'' hey jake waken up man '' i herd kyle almost cry at me and if your wondering kyle is a Friend of mine ive known him ever since my parents died `` nimbus jake wake up man its clip to go '' i slowly opend my eyes realising the social class room was empty apart from me and kyle i looked to my left seeing kyle sitting on the desk next to me `` waky waky bro you must of slept through the hole out family whats a matter havent you had a lot sleep lately you look exausted '' kyle said putting his hand on my shoulder `` well atleast i dont look as bad as you '' i replied with a smirk `` haha yeah you wish bro anyway are you comming to my political party tonight you have to man theres gon na be hot girls there and i mean hot like youve never seen and you look like you need to relax up seems like you havent slept in a year '' kyle said standing up
`` it feels like it and i cant i have to process tonight so im form of tighed up at the instant `` i replied realising how tardily it must of been so i quickly reached in my pouch and pulled out my phone seeing thats i had only 15 minutes to get to work before i was late twice in a row `` dam look i have to go '' i said standing up and grabing my backpack before swinging it over my left shoulder and darting for the doorway but just as i reached it mrs clements walked in `` mr Nathan Hale i need a word with you right now '' she said sitting at her desk `` mrs clements cant this hold im running late for body of work '' i said turning around `` this will only conduct a moment strike a hind end mr hale mr fatal could you please give while i have a chat with jake please '' she asked kyle nodded and then headed for the door `` hey ill give you a call later ok '' kyle wisperd as he walked out i walked over to the forepart of her desk and took a seat hoping this would be over soon `` mr hale its been brought to my attension that your studdys have been taking a turn for the worst your hardly ever here and when you do depict up you sit at the spine of the form either talking with your ally or falling asleep on your desk so what do you have to say for your self '' she said with a pissed off whole step `` look i have to go to work out every Night just to make last meet and on top of that i have to conduct charge of my kid babe because she has no one els just me and even after working all night i still manage to drag myself out of bed and come here for 8am just like anyone els so i think i deserve a trivial slack dont you '' just as i said that she stood up and her font turned red with anger `` ITS NOT good enough mr hale you better clean up up or your going to miscarry this category and this yap terminus and thats a place where you dont want to be leaving here with zero to demonstrate for it '' i looked up and just gave her a smug smiling
`` is that all '' i replied but before she could do i grabed my knapsack off the floor and sprinted out of the door into the hall way i ran as libertine as i could but i was so exausted from working all night and lets just say college wasnt exactly a blank space that could get my mind off of everything it just seemed to get defective every week but all i could recollect of was that i couldent be late again i had to be on time because marcus would kill me i must of been lost in thought because before i new it i was falling monotonic on my binding in a fog wondering what the hell on earth just happend `` hey watch where your going what are you blind or something '' i herd a voice scream at me i tried to look up but i couldednt see at first i was so tierd my centre were fuzzy `` what are you deff as well '' i herd the girlish articulation say again i mannaged to finally get my eye sight back i looked up and noticed a womanly figure standing above me with blond haire but my eyes were so blured i couldent see her that well `` umm aureole what am i talking to myself or something '' she screached at me `` sorry i didnt realise where i was going '' i said standing up `` what are you some kind of perv or something just stay away from me ok '' she continued to screach at me `` anyone ever differentiate you how charming you '' i replied sarcasticly but she must of be off balance from the fall because she fell against one of the lockers but i jumped forward and grabed her before she could do any life-threatening damage but she pushed me away `` did i say i needed your service perv no just stay away from me is that sort out enough for you '' she stated turning around and walking away `` Nice to meet you to '' i mutterd under my breath but i was quickly snaped off my train off thought when my telephone set started to ring i quckly answered it not looking at the number `` jake its marcus where are you we expected you here 5 minutes ago hurry up or your working the of late shift on the bar '' i quickly put my phone down and ran down the corridor to the primary entrence i ran as immobile as i could across the briny road almost getting knocked down by a car and if that wasnt bad enough it started raining getting me drenched i ran down every short cut i could i finally arrived at the resturant so i decided to go through the punt hoping no one would detect me sneaking in so late i opend the threshold to the employe locker elbow room soaking wet trying to catch my breather i looked around not noticing anyone i slid my backpack off getting my study clothes out but just as i did i looked up seeing marcus leaning against the entrance to the kitchen `` umm is it raining by any prospect buddy '' he said with a slight chuckle `` just a few exhibitor around nothing to bad '' i jokingly replied trying desperatly to catch my breath `` are you feeling ok jake you dont look so good buddy ''
all i could do was laugh as i collapsed on the work terrace behind me `` yeah never better just have to catch my breath '' marcus walked over to me and sat down on the bench near the employes lockers `` jake honestly are you ok if you need some sentence off all you have to do is ask you look like you could use a fault '' marcus had a concerned look on his face what ide never seen before `` you know your not the first-class honours degree someone to ask me that '' i said smirking at him `` but i cant i need the money have to preserve up payments on the house or they will throw away me and amy out on the street i wish i could take a break but i jargon '' i sat up on the work bench putting my workplace clothes on `` if your trusted brother just dont work your self to death '' marcus said laughing before getting up and walking to the threshold `` oh and jake i was wondering we have a new girl starting claire do you think you could show her the ropes its her first of all day and i thought process who beneficial than you '' i paused confused for a second marcus always tells me about new employes oh well it wasnt like i could say no `` uh yeah surely thing '' replied still unsure `` with child you have 2 moment to get fix and then ill see you in the kicthen '' marcus said before turning around and walking into the resturant i quickly got changed puting my bag and my jacket into my locker and closing it i laughed to myself i mean could this day get any worse but i surmise i had to deal out with it but as i started to leave the storage locker elbow room my phone started to ring again i quickly pulled my phone from my pocket seeing it was amy i answered it as fast as i could `` hey jake are you going to be plate tonight you promised me you would be where are you '' i felt worse than id ever felt before i totaly forgot that i promised amy i would be home today `` dam regretful sis i have oeuvre i spaced it completely i '' but before i could say another word the line started to break up and eventally died out so i put my phone in my pockect already as pissed off as i could be with how the day is turning out.
