Ballad of Rain

Chapter Eight

       As he was driving to a café he knew about, Sam turned on the radio and started singing to country songs. A smile grew on Rain's face as he took her hand. He couldn't believe how quickly he could have gone from wanting to cut every night to not even having the thought cross his mind all because of this girl. This ray of sunshine that saved him from his own darkness. Rain shook his head and tried to focus on driving. After twenty minutes of driving they arrived at a simple café. Rain and Sam walked in, and Sam asked where the bathroom was. Rain pointed it out and said he'd get them a spot. Rain walked up to the counter and got 2 coffees and a breakfast sandwich. He didn't plan on eating, but wanted for Sam to eat something. As he sat down, Sam walked towards him and sat with him. He told her that he had gotten the sandwich and also a coffee for her. She frowned slightly. "What are you going to eat?" Sam asked, worried. "I don't usually eat breakfast," Rain explained. After a couple minutes of talking it over Sam convinced Rain to at least eat half of the sandwich. After they were done, the guy at the counter walked over and looked at Rain, "Do you want any more coffee?" Rain said he was fine and the man walked away. "Why had he not asked Sam?" he wondered.
