"Medium fries and I want a really good burger. Make that 2." The guy at the counter orders. "Coming right up." I smile just the cook shouts out "order up!" I sigh taking the oder to the requested table. Lunch hour is our busiest hour and I like to keep myself occupied. I haven't taken a break and I think I'm worrying her a bit. I say I'm fine because I am but not emotional. I've been a wreck since I gave it all away. I tried but nothing was working. Work itself was working so I decided to keep at it.
"Okay kid. You have done enough." She said stepping towards me. "But I just started." I protest. "You have been here since 6 a.m. You need to go home and get some sleep. I admire that you want to help but please take care of your well being." She said taking my jacket and putting it on me. "But... but...I need to be here." I say. "I know. I know. Go home and get sleep. Then you can come back." She says. I sigh and nod anyway. She's just looking out for me. I take my bag and leave.
"So and then he told me that he didn't want to be together but actually he did because I can just tell. I mean who can resist all of this!" Olivia said going on and on about her break up with Tristan. They broke up like 2 months ago. But somehow this girl doesn't look like she knows for sure its over. I've become everyone's counseler and I don't remember being assigned to it. Or anyone bringing me a check for it. I find it funny how they ask me questions I have nothing to reply to it.
"Get over yourself. Tristan wasn't all into you. He was at first but looking at that boy he was more into someone else. I know I sound mean but maybe he broke up with you and doesn't want to get back together because your conceited. Did you ever stop and think about how he feels? Or what he wants? You have made everything about yourself and he was probably fed up with it! Gosh Liv!" I bursted out saying. She just looked at me. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm fine. Are you okay?" I asked now feeling a bit.....better.
"I'm sorry. I just...I don't know. I feel like I'm getting better but then I lose it. I lose myself all over again. What is it that makes me like this? Liv I have tried over and over again but I fail everytime! Everytime! What am I doing wrong?" I asked her. She shrugged wrapping her arms around me. "First. Your trying too hard babe. I know I've never been with someone as long as you have but your forcing yourself. Stop trying to force yourself and just allow yourself." She said. I leaned on her shoulder closing my eyes.
"To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "Let stop you right there. I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see your brother." I say. "Why would you want to see him?" He asked. "Because he has more blood running to his brain rather then his dick." I say. "Awe now come on Laura. You can't resist me for long. My brother can't handle a woman like you." He smirked. "And you can?" I scoffled crossing my arms in front of my chest. "You know it baby." He grinned. I pushed past him.
"Nick? Are you here?" I asked stupidly to the empty home. "Where is he?" I asked. "How about he's not home?" He stated more like a question. "So why didn't you just say that?" I asked. "Because what fun would it be if you got everything you wanted from me and I got nothing from you?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "I'm out of here." I say. "Oh no what's the rush. Tell me why you really came here?" He asked. "It's between Nick and I. It doesn't concern you." I say. "Come on Laura. You can trust me." He said.
"No. I have a lot on my mind right now. And the last person that said that to me shattered my heart to pieces. I'm not ready to trust anyone." I say. "What is it with you? Your able to trust Tristan and Olivia and even my own brother but you can't trust me? What is it?" He asked. "Nothing Andy. Nothing. I got to go." I say quickly avoiding any kind of disaster I might've set myself up for. As I'm running I bump into Scott. He smiles holding his hand out for me. What is it with me?!
"Long time no see." He smiled. "Hey. I've been traveling. Had a blast. Now I'm back and all the reasons why I left in the first place are all tagging right behind me." I say coolly. He raises an eyebrow. "That's why we don't run from our problems but we face them." He chuckles. "I wasn't running...I was simply taking a moment to breathe." I scoffled. He knits his brows together. "Right. Is that why you haven't answered my texts or calls?" He asked. "No. I..How about we go out to dinner tonight? I'll even buy." I bribed.
"Will you actually show and not cancel last minute?" He teased. "I'm at a better place now. I promise." I wink. He smiles. "What time?" He asks. "Tonight at 8." I smiled in what felt like forever. A true genuine smile. "I'll be there. Anything specific I need to bring?" He asked. I laughed. "What? Why?" I asked. "To keep the beautiful smile on your face." He say. "Are you? Are you flirting with me?" I asked. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not." He winked. I chuckled. "Just you. And your ears because I'm a talker." I say. "I'll be there."
