Dunkin' Donuts [ H.S. ]

Chapter 2

Natalie drives in the street of North Carolina to her best friend's apartment. Silence embraces the car, just the sound of Andrea's fingers drumming on the window making a beat of a song.

"Are you still going to the wedding?" she looked at the expressionless Natalie.

"Well, its my wedding" she replied with a little laugh, tries to joke about it opposing her feelings inside.

A wedding she doesnt agreed to, but thats is what her father wants.

She will end up like her sister, forced to be married to a man she doesnt want and love.

Is this what Nellie felt before her wedding? she thought.

Natalie is seven when her sister got married, she watched the groom and the bride exchanged rings with full admiration. She actually loved that day, she threw flower petals, she wore a little pink dress and her favorite white shoes.

"I want to get married!" seven-year-old Natalie exclaimed to her sister.That day Natalie didnt understand why a tear fell from her sister eyes and why she mumbled "You can do better my baby sis"

Is this why?

After dropping her best friend off, Natalie stepped inside their house, the empty atmosphere surrounds the lobby, a low light of the lamps on both ends of the stairs, similar to what she feels since the day of arrangement - dull.

While just block away from the doughnut shop, is where Harry spends his night.

Loud music, liquoir drinks, colored lights dancing with the wild people.

"Harry, you're on!" the manager called. He made his way into the crowd of intoxicated, sweaty people dancing wild.

Lights went off, vibrating walls was changed to gasped and unusual silence of disbelief.

Harry stood on the high platform, infront of the sound system and other equipments, he put his headphones. Ready to begin a new live music.
