Becoming Me

Chapter ten

Cory's POV

I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a stripped shirt and black pants. I sighed. "This is either going to go great, or shitty. Either way nothing will be the same." I said to myself. I took my keys of off the counter and took my suitcase from the door. The last thing i did was put a note on the kitchen counter. I took one last look around the apartment. It had about 15 people crammed in two dirty rooms with piles of drugs everywhere. I picked up my suitcase and walked out the door.

I arrived at the Olive Garden and sat at a table for two, waiting for Lea to arrive.

Lea's POV

I looked in the mirror, i was wearing a white sweater, a maroon skater skirt, a yellow beanie, with high white knee socks and black shoes. I walked in the bathroom and took my pill, i felt it slide down my throat and looked in the mirror. I sighed. "You can do this Lea, just talk to him as a friend, you cant be with him, his career will get me killed." I said to myself. I grabbed my phone and purse from my room and shut down the apartment and walked out of the door. I walked out the building and the warm sun hit my face, i whistled for a cab and one pulled to the curb. "Olive Garden please." I said to the driver, he nodded his head and began to drive.

When we arrived i payed the driver $22 and walked inside to the Olive Garden. "Welcome to the Olive Garden, how many?" A hostess said. "I'm meeting someone, a guy, tall with dark hair." She nodded her head as i described him to her. "Of course, right this way." She said, i followed her to a table in the back where i saw a guy wearing stripes and playing on his phone. I took a seat and he looked up in my eyes. "Your waitor will be right out."The hostess said handing us both a menu. She walked away and i watched her, i didnt want to make eye contact with Cory, but i knew he was staring at me. "You look lovely Lea." Cory said. "Thank you." I still didnt look at him, i put my head down so i was looking at my hands.

"I wanted to talk to you Lea, i left Rickey and the job, watching you see everything that happened made me realize i cant let myself live like that, and my mom always told me if i love someone, i should always impress them. I dont want to live without you Lea, you have made me feel something that i have never felt before. You have changed me in a way i cant explain and i would give up everything for you, and thats what i plan to do."

When Cory was finished i had a tear falling from my left eye. "Hi i am your waitor Stan can i take your order?" He said. "I will have a water and the chicken alfredo." I said. "I will have a water and a ceasar salad please." Cory said. Stan nodded as he wrote down our order. "Can i get you anything miss?" Stan asked. "No thanks Stan." I wiped the tear from my eye and smiled up to him, he smiled back with his very soft sweet smile and left to put our order in.

"Cory, i have given this some thought and i love you too." He got a small smile on his face. "But i cant do it, i know you gave it up and thats great, but for now i think you need to take care of yourself before we become anything again. For now we just need to be friends." I poured my feelings out to Cory.

"I cant just be your friend Lea, and besides, i dont have any place to stay, for now im in my car, and i dont even have a job. I understand what you mean by finding myself but i know i am where ever you are."
