So sick of this lonely air
It seems such a waste of breath
So much that I need to say
So much to get off my chest

I'm waiting patiently though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that

You're the one designed for me.

A hand reaches out for me to grab. I grab it and he pulls me up. "I'm so sorry miss," he smiled slightly still embarrassed.

I looked at him. He was quite cute. I've seen him before, he seems familiar. I quickly covered my face because my mascara is probably running from me crying. "Thanks it's no big deal," I faked laughed. "My day already sucked,"

His smile faded slowly. "Hey what's wrong," he asked with sympathy. I just shook my head and covered my face more. "Look at me beautiful," he moved my hair out of my face and moved my hands down. I wanted to put my hands back up to cover my face but he'd just remove them again. "What's wrong," he asked again a bit more concerned.

"It's complicated," I said looking down. He lifted my head up again.

"I have time. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be crying,"

"Ha. I'm not pretty. Supposedly this dress makes me fat," At this moment I feel anything but pretty. I was still hurt by Luke's words.

"Girl Drama?" He guessed. I shook my head no. "A guy called you fat," I nodded. He pulled me into a hug. I don't think I know the guy but it feels good to have someone hug me.

"It's okay. You are not fat. You're beautiful," he smiled. "Do you need a ride?"

I nodded shyly. He took off his leather jacket and gave it to me to put over my head until we got in the car.

Luke POV

Jessica stormed off outside after I told her the truth. I don't care if her feelings are hurt. I didn't want her to think I liked her when I was being nice.

From the corner of my eye I saw Jessica fall on the ground. I was going to go outside and help her but someone beat me to it. I don't know why but I feel angry. For gods sakes I don't even like the girl.

I use my super hearing to ease drop a bit.

"I have time. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be crying," the guy spoke.

Jessica and the guy talk for a while then she gets in his car. This made my blood boil. Does she even know the guy!

I couldn't have all these thoughts going around in my head. I needed a drink.

"Sir, I need two more shots," I told the bartender.

"You're only getting one. You're already drunk enough," he told me sternly. Who does he think he is? My dad? Nope!

"Okay Mr.Poopy pants," I groaned and took my shot. The burning sensation in my throat felt good.

"Bad day huh?" The bartender said his read 'Tim' or 'Jim' I don't know I couldn't read it very well.

"Something like that," I shrugged.

"Everyone has those days man,"

"Yeah, I'm thinking of goin' home now," I stumbled out of the bar.

"Hey! Let me call you a taxi!" The man yelled.

"Nah Nah. I'm fined," I slurred and waved him off.
