~The diner~

...~Chapter 2~...

Hello! Welcome back! (If you've even read this far..) So! I hope that you're enjoying my story so far. I spent restless nights on it... okay, that's not entirely true but it is almost 12 right now so it is kinda late... Anyway, I'll let y'all read cause I'm an annoying turtle so... okay Bye!

4:20 A.M.

Newt's POV

I woke up from a sudden jump, y'know when you're dreaming and you feel like you fell off a cliff so you wake up? Yeah, it was one of those. Though I didn't really wake up, since I was awake almost all night. 'How?' You might be wondering. No, it's not because i'm on my phone all night. I suffer from Insomnia. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. People with insomnia, ,such as me, have either trouble falling asleep, waking up to early, feeling tired upon waking, or waking up often during the night and having trouble going back to sleep. This was almost daily. I was lucky if I got at least 4 hours of sleep. (A/N I don't have Insomnia so I don't really know how well it works and stuff?)

I didn't know what to do since I woke up so early, so I started getting ready for a short jog. I used to do this in high school but stopped when I got my dumb limp.. But I needed to work out or I'll just become lazy. (A/N I need to work out too, Boo! But too late, I'm already lazy as Frick) I put on some work out shoes, a black T-shirt, and some shorts. I knew it was gonna be a little cold but I should be fine.

I walked out and boy, was it colder then I thought. I shivered as I walked down my steps. I started jogging down the street, still freezing. Did I go about.. 3 blocks? It honestly hurt because of my limp and took a lot longer than a normal person's short jog. When I got back, it was almost 5:00. I decided to get ready for work since I had to be there by 6:00, so I got into the shower.

After my 15 minute shower, I got out and started getting ready for work. I put on a light pink T-shirt, black skinny jeans, and my black sneakers. All that took about 10 minutes, as usual. I walked out of my room and grabbed an apple for the road, I would have my real breakfast at work.

I graduated from high school 2 years ago and I'm now taking online collage classes. See, I don't really get along well with other kids in high school, so that's why I take the online classes. I have a part-time job at a diner a few blocks away. It's kinda nice actually. I do have a girlfriend and we work there together. In fact, I think that's how we met. Anyway, I grabbed a bag with my lap top, note book, and sketch book in it so when I get my break or any other chance, I can work a bit on my homework and draw. After getting everything I needed, I grabbed my keys, and left.

After about.. 13 minutes, I made it to the front of the building. It was almost 6:10 when I got there. Dangit, I'm late.. again. Even if I would wake up early, I still would be a little late at least once a month. I walked up the stairs and walked in. The familiar smell of all kinds of sweet filled my senses. I loved the smell of this place. It was a cute, 50's themed diner. In fact, I think it  was made in the 50's. Sure, there was some things fixed up but if they weren't, this place wouldn't be open. It was mostly 50's themed.

It took at least a minute for my girlfriend, Teresa, to notice I was here. "Newt, Baby!" She yelled and came hugging me in a bone-crushing hug. I hugged back but said, "Babe, I can't breath.." She gasped and let go. "Sorry, I just haven't seen you all weekend so I missed you!" She said. After that, she smashed our lips together. I gladly kissed back. "Teresa! Newton! Stop making out and work! Newton, someone is waiting for you to take their order! He's over by the window!" Said our boss, Alby. (A/N I couldn't think of anyone else. LOL) We nodded and I kissed her cheek. "Love you." She whispered. "Me too," I said. As crazy as it is, I can't seem to bring myself to say "I love you, too" or something. I love her with all my heart, but when I try to say that I love her, it feels weird I guess.. I try not to think that I don't love her, cause I know that I do, It's just.. I don't know.
