finishing my adventure i drive threw a small town almost making it out to then earn the bad news that the road is blocked the construction work explained to me that it was closed until around 12 tonight i accept defeat and turn around i'll will just hang out here for the day i asked siri to direct me to the nearest coffee shop she does and i end up at the small friendly looking coffee shop i head inside waiting in line looking at the menu deciding what i should drink i don't want a nasty drink as i was staring at the menu i feel a push in my back i turn around and see a young lady i can tell she was a little embarrassed "i am so sorry" she says to me she was a very pretty woman "it's alright" i say to her turning around towards the menu still trying to decide i then turn back around and ask "what is your favorite thing on the menu" "white mocha latte with a shot of expresso" she tells me "i think i'm going to get the same thing i've never been here, i'm just visiting town" i admit to her "i knew you didn't look very familiar" she says "yeah i'm just here for the day" i tell her "lucky you" she admits i smile a little while turning around to see it's my turn to order "white mocha latte with a shot of expresso" i tell the lady worker there "that will be $3.78 sir" i hand her a five then put the change in the tip jar and wait for my drink after a minute or so my drink was done i take a sip and it was delicious i walk towards the door waving by to the lady behind me leaving i stroll threw the town wondering around looking at things i found myself walking towards i bridge that had a couple cars driving on it i keep walking and as i get closer i recognize the lady from the coffee shop i was going to say hi i saw her put her coffee cup in the trash then take off her shoes then she begins to climb on the bridge i run towards her "excuse me ma'am" i say to her she looks down at me "what are you doing" i ask her "what does it look like" she answers "please get down" i told her "why" she asked "you are needed and so important please get down" i beg her taking small steps towards her "i wish things were easy" she admits i keep walking towards her as she looks down at the very shallow river below i quickly grab her and pull her down "why are you doing this" she asked with tears coming down her face "i lost my best friend to suicide i don't want anyone to feel the way i did pain doesn't disappear it is passed" i tell she just stares at me "i'm sorry" she tells me and hugs me i hug her back "thank you so much" she tells me "come on let's go live life" i say grabbing her hand and leading her into town "show me around will you" i ask her "let's go to the village" she says "a lot of tourist go there" she tells me she shows me were it was i want to ask why she was going to do that but i rather not bring it up i'm glad i could have saved her
