Coffee Boy

Lyft

Hands.

I scooted into the huge booth next to kalynn at the end. The inside of this restaurant has a Texas Roadhouse vibe.

Luckily everyone is in their own little conversations so nothing is super awkward yet. Im just looking at the menu but honestly don't feel that hungry, more like sick to my stomach.

And suddenly my attention is diverted away from the flimsy paper in front of me when an older lady with grey hair approaches our table.

"hey folks, my name is Betty ill be helping you tonight, what can I get y'all to drink?" She asks us and I go first ordering a water to try and help hydrate myself after getting absolutely toasted at the beach today.

Kalynn, jake, and aksel order margaritas.

I really just stay to myself instead of chat and kalynn has noticed nudging me lightly a few times and mouthing 'you okay?"

But Im able to fend her off until everyone orders food. I quietly opt to not get anything.

After Betty leaves the table to put everyones order In I excuse myself to go to the bathroom.

"hey kalynn im gonna go pee" I tell her and get out of the booth.

Halfway to the bathroom I decide my heart is too heavy to stay here and I know Im bringing everyones mood down. I turn quickly to the doors and leave the restaurant and walk a bit before finding a bench down the road and ordering the cheapest Lyft I can back to the cabin. I can't even believe Im letting a guy make me feel this way I promised myself I was better than this...

Spending the money I had saved to pay for this trip and my share of the cabin on a Lyft back is not exactly what I wanted to do but I have to get out of here. The whole time I waited for my driver 'Tyler A' to arrive I reran my actions of the last days through my mind. bad idea.

When a black Nissan pulled up next to me I opened the back door hoping it was Tyler.

"Jordan?" He asks looking at me in the rearview mirror.

I nod and he sets off. Its a pretty long drive back so I begrudgingly answer his small talk questions. When we finally pull up I thank him and hop out and speed walk to the front door.

I type in the door code and go inside locking the door behind me. Once Im fully inside I let out the loudest scream of my life and it feels so good. Some tears start sliding down my cheeks slowly and I sniffle.

I will not cry. I walk to my bedroom and rip my drawers open. I just wanna go home and be in my own bed and alone. I hastily pull my suitcase out of the closet and throw everything into it then head to the bathroom and gather my things from in there and try to cram them into my suitcase. Its super full since nothing is folded but I manage to get it zipped. I fall into the bed holding back my emotions and try to order a Lyft back home. It is very pricey but at this point totally worth it. The driver will be here in 20 minutes so I just sink into the bed and look at the ceiling trying to block all emotions out. After a few minutes I hear a car outside, damn my ride got here fast. I get up and lug my bulging suitcase to the door but to my surprise the door opens and Im faced with Weston.

"what are you doing here?!" I ask him.

"I-" he draws out as if he's confused about his own actions before he lunges forward lightly grabbing both sides of my face in his hands. He crams his lips onto mine in a feverish manner and I pull back while taking a step back and holding my arms out defensively.

"no no no" I mumble the tears finally falling down my cheeks quickly.

"Jordan I-" He says before I cut him off angrily.
