The Final Say

Chapter 2(Jakes POV)

I woke up realizing I had work today. It's been 3 weeks since I worked at Locals and it's been pretty good for me. I looked at the time and it said 11:46 am. Shoot my shift starts in 14 minutes. So I got up quickly and threw on my uniform and drove off. As I was driving I see this girl on the sidewalk it looked like her head was hurting. I pulled over to the curb and walked towards her.

As I walked closer I could see she's hurting and then there's this feeling inside me that's telling me to go help her. I walked closer and I could see her face, it looked like she was in so much pain. I asked if she was okay and when she looked at me I realize how pretty she looked even if she looked so anorexic.

I asked again, and this time she nodded and that agonizing look went away. I smiled at her and then I realized I was going to be late so I just walked towards my car. I know it was a dick move, but I couldn't be late and it looked like she was fine.

But after I drove off, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I wanted to turn around but I was already in front of Locos. I sighed, hope I'll get to see her some other time. I got in and saw my manager. I forgot that someone I had not work with will come in and work with me today, that's why he's here. As soon as I heard the door open, it was her. I couldn't help but smile and as I stare at her she looked shocked. I hoped to see her smile, but she didn't. She just gave that fake smile and walked towards us.

"Welcome back Liyah!" Our manger shouted. As soon as he said that all our cooks came out and started walking towards her and giving her a hug. I was confused.

"It's been awhile huh Rob." Her sweet angelic voice said.

I was about to ask a question, but Rob looked at me and explained everything. How Aaliyah had some family issues, and she had to be off for like 4 months and that it's been awhile that she's been out. But when Rob explained that she had family issues, I couldn't help look at Aaliyah as she figet with her hands and looking unsure of herself when he told me that.

I didn't bother to ask anything because I felt as if she was going through so much, and if I asked things might go wrong. So as soon as my manager explained things to her and customers came, she adjusted to things. She remembers everything and I could actually see a real smile come out of her. I thought she really looked cute. I couldn't help but state at her, and she would notice me stare. She would also catch a glimpse of me as when we make eye contact I couldn't help but laugh.

Next thing you know it was 10 pm meaning our shift was done. I was pretty sad because it meant leaving her. But instead of leaving like I did last time, I stayed awhile and talked to her.

"Hey."

She looked up, "Hello."

" So how you going home?" I was eager to ask.

"Walk." She looked down. Hell no I wasn't going to let her walk home.

" I can give you a ride. It's too late."

Before she could say no I grabbed her hand and led her to my hand. As I touched her hand, a heat of emotion ran towards me.

As we were in the car I asked her questions like what school she goes to, what grade she is and when she'll be working again. Surprisingly all my shifts this month is with her. SCORE. She's also my grade, and from my school. Double score! I actually liked talking to her. But as we stopped in front of her driveway, her smile went away. That sad face I saw earlier came back. She thanked me, gave me that fake smile and left. But she didn't go through her door, she climbed up to a window. Which confused me in so many ways, but it was better if I didn't ask questions.

I drove back home, and realized it was 11 already. Wow. As I parked my car I realized a car outside that I was familiar with. Which was my ex girlfriend. Oh no a big trouble for me.

I was scared to go in but, I was tired so I opened my door and as soon I came in Jane hung on to me and started to kiss me.

As usual I pushed her off and she looks at me with her devious eyes.

"Hi baby!"

"I'm not your baby no more." I told her a million times but still.

I wanted to kick her out because I was so tired. So as soon as she turned around I pushed her out of the door. She didn't get the memo and started jumping on me, but she doesn't turn me on anymore. She's a bit too crazy. I can't handle crazy, so when she was out of my apartment I slammed the door.

"You'll want me back!" She yelled for a good 5 minutes until she gave up and left. I don't even know how she got in, so I changed my door knob as soon as i heard her leave. Then I threw everything off and went to sleep because damn today was tiring.