i walked into the kitchen slowy opening the threshold looking around to see if anyone was in there but to my surpise it was almost as if it was abandand i walked over to the sink turning the tap on looking at how many dish aerial i would have to do by myself `` yo jake my boy have you seen the new chick were working with '' i turned around seeing joe inclination on the virtually side counter joe was a cool guy he was the first person i worked with when i started at the resturant he seemed a bit entire of himself but he was a nice enough guy `` what the new girl claire yeah marcus said something about that but i havent seen her yet '' joe just gave me an unsettling smile `` desire dude your in for a delicacy a big kickshaw '' i just turned around and started loading the sink with plates
'' jake i want you to meet claire this is who i was talking about '' i almost droped a plate when i saw her she had the feeling that could be adrift away a hollow USA with one look she had dark contraband shoulder length haire dark brown hazzel eyes and a figure of an hour deoxyephedrine sexy wasnt the word `` um jake '' marcus said snapping me out of my trans `` oh uh hey '' i said stuttering tryint to put my word of honor together witch only made her giggle at me `` well claire this is jake hes going to show you around and depict you where everything you need is joe come with me buddy i need your help at the mesa and jake you and claire are on bag till half 8 '' marcus and joe walked out leaving the room totaly silent i turned around and kept loading the cesspit not sure enough what to say then claire walked passed and threw a dish textile at me `` so do you need to wash out or dry '' she said with a giggle `` ill wash you dry '' replied laughing still a little unsure what to say `` so are you new around here then '' i asked rubbing my burning heart
'' moved a workweek ago with my dad from Ohio and well here i am '' she said giggling
'' but is it always this still around here '' i turned around and walked over to the sterio on the shelf turning it on and walking back towards the sump just as an old ac/dc song started to play on the sterio better i replied grabbing a collection plate and cleaning it off
'' i love ac/dc so speculation im going to have to say yes '' claire said playfully nudging my arm
'' well some multiplication you just have to have sex the classic '' i said nudging her spinal column beldame only mad her giggle more at me but there was something about her not just how baffle she looks it was like i couldent arrest looking at her eyes but i had to sustain snapping myself back to reality before she noticed anything was up `` uh so what college have you applied to around here '' i said handing a dental plate to her `` ive got into one Cicily Isabel Fairfield brooke do you make out it ''
'' haha know it thats the exact college i go to ''
'' to be fair im a bit nervouse about going i dont really lie with anyone around here '' she said in a worried representative `` you know me so dont be so vex '' i replied and she gave me a the shortened smiling i think ive ever seen we carried on talking and time flew by untill it was almost 8.30 just as we were almost done she walked over stacking the plates and bowls away while the sterio blaired out loude i must not of been paying as very much attension as i opinion because the future moment i had a sharp cutting annoyance across the parm of my paw i forced my hand out of the pee like a instinctive reflex `` arghh dam '' claire ran over to see what was wrong and all i could see was my parm split undetermined must of been from one of the knives still in the sink `` oh my god come here '' i herd claire say i turned around and she wraped my manus in a wet mantrap cloth to stop the hemorrhage she looked like she was in such a panic `` stay here im going to go get marcus she stated running out the room access but why did she care so very much i mean its not like she knew me that well but before i could cogitate more into it marcus came running in with a first aid kit in his script and claire following behind `` let me see your hand crony he said opening the initiative aid box on the side of meat he took off the dish cloth off and chucked it in the trash `` ouch chum i think you might need some stitches ''
'' ill be fine dont worry it will heal up soon enough ''
'' well if your insisting atleast let me dress it and cleanse it up just to be on the dependable slope '' marcus started dressing my paw i had to grit my teeth trying not to grunt with the botheration of it `` jake listen i want you to adopt the day off tomorrow and remain up you cant carry on like this take friday off and come back serious saterday i dont like what you do just pick out it slowly buddy spend some clip with amy '' he said with that Sami worry expression on his case i knew i couldent argue with him after all hes done for me `` well amy has been on my back about working belated i suppose i could take aim one day off ''
'' that a boy now both of you can get off early ok and claire dear starting time day honey '' marcus said looking over at claire who was sitting on the tabulator with the Sami worried facial expression `` boss i could use a bridge player in here '' joe said poking his head word back around the threshold `` ill see you both saterday ok and jake rest period ok chum '' i nodded my head then he walked out `` are you feeling any better '' claire said walking over to me slowly `` ill servive '' i said smilling at her
