Coffee shop run-ins

"Oh please blake you don't even care about us."

"Evelyn . I care about how happy you are! And look at you. You just sit there and you think. You practically daydream about having a different guy. I care about how your feeling . Of course I could give a shit less about brad because he's my best friends boyfr-"

"Can we just stop?" Tyler yells and Blake looks towards the window able to let tears fall. Like she's never done before.. not in public at least. Her knees move up and down viciously.

"I'm trying to help her-" She attempts but tyler interrupts her again.

"I don't care what the hell your trying to do. You guys are not helping each other the least bit."

Blake slams her hand down on the table scooting her chair out nocking it over and walks out the door.

"I'm gonna go talk to her." I nod and he gets up walking out the door.

I swallow hard and get on the edge of my seat.
I tap my foot to the beat of the music as one tear slowly falls from my eye.

A cup slams down on the table and I shoot up staring at the cup.

'Harry' it reads and someone sits down.

I look up at him. His emerald eyes.
The boy.

He slowly picks up the chair setting it upright.

He clears his throat.

"Yeknow? The thing about life is the way it treats us. And the way it treats us isn't normally good.. the way other people treat us isn't normally good either.. well I mean it depends on the person.. maybe you call that person your life.. or your life revolves around that person.." the whole time he's talking he stares at his coffee cup. Gently tapping his fingers along the side.

"Where are you going with this?" His head snaps towards me and he makes eye contact with me. I give him a cold stare biting the inside of my cheek. He moves up in his seat licking his lips.

"You-"

"Hey babe." I look up to see brad. His eyes a dark color.

".hey brad. Um this is uh. Harry. He's uh."

"Yeah let's go." He grabs my hand harshly.

"Nice meeting you harry." His teeth are gritted and he practically drags me out the door. He unlocks the doors to his car and I get in slowly.

"Brad is everything oka-"

"Who the hell is that? Who the hell is harry." He screams and my breathing gets heavy.

"He's just a friend"

"My ass!" He screams and I jump. "You think you can just cheat in me? YOU TELL ME TO COME AND PICK YOU UP IS THIS YOUR WAY OF TELLING ME YOUR BREAKING UP WITH ME?!"

"No brad-" He raises his hand up almost as if to hit me. He brings it down and smacks my face. I sit there in utter shock.

"HEY!" I hear harry yell and my head snaps towards the boy running towards the car. Brad puts the car in reverse and slams on the gas.

I can't help but scream.
