Midnight Drivin'

In the back seat of her friend’s car she stared at the bright lights of the Chicago. Her friends had all the windows open and the music blaring as they drove. They laughed and yelled along with the music like tonight was they’re last night on earth, except her. Her mind was consumed by the thoughts of what she still needed to do later that night. Looking around the car that was so full of people, all she wanted was to fill her lungs with fresh air of the night. She finally said screw it and unbuckled her seat belt that was holding her hostage. She lifted herself out of the car window and sat on the window sill. She grasped onto the inside of the door while the friend sat beside held on to her ankle to ensure she wouldn't fall out. She leaned back into the night, into the wind that finaling abled her to inhale breathable air, and to forget about her worries. As the night comes to an end, she finally is able to understand why her friends are so carefree.
