Mocha Love

O N E

New York
Monday, 6:57pm

The moon is out and about, showing off a little dance for the night owls in the big city. The dark room, if looked at from the right angle, looks like a dark void of emptiness. Emptiness. The same emptiness that fills the heart of a man. A man named Issac Stewart Pier. Jingle jingle. The keys from just outside the door make a noise that is so simple, yet so distinct at the same time. You can hear the muffled sounds of two people talking and laughing. The doorknob turns as the door slowly opens. There is a hand on the doorknob gently opening the door from the outside. The once muffled voices are now distinct sounds from two women. Just then the lights turn on as the light switch makes a click noise.
Jane's P.O.V
I just turned on the lights in our tiny, but humble apartment. My roommate Tyler Brooke Anne has been my best friend since 6th grade. We're even Co-Workers, but she didn't want to go to college so me and her moved to New York where I got accepted into Brooklyn College with my Major being Journalism. Hence the reason I live in New York. Tyler is the best friend any person can have. She always has an opinion about everything and isn't afraid to speak her mind, that's why I love her, but hate her at the same time.
Tyler's P.O.V
After Jane walked in to the apartment she went straight to her room rambling about college. As I walk in I turn on the tv and hop on couch. I was watching my favorite show, The Walking Dead, I mean who doesn't like a good show with zombies and drama. Jane is pretty quiet in her room. Should I scare her? Hell yeah! I go to find some old Halloween blood, a plastic knife, and a white sheet. I cut three holes in the sheet for my head and hands. I put the fake blood all over the sheet and in the fake knife. After that I brushed my black, but frizzy, hair down and put blood on my face. This prank is going to be epic! I go to my room and scream so Jane thinks there's someone in the house. I hear her opening the door and asking if I was alright. Silence. She asks again. This is my time to strike. I jump out of my room and run towards her. As I'm doing that she screams and jumps back. Suddenly she stops. Silence yet again. Then she just laughs. Why is she laughing? This was an epic prank! "Why are you laughing, you buffoon!?" I say without thinking. Then she responds with "You forgot to hide your hair! Hahaha!" I reply with "Whatever! It was still a good prank!" I was a bit upset when Jane didn't get scared, but we do this prank war once every year so...
Janes P.O.V
What just happened? I was scared one moment and laughing the next. Whatever. I walk over to the fridge and serve myself a glass of green tea. I walk back to my room and just lay there on my bed thinking what I would be right now if I hadn't moved to New York. I bring out my headphones and turn on my phone. I go to Pandora and open my Panic! At the disco radio. As I listen to my music I get lost in my thoughts. Suddenly the thought of that guy I saw comes to mind. Why was I thinking about him? It's not like I like him or anything! Right? No! I need to stop coming up with these absurd thoughts. Think better thoughts. Oh! I know. I love mocha Coffee. As I say that I see Issacs face perfectly pictured in my mind and he's holding a, you guessed it, Mocha coffee. I need to forget him just like I need to forget my ex. My ex? Oh shoot! He knows where I live and he's a Psychopath. Suddenly the thick air of fear engulfed me. I feel like I can't breath. Like I can't move. Can't speak. I can do only nothing but sit there. Goosebumps forming on my skin. Think happy thoughts. Think happy. Happy thoughts. After a while I can finally breathe. "I really need to get help." I say to myself.
Tyler's P.O.V
She's quiet again. I won't bother her this time, but I should ask her about that cute guy at the cafe. Maybe I'll wait until she comes out for dinner. It's almost 8:00pm! Crap. My shows about to start! I grab the control and my blanket and get comfortable on the couch. I use the control to turn on the TV and go to the channel my show is on. Wow this episode is so exhilarating. Usually it would be Jane and Leone who would cuddle on the couch. Gross! The thought of that creep with my perfect friend, who's like a sister to me, really makes my blood boil.
   Tyler watches her show as Jane takes a nap whilst listening to her music. Some time goes by and it is now 8:31pm. Tyler is stoked for the next episode of her show which sadly doesn't air until tomorrow. Jane wakes up from her nap and turns off her music. Tyler yells "I'm gonna get some food! You want anything?" Jane replies with "I'll take a chicken salad with a Pumpkin Spice Latte! Extra Whipped Cream, too!" Tyler leaves to get the food. Jane gets her pj's ready and grabs a towel. She goes into the bathroom and takes a long, hard look at herself, and says "Get your act together! Forget your ex. Forget about dating. Focus. Focus on your job. Focus on college." After she says that she turns on the water and jumps in the shower. After 11 minutes, Tyler gets home and and knocks on Janes door.
Jane's P.O.V
Tyler just knocked on the door. Ugh. I'm not even done showering. Should I get out and get dressed? Yeah, I'm not a mean person. I finish up my shower and grab my towel as I get out. I open the door just a little bit and say "What was so important that my shower time had to be interrupted?" Tyler looks at me like she's holding in her laugh and says "I just wanted to tell you that food is here." I put on a mean face and close my door. I grab my pj's and get dressed. Sometimes Tyler can really be a pain the butt, but I still love her though. She's kinda like a sister to me...
