"Can I have a coffee, black", a grumpy, smelly man asks me.

"Sure, coming right up, any sugar", I ask.

"One", he says.

I walk up to the counter and shout, "One coffee black, one sugar".

I hear a ting behind me. I turn and smile, "What can I get for you today".

"Your number", the man winks.

"Not today", I reply.

"How about pancakes", my boss walks in.

"Morning", I smile.

"Can I have a apology", says a new man.

"Alex?". I haven't seen him in over 2 months.

"I think you left out of no where", he says.

"I'm taking a break", I shout.

***

We walk a bit out the shop. I light a smoke and look at him, raising an eyebrow.

"How'd you find me", I asked.

"I was driving when I stopped to get something to eat. It just so happens to be where you are", he shrugs.

"I don't want to go back", I said.

"I know. I'm not asking you to", he pauses for a blissful second, "I want to help you. I have $50 an-" I stopped him.

"I don't want to be around people. I don't want your help. I just, God, I don't know", I explain.

"You've been gone for 2 months. Please, just get out of this place", he says.

"And do what", I ask him.

"This isn't you", he says.

"What is me", I ask him.

"What", he says.

"What am I, who am I", I say.

"You are the girl who laughs at bad jokes and has a great home a-" I yet again cut him off.

"A great home. You don't know Shit", I explain in a frustrated tone.

"You don't swear", he looks at me.

"Things change. I am a girl who works here in the truck stop dinner and lives in a hotel room", I explain. 

"What do you want in life", he asks.

"To go everywhere, and anywhere", I reply.

"Lets go", he said.

"What", I reply.

"Lets go, nobody would know. Fuck everybody", he says. That makes me smile.

"Fuck it", I say.

"Fuck it", he repeats.
