Oh. My. God! We are almost there! I thought to myself as I tried to control the car.
"Annie! We're almost there!" After a moment of silence, I looked over to see what looked like a drunk Annie.
If you know Annie, she acts like she is drunk sometimes. So, if you had a drunk Annie, you are in trouble. Just don't get her mad and your okay.
I rolled my eyes at the sight of Annie's head stuck out the window, her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
She really needed to get some sleep.
I was looking for our hotel that I had gotten us. There was a huge row of them, and as I was looking at them, my chin fell to my chest.
They look so cool! They are kinda old, but not in a bad way. They crumbled at the corners, but they look like new bricks. It was almost like they built the buildings and then an earthquake happened, but only the part that was hurt was the tops. It's cool, in a weird way. They must have been built that way.
Our hotel is on the border of the boardwalk, so I have to drive threw, even though I doubt I'm supposed to. I'm just trying to get to the freaking hotel!
I'm almost there! I'm trying to get there the quickest way, so I have to pass right threw the middle. This is going to very interesting.
I look over to my left, and saw not really anything. There are only the carnival lights, but they were beginning to turn off. I look to my right, and I see one store that is open.
VideoMax. I have to remember that place! Annie loves videos, and we would probably want to rent some for later.
Wait, that's really weird. Why is it the only place that is open? The only place that works nights?
My eyes became heavy, and I started to fall asleep. What the hell? What is happening!
I have to keep my eyes open! I thought of Annie sitting next to me, and a vision snapped into my head.
Annie is lying next to me in the other hospital bed. The doctor came in and told me that I had fallen asleep while driving, and that Annie might not wake up again.
My eyes snapped back into the present. I had water in my eyes. That wasn't going to happen again. Not this time.
It might have been with one of my other best friends, but I am not going to loose my best friend and sister! (She isn't my sister, but we have been so close since Kindergarten, she is my "sister".)
By the time that thought passed away, I'm beginning to feel like someone is watching Annie and I. I look around. No one.
I'm starting to drive faster, becoming more scared by the second.
I saw our hotel, well actually I saw the lighted sign, but I still saw something to tell me that I'm there.
I pulled into one of the spaces in the lot, and just about smacked Annie, trying to wake her up.
"ANNIE! GET UP!" I whisper screamed. "SOMEONE IS STALKING US!"
"Dude, you should think about getting a life."
"Wait… What?"
"You need something better to do than waiting for someone to actually take interest in us at like 4 in the morning!"
"I'm not lying!"
"Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"Sure, Annie. As soon as you can spell when you are acting drunk." I rolled my eyes.
"Mk smartass. G-E-T. A. L-I-V-E!"
"Get a live. Really Annie?"
"Oh. Oh. L-I-F-E! There! God, you can be such a bitch."
"I could so say the same. Lets just get inside so we can be safe."
I started to hear someone cry.
"Annie, why the hell are you crying?"
"Joy!" she sobbed, "You know you're not a bitch, right?"
"Annie," I said smiling, "yes, I know that I'm not really a bitch."
"Okay, good." She sniffled. "Just making sure that you know that I am a bitch for calling you that. Actually, I'm a dick."
"Annie, get out of the car! You have got to sleep! And you aren't a dick."
"Okay… whatever you say, Joyful." I rolled my eyes. This girl better get to sleep or she is gonna die.
I picked Annie up, and lulled her out of the car. "Woman, you have got to stand!" I was about out of breath, lugging all of her out of the car.
"Get some mussels then!" She said back to me.
The fight continued until I finally got her to corporate, and got her out of the car, leaning on my shoulder, and into the hotel. I got her to the 2nd floor, to our room, 213, and into the bed with a record timing. About thirty minutes. I think I did very well!
This is just the beginning of our adventure.
