New Americana

It was 11:30 on a Tuesday morning, everything was going great till I realized I had to change my license today if I wanted to be able to drive myself around. I was getting tired of asking Mike to bring me everywhere, the odd time I'd ask Vic but I didn't want to be a bother to him. Last night before I went to bed I told Mike to be up at 9:30 so we can leave here at 10, I want to arrive early before the place gets busy. It was now 11:40 and I'm done waiting for Mike. I stomp my feet all the way to his room, the door was shut. I busted the door knob and flicked on and off the lights yelling "wake up Mike!! It's been two hours I let you sleep in, I have had it with your shit! Now get up" . What I saw next was something I never expected, Vic jumped out of the bed in shock, while Mike was sleeping like a baby in the other bed. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I, I thought this was only Mike's room.. Oh god I can't believe I just did that" I apologized. My face was cherry red from embarrassment, and I couldn't stop looking at my feet. Vic let out a chuckle then made his way to me "I mean you gave me a heart attack but it's okay, I had to get out of bed at some point" he said putting a hand on my shoulder then walked right past me, in only his boxers, to the bathroom.

I looked at Mike and jumped on his bed as if I was a little kid on Christmas trying to wake my parents. Mike shot up with a startled look on his face until he realized it was me. Mike grabbed my hips and pulled me forward so i would end up being in the same position as him. What Mike forgot is that he wasn't as close to the wall as I was, so that pull made me hit my head HARD on the wall. All I heard was a loud thump then my vision went blurry for a bit. After blinking constantly for a minute, my vision came back and I saw Mike had a scared look on his face while Vic was frantically talking in Spanish to someone on the phone, my guess was Mrs.Funtes. I sat up while holding my head in one hand and had a couple of tears running down my face while laughing a slight chuckle. Mike's expression changed instantly to a look of relief while Vic's was confused. "I'm so sorry Petra! I honestly had no idea you were that close to the wall" Mike kept rambling on. "Mike stop. It was an accident I'm okay" I started to saying, I tried to stand up and say a couple of other words but my head started to get light and I wobbled for a second. Vic catched me as I was about to fall and dragged me to his bed. I was lifted then set town on a mattress that felt like it was used more than the one I had in my room. Next thing I knew Vic jumped in bed with me, he said "I'm only gonna sleep with you so know you're okay. I mean you might start puking or need to pee and can't walk to the bathrrom by yourself" I smiled and kissed him on the cheek as a way of saying thank you. The last thing I saw before me eyes shut was a very pissed off Mike. I guess I'll just have to got my license tomorrow.
