taylor was going to show them around Lima tomorrow and plus she had some new neighbors move in next door and she wanted to introduce herself and her family. Sam went upstairs got into some sleepwear then lay down on his bed and at first just stared at the ceiling, but then he turned to face the wall the moment he did that he fall straight to sleep.
