"You don't work tomorrow, Melissa." Dottie says walking up to me as I leave a table. "Why?" I ask confused. "You work everyday and overtime. You need a break dear." She rubs my shoulder. "Because I need the money to help me and my older brother." I sigh, explaining to her. "I understand that, I really do sweetheart, but you need more than a few hours of rest." She gives me a sad pout so I leave to go get the table's drinks. As I walked back to give the drinks to one of my tables, Dottie asked me to do one of her tables afterwards. "Can I start you off with a drink?" I ask the guy, who was looking at a newspaper. "Coke, please." His eyes don't leave the paper. I get the drink he wanted and place it in front of him. "Have you decided on something to eat?" I ask waiting for an answer. "What's the cheapest but actually good?" He still hasn't looked up. "I like to call it, the quick breakfast. It has two pieces of toast, bacon, and an egg."

He finally looks up from the paper eyeing me, and god was he fucking cute, "I'll have that then." I give him a smile with a head nod leaving to place his order. "Thank you dear, I'll take it back. I had a phone call." Dottie gives me a smile. "Of course, he ordered the quick breakfast." I laugh because she knew exactly what I meant. I go back to my tables continuing to work till it was my time to quite for the night. "Thank you, Dottie," The guy tells her as I walk up to her. "Only for you." She tells him. "I'm heading home, I promise to get lots of rest." I make her smile and see both of the guys looking at me. "You do that. Make it home safely dear." I give her a smile before heading out.

"Mel, are you coming with me or not?" My brother yells at me as I try to find a different shirt to wear. "Yes, give me one more second." I rush through the closet. "You don't have to look good. I'm leaving without you." I hear the door open then close making me throw on a shirt running to the door. "Now get in." He says in the car waiting for me so I don't take my time. "So this band?" I ask, as we drive down the road to his new potential band. "They said they wanted a loud, rude, aggressive, lead guitarist so they called me. Hints why we're going Mel." He says in his mono tone. "Well I get that. I meant like, are you excited?" I ask but he just turns up the music very loud. I let out a huff, shaking my head as we drove to wherever this band was. Sometime passes until we pull up parking next to the sidewalk making me look over at the shitty apartment. "This is the place." Mick says getting out of the car and I follow him. I look over at the apartments again and notice two young guys smoking outside their apartment. Suddenly I remember their faces from the diner causing me to shyly walk over to my brother hoping they don't remember my face.
