What people don't know

Chapter 14

When they finally ask for the check I bring it, part of my payment exists from tips, I look at what they left for me and it's 1 dollar. Are they fucking kidding me, I look at them. They're standing outside by their cars, I am very mad right now. I did everything they wanted! They have enough money and I don't! why can't they just be nice to me. I just shake my head and I walk back to the bar, "Jonah can you close the restaurant?" I ask and Jonah nods. I walk to the little room where I can change, I'm happy I brought my own clothes with me so I could change. I change into some sport shorts and a grey sweater. I pull my hair out of the ponytail and I massage my head. I look into the mirror and I can see that I have red cheeks cause of the heat. I open the door and I hear Jonah yelling me, "Elle can you come!" he yells and I wonder why. I enter the restaurant and I see the guy with bleached hair standing there, "I'll leave you two to it" Jonah says and I frown. "What are you doing here?" I ask and I definitely didn't forget about the check. "I just wanted to give you the tip we didn't give" he says and I frown, "Why now? You're friends are gone right?" I say and he awkwardly smiles, I gotta admit he's hot but that doesn't make it right to act like a douche bag when your friends are around and when they're gone you act all nice. "yeah well idk, but I can also keep the tip" my proud says that I should let him keep the check, but I know that I need the money. "I'll take it" I say when I walk up to him, he hands me some dollars which are folded. I can't really see how much but I'll see that later. "Jonah I'm gonna go!" I yell, "Yeah me too! See you tomorrow morning!" he yells. "Well we're closed so you can go home now" I say while I walk to the door, I look outside wow how did the weather change so quick. It's pouring rain. "yeah I know" he says and he exits the restaurant, I turn off the lights and I also step outside. My grey sweater immediately gets soaked. I run to my car, I throw my little back pack inside and I try to start my car. Huh? It's not working. I try it again and again. I see that the guy with the bleached hair looks at me, "What?" I yell while I get out of my car, "They sabotaged your car..." he says, "They did what?!" I yell and I feel the anger creeping up, "Those little assholes" I say and I grab my little back pack out of my car. I pull the hood of my sweater over my head and I start walking. It's a 25 minute drive so I have to walk for like an hour. I hear a car driving behind me, I look over my shoulder and I see a jeep approaching me, I'm guessing that that isn't Jonah's. The window goes down, "Let me give you a ride" The guy with the bleached hair says, "I don't even know you, what if you rape me or something" I say and he laughs. "Oh believe me I wouldn't dare" he says. I pull my hood further over my head and I start to walk faster. The jeep pulls up and he's driving next to me again, the guy with the bleached hair starts to talk again. "Come on Elle" he says, huh how does he know my name? "How do you know my name?" I ask and I stop walking. "That guy called you so yeah" he says, ohh yeah Jonah called me. "Well just go home and mind your own business" I say and I start walking again. "Elle! It's gonna storm within 10 minutes, that's what happens here so please just get into the car!" the guy with bleached hair yells. "I'll survive" I say and I walk faster and faster. The jeep pulls up again and stops a few meters in front of me, I see a door opening and the guy gets out of his car. "You won't Elle believe me, just get into my car. See this as an apology for my friends." I sigh, I really don't wanna walk but I also don't want to get in that car. "What's your name?" I ask and I look up into his ocean blue eyes. "Daniel" he says and I nod, "Okey I'll come" I say when I hear thunder coming. He smiles and we both walk to his car, I am literally soaked till my underwear and I'm freezing.

We get into the car and he turns on the heat. I just look outside, "so where do you live?" he asks and I look at his face, he has a very strong and beautiful jawline. "Where you guys saw me" I say and I see that he's a bit shocked. "You live there? That's an awful neighborhood" "Yeah well that's where I live, if you're gonna judge me I'm out of this car" he puts his arms in the air. "I'm not judging!" he says and I just pull the hood from my sweater off my head. I'm still freezing even though the heat is on. He starts to drive away and I just look at the rain at the window.
