THE DRIVE FROM COLORFUL EATS TO JOY'S HOUSE WAS short. which was bad, considering that joy lived fifteen minutes away. it took eight minutes to get from colorful eats to joy's house. joy was gripping onto the wheel while matt was clinging onto his seat for dear life. matt was shocked on how the two didn't crash.

when joy pulled to the curb to park, matt was surprised with what her house looked like. it was a medium-sized apartment. or townhouse. or duplex. it looked like many things. but matt was sure that this wasn't a large suburban home like anthony's. joy didn't live lavishly, he noticed.

"okay," joy stopped the car and turned to matt, "can you wait here for like⎯five minutes? it'll be quick, i swear."

matt softened at the girl. she seemed to be under a lot of stress for some reason. he didn't want to pry, so he didn't want to ask. "yeah, yeah. take your time," he tried to reassure.

joy didn't bother with a smile or a nod, instead she just ran out the car and slammed the door shut. so now, matt was left in the car alone, bored, and confused on why joy just slammed the door on her way out. whatever it was, he was caught in between asking her what was wrong and staying out of it.

joy slammed the door out of stress. time was running out for panera girl and this entire day has been a whirlwind of emotions for her. now, she has to pick up her little sister; her little sister, who will probably ask questions on why she was a random man in her car. or, jill would know matt and then the entire car ride would be even more awkward because she has a celebrity in her car. no matter how joy thinks of it, every situation seems to get worse.

joy fumbled for her keys before she shoved them into the hole to unlock the door. it took joy five seconds to unlock the door. if she hadn't been so stressed, she would've celebrated. it then took joy one minute to race up the stairs and aggressively knock on jill's door.
