Walk Through Hell

[26]

Saturday

I took off work today...

TO GET A NEW CAR!

So, in tips and pay checks and birthday money, putting aside some money for...

A Honda CRX!

Yeah, I know it's like, the crappiest looking car ever, but the important thing is that I bought it.

My dad bought a 2008 BMW 6 Series for, and I quote, "when that hunk of junk falls apart on the highway and you need another car."

And, yesterday, I finally went and got rid of my learner's permit, to get my REAL LICENSE!

Yes, fresh new plastic with a horrible picture and a weight I lied about and everything.

I drove straight to Jake's house from the dealership.

Without even knocking, I opened the door and ran straight up into his room.

"JAKE! JAKE! GUESS WHAT?!"

I threw his door open and stopped abruptly.

Oops.

He was still sleeping.

"Lex, do you know what time it is?" He mumbled through the pillow.

"Umm, 10:00." I said, timidly.

"Sleeeep," he moaned.

I kicked off my shoes and climbed up on his bed.

"You wouldn't get out of bed for me?" I toyed in a cute voice.

He turned around so he was facing me.

"Why can't we just stay in bed?"

He pulled me down so I was laying down next to him.

"Because I have something to show you!" I said in a low voice.

"If it's not something you can show me in bed, I think I'll pass," he nuzzled his head in between my shoulder and a pillow.

"Jake," I whined, "please?"

"For a kiss." He said after a few seconds.

"Just a kiss?" I asked sitting up.

He sat up with me.

Shirtless.

"Well, it has to be a good kiss, of course," he teased back.

"And what classifies as a good kiss?"

"Well it's kind of hard to explain it," he started. "It's really just easier to show you."

"Oh really?" I scooted a little closer to him.

"Yeah," he breathed, before kissing me, deeply.

The kiss deepened, and he laid me down on the bed underneath of him. He locked my arms above my head with one hand, and slipped the other under my back.

I broke the kiss, "I have to show you something!"

He groaned. "Fiiiiine."

I shrieked and he rolled off of me.

"Just let me get dressed--"

"No time. Let's go," I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him down the stairs.

"What is it?"

"Hold on."

"It's outside?"

"Yeah."

"Ew. Who parked their car in my driveway?"

"ME!"

"--What?"

"That's my new car!"

"--WHAT?"

"You don't like it." I stated.

"It's... why didn't you get a nice car?"

"Because I wanted to buy it myself."

"Alright, baby, whatever floats your boat," he said, wrapping his arms around me from behind.

I looked up at him behind me and pecked his chin.

I'm a shorty. Haha.

"So you wanna go for a ride in it?"

"Hmm, ride in a hunk of junk with a girl who just got her license in my boxers. Sure, why not?"

"Alright." He went back up stairs and I got into the driver seat.

I grabbed a Deftones CD and put it in. I drummed along on the steering wheel with my fingers while I waited. He came out wearing an old Blink shirt and a pair of old jeans.

He got in the passengers seat. "Well this is a change."

I chuckled. "Buckle up!"

He laughed and I pulled out of his driveway. "Where to?"

"Let's go to Franklin."

"Franklin? That's like an hour away."

"It'll be an adventure!" He supplied.

I laughed. "To Franklin!"

So we drove to Franklin.

And right when we were pulling into the park, my stupid car broke down.

Jake laughed.

I was pretty damn pissed.

But Jake ended up making me laugh about it, too.

"Let's just go to the park," he said.

"All right."

We walked hand in hand around the park, maybe, fifteen times.

We talked and we laughed and had Italian Ice.

"So, you know Prom is coming up?" He mentioned.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. In about a month or so."

"May 10th, right?"

"Yeah. So you wanna go with me?"

I sighed. "I was actually planning on going with Ray." I made a face.

"Oh. Well, I'm just going to have to kick Ray's ass, then huh?"

I laughed. "I'll tell him I have to wash my hair."

"Good. So we're going?"

"Yeah. I have to find a dress now." I said with a sigh.

"Damn, we've been here for a while. Wanna call for help?"

I laughed. "I guess it's about time to be rescued. You call a tow truck. I'll call Ricky or Sam or someone."

Riiing. Riiing. Rii--

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sam! Whatchya up to?"

"Me and Ricky are hanging out."

"Think you guys wanna come out to Franklin for a while?"

"Uh, maybe. Why?"

"Remember how I told you I was getting a new car today?"

"Yeah."

"It broke down."

She laughed. "Already?"

"We need rescuing!"

She laughed again. "Franklin Park?"

"Yes! I lurve you!"

"Alright. I'll see you in forty-five minutes."

"Bye! Thanks!"

Click.
"Alright. Our rescuers are on their way."

"The two truck should be here in twenty minutes."

"So, how do you want to waste twenty minutes?"

"Would you like to mack with me?"

I laughed, then shrugged my shoulders. "I don't see a problem in that."

And we macked the... twenty minutes away!
