A peek of the first chapter...
I hang my head low, wrists immobilized in restraints, waiting for something or someone to disrupt the grim atmosphere. The cold basement air chilling my bare back with a fate no one would ever want, a waiting me just u...
I was actually happy to get out of the house and have some time to myself. That walk to the store was much needed. I made stops in the isles with things we needed, arriving in the dairy section last, due to it being in the back. While deciding whether I should get 1% or 2% milk, out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone that seemed familiar. She was grabbing armfulls of sour cream. I used to have a friend who loved sour cream back in Ireland... Then she moved to America! I did know her! I could recognize that floofy gray hair of hers and her strange fashion sense. Although... I don't remember her name... It's been to long. She cocks her head to the side. I realize I've been staring this whole time. Aww shit. There go's my only chance to say hi. I take the 2% milk and quickly start pushing my cart to the front of the store.
I hear footsteps clipping behind me. I see her matching my speed trying to catch up. I keep my pace.
"Hey! Do I know you?" She shouts. Not being bothered my the attention she had gathered.
At this point I couldn't act like I didn't know she was there. I turned around and faced her now getting a better look at her. (I drew a picture of her so yall know what she looks like cuz she's a little strange)

Disregarding the dozen pairs of eyes on us I respond, "I'd ask the same to you."
"Well, what's your name?"
"Sean, but I'm more commonly known as Jack."
"I DO KNOW YOU!!!! WE USED TO GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER!!!" She shouted. Drawing even more eyes to look at us. I fake smiled. Trying to look normal as everyone judged us. "Sorry, I'm just excited to see you again!"
"I guess I am too but... Uhh... I can't remember your name..."
"Oh silly, my name's Rachel!"
"Well nice to meet you again Rachel. It's all coming back to me now. All the times we had together, that was great!"
Rachel smiles "Hey! We should hang out sometime! Oh wait!" she pulls out a pen and notepad out of one of her pockets and writes something down on it. She holds it out to me "Heres my number. You can call me anytime!"
"Ok. Do you want my number?"
"Absolutely!"
I write down my number on on the notepad "There you go." I hand it back to her.
"Thanks! Can't wait to spend time with you again! Its been so long! Anyway, I gotta go, bye!"
"Bye..."
We part ways. I go get my cart and check out of the store. I carry the groceries home then set them on the counter. I see Mark has set up Overwatch for us to play. One of my favorite games! I wonder if Rachel likes Overwatch.
