Last breath

-The first chapter-

     I closed my journal. Reading my first entry in this book full of my thoughts. It breaks my heart every time. I remember every little detail from that day. The way my mother was hollow as if she had lost her very own daughter. That day it felt like she did. I breathe letting all my emotions out through my breath. It happened two years ago. Yet it feels like months ago. I stand up from the bench i was sitting on. Seeing the individual leaves fall. The sun between the New York skyscrapers. It was a breath taking view. The sun touched my skin keeping me warm through the fall breeze. My favorite coffee shop is a couple blocks from where I'm standing. I decided just to walk there. While walking i see all the beautiful fall decorations even Christmas decorations.  People running to their jobs. Everyone with their own plans, their own stories. Finally approaching my destination I open the doors to the smell of coffee. Little did i know there was a guy behind the door i just flung open. Hitting him straight in the face.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry." I say these words with so much sincere.

"Oh no, you're fine. You just startled me. I see why they have the men hold the doors for woman now." He laughed which made me laugh. He was fairly attractive. Tall I'm not sure how tall because I'm only 5'2 so everyone was taller than me.He was wearing a grey sweater with black ripped jeans and black vans. He had a couple of tattoos. His were shown unlike mine. Which was slightly hidden. I continue to walk to my table next to the window. This kid wants to step on the back of my shoe. I fall face down. Dropping my journal and my wallet. I hear his familiar laugh.

"Okay I apologized for my minor mistake. I didn't think you'd make me kiss the god damn floor." I roll my eyes. He holds a hand out to help me while finishing his last laugh.

"I'm truly sorry. It's not everyday you see a gorgeous girl fall to the ground. Let me make it up to you. Do you care to have coffee with me? My treat." He smiled. His smile was one to remember I all ready knew. 

"You don't have to pay for me, but I'll be happy to keep you company with coffee." I smiled back at him. He handed my journal and my wallet back to me.

"Sounds good." he replies. I take what's mine and sit at our table. It was a bit awkward, but I mean we have only been sitting for three minutes .

"Hello, welcome to Jannace Sweet coffee. I'm Edlyn. What are you're orders?" She smiled. She was a new worker. I go here enough to know all the workers personally.

Hi Edlyn. I would love to get the vanilla coffee with a banana muffin please."  

"Okidokes your wishes may come true. And for you sir?" She looked at the dark haired boy.

"I would like The same thing as her. Just with a blueberry muffin. Banana muffins aren't my thing." He looked at me with a smirk. Edlyn giggled and went to work.

"Wow, not even 10 minutes into our friendship and you're all ready bashing my favorite muffin." I rolled my eyes sarcastically.

"Whoa we have a friendship all ready? Well let me introduce myself. I'm Nathan and I'm 19 and I like blueberry muffins."

"Well we both physically hurt one another so I say we're pretty close. I'm Amanda 19 years of age and I absolutely love banana muffins so kiss my ass."  I kissed the air and smiled. sassy like.

"Whoa Amanda, very harsh must I say. Well I see you like to write." pointing at my journal when our orders arrived.

"You are correct I write to clear my thoughts. What exactly do you do to clear your thoughts?" I sipped my coffee.

"I like to go to the park and look at the water. The water touches the city's horizon. If your there at the right time you can watch the sunset perfectly in between the skyscrapers." He talked with love in his voice. It was somewhat beautiful.
