He smiled down at me, "you know the cafe boy has a name"

"And so does the cafe girl" I responded as I got back on my feet.

He took in a deep breath and raised an eyebrow, "you know, I've seen you two times in one day, that's a sign we're meant to be I'm also getting some serious vibes off of you" he said as he acted surprised.

I let out a small giggle, "you remind me of someone I know"

"Well is that person as good looking as I am?" He asked while he brushed a hand through his hair like Jc always does.

I came here to get away from Jc but everything I see reminds me of him. Is the world out to get me?

I began walking away quickly. I didn't know what else to do and I panicked. He caught up to me and walked by my side.

"You know it's not nice to walk away from someone who's trying to make conversation" he said as he walked by my side.

I shrugged my shoulders, "like I said you remind me of someone I know" I said as I tucked a lock of hair behind my ear.

"Is that so bad?"

I stopped and looked up at him, "that someone is the person I ran away from" he looked down at me for a moment with a bit of pity in his eyes. I looked away and continued walking to nowhere in specific.

"I didn't me-"

I stopped and turned around once more, "please stop apologizing" all I need right now is a friend and I'm blowing it, the only friend I thought I had was Jc but he proved to me that he's not, the only friend I actually have is kian but he's not here now, "I'm Bailey Marie Phoenix" i said as I stuck a hand out for him to shake.

He looked at me confused, "you know it's rude to leave me hanging" I smiled.

He let out a small chuckle and shook my hand, "I'm Matthew Lenore"

He looked down at my feet and noticed the struggle I was having earlier with my sandal and the pebbles, "come with me" he smiled as he pulled my arm and began jogging.

"Where are we going?" I giggled.

He didn't say a word he just dragged me into an old store that I didn't even have time to read the sign. This store was full of boots, not Uggs or rock star boots but cow girl boots.

"What are we doing here?" I asked as I looked around.

"You won't make it very far with those shoes" he said as he pointed to my exposed feet. My toe nails need a serious pedicure.

"So you want me to get a pair of boots?" I asked as I began walking down the ails.

"Yeah now go on and find a pair that you like"

I shrugged my shoulders and began grabbing pair after pair looking for the perfect boots.

"I noticed you have a backpack, are you here to visit?" I asked as I turned around to look at him. His blue eyes were so beautiful, it was like I was staring into the sky.

"I'm leaving actually, there's a bus that's further away from town and it'll take me far away from here. I just need to find somewhere to stay for the night"

I bit down on my tongue to keep myself from offering something I would later regret. I just can't help it I like to help people, that's the kind of person I am.