'' good i wouldent want to have to ache you '' claire said as we both walked out the room access and turned left to the locker way together i opened my locker grabbing my haversack and putting my jacket on then feeling a punch in my arm i turned my head seeing claire with the same smile on her case `` do you hit everyone you just met '' i said trying not to smirk `` only the unity i really like '' she replied shooting me a jiffy and walking out the exit door holding the doorway exposed for me `` so you comming or staying the night '' she said with a cheecky chuckle i walked out closing the door behind me we walked down from the back of the car park to the incline of the street `` hey jake do you mind waiting with me until my dad picks me up '' even though i felt like i couldent stall anymore it wasnt like i could say no and exit her waiting on the street alone `` uh yeah sure '' i replied looking up and for some understanding the sky was lit up with stars shining than common claire must of noticed me looking up because she seemed to get her own center lost in the wiz `` there beautiful arnt they i never dreamed that in the city they could be so brightly ''
'' there not normaly this shining '' i noticed that claire was shivering so i took my jacket off and handed it to her `` here convey this your freeze ''
'' no i couldent take that off you will get brainsick you keep it you need it more than me ''
i wasnt asking take '' i took a step towards her and wrapped it over her shoulders `` thanks jake '' she said teeth almost chattering trying to smile `` so what family do you have in here in the urban center ''
'' uhh no one its just me and my babe no parents anymore just us thats why im working here to make sure she has some one she can bank on its not pure but id do anything to try and return her a normal life story '' for some ground claire paused like she was stuck in Harlan Fisk Stone `` oh im sorry i shouldent of asked '' but before we could carry on a car pulled up on the former side of the street `` thats my mount thanks for waiting with me here take your jacket crown ''
'' no keep it you can give it back to me at college tomorrow '' she didnt say anything just smiled kissed me on the cheeck and ran over to her dada car and in a insistent drove off so here i was freezing and walking home with no ride and no jacket and to make affair worse with every step i took i felt like i couldent take another i looked up at the stars as i walked down the street but the dark wasnt like any early there were hardly any auto on the route no people from what i could see no signaling of spirit at all but the thing that was really out of shoes was the star topology untill something caught my eye it was like a red blaze `` what the pit '' was all i could maunder under my breath as i crossed the road but my middle were fixed on the red glare it seemed to get exculpated and snug but as i looked down the street lights started to flicker on and off untill it was almost pitch sinister i tried to use the luminosity on my headphone but when i looked it was completly dead whats going it just kept going over and over in my head maybe it was a power cut but if it was how would that explain my sound it was fully charged half an hour ago i looked back up at the red glare maybe it was connected some how but i just shrugged it off trying to convince my self it was my tierd mind trying to trick me my hand felt like it was burning up but i just couldent stop following the red blaze with my eyes even though every part of my body screamed for sopor i could see it getting closer untill i lost it in the green i just had to see what it was i crossed the street to the ballpark i put my back pack on and jumped over the gate bairly landing on my metrical unit i walked on the foot route untill i saw something ahead of me i walked faster and when i stoped i saw a metore tilt in the essence of the understructure bath the ground was destroyed beneath the rock 'n' roll and around it the rock seemed to almost glow red hot i knew i had to go but i just couldent i walked close to it leaning down trying to twine my head around what exactly the this affair is but i didnt have clock time to think in a blink i was being shot threw the hair flying backwards with rock and concrete in my brass the rock exploded all i could find was my maw dead body burning up i landing 10 feet away my mind was in over drive what the fuck was going on i looked down and i almost freaked i saw black tar over me as hot as oil burn into me i shouted the hollow park down trying to get it off me when i looked down again it was gone but the burning still filled my body with pain in the ass i managed to crawl to my substructure and run as fast as i could stake to the logic gate i held the top of it trying to pluck myself up i managed to make believe it over but bairly i started to walk home and the streets were still stagnant silent but the pain in the neck in my stomach was almost to very much i lent back against a lit street get down resting my head and body against it but when i did it started to flicker from brightly to dark then zilch i was to freaked out to stay around i ran sprinting down every way of life way i could till i finally got to my front door i searched my jeans trying to find my headstone after a minute of looking i was able to open the door but my head the pain in the ass took over i could sense myself blacking out and the live on thing i could remember was my body hitting the story and passing out .
