Finally, after about three or four hours, Max let me leave. We laughed, made jokes, and we played games. Then, as I was leaving, and I got a text. The best one I ever got. I danced a little, then I walked home.
"16 Kanspirien Hiepy Street.
It was Lily's address. Although it said nothing. I was sure. It looked like somewhere Lily would live. I didn't have to walk today, daddy said he will drive me. Although I have never been there before, I told dad where to go, and we had a coversation.
"Go right...
"So um honey...
"Two lefts and another right...yes.
"Um so how is your life going?
"OK, now you see over there, go staright...good.
"No problems, nothing gone terribly wrong?
"Now make a U turn, and another right, I wouldn't say terribly wrong.
"What do you mean?
"Now go straight and you'll be on the highway.
Then I thought about his question. I looked him deeply in the eye.
"Only if your best friend moving away, your band wanting you out, and your mom not talking to you counts as no problems, then I have no problems.
"Oh sorry sweetie.
"Dad take the nearest exit...it's fine.
"You know it's not just the glass making your life so hard, life is hard.
"Go straight.
It was a long way, took about an hour. I didn't say anything else except the directions. We finally arrived. I got out of the car, and there was a gaint sign in bold letters.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR MARRIGE!
