STRANDED!

Well to start off the wonderful day I wake up to my 6am alarm going off to know that I have to take wonderful Diamond to the Des Moines airport. She then lets me know that I have to take her to walmart to get money and stuff then we finally leave good ol Spencer Iowa and hit the road, stop at a gas station about an hour later to fill up and get hot cocoa. After I turn my car on to find that my gas gauge is no longer working, we continue our journey for another hour and decided to fill up on gas just to make sure. During this whole journey we are listening to Diamond tell us her whole life story. It felt like the ride was taking forever! I was starting to feel a little relieved when i looked at my gps on my phone to find that we were in Ames only 45 minutes away from Des Moines. As we were driving 75 mph on the freeway in the fast lane i completely lost power and swerved into the right lane and cut off a truck and pulled to the side of the road when I realized my car completely shut off. No power what so ever. Just my luck! I look out my window to find that we are barely off the road, stranded, while the wind is blowing 30 mph outside. Diamond in the front seat starts to freak out and become very depressed because she thinks she is going to miss her flight. Meanwhile I try to call my mom and dad but no answer, what is this? When I really have an emergency no one cares? hahha jk. But really neither parent answered the phone so I really start to freak out. I then proceed to get out of the car to look underneath the hood, nothing seemed to be wrong. I then try to get back in the car trying to avoid being hit by semi trucks getting inches away from the truck. I thought for sure we were gonna die. Finally my mom answers the phone and tells me I need to call 911, and get a tow. So we do that exact thing and wait for the tow truck to come. 30 minutes later a young (good) looking man gets out and hooks up the truck. While this man is hooking up the truck. I get really annoyed and exclaim no I dont and grab the cup of water sitting in my cup holder and there was water in it, and it went all over Diamond and her phone. She then freaks out and starts screaming you ruined my phone!! The man then tells us to get in his truck and then takes us to the shop and tells us that our alternator went out. Diamonds mom called and got her a taxi to take her to Des Moines so she doesnt miss her flight... so when the taxi pulls up and older looking man steps out the kind of man that you could label as a pedophile. So Diamond proceeds to grab her bags and then says to me I dont know how i am gonna pay him, and he just smiled and said its already paid for.... how is it paid for? Hopefully not in sexual favors!! Diamond then looks and says "Im scared" baha i was scared for her. As we look into the car we find that there is a little dog in the drivers seat... may i just add that is really creepy. We wave Diamond and the little chiwawa goodbye. We then decide to walk across the street to get some Mexican food, when Kayla decides to just step out in the middle of the street on both green lights.. i start to scream, then she starts to scream and ran back.. she almost got killed! We finally made it to the restaurant and ate some delicious food when the man working on my car calls and tells me that my total to get my truck fixed would be $476 I almost threw up my food right then and there. I then called my dad and he chewed me a little but then took care of the bill. My dad is too good to me, he is great! The mechanic then tells us that our car wont be done until 6pm and it was currently 12... what to do for 6 hours... with no care... in some strange random place. We then walk to Target and walk around and begin to mess around and try some masks on in the toy section, we had a great ol time. Jared then proceeds to creep on two girls and then ask them directions to the movie theatre... what would you do if some strange random boy came up to you and asked the directions to the movie theatre and if we could all get a ride. Awkward! bhahah. Anyways we then find a ride to the movie theatre and decide to go see Jack and Jill, I then fall asleep because of the longest day ever. After the movie Tanner and Jayscon came and picked us up and took us back to the mechanics store, thankfully the truck was done! Thank heavens. What a day... or should i say FML!
