It's honestly hard not having someone to talk to. Someone to help take the burden of my problems off of my shoulder.

Maybe I should give Quinn a chance. So far she's shown nothing but kindness toward me. But again, being alone is my life's work. Loneliness always seems to find me.

I eat the rest of my Poptart while sitting on my kitchen counter, contemplating the life I was given. I have to be at work in 20 minutes so I hop off of the counter and walk towards the bathroom.

I look in the mirror and analyze my features. I'm not an ugly person yet the lack of food and sleep can really do wonders for your skin and shape.

I brush my teeth and hair and do my makeup. Nothing crazy just a little foundation to cover my dark circles, lip gloss, and mascara.

When I'm finished I strip my clothes pulling on my waitress outfit topped off with my usual trench coat. I grab my bag and house key and make my way to the club.

About 8 minutes later I walk to the employee door, Knocking a few times and being let in by Gibby as usual.

"Hey, cupcake. How are you today?" He asks me as I pull myself into the building. Me and Gibby have a routine you could say. Every time I come in he asks how I am and then tells me to make sure I watch out for creeps and to call him if needed.

"I'm fine, how are you?" I return the question and he just shrugs."Eh, as good as I can be." I nod and begin to walk away.

"Astoria make sure yo-"

"Stay away from creeps, I know. I will." I say before he could finish his sentence since I already know what he was going to say anyways.

After I put my coat and bag in my locker I walk to the bar where Quinn is talking to someone. Once she spots me she smiles widely and waves me over.

I sigh but still go. Once I'm in her reach she pulls me and gestures toward the man sitting at the bar in front of us."Tori this is my husband, Chris. Chris this is my friend Astoria." He sticks his hand out with a warm smile on his face.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you." I just awkwardly smile and shake his hand to not be rude. I'm sorry but I have social anxiety and this is much more social interaction than I'd like.

"Soo, how's the mystery guy you were talking to a few days ago?" Quinn giggles and I flush at the thought of him."He's just a random customer, I don't even k-know his name." I mumble, more so to convince myself that he's just a random person.

She doesn't seem to believe me by the look on her face."Mhm, we'll see if he's so random soon enough." She grins at me. What does she mean? Did he say something to her?

"Hey, babe I gotta go but I'll see you at home okay?" Chris tells Quinn and she leans in and they kiss. Way to make me feel like a third wheel. I look down at my feet and wait for them to finish.
