Freeways, gun shots, and cops! Oh MY!

I spent the day with my best friend on Sunday; we went to a few places and then had Greek food for dinner. First, we went to Joann’s craft store, the closest one is about 12 miles away so I had to take the freeway. Yesterday’s trip resulted in us getting lost a few times. Taking the wrong exits, merging onto the wrong freeway etc. My best friend always says we need to record ourselves to capture all the stupid things we do. Once we got to the store it was a big disappointment, they only had one thing I needed, so we decided to go to Michaels instead. On the way we saw a car that was ridiculous. The pic in the corner. Again TOM TOM got us lost, well not really but we did turn into the wrong shopping center. After we went to Michaels we went to go get some food and headed to my house, that’s when all the crazy stuff happened.
At around 11pm 3 cop cars arrived at my neighbor’s house, this happens pretty often because they are always screaming at each other. My dad has a police scanner so we hear what they say. Every time the police are called to this house, all they say is “yup the couple on _____ street”. Well when the last cop pulled up we heard several loud shots, at first I thought they were coming from my neighbor but next thing I know all 3 cop cars are speeding off towards another part of the city. We listened to the police scanner and they had no idea where the shots came from or who did it. It was scary taking my friend home because she lives in the same general area the shots came from; we saw several police cars patrolling the streets.
When I got home I decided to do some homework and once again my neighbors started yelling. The cops came two more times and then there was silence for a good 2 hours. At 3am I hear them yelling again and the cops came again, this time they took the guy to jail. Before I went to bed I couldn’t help but think about how some people can remain in relationships that are so screwed up. I always fear that I will end up like them, but I don’t think my best friend would let that happen.
