Last Chapter: I need someone and I need 'em now.
Default: I don't own That 70's show or anything else I talk about in my story. Although, Lena is an original character of mine!

I had no clue where I was going. My arms were moving instinctively again, just like when I had first met Jackie. They took me right to her so I wasn't going to doubt them now. I was cruising along the same street that the Hub was on and I quickly took the first right that I saw.
I enjoyed the loud screeching sounds that my tires made on the ground. I invited the sounds and took another sharp right as soon as I could. The sound was distraction and I needed it. My thoughts were all pooling around me and I needed them to stop. I couldn't find one spot to stop and think. They were all branching into other things.
I found myself slowing down as I came up to a ground of Middle Schoolers standing on the side of the road. I found them sad and most times I would often wonder what the next generation would end up like.
Would they be more prone to crime or would they all become preps and get rich. Would the kids of tomorrow grow up to not appreciate things like El Caminos and the hospitality of a kind family that takes you in? Would the children be more rebellious and leave school all together or would the try harder and we'd have smarter kids running around point place?
I stared at their faces and I saw how the young girl reacted when a boy pointed out that she had a double chin when she laughed. The girl laughed at his comment and I think I was the only one to share in the pain when no one was looking and she secretly pinched her skin.
The boy, who had just made the comment, had told a joke and no one laughed. I saw him when no one else did. I saw how he looked down in embarrassment and I felt bad that no one found his joke funny. The world of tomorrow was sad to me. Or maybe I was sad and I was seeing what wasn't there.
Maybe the fact that I was so desperate to be distracted caused me to see something that wasn't real. Maybe the girl who pinched her skin was just acting out a nervous twitch or what if the boy saw something on the ground that interested him. I can't really say for sure, but I sped my car up. I had to get away from youth.
I knew where I was but at the same time I was a little unsure. I hadn't been here in a while and I admit, I was curious. I pulled up into the parking lot and sat back in my seat. I sighed and placed my hand on the door and opened it.
I stuck my feet out and leaned over and stuck my head between my legs. I breathed in deeply and jumped out of the car quickly. My sudden splurge of energy lasted me about four seconds after I closed the door. I walked around the other side of my car and stepped up onto the curb.
The park was empty and I was starting to enjoy the quiet. Since getting out of the car, I found that my thoughts had calmed and I could enjoy the day. It was actually pretty nice out. I walked around the sidewalk to the far side of the park, which was shaded. I looked up from the ground and stopped. On the very far swing was a person. That person was Lena.
