The Story of Her Life

Chapter 6

I woke up in Sean's arms. His eyes were closed and his breathing had a nice rhythm to it.

There was movement in the house. It was probably Tessa, but I wanted to make sure.

I walk into our shared bedroom, and no one was there. I heard another noise and followed it. I went through the hall, all the rooms, but couldn't find out where it was coming from.

Finally I walked out to the balcony and saw Tessa, but she wasn't alone. Sitting next to her was Dylan.

Sean came up behind me. I didn't know he was awake until now. He put his arms around my waist and brought me closer to him. We just sat there watching Tessa and Dylan talk on the balcony. Tessa and Dylan stood up, and started kissing. I turned an looked towards Sean. He smiled and a little laugh came out of it.

The door to the balcony opened. I turned back towards them. They were hand and hand. Tessa looked at me, still in Sean's arms. I smiled and kissed my boyfriend.

"Whose hungry?" Dylan asked. I raised my hand like a little school girl.

The other 3 laughed. I gave my best cutest smile. We walked out of the apartment and to the parking lot.

Sean and I took his Jeep, while Tessa and Dylan took Dylan's pickup truck. We drove to a diner that was on the edge of town. I didn't know this place existed.

Sean parked next to his brother and we got out. Dylan and Tessa picked out a table and were already sitting next to each other. I got into the booth and scooted over to make room for Sean.

It was quiet for a little bit. We just sat and stared at each other for the longest time until the waiter came.

She was young and very beautiful. Her name tag said Sophia. Sophia was looking at Sean in like a oh he's cute way. I wasn't worried about it because Sean was mine.

"What can I get you?" Sophia asked.

I looked at the menu and then spoke. " I would like a cup of coffee, a stack of chocolate chip pancakes and 2 pieces of bacon." She wrote down my order. Then she went to Sean.

"Can I get the same thing?" He asked. Sophia nodded her head yes, then wrote down his order.

Then she went to Tessa. Tessa ordered a cup of coffee, scrambled eggs and 3 slices of bacon. Dylan ordered a cup of coffee, a stack of blueberry pancakes and 3 slices of bacon. Sophia wrote down his order and then left.

Sean took my hand under the table and held it. I smile crept onto my face.

"How was your evening?" Asked Tessa.

"It was eh," I replied.

"What did the guy at the station want?" She asked.

I sighed and took a long breath. "They wanted me to answer some questions."

Tessa nodded and looked at Dylan. "Are you going to go back to school this week? " Tessa asked me.

I had taken a break from college because of my family's death. My professors understood and they were going to let me make it up.

"Yeah. The funeral is this Saturday if you want to come. You were really close to them, and I think they both would want you there. " I told Tessa.

She nodded her head. "Yeah, they would want that wouldn't they. I'll go. You guys were like my second family. It was the only place I could go when my parents fought. " A tear slid down her cheek and she wiped it away.

Thank god Sophia came with our coffee. She was really cheerful and this I didn't like. She put the coffee mugs and saucers in front of each of us and left us a pitcher filled with coffee. Before she left she said, "Your food will be ready shortly." She walked off to another table and took their order.
