Heartbeat (Wooflan)

Twenty nine - coffee

Preston
Everyone later arrived and started talking. I didn't bother to say anything, I just let my mind ramble on to itself. My stomach grumbles loudly and my mind yearns for energy so one place sticks up in my mind.

Coffee

"Hey guys I'm gonna go get some Starbucks. Want anything?" No one says anything except Jerome who just wants a regular coffee.

"Want me to go with you?" Rob asks, but I shake my head. I needed time to think to myself.

I arrive at the farthest Starbucks I could think of and walk in. Only a few people stand in line so I do the same. I just get a coffee and sit at a booth in the corner next to the large window.

I lean my head on the window as rain starts to splatter on the clear window making small noises and turning to sky a light grey color.

"Excuse me? Is anyone sitting here?" I hear a female voice ask. I shake my head not bothering to turn my head to look at her. "Are you okay?" She asks concern lacing her tone.

I turn my head and look at her face. she has long brown curls and sterling blue eyes. Her soft pink lips stand out from her pale white skin. She's very pretty, it's just I'm not into girls.

"Um sure. Just a friend's in the hospital."
"Who is this friend?"
"His name is Vikk." not sure why I was telling her, I just instantly trusted her.
"Oh. My girlfriend is in the hospital too. Her name is Ashley." (I couldn't think of anything omg sorry! Ya it's that Ashley...)
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."

"You like this Vikk guy don't you?" She raises her eyebrow as she takes a sip of her coffee.
"I'm not sure actually."

"It's obvious you do. Your eyes lit up talking about him and when I said my girlfriend was in the hospital you clearly felt relived." My cheeks heat up slightly and she smiles.
"Oh. My name is Preston by the way." I hold my hand out across the table and she shakes it.
"Sara."

Rob
"What's taking Preston so long?" Mitch questions destroying the silence. We all shrug and I check my phone seeing no notifications. As if on cue Preston walks through the door handing Jerome his coffee cup.

"Thanks Pdog." Jerome slightly smiles immediately lighting up the mood of the room. Preston sits in his original seat leaning back and sighing. He seems distant and far away like something happened at the Starbucks.

We all exchange a glance except Preston and don't bother to ask. He probably wouldn't answer anyway. I lean my head on Lachlan's shoulder and he smiles. I wish stuff would just stop happening so Lachlan and I could just be alone. I wanted to be here when Vikk woke up but I also just wanted to cuddle alone with Lachlan.

A/N
Sara will probably make a reappearance or two but nothing will happen between her and Preston and I had no idea who to make her girlfriend I'm sorry •-•
