On the Road

I'm riding in the middle of a Mazda
I look ahead and see dimly lit roads
It is currently 9:58pm so it is dark out
We are driving from Missouri to Kansas
We've been in the car for a few hours now
I stare blankly at the white dashes in the middle of the highway
So far this trip has been pretty boring
At least there's some nice scenery
I have been looking out of the windows
All of the trees that are colorful during daytime are now completely pitch black
Out here on the highway in Kansas, you can actually see the stars where we are at
They are pretty and bright but some of them turned out to be airplanes
The moon just sits in the sky amongst the stars
Mom is sleeping in the passengers seat
My dad is currently driving
I am sitting behind him writing this
Kaitlyn, one of my sister's, is curled up weirldly in her seat sleeping
I look behind me at Bella, my second sister
I continuously stared at her until she turned around and stared back
Right before she asked "What do you want?"
Lia, the youngest sister is behind me also sleeping
Nighttime in the car is weird cause it is quiet
I can actually hear my thoughts
I can also hear my Pandora music playing through my green ear phones
We are finally closer to Wichita, Kansas
That is meant to be out final destination
We are going through alot of trouble just to see a 3 year old on his birthday
I won't argue though since it is so much better than being at home right now
I continue to stare through the darkness outside my window
Until we make it to the hotel
