"It seems like you have some good stories to tell."
"I am brimming with them," I said with my hands buried in my pockets, "By the way, I used to drive a Ford Escort. I loved that car."
He smiled sheepishly at his little silver car, "Yeah, its been pretty good."
When I sat down in the drivers seat of my car, I turned my engine over and slipped his cd into my cd player. My heart twisted into a knot, I was driving away, I met a boy with a passionate voice and I still felt a pull towards the corner of Pawtucket and School Street.
Everyone was asleep and the house was dark so I laid down on the couch. Nothing happened.
Before I knew it, my father's light clicked on and I heard him get into the shower. There was no point in pretending anymore so I got up and made myself ready to take my dad to the bus stop. It was 4:30 AM.
I don't sleep at all without you by my side.
