Afraid To Love

Chapter 1

The AEW tour bus was parked in Los Angeles. Sam Ratsch got off the bus and started walking to a coffee shop a block away. He liked a barista named Jessie who worked there. He couldn't figure out why she kept turning him down for a date. He knew she liked him to.

Jessie Reece was a beautiful twenty-eight year old. She had strawberry blonde hair and light green eyes. She'd worked at a coffee shop for two years now. She saw Sam walk in. She had a huge crush on him and immediately got butterflies in her stomach. He came up to the counter.

"Hi Sam." She said.

"Hi Jessie."

"The usual?"

"Yes." She started making it. "You look beautiful today."

"I'm wearing my work uniform, the same thing you always see m."

"And you look beautiful every time." "Have dinner with me tonight Jessie."

"I'm busy."

"Ok." He said disappointed.

"Here's your coffee." She handed it to him. He paid for it and gave her a twenty dollar tip.

Later that night Jessie was in her apartment alone. Her phone rang.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Her best friend Winnie said.

"Hi"

"How was your day?"

"Good." "That cute wrestler Sam came in."

"Did he ask you out again?"

"Yeah."

"Did you tell him no again?"

"Yeah."

"Jessie." She said disapprovingly.

"You know it's a waste of my time to get close to someone."

Later that night Jessie was getting ready for bed. In her bathroom she opened her medicine cabinet, where she had rows of different pill bottles. She took two pills from each bottle and went to bed.
