JEN'S DINER

That evening, it's raining outside, Jonny and Monica are sitting in a booth table across from each other with their paper food trays of French fries and strawberry milkshakes.


"So, how's the lacrosse rugby thing?" Monica asked Jonny.


"It's pretty good so far. The guys and I have been practicing on some routines." said Jonny.


"Okay." Monica said.


The boyfriend girlfriend, Jonny and Monica, exchange smiles at each other as they proceeds to eat on their diner snacks.


The diner door opens and closes. And I slowly walks inside, gently pulls off my cape hoodie.

Jonny's eyes wanders off from Monica to me. I glances at him and looks away from him as I slowly walks up to the diner counter. And Jonny recalls the evening that he didn't reciprocate his romantic feelings for me when he had his romantic chance.





{FLASHBACK; JEN'S DINER}


Outside of Jen's Diner that evening, I had put my duffle bags in the trunk of the cab. Jonny drives up on his motorbike.


"Violet?" Jonny said.


I looks at Jonny, glumly. "I already know about you and Monica, apparently, Cherry spilled the beans about it."


"I've been wanting to tell you, I just didn't know how." Jonny said, and looks at the cab. "Where are you going?"


"Oak Valley. There's a therapy session program." I tell him. "But do you love me or not?"


"You know I can't answer that, Violet. I'm with Monica. But I'm not the guy for you. I'm sorry, but I'm not." Jonny said to me, glumly.


"I'll see you when I get back." I said, getting inside the backseat of the cab, closing the door behind me.


It starts to rain as the cab drives away, and Jonny looks at the cab as it drives away.

{FLASHBACK ENDS}



"Hi, Jen. Can I have my usual, please?" I asked Jen with a small smile.
