Narrative: Final Paper

Going to the Beach

Sitting around the house was what we did when we got to California. Marcos and I came from Utah from a little city called Provo and we had driven all the way from Provo to East Los Angeles. When we got to Steve’s house at 7 in the morning we were tired and lazy but we didn’t let anything stop us from unpacking the car. We went inside to wake up Steve and tell him that we were here already, when he got up he looked up at us with a face that said he was still tired. When he came out we met for the first time, he helped us unpack the car. As we were unpacking the car we were telling him about our trip coming from Utah, we told him about the people we had in our crew and all the people that wanted to get into the crew.

Back in Provo we had left my best friend Kevin and Carlos, we got up and it was 2 in the afternoon. We started to drink because it was mine and Marcos last time in Provo before we left to California. We drank and Marcos told me not to get to drunk because I was going to help drive there, I ended up drinking and got drunk. It was time to leave and I went to get my mom’s car so we could leave. When I got back with Marcos after picking up his clothes, we were saying bye to everyone. Everyone was telling us to be careful and to watch out for each other. I said bye to Kevin and to Carlos. They said bye too and I got a kiss from all the girls that was there at the house with us.

Once we were on the road I started to say to Marcos “dam dawg this is my first time going to California and I’m kind of scared, but also happy that I’m going” “then wait till you get to California your going to end up falling in love with some hayna down there” all I did was just laugh. We were on the freeway and we stopped at a gas station called Flying J, we got some gas and some other stuff too. We left and once we were passed Nephi I was pass out.

I woke up around a city called Cedar City, at first I was confused and thought that we were out of Utah, but when I saw the sign Cedar City 5 miles, I knew we still got awhile before we got there. I started to say “how long do you think until we get to Vegas” “three hours till we get into Vegas, but two hours till we’re out of Utah” Marcos replied. After a moment of silence I asked him “what part of Cali are we going too” “East LA, Soto St.” We started to talk about other stuff and it made the time go by faster. We stopped at a gas station to get something to eat, on the way out of the gas station, we saw a Charger charging our way. We got scared because we didn’t have a drivers license, after he passed us we charged for the freeway, we got away and we were waiting for the cop to see if he got on the freeway to, but he didn’t so we were relaxed again. We talked for awhile which made the go by faster, because when it went quite, we saw the lights to Las Vegas, we got excited and I was saying “is that Vegas right there” “yep, we’re finally out of Utah, no more going back anymore” Marcos replied “true that” I said. “Are we going to go visit Will or just go straight to California” “I didn’t have time to call him and I don’t know where he lives, so we’re going straight to Cali” he said.

When we were in Las Vegas, I was looking at all the buildings and all the lights, it was my first time passing Vegas and I was excited. As we passed Vegas we were driving on the freeway still and I was still tired. At of no where we started to hear police sirens and they were coming towards us and they were coming fast too. We got scared again, we were the only ones on the freeway too, so we started to slow down and that cop was just charging. He got beyond us and I said “shit we’re getting pulled over” “I know and we made it this far too” Marcos said. Out of nowhere the charger just got into the other lane and took off, we just sat there and really didn’t say anything, we were just wide eyed, breathless, and amazed. “Wow that was scary” “jajaja I almost pissed my pants” we both just started to laugh again.
