"they can talk?" michael asked, looking at me.

"i guess", i answer. he hugs me tight to him.

"what's the time?" michael whispered.

"five fifty five", i say, looking at my watch.

"good," michael smiled, "i needed time to hug you"

i smile into his chest and we spend the five minutes hugging.

when the bell goes off, it still takes us a minute to stop.

"we made it," i smiled "night 3 done and dusted"

"i wish we could just quit", michael sighed.

"i can't", i whisper.

"why?" he asks, looking down into my eyes.

"i'm not like you," i state, "nobody wants to hire me, because i'm too ugly and fat! I can't just quit like you!" i yell.

"maybe you should do something talented!" michael yelled back at me.

i feel the tears brimming my eyes.

"keeping yourself alive isn't talent! how about tomorrow you can fend for yourself!" i screamed.

"you don't keep me alive! i keep you alive!" he screamed at me.

"then i guess you won't miss me when i'm gone", i say, a tear rolling down my cheek.

"w-what?" michael says, calming down, "where are you g-going?"

"home", i state "i'm feeling a little sick, better not come into work tomorrow"

"ashlee, i need you", michael whispered.

"i don't want to be an extra weight on your shoulders", i state, pushing past him and going out the door.

"ashlee!" michael shouted.

"goodbye, michael"
