26.At The Diner

Adams p.o.v.

Me and Mitch head to a local diner to sit, rest, and think things over. It all happened so fast, we barely even know what's real and what's not. I order a bacon cheeseburger with a side of steak fries and Mitch orders chicken fingers and some waffle fries. There was a large list of other things we could've ordered, like outback-style steak and BBQ ribs ,but all our stomachs can handle right now is something simple ,yet filling.

We sit down in a booth, facing each other, just staring into outer space, wondering if they'll be okay. Especially Jerome. He looks beat up and barely alive. But all we can do now is hope. I start a simple conversation with Mitch and ask about his parents. He still watches somewhere else, but answers me like he's staring into my eyes.

"They-uh- they died when I was 10. Your uncle took care of me after that. That's how I knew your dad. But then when he came over...He would touch me. And he threatened me to not tell or he would kill your uncle.I got really scared. So I never told. Until I met Jerome when we were 13. And then he would touch Jerome while I was there..And I couldn't do anything either. Then after a while, I feel in love with Jerome. When I told your uncle, he completely understood. But when your dad found out, he just touched Jerome more. And more violently. It hurt so much, I couldn't take it. Then we ran away when we turned 17. It was the best decision I've ever made."

After he finished his story, the waitress came. She smiled and recited our orders perfectly. I raised my hand slightly when she said bacon cheeseburger and set m plate In front of me. Then she put Mitch's order before him. We thanked her and she walked off.

I smiled widely and put the hot cheeseburger into my mouth, slightly burning my tongue. I screeched and ow and put the cheeseburger back on my plate. Mitch stared laughing with chicken fingers in his mouth. I giggle at his weird grin and put a less hot fry into my mouth. It's so good, I haven't had food like this in so long, especially since I haven't even eat in the past couple days, worrying about Ty and Jerome.

Mitch smiles again and picks up a waffle fry and sets it into his mouth. It looks good, so I ask for one. He shakes his head like a five year old and covers his fries. I give a very fake frown and start eating my own fries, pretending to cry. Mitch laughs and throws a waffle fry into my plate. I cheer and pick it up, settling it into my mouth.

After I swallow the fry, I pick up my glass of Coke and put the straw into my mouth, and sip the cold, chemical bubbly-ness of the glass of beautiful ness.

Sorry, but I haven't had soda in a very long time.

After we're done, the waitress comes by with a check. I pick it up, as Mitch tries to pick it up as well. I shake my head and open it ,putting two twenties into the foldable case. I set it down and look at Mitch frowning.

"I could've got that. "Mitch states, looking at the check.

"But I'm the hero here, right?" I say sarcastically.

He giggles and I giggle with him, finishing my plate. All that's left is a couple fries and a small piece of cheeseburger. All that's left on Mitch's plate is a chicken finger and about 3 waffle fries. He's full, so he puts his leftovers on my plate, which I eat up because I'm still pretty hungry.

The waitress comes by to pick up the check, and I say keep the tip, cause why not, you know? Anyway, she thanks us and wishes us a good day, and whispers into my ear about how a good couple me and Mitch look. I blush and say we're not together, and she states; "You should be. "
