Home again

It started with my mom and me leaving the old house. She was in this smaller car in front of me, not one we own. I am in my truck and waiting for her to leave when I look up to the house that belonged to a friend of mine's family. I saw my ex's truck and panicked nudging my mom's car forward like "hey, move!" I did not want to be seen by him. By then time I had rounded the corner towards another friend's house my panic left and I could think knowing that there was no way my ex had been to that house because he didn't know that friend. Anyway, I parked the car near the field I used to play in and got out, walking to an old bus stop. All the while thinking I was going to be late to work and at this time of day there really was no point in my going in. The light reflected some time around 7 (morning or evening- I couldn't tell) but that in determanite time due to season. For whatever reason I decide to walk up around the streets I used to wander, up around to yet another old friend's home. This time I was on a mission to give something back. I remember walking up to the door and debating whether or not to knock, but then just deciding to stuff what I was giving in the door jam. I manage to make it to the driveway before I hear his dad get to the door. He wants me to wait and I get past his neighbor's house before he leaves the property. I don't know why, but I end up running from him. In any actuality I have no reason to because I always thought that this friend's dad was awesome. I still ran. I ended up running through someone's back yard knowing that the dad was still behind me and I stop short because I don't know which yard to go in. One is fenced and the other open. I end up racing through the open yard and find a side door to the front of the house. For some reason I open that door and retreat in. I know the dad is still out there, close, but I back further and look out the back window. I don't see him, but I see on the window part of an alarm system. It didn't go off when I came in, but I wondered about it. I made my way to the front door and worked my way around to located the panel that held the controls. The digital screen said it was off, but I still pushed the big off button just in case and left out the back sliding door.

This next part was me driving through old town. It was steadily getting darker and the streets seemed crammed with parked cars. I went down a side road and scrapped the side of my car, trying to not get hit by something. Eventually, I got out and went into this small side shop and found an old high school friend. She had recently gotten married and I was able to give her a hug and wish her much love for her marriage. I end up apologizing to another girl in the store for hitting her car.
