"Joe's Coffee house"

Eva: VI you coming to my birthday party

VI: I don't know

Eva: come on

VI: The last thing I want is for
these people to kick me out of their house, I'm going to be homeless

Eva: Aren't you saving money?

VI: I don't think I have enough to get kicked out

"Hello"

VI: Half caff Vanilla Latte with caramel drizzle, two shots of espresso

"*smile* You remember"

VI: You only order the same thing.... every day, $8.47, please

"*looking through her purse trying to find her card* I think I left my card at home and I don't have any cash on me, I'm Sorry about that"

VI: *takes the coffee and put it in front of her * it's on the house

"Won't you get in trouble for that?"

VI: it'll be my good deed for today

"*Smile and look at her name tag* Violet I'll remember that, I'm Jade "

VI: Nice to meet you

Jade: Thank you * gives her a card and walks out*

Eva: you know Rico is going to talk shit right

VI: he's not going to be poor with just eight dollars missing

Eva: yes, Not according to him

VI: He'll be alright

*Two weeks later*

Sitting at one of the tables after my shift, Jade walks in.

Jade: no work today?

VI: no, my shift was over two hours ago

Jade: And you're still here? With all this noise?

VI: compare to where I live, it's peaceful

Jade:*takes a seat* Can I ask you a question?

VI: Sure

Jade: I don't want to sound rude, but why do you work here? You're pretty, you can do better than that

VI:*smile* my life just turns out like that.

Jade: I'm listening

VI: there's not much to tell honestly

Jade: you know you remind me of myself

VI: right

Jade: No, I'm serious. I was once just like you

VI: What happened?

Jade: A lot

VI: I see

Jade: it's raining, I'll give you a ride home, and no, I'm not taking no for an answer.

We both ran outside to her car, she drives an expensive car, and it smells like a brand new one. I give her the address, and she drives off.

*45 minutes later *

I get out of the car, and it's pouring out like crazy, I put the keys in the door and it's not opening, it's like they changed locks, a few moments later after I knocked, they open the door and start to throw out my things.

Jade: what happened?

VI: nothing, you can go

Jade: I can't leave you out in the rain like that
