We head to a bar in his car after we picked a bed, he said he has a matress so i won't have to deal with that.

We step out and i get dragged into the building by him where a couple of people are cleaning something up.

"I'm sorry but we are closed" a man says, he looks a bit older but friendly.
"Oh hey paul didn't recornige you" "hey tony, do you still have a job available cause she wants one". The man looked at me and said "if you want to you can work here. You will be our waitress but it's not as fun as it looks there are a lot of pervers so you need te be able to handle that". For some reason it seems like he's trying to protect me from taking this job. "I really need a job so that doesn't bother me to much". I say with a smile. He laughs and says, "great whats your name and when are you free". The man and i talk about the job for a while and hired me. It seems good, because it's also very close to our appartment so i can walk home every night.

"So, hired?" Ace asks "yeah, i now officialy have a job again, im starting tomorrow". "Good but he is serious about some men, i've seen alot go down in that bar, so i want you to be carefull okay?" I don't really care, i'm one of those people that like adrenaline and it's sick but i find that in situations like that, thats just how i work i can't help it. "Yeah sure, tony told me that i just have to tell him if someone bothers me and he'll trow him out, he seems like a nice guy". His face becomes a little less tense than before. "I have known him for quite some time, you can trust him he's like an uncle to me". "Good to know".

It's around 4 pm when i start putting the bed frame up of the bed i just bought, it's pretty easy and works out. my bed is right across the room from the door under the window. I like the fact that the bed is quite high just like Ace's so you can watch out the window.
We also got a little closet for my clothes so i could have them somewhere and not have this bag forever. It starts working out, i got a job, a pretty nice place to sleep, and i'm in New York. I hope i can just start again, a new start at life. I pick up Ace's acoustic guitar and play a few chords, looking out the window.

When ace comes into the room.

"I thought you were going out". "Not anymore, i see youre using my guitar now". I didn't really asked to use it.
"I'm sorry, i'll put it back if-" "no it's fine, use it". "Oh" i mumble. "I played yours to it's a nice one, never seen anything like it". "Thanks". I feel myself getting hungry, since the time it makes sense. "Are you hungry?" I ask him. "Yeah wanna eat somewhere?". "I can make some" he looks confused and amused at the same time. "Can you cook? No offense but you don't really look like you can".
Rude. "I can make really good plates of rat poison, specially for you" i give him a sarcastic smile. He laughs and i can't help but laugh to, he just has a strange laugh but i'm here for it. "Come your gonna help me".
"With what making rat poison".
He bursts out laughing as i leave the room.
"Fuck you haha asshole".

Cooking was a mess but we got it done, we made some spaghetti, it tastes good, it always reminds me of home wherever and whenever i eat it.

"Tastes pretty good". "it does". "Soo" i look at him confused. "Sooo what".
"Why did you move here, youre not from New York". How does he know that? "I wanted to come here to see ifff" i stop to proces what i'm going to say.  "there's more here than where i come from. "And where do you come from?" "Hell". I look at him, a slight smile on his face, he thinks i'm joking, but that's only what he thinks. I know there's more to life and if that's with weird shit i don't care, as long as i feel alive. right?

There's is a knock on the door and i stand up to open it while ace watches me. "Uh hey, is Ace here?" I'm met with a man with long blond hair and bleu eyes, a little bit taller than me. He has a genuine smile on his face. "Uh yeah" i open the door so he can come in, returning a smile, i think he knows him.
"Hey steven" "hey, wanna come with me" "Sure, what do ya wanna do?" "Just you know drink". Ace looks at me then at the mess in the kitchen and back at me. "Just go, i'll clean it up". "Thanks" he smiles and with that he's out the door, leaving me with the mess, whatever.
