"Gwen don't worry, we'll get out of this. Jason looked over at me, his eyes so caring staring at me, trying to comfort me. I tried dialing the cell phone but we had no signal! My heart was now beating so fast and I felt my stomach start to hurt. Jason shook his head madly, "No way! We don't even know who lives there! Look try the cell phone and see if mom and dad can get someone to help us or do something." "Jason," I said surprisingly, "Look over there! There is a house, maybe we can ask the folks there for some directions." Maybe they could at least tell us where the hell we were! Maybe we could get off and ask the person or people who live in that house for directions. But how did that happen? I was sure we were going the right direction.Īll of a sudden I saw a house with the porch light on. It was like we were in the middle of nowhere. Jason kept quiet and his eyes on the road. I kept trying to read the stupid map but It didn't make any sense at all. It was starting to get dark outside and I was certain we were lost. "Ah don't sweat it Gwen I know exactly where we are." Jason replied in an unsure tone. "Jason, where in the world are we?" I asked nervously. It'd been over an hour of talking and catching up that I lost track of time and we seemed to have been lost. I was always interested in what he said, since I found his life to be so interesting. Jason and I talked a lot on the road about what was going on in our lives. I loved the way the wind made my long brown hair just fly everywhere. I felt so excited riding in my brother's sports car. We started heading off for the road about a half and hour later. I'll help you read the maps and be your navigator," I said in a comforting tone. "I'm sorry Jay, but hey I'm here with you so you won't drive alone. "Damn mom and dad can't wait anymore can they?" Jason asked in a slightly disappointed voice. I gave Jason the news that our parents could not wait for him so they wanted us to go when he'd gotten there. His hair was light brown which he also wore a little long from the front and which covered his eyes at times. He wore his long khaki shorts and white t-shirt. Jason looked great! He had gotten a little muscular I could tell as his strong arms were around my neck. "It's nice to see you too Gwen," he said playfully getting me in a headlock. "Ah! Put me down!" I said laughing joyously. He picked me up from the ground as we held each other. "Hey! So good to see you!" I said giving my brother a tender hug. As soon as his car pulled up I ran out to greet him. I kept looking out the window nervously to make sure he'd gotten home safe. It was over two hours after my parents left that Jason arrived.
I just smiled to myself and kept thinking how fun it would be to ride with my brother to finally feel a little bit free from being a child.
Just be sure that he drives carefully, I know how crazy he can get." My mother said laughing. My parents both looked at each other in doubt but then nodded, "Ok sweetie if you want to ride with your brother that's fine.
And plus I have your cell phone with me mom," I stated anxiously. We'll be late but at least he won't be alone. "Mom let me wait here for Jason and I'll ride with him. I was going to look cool with my brother in his sweet ass sports car! I had a plan and I knew it would work. I didn't have to be such a geek and ride with my parents. "But what about Jason? He's going to drive all the way alone? I don't like that idea much," My mother protested. "Honey let's go, I don't want to be late you know how bad the traffic gets in that direction," my father said. I wanted to just tell them to get the hell out and Jason and I would catch up to them. I couldn't believe she didn't want to wait up for Jason. "I'm so ready to go," my mom said anxiously. My parents were waiting for Jason to get home but it turned out that he was running late due to terrible traffic. I remember it was a bright Friday afternoon and I was all packed to go but not very happy to be going. He was coming down to go with us to the beach house. He always took care of me and we had lots of fun together. Jason was 22 and was just about to graduate from college that year. It was really just me, my mom, my dad and my older brother Jason. Now at 18 I really didn't have an interest in hanging out with my folks but they kept insisting on spending "quality time" together. We use to spend time there in the summers back when I was a lot younger. It was spring break time and our family was going to spend some time at the beach house that we owned. My story starts out as what I thought was going to be a nightmare but ends up so sweetly. Note : This story is completely fictional!
