One typical Sunday night, I was driving a truck and making a late delivery to. Along the way, I barely saw anyone driving; it was 11:00, so I guess I understood why. The only reason he was out this late was because he totally forgot about the delivery earlier, so he now has to do it at this late night. He wanted to wake up earlier, but was just too tired to accomplish that hard goal.
I was driving peacefully, I then see a beautiful young lady with an ugly torn dress and her name sewed on, I quickly stop and ask the lady, Hi, do you need a ride home?", the lady then nods to me very slowly. I open the truck door and wave my hand as if saying come in. The lady then climbs in the truck while looking at my name tag, I say,"Oh, my name is Gus." I then extend my arm across her face to close the truck door. I smile and try with difficulty to read her name that was sewed on it. "Jessica?" The lady nods her head as if saying yes.
I say, “Where’s your house?", he was replied with a complete moment of silence. This was very awkward for me, so I just said," Point to it when you see it.”I then decide this was getting very awkward, so I turned the trucks key and started driving. The rest of the drive was pleasantly quiet for me and Emily.15 minutes later the lady pointed to an old yellow house. I stop at that house and say, “bye.".I now go on making the delivery. The next day still stunned by the lady's beauty, I decided to go to her house and ask her on a lovely date.
The day I decide to man-up, I drove to her house. The ride was very quiet since it was just me. Along the road I got really nervous because IM afraid she will say no to my answer. I park in front of the house and get off the truck so nervous that I almost stumbled upon myself. When I finally arrive at the door, I knock on the door so quietly I don't think anyone could ever hear me. I found the courage to knock a little a louder, so I did. I saw the door open and a lady a little older than I wanted opened the door."Hello, is Jessica here?"I said."Umm.... You knew her?", said the lady."Yes, I just brought her-wait what do you mean by knew' I know her not know.”, I said."That can be, she died like 5 months ago, some boys killed her on the street where CVS Pharmacy is located, “said the lady." I was feeling a little strange OMG,IT WAS A GHOST ALL ALONG!I couldn't believe ,no that couldn't be, how did I see a ghost?!Why did it choose me to be able to see her?!
I guess I was thinking out loud because the lady said, “I don't know, but maybe your just imagining it, look I don't know you but maybe you should let your mind rest and go home." Since it was getting a little awkward talking to this lady I don't know, I decided to leave. I said, “bye thanks for the heads up."She waved her hand as if saying bye.
When I got in my truck I stopped and looked at the road, I just couldn't believe it. All this time I thought she was real, and I was going to ask her on a date, now that was the biggest bummer of my day. I started driving and felt a little abandoned, and I never ever felt that way before. It was a little awkward feeling this way, I was a rookie to this type of feeling, so I needed some advice. I decided to let my mind rest of all these decisions and go home like the lady told me to do. I felt so tired, that I almost crashed in to this blue ,shiny, convertible car, but I turned the truck around as fast as I can so I wouldn't crash into the car. I stopped in the middle of the street, right after the incident. The people who were in the car, looked like rude, teen boys. And right after we almost crashed, they gave me dirty looks.
When I got home with relief, I immediately took of my driving hat and placed it on the hat rack. I went to the kitchen to find something to eat, I saw a sandwich in the refrigerator and quickly gobbled it up. After that, I decided that there was nothing else to do, but to take a nap. Right when I was on the bed, I had a weird dream. It was about the ghost thing I managed with earlier. Then I knew that this whole thing was just a stupid dream to get me frightened. I decided since all of this was a dream, to take a nice drive around the streets and get my mind off the whole ghost thing.
When I was driving I stuck my head out the window to feel the nice fresh air blowing in my face, and I got to admit it felt amazingly good. I felt like IM not crazy, and that I was a normal person. I got to the street and there I saw the street that I dreamed of where the lady was. And to tell the truth, I wasn't scared because I knew that the whole ghost thing was just a dream that came from my imagination. While I was driving, I thought that I saw a lady, but I knew that that wasn't real, so I ignored it. I was reminded of how beautiful Jessica was, I just thought of it.
