Riptide

The one to blame

She woke up around 4 am , living alone wasn't her forte but ever since she could get a place of her own she treasured it like a piece of heaven. Working and going to high school isn't easy but she had friends who would help her with anything .

She looked up at the ceiling, she had that dream again, the one memory she could never forget .

- the dark side of the night always brings the truth to the surface . 

Her drunk parents who abandoned her with an aunt who couldn't give two fucks about her ,she pretty much grew up on her own , until she met Finn and orphan himself who lived with his grandfather . 

The room she lived in was quite small but Finn's grandfather was very kind to let her use the garage for as long as she needed, He knew she didn't have money but she insisted on paying him rent. That's why she worked as many shifts as she could in that 24h dinner ''Across the galaxy'' ; the name was pretty lame but the pay was nice for what the job required, she had used the money to buy some furniture and a shelf for her beloved books . 

Fiction was the way she found to forget about reality .

He woke up around 4am, living with his mother in her huge mansion, but she was never there always traveling to international meetings . He hated this place for the sake of doing so. High school was hell and he would make sure to be it's demon . Being the owner's son had it's advantages .

He looked up at the ceiling, He had that dream again, the one memory he couldn't forget.

- The bright side of the day always help us keep the lies underneath .

His mom was an international figure , his father left when he was young, his uncle was the one who took care of him . He was always the problematic child , the unwanted , always asking himself why he was even born to begin with. He would destroy things, get into fights and yet his mother would not come to see him , she would always send money and her secretary. 

His room was huge, he would always listen to loud music or invite his friends over on some of their private parties . He was always surrounded with people but the more people there was the more he felt alone , often breaking furniture and not giving a damn about things . His friends hux and phasma were pretty much the ones who would always come to his house but he knew it was only because of his mother influence . 

Breaking things was the way he found to forget about reality .

Clean, serve, warm, give, receive, serve. 

She would always smile to every client and do her best at everything she was asked to do , the dinner was particularly busy around breakfast, from the corner of her eyes she could see 3 clients arriving . She had never seen someone that tall, dark long hair, motorbike jacket and blood . His hands were bleeding , his red haired friend and the tall boyish woman besides him didn't seem to notice, or care . 

He looked at her; annoyed . 

-Welcome to across the galaxy, tell me what you desire and i'll make sure to bring it faster than light speed - that sentence always made her wanna hide underground, but damn the paycheck was tempting. 

- Coffee , no sugar . be fast - a man of few words i see, she though to herself, as she was going to bring her coffee she could feel someone's feet in her way and she fell hands first on the floor she look behind and she could see the red haired guy laughing with the blonde girl, Mr. Snape over there didn't even blink . 

She stood up and cleaned her clothes .

- You should be more careful next time sweetheart - say the red scum 

- My mistake sir , - she said trying to hide the murder desire within her - i'll be right back . 

Back in the kitchen while she was preparing their coffee she could see a blue around her hands '' perfect way to start the day'' 

She went to the fridge to take some ice and wrapped it around a cloth that was lying around, on her way back to the table...she remembered the guys blood , '' i am way to kind for my own damn sake '' .

As she put the coffee in each mug she used the other hand so give '' Mr.snape'' the ice .

- Your hand... - He looked at her and she didn't quite understand his eyes , they looked angry yet confused , for what god knows this man had never seen kindness in his life, his reaction infuriated her none the less , maybe he was an alien for what she knows , because to him making a mug purposely break seemed like a good idea for saying thank you. 

The table laughed , she swallowed her pride, in a reaction of anger she picked up the broken mug with her bare hands , blood falling as she did so . If God is fair she would never cross this asshole in her life again . 

Back in the kitchen, Rose her friend came to help her clean her hand , it was a series of small cuts , it hurts none the less . 

- Rich bastards, if i could i would go there and break this mug on their stupid heads. 

- Don't get yourself in trouble because of me these kind of people never had love in their life . One day he'll pay anyway . 

She packed up and went to school . It wasn't even 8 am already and the day already announced itself as being just one more of those days she would go back to her beloved garage shower and consume an entire book for the sake of doing so .

And of course his reaction to kindness was violence , of course it was. 

He cursed himself ,'' i mean that stupid brown eyed girl brought it upon herself. She's the one to blame.  No one asked her to be kind, let me bleed to death and the world wouldn't even feel the difference'' . 

he kept the cloth, an apology for once wouldn't kill. He would go back to the damn dinner once he was finished with this burden called school. Hurting people for no reason was a habit. Or maybe an excuse to not get hurt , even he didn't know .

- That dinner girl was all over you man , being kind and shit , Pretty sure she wanted the D. - Said Hux, couldn't he just shut up already. - Well , Well, talking about the devil. - He pointed with his big nose on a girl's direction, hair down , not wearing some stupid alien themed costume, band-aid all over her left hand . No curves, no big breast , totally not his type, she was with two guys by her side .

- As if i cared asshole - said Ren taking  his bag from his expensive  motorbike. putting the cloth in his pocket . 

- I bet you she hate you by now - said Phasma - I am a girl, i know what i'm talking about 

- Are you really doubting my charms Phas' ? - Why not bring some fun for the month . - I bet i could make her fall in love with me in less than a month - Phasma laughed as if she just heard the funniest joke of her entire life .

- Then go on big boy , after you did to the poor thing i'm pretty sure she would spit on your face as she sees you . - How dare she mocks me .

- Watch and see . - i came closer to her and tapped her from behind on the shoulder . she turned and disgust was written all  over her face , she whispered something like '' it's him '' and before i could say anything a warm fist landed on my face . Some dude with a pilot jacket just dared punch me . 

-Poe stop!- the girl shouted - Finn, Poe let's go before it's too late . - I spitted the blood on the floor, and laughed to myself . It's going to be fun indeed . Breaking your heart. For once i held my temper inside for a greater good . That Poe guy will totally pay .

Gimme one damn month and you will be crying and screaming my name .
