" Then why isn't he... you know what , deal"

" geez ok"

{ Later at Lonnie's house"

" Bye guys"

" by maggie , talk to you later"

" Lonnie?...hello??"

Guess he's at " work" aka either the bar or some chick's house. I don't know and honestly don't care. Mom and him split ages ago so his location is no longer my concern, not that it ever really was. Just glad I get some alone time before I gotta go to work. I put on some music and begin tidying up the trailer, if I don't do it , it won't happen. 2:50 , ten minutes till I gotta leave. I finish up the dishes and go to get ready for work , sliding on my diner uniform. I work at a local diner in town square called Benny's. It's one of the only diners in town so we get decent business, and I get decent hours. With my white collared tee ,and black Knee length skirt , I head out the door , keys in hand. Yup , I drive , I am 17 after all. I drive a white 1982 Buick Riviera Convertible. I got it as a 16th birthday gift from Jonathan. He'd been putting money aside since I was 12. I couldn't believe it. I was so happy I actually cried.

{ At benny's }

" Hey Mr. Franklin"

" Good Morning Magnolia"
