On The Low Again

Chapter 6

Marcel POV

I woke up to someone calling my phone. I looked at the caller ID and it read Jordan.

Phone Conversation:

Marcel: What?

Jordan: Well damn, you must of woke up but I was trying to call to tell you I would be in ATL to visit.

I jump up out my bed with excitement.

Marcel: Really?

Jordan: Yeah, I'll be there in a couple days.

Marcel: Alright can wait to link up.

Jordan: Right back at ya, but gotta go. I'm trying to finish cleaning my room.

Marcel: Alright.

I hang up and rub the cold out my eyes. I look at the time and burst out my bed. I overslept and had multiple messages from Jeremy. I grabbed the clothes off my drawer and put them on. I rushed to the bathroom and quickly did my personal hygiene. As I finished, my phone lit up and it was a text from Jeremy.

Text:

Jeremy: I'm here, just checking to see if I haven't blown off :(

I read the text and immediately grabbed my phone and wallet. I rush down the stairs and head out the door. I decided to take my moms car since she had a date tonight and she went with him. I got in the car, and before I could crank it up, I noticed he hasn't told me the address. I check my phone and he sent a text saying "Meet at Woodfire Grill." I put in the name in the GPS and head off. I hope he's not to mad at me.

Jeremy POV

I sat in the restaraunt thinking he stood me up. I was thinking about leaving until I seen these nice looking girl walk in. We both made eye contact and she started to lick her lips. I was about to go talk to her until I seen Marcel barg through the doors. I quickly adjust myself as he comes to the table.

"Hey Jeremy, sorry I came so late, I had overslept."

"It's cool."

After I said that, a waitress came to the table.

"Hi, I'm Jasmine, and I'll be your waitress for this evening."

"I'll have a Sprite."

"Alright, how about you s-"

She stopped and looked at Marcel. If I wasn't crazy, she started to get nervous. I decided to speak up since she seemed out of it.

"Um hello?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Your friend just looks for familiar, my apologies."

We both gave her a "Are you crazy" stare. She finally asked him and he asked for a Sprite as well. She wrote it down and left.

"What was all that about?"

"I don't know. She probably was mistakening me for someone else."

"Probably."

I looked up and a new waitress came to the table with our drinks. I'm guessing the other girl was too embarrassed about to come back.

"Hi, I'm Lily and I'll be your waitress for this evening. We had some issues with the other employee." She smiled.

I nodded and she put down the drinks.

"Are you guys ready to order?"

"Yeah, can I have the House Burger special?"

"Alright, and for you sir?"

"Could I just get the Chicken Finger Plate?"

"Alright, you're order will be up in a sec." , she smiled and walked off.

I turned to a very nervous Marcel biting his finger nails.

"Dude are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little under the weather."

"Okay, well how was your day?"

"It was okay, how about yours?"

"It was iight. Had a few issues here and there."

"Oh, like what?" He says with a raised eyebrow.

"It was like - none of your business." I respond.

"Oh." He replied nonchalantly.

We stare at each other for a good minute until the waitress came back with our food.

"Here you go. Enjoy." She smiled once more and left.

We both began eating in silence. I was about halfway finished until I look over at Marcel, who seemed to look worse than before.

"Marcel, are you okay?"

"I-i-"

Before he could say anything else, he passed out on the floor. I run over to him calling for help. One of the waitress dialed 911 and a few minutes later the paramedics arrived. They lifted him on the stretcher and sped off. I looked at the ambulance driving off the thinking what just happened.

Crazy chapter, right?

Why do you think the waitress acted funny around Marcel?

What do you think happen to him?
