Headlights seemed to get brighter and brighter the further down the highway we went. Car horns got louder. My thoughts were the loudest. So I turned on the radio to cover up the deafening noise. A song that is definitely one of my favorites boomed through my system.
"I'm really, really hot...every time my records drop..." Missy Elliot never fails me. I glanced back every few seconds to make sure Elena was following me. Where we were going I had no idea. We were just going straight down I-95. I decided to dial her.
"Yo." was her modest response.
"Hey pull out on this next exit. Stop at Burger King."
"Aiight. I'm down."
We arrived at the parking lot. I saw a couple of people, so I left my car and radio on to drown out our conversation from them.
"Aiight, girl where we goin'?"
"I dunno, honestly."
Suddenly an idea popped into my head. It was insane, but it just might work.
"Hey what if we go back home?"
"You've definitely lost it this time." She rolled her eyes.
"Look, he's surely gone looking for us, thinking we moved out. So he's probably halfway across the country by now. Not thinking we're crazy enough to go back."
"No." She said simply.
"Elena," I looked into her eyes desperately. "Are we gonna be running forever, or are we gonna do something about it? I dunno, maybe I'll take up kickboxing, or jujitsu or something. I mean, I already know street fighting, but that ain't enough. I'm not running anymore." My face was stern and she knew it.
"Well, damn gurl why you make me waste my gas?!?!" She laughed and gave me a hug.
"Aiight! Let's do dis!"
My first impulse was to call Xander. Naw, I think I'll surprise him.
