She walked down the street with her ponytail moving side to side behind her head. It was about to fall put but somehow didn't, she didn't care though. Her ear buds played music through her ears. The cord ran down her knitted sweater and into her pocket with her iPhone. It was a cloudy day, not to hot for a walk. She yawned, she hadn't had enough sleep in the past... 3 years.

She walked into the parking lot, she didn't look around for drivers. She didn't really care if she got hit or not. She felt so little for her life. She tried, she tried to recover from this. She tried so hard but couldn't make it stop. She pulled open the rug old door, and walked in. The shop owner smiled as he recognized who the dark haired women was. "Hey Gunther" she said, the tone of her voice sounded sad. "Hey Jessica" the black man replied. She walked over to the coolers holding the drinks.

She heard the bell ring that signals someone has walked in. She didn't turn around, she continued to sing her music in her head. She picked out a monster, blueberry her favourite. As she closed the cold door, she glanced over at the man who had walked in. From the back she didn't see much, brown hair, kind of tall. She walked over to the snack isle and grabbed a granola bar. She walked around the corner and hit something with a thud.

She heard a grunt as she bent down to pick up her glasses. "I'm so sorry!" He said, she looked up. His brown eyes consumed her, he had this goofy little grin on his face. For the first time she took her remaining ear. "It's okay" she said, he noticed the flatness in her voice. "Are you okay?" He asks, she sighed. "Oh yeah I'm just tired" she said holding up her monster. "I'm Adam" he said, he stuck out his hand. "Jess" she said bluntly. He recognized this behavior before, mostly because he did it.

"Hey Jess are you busy today?" I ask, she nods. "Ah... uh yeah" she lied and paid. "Look Jess I know your not okay, I can see it on your face" he said, they walked out the store. "Thank you for the consideration but I do not need any help" she said and walked away. He looked at her, he knew he would see her again, whether fate or his own drive brought them together
