I've been up all night packing for this stupid trip and tonight was the night I leave can't believe that fat ass judge I'll get him back for sure when I get back whenever that may be

The gang can't come and see me off since it's so late Bucks gonna be taking me to the airport so I'm waiting for his lazy ass to get out of the gas station I swear that man can eat for two people .

Buck come on !! I don't have all night I'm coming I'm coming keep your pants on !! Oh I'm sorry you don't have to go on a trip that could possibly put you in jail for twenty two years !! You seem stressed here smoke this I'm not stressed just tired you sure he exhaled the smoke just got a weird feeling is all like a jail feeling ? He chuckled your a real hoot you know that Oh don't get all soft on me I don't mean no harm hey relax just try to think of it like a vacation your 18 with your license you can basically do whatever you want since we both know Lawrence won't give a rats ass

I guess your right you think he still wears his hair in that greasy pony tail ? I hope not he chuckled with his build he looks like he dances at one of those disco clubs now that's permanent in my head good maybe it'll keep your mind off things ok we're here already ? Not a long drive remember your gate 45 your uncle should be there when you land if not then call a cab I nodded grabbing my belongings hey Dallas !! What !! Take care of yourself kid yeah you to I watched him pull off into the distance before entering the air port which was surprisingly cleaner than I thought when you live on the gritty side of Tulsa everything's isn't well kept hi how may I help you ? Yeah hey uh one ticket for Florida ah yes here you are and your gate 45 right around there thank you have a nice trip

Boarding planes are always a breeze to me since everyone pretty much keeps to themselves and away from me and to my luck the whining baby's are normally kept in first class so that's out of the way i stared out the window watching the clouds pass bye while I drifted off to sleep when I woke up it was still kinda dark while the sun started to rise Lawrence's lazy ass forgot to pick me  up so the smelly cabs of Florida it is stepping outside was crucial it was almost as if the sun had been baking the earth over night hey cabbie !! You mind cranking that  fan of yours ? This old thing ? I can but it won't do us any good son

Not in this heat I nodded staring out the window might I ask where your from ? Uh sure Tulsa really ? What brings you all the way out here ? Got into some trouble back home  so they sent me here to stay with my uncle for a while where is that old buzzard ? I don't know probably shoving donut holes down his throat you guys sound like the best of friends he chuckled not exactly just right up there thanks take care and they're he was sitting there in all his fat glory clipping his toe nails on the stoop

Fancy meeting you here yeah well some one forgot to pick me up I was busy doing what ? I chuckled eating all day you got a smart ass mouth kid you'd better watch it or what ? You'll strangle me with your toe nails   Careful would hate to put you out on the street in this heat now you be a good boy and unpack he said smacking my arm it took every fiber in my being not to  kill him right then and there but I knew I had to be good  just this once

I'll get even with him soon
