I woke up to the sun peeking through my curtains. I looked around and saw that I was in my room and not in Sam’s new car like I remember last. That means Sam carried me all the way up here.
I tired crawling out of my bed ending up falling off in the process and changed out of yesterday’s clothes into black holed skinny jeans, black tank top, and a yellow plaid shirt and my favorite converse. I headed down the stairs trying to keep from falling off of them. I saw Ron (Sam’s dad) sitting on the couch watching TV.
“Morning Mr. Witwicky” I called over to him.
“Morning Alyica” he said not looking away from what he was watching. I then proceeded to the kitchen where I saw Sam making himself some cereal his mom must be outside tending to her garden.
“HEY SAM!!!!” I yelled in his ear making him almost drop the milk. I laughed at that reaction.
“Oh hey aly” he said as he ‘ I thought you were coming to kill me for not waking you up I know how much you hate not remembering anything” he said ( wired right lol how I can’t even remember my family). I reached over and grabbed a bagel to eat.
“ I know I that but I’ll let it slide just this once “ I said to him smiling as I took a bite. He only nodded his head as he took a bite. I looked out the window and saw his new car. Dirt reflected off the car as the sun hit it I felt sorry for it not being clean by now.
“Hey Sam mind if I wash the car” I said finishing my bagel. He only nodded his head since his mouth of stuffed full with cereal right now. He handed me some sort of cleaning liquid for the car as I headed outside and towards the shed the held the bucket I would need and some old rags. I dragged the hose over towards the car as Judy (Sam’s mom) turned on the water for me I filled the bucket and poured in the cleaning liquid about halfway filling the bucket full of water Judy called me over.
“Aly sweetheart can you go check the mail before you start cleaning” she said. I nodded my head and turned off the water and walked up the path Sam’s dad has recently made to the front door where the mailbox was. I saw a cop car parked across the street the windows were heavily tinted so I couldn’t see inside plus it had these weird signs and labels on the doors and sides but I thought nothing of it. I grabbed the mail and looked back up at the car that was stilled parked I got a weird feeling of being watched and it creeped me out. I waved at the car not really wanting a response but I got one as I was walking back to the backyard.
The car had drove by me honking its horn and drove off. I must still been laughing as I stumbled into the backyard where Sam was now at washing the tires of his car. He looked up at me funny and shook his head I ran over to give Ron the mail and came to the bucket of water with cleaning liquid added and grabbed a rag and drowned it in the bucket. Started washing the hood the car seemed to shake but I only ignored it and Sam must have not noticed.
“so you mind telling why you were laughing” Sam said looking over fro the window he was washing.
“oh nothing just got honked at by a cop car” I said not looking at him and continued washing.
“I can see why just look at yourself” he said trying not to laugh. I looked down and giggled.
Soon the car was washed and shined brightly. Sam and I both rushed up into the house and up the stairs to change. I put back on what I had earlier and Sam put on a t-stair and blue jeans with sneakers.
“hey you wanna go to a party with me” he called from down the stairs. I walked down and looked at him.
“sure” I replied heading for the door.
“good because I would of made you anyway” he said as I was heading out the door I only smiled and shook my head a little. As I approach the car I went to open the door when it seemed to open on its own. I just brushed it off and climbed in where the door closed by it self this surprised me to an extreme. The seatbelt also wrapped around me and tightened.
Then the radio turned on and asked me weird question by now I was really creeped out.
“what….was….on….the cop’s car” the radio sounded.
‘wait did the car just talk to me and how does it know about the cop’ was what I asked myself in my head.
“Night……Shadow….answer me….please” it said I think the car sounded worried about me like something was wrong for way I didn’t answer or talk back.
I only stared out the window not wanting to answer I really didn’t know how to answer him really. The seemed to understand and didn’t say anything else but he did pay a song.
‘Never made it as a wise man
Couldn’t cut it as a poor man stealing
Wouldn’t make as a blind man and this is how you remind me’
I tried to ignore the song but for some reason it stung me. I only looked back out the window as Sam walked over to the car but not before he got yelled at by his dad for walking on the grass and not the path I laughed a little. By now the radio had already cut off as he slid into the car he didn’t even notice it had been on to begin with.
“Sam I think your cars alive” I said thinking about what it talked about and the name it called rang a bell but I didn’t know why to tell the truth.
“oh and why is that” he teased as he put the key in the ignition and cranked up the car. There was a loud bang and a black cloud of smoke had risen from the back of the car.
“it talked to me and called me a weird name” I whispered to him hoping he didn’t hear me but a lass he did. Plus I felt like he was hiding something from me.
“Alycia I need to tell you about last night” he said as he pulled up at a gas station and got out pulling me along with him.
