Alex glanced at her father out of the corner of her eye, then muttered, "Well..I'd rather be bored then be in a house FULL of kids..who are YOUNGER THAN ME!" Al looked at her and said, "Please don't yell Alex...yelling doesn't solve..anything.." Alex slouched in her seat, and put her feet on the dash board, looking at her black combat boots.
"PLEASE take your feet down honey..." Al said, swating her feet down with one of his hands, then placed it back on the wheel. "Fuck you.." Alex muttered, putting her headphones on, and turning the volume up the loudest it would go. Al just shook his head, and muttered, "Who woke you up on the wrong side of the bed?"
---------------------------------------------------
It was a few hours later, and Al had stopped at a gas station, hoping to cheer up Alex's bitchy mood. "Hey Alex!" Al screamed, so Alex could hear over her him over her headphones. Alex threw them off, and yelled, "WHAT!"
Al glared slightly, then said through clenched teeth, "Do you want to go get something from the gas station...to maybe clear up your bitchy mood!" Alex glared at her father then said, smirking, "Hell no!" Al pointed a finger at her and said, "What did I say about swearing! I..dont..like it!" he hissed the last part, thinking that it'd scare Alex, which kinda worked.
Alex rolled her eyes, then muttered, "I'm sorry...daddy...and yes..I'd like something from the gas station..can I please have some money?" Al smiled proudly, then said, "Sure babe! Here ya go! Oh..and can you get daddy some water please?" Alex nodded, taking the money with a 'you-can-just-go-to-hell' smile, and stepped out of the car, and started trudging (sp) towards the gas station
Once inside, she walked towards the drinks, and grabbed her father a water, then grabbed herself a mountain dew. "Hmm...maybe I could just..buy some snacks..then run away from here..." she mumbled, walking through the snack aisiles (sp) trying to find something that she wanted. After about 10 mins of looking at snacks, Alex finally grabbed a King sized Twix, then went up to the counter.
"Will that be all for you today pretty lady?" the young man asked, smiling at her. Alex nodded, setting the stuff down, and looked out the window, and saw her father sitting in the car, waiting for her. Once Alex had paided for the things, she carried the bag they were in out to her car, and got in.
She handed Al his water, and Al said, "Thank you!" then opened it, and started drinking it, starting up the car, and pulled away from the gas station. "Dad," Alex muttered, bitting some of her twix. Al glanced at her and said, "Yea hun?" Alex looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry...about..yea know..how I was acting earlier...it's just...I don't know...my idea of a good summer is hanging with my friends...going to the movies, the beach..and even the mall...I mean..I'm happy that we're gonna see them..but..I just don't think I'm gonna enjoy it as much as I'd spend it with kids MY age...ya know?" She finished, looking at him.
Al gave her a sad smile, then ran one of his hands through her hair. "I understand honey...and I'm sorry..but..maybe if the adults go out...you can babysit..and then...maybe Ed will pay you..." he said with a wink, which maybe Alex laugh slightly. 'She has her mothers laugh..and that beautiful smile..oh god..it's to fall for..' he thought, placing his hand back on the wheel...
(short..but sweet..lol)
