New York

Chapter I

People pass by back and forth, some alone, some are couples others are families maybe taking a trip out of town. Some saying goodbyes, some trying to escape the harsh city of New York. As Lisa strummed her guitar for the nth time an old couple danced to her music, she smiled to herself and continued playing until the old couple finished dancing and shared a meaningful kiss together. The woman went to the train and the husband waved goodbye sadness can be seen written all over his face. He looked at Lisa and gave her a small smile. The tall girl smiled back as the man dropped a dollar at her coat which is lying on the ground.

Lisa smiled to herself, she did not go to New York City to be stuck at a train station and appear like a well-dressed homeless woman playing a guitar for alms. She sighed and grabbed her phone there was a text and two voice messages from Bambam. She read the text

Bambam : The reception is at City Café. See you there, she's here.

And listened to the voicemails, 'Hey, Lis umm.. I hope you'll come she's asking about you.', 'Lisa where are you? I'll text you the where the reception would be, Hope to see you there.'

She looked at the time, it's 1am. She had missed the wedding she was supposed to attend to and might miss the chance to talk to the girl she loved the most. She was thinking deeply and contemplating about her life choices and decisions when she saw a woman from a distance. The woman is wearing a Chanel coat, her brown hair is curled, she looked Asian actually, probably Korean but she looks like she's lost and as the woman pass by her Lisa saw the woman's phone dropped and was immediately shattered but the woman doesn't seem to care. Lisa grabbed the phone and she heard the woman cursing. When she looked up, she saw that the woman was chasing the last train for today and obviously she did not make it.

"Hey Miss, you dropped your phone." Lisa said and gave the phone to the woman "But I don't think it will still work" she continued. The woman tried to repair her phone by tapping it but to no avail, it's still do not work. "Thanks" the woman thanked Lisa and Lisa nods.

Lisa grabbed her things she will probably just stay at a cheap hotel; she was grabbing her guitar when she heard the woman asked the maintenance at the station.

"Excuse me, is that the last train for today?" The man looked at her. "Yes."

"But can I use my ticket on the different station?" She asked again.

"Yes, but the stations are closed by now and will open at 5:30 am, so you need to wait out." The man answered quite rudely. The woman nodded and went out, Lisa felt sorry for the woman, but she too has issues she needs to handle.

When she got out of the station, she saw the woman outside. The woman was staring at her phone, about to cry. Lisa could not handle it anymore, so she asked the woman. She gripped her guitar case tightly and called her out.

"Hey, you're going to wait here?" She asked.

The woman nodded, "Yeah, they said they will close the station."

"But the station will open at 5am, It's 1:15am now." Lisa said trying to hide her disbelief.

"I know." The woman answered, giving her a warm smile.

"It's cold." Lisa said.

"My phone is broken, so I can't call nor reach out anyone." The woman answered raising her phone. Lisa nodded. "You can borrow mine." Lisa said. The woman smiled and walked closer to Lisa as Lisa grabbed her phone from her pocket, but when she opened it, nothing appeared but black. Lisa smiled shyly.

"Well, this is embarrassing. It's dead." The woman giggled and Lisa smiled at her beauty.

"Thank you but I guess I'll stick here for four hours."
