I'll Carry You

~Emerald's P.O.V. ~

When Andy and I said goodbye to each other, I went to the kitchen and got a monster out of the fridge and started making pancakes. When they were done, I put them on a plate and went back to the living room. I sat on my couch and turned in the tv and watched Supernatural. God I've always wanted a 1967 Chevy Impala. I thought to myself and began thinking about what I would do if I ever got one. Then, after thinking, I got online and searched for a 1967 Chevy Impala the was for sale. I need a new car anyways.

After about 30 minutes of looking, I found one for a really reasonable price and I called the people the owned it.

E- hello. I'm calling about the 1967 Chevy Impala that you have for sale.
P (person)- hi. Yes, I'm trying to get rid of this car. I just don't have any room for it anymore.
E- I would love to buy it from you.
P- great! Can we meet somewhere so you can look at the car and see if you absolutely want it?
E- of course! Where do you want to meet?
P- how about Starbucks in San Diego?
E- that sounds great! I'll be there in half an hour!
P- great! I'll see you then. Oh, and what's your name dear?
E- I'm so sorry, I should've told you that before. My name is Emerald.
P- it's quite okay, dear. My name is Joyce. And so you can find me, I'll be wearing a flower shirt and khaki pants.
E- okay. Thank you so much, Joyce!
J- you're quite welcome, dear.
E- I'll see you there, Joyce. I have to get ready really quick.
J- okay, Emerald. I'll see you then. Goodbye dear.
E- okay! Goodbye Joyce.

I said and then hung up. I got off of my couch after turning off the tv and put my plate in the sink. I went to the bathroom and then put my shoes on and headed to Starbucks in San Diego.

*30 minutes later*

i got to Starbucks! and the first think I noticed was a black 1967 Chevy Impala. I squealed when I saw it then I went in and noticed Joyce sitting at a table, alone. She looked to be in her mid-sixties but she still looked good. I walked over to the table and cleared my throat.

"Excuse me, are you Joyce?" I asked and she looked up and smiled.

"Why yes I am. You must be Emerald." Joyce said and I smiled. She reminded me of my grandma.

"Yes ma'am." I said and Joyce smiled.

"So down to business, I just recently had everything fixed on the car and it's like brand new. But I'm only asking for $2,000 for it since I want to get rid of it." Joyce said and I nodded, understandingly.

"I'll take it. But there's one problem. I don't have the money right now. I'm working and making money. So can I pay you little at a time until it's paid off?" I asked and Joyce looked as if she was thinking it over.

"Yes you can, darling. I don't mind that at all."

I sighed, relieved and said "You have my word on that. I can pay you $100 now, if you would like." Joyce smiled at me.

"That's fine with me dear." Then Joyce took my hands and looked me in the eyes, "thank you so much, Emerald. I really needed to get rid of that car and I need the money. I'm not doing so well and I need to pay for the medical bills." When Joyce said that, there were tears welling up in my eyes.

"It's no problem, Joyce. I'm happy to take the car for you. And I understand. When my grandma was alive, she wasn't doing well at all. She died a year ago next month and I'm still not over it. And when I first walked in here and saw you sitting alone, you reminded me of my grandma." I said. Joyce looked at me with very sympathetic eyes.

"My condolences, Emerald. You're a very sweet girl and I'd love to get to know you." Joyce said smiling and I smiled back. We sat in Starbucks talking for the next two hours before Joyce had to leave, and I had to go home. Joyce took my car and told me that she would send it to the scrap yard. Well, she took it after I got my stuff from it. I then drove home in my new 1967 Chevy Impala.

Notes

Long time since update, I know. I've been busy with school and my phone quit working the other day so I couldn't update. But I made this update somewhat longer than the others.

What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments :)
