Chapter 2: We're in Nevada!?
I anxiously watched the white reflective line on the road past us trough the windshield of the car. I was thinking hard about how in the world did I end up in the desert in the first place? And now I'm in a car with Robert Downey Jr.! That's the only part that i'm ecstatic about. I pulled my gaze away from the road a head and looked at him. Beyond his silhouette the moon outlined the waves of sand in the desert and all it's plants and nonliving things, you know the rocks and dead trees, then moon had pointed this out to me in the distance. When my focus faded out the small roaring of the road against the tires brought me back into the car and stared at the closet thing in the car that I could see, Roberts glowing chin.
"So how old are you anyway?" He asked. I was taking by surprise of the noise of someone speaking, especially him and my mouth went a little dry before I stuttered a reply.
I'm, 18" I responded awkwardly. I said it in a weird way because I still have problems believing that I became an adult last July. I've always been independent in a lot of ways but I feel strange being able to call myself adult. I guess that I was expecting a lot more for myself like I should be doing something big and that makes me feel anxious. What should I be doing? I have no idea.
"Really?" He said and his voice had came out sarcastically before glanced quickly in my direction.
"I know what you're thinking. And its not my fault that my voice never matured. It just didn't. But I am 18." I said sighing at the number.
"You don't sound too happy about it. You're an adult now you get to get into clubs...unless you were already sneaking into them." He said.
"No! I've never been to a club nor do I ever want to go to one. It 's just that it feels weird. I feel like I should be doing something." I said.
"Relax, its just by law you're an adult. You're still a kid. And you don't have to answer this next question. But answer anyway." I smiled at his conflicting words. He seemed more like his character Tony Stark than I thought he would be in real life. "What were you doing in the desert alone? I mean the last time I checked it's not really a hot spot for adult newly." He said. I nodded slowly and decided to go with honesty.
"I don't know." I said. I started to feel really bad about not knowing why alone in the desert. I'm surprised I didn't freak out and panic as soon as I realized I was alone. There are a lot of things that I don't like but the a some things that just tip the scales: The dark, being alone, and feeling trapped... which I know isn't the same thing as stranded but they both not being able to move when you want to.
"You don't know? What do you mean that you don't know?" He asked glancing at me. I took a huge breath.
" I don't know...I was just...there." I said trying to explain.
"Just there. Really?" He asked sarcastically."You weren't kidnapped were you?" He asked.
"I don't know. I just woke up there and I don't know how I got there! I was laying in the dirt until I heard you driving down the road." I lead mu head back and started to control my breathing before I started hyperventilating.
"Okay, I get that you're freaked out, calm down... Have you ever tried weed?" That had to be the most serious thing that he said since I started riding in his car. I looked at him with a surprised are you serious face. "Sorry... So you don't remember anything?" He asked. I shook my head absent mindedly. "Yeah that's weird."He said. Rubbing my hands on my jeans I felt he dirt roll between my hands and my pants. What happened to me? I asked myself. I looked up from the dash bard and noticed a bright sign that read Las Vegas and it was being held on a giant pole. Then in the distance for the first time I saw the orange lights of Las Vagas, it would've been a happy moment if I wasn't so surprised.
"We're in Nevada?!" I gasped.
"Yes. Where did you think you were?" He asked. I laid my head back on the seat and shook my head as I closed my eyes tightly. What am I doing here!?
As we passed by the gigantic hotels and casinos I looked around dramatically. I never seen such overwhelming sights, there was so much light and so many people. Everything was amazing, so and so lively.
"I'm guessing this is your first time in Vegas?" He asked. I turned away from the window and looked at him in amazement.
"I might have problems with my memory but I know that this definitely my first time in Las Vegas." I said to him before I turned my eyes back to the city of love.
