The photo i added is about what Tates wolf (besides those line things on the face) and Havens hair looks like.

For the rest of the week Tate has been in the diner from opening till closing and would always walk me home. I still get uncomfortable around him and can't stand when he stands close to me for a long period of time but once or twice he has accidently brushed my hand and I don't freeze up any more like I do with everyone else.
My nightmares are still going strong and I have run out of my medicine so I will need to leave Westbrook to the next biggest town to find a doctor that'll give me a refill. Hopefully it won't be too hard because last time I ran out of these pills for a long period I took whatever I could get and that was a period of time I don't want to revisit like most of my childhood.
Today is Friday and I am actually pretty happy because I will have the weekend off to finally see the town and explore some. "Haven!" I hear Tammy scream as she runs up behind me while I walk to work. "Yeah?" I ask her as I slow down so she can catch up to me. "So are you coming to the play tonight?" She asks me with a smile on her face.
"Yeah I am getting off early tonight just to make sure I get there before it begins." I tell her making her bright smile widen. Tammy has become a great companion even though I have only been here for a little under a week and she is a young women. She never pushes me for questions on my past and keeps our conversations sweet and light.
"Sweet. I would love to talk more but I can't be late or my teacher will kill me. Bye, see you tonight!" She says before jogging off and I slowly walk to work knowing I will make it there before opening. When reach the diner I see Tate on the bench outside reading a paper in his hand. As if he senses me coming up even though I am still barely in the parking lot, he looks up and smiles at me looking me right in the eyes.
I quickly look away and duck my head like I usually do when he stares into my eyes. I always feel like he can read into my soul when he does that and that scares me more than most things. "Good morning snowflake." He says from behind me as I walk inside and he follows behind at a good distance. Over the last few nights of him walking me home he has noticed my displeasure when he stands close and has worked on backing off some.
"Morning Tate." I say as I head to the back to get his black coffee and bacon. I come out and give it to him earning me a smile like it does every morning before heading over to serve a few high school boys who come in every other day. Once I take their orders I turn to leave but the main guy stops me. "Hey wait I got a question." He calls out making me stop and turn to face him.
"Are you free tonight?" The boy asks me. "No, sorry." I say before turning to leave but get stopped again when one of them grabs my wrist. I quickly rip it out of his hold and run into the back room of the store. You never realize how some people will touch you out of nowhere or for no reason until every little touch makes you feel like you are dying.
I stay in the back for a few minutes and Patty just gives me a look like he usually does when I do this. I think he believes I just have really bad social anxiety so I am going to just leave him with thinking that. When I have finally calmed down Patty has already served those boys for me and told me they all look scared shitless now for some reason.
If I have to give my two cents into why I would say it's the big scary man who is glaring at them from his booth.
When Tate catches my eye his glare disappears and he gives me his smile I never see him do to anyone else. Which to be honest scares me way too much, I don't want to sound conceited but if he likes me more than a friend which it seems like he does I am going to have to deal with that and somehow let the scary guy down easily and I have never put in that kind of situation before so I just pray he actually only comes in here for the okay coffee and burnt bacon.
