"really thanks joey for driving me to the airport." rochelle tells me when i sit in my car with the steering wheel being tightly gripped from my hands. i had not expected this was what thomas needed from before i could get my own things but either way i had felt like crying right there on the spot. yet that would not be possible when both of them had sat on the interior of my car.
"it's no problem rochelle. i mean it happens, right? both of your cars at the shop and it's not like there's uber so you wanted a car ride from the ex girlfriend who walked in naked when you two already had been canoodling." i get out after one breath of air and with a fake smile as the girl in the back seat consists of the same grin which i had ignored now when thomas puts the volume up of the radio. they sing along as i am sat in the traffic with the pounding headache of regret.

at the moment i had been the pawn shop where the box television was still sat in the window reading $550 dollars that i did not have on me. the large man with the grey beard had stare at me questionably as i still softly cried as my mascara has been smudged under my eyes when i gape back at the stranger. "listen $550 is a lot for that dinosaur and unfortunately i don't have that type of money. so i'm going to write down a number on the paper and i won't go any higher than that." i explain when taking the near by pen when i sniffle as i pass the paper over only for the man to pick it up and look it over.
"this is just a smiley face." he informs as i nod with a sad smile stitched to my lips as i take a breath of air.
"listen i'm a fifth grade teacher. do it for the kids and the fact that i don't get paid that much." i state causing him to scoff as he looks between me and the television.
"for the kids i'll do $540." he tells me causing me to cry a little more now as i stare at him with sadness.
"i can't go back home without a tv, sir and this is a pawnshop. i thought this was suppose to help people get what they need for little money and i'm not getting that help. it also doesn't help i'm sensitive because i just ended a long relationship and i just drove my ex boyfriend's girlfriend to the airport. so i don't know what i'm doing with my life emotionally or let's face, sexually. this is all just a lot." i ramble on as i sob a little when the man stares with the same straight face of not being entertained by my problems which only lets me realize i was getting no where with this individual.
"you know what i'm just going to go."

lana had walked in with me as i opened the door to the apartment when their eyes fell onto me. they already had confusion stitched to their faces as i frown when crossing my arms. "sorry i couldn't get the tv." i mumble as i go to sit on the edge of the couch as lana stomps.
