Chapter 4: Help Me

Chapter 4......... Help Me

After a long two hours of passing the time, it was now 11 and my shift was over. I went to my locker and I got changed. After I was finished I rushed back out to make sure that Dave was still sitting at the table. At first I didn't see him and my heart started to race. And that's when I seen his head pop into sight. I sighed with relief. I walked up to him, I wanted to talk but it had to be anywhere but here. People listen even when they shouldn't, especially here. I sat down at the table and before he could open his mouth I started talking

"Could we go somewhere else?" I asked

"Sure." He said

He got up and he walked out, I followed. We walked to a near by coffee shop not too far from where I worked, but far enough to not catch any attention from my coworkers. He opened the door for me and I smiled

"Thanks." I said

I sat down at a table, far from the window. I wanted to be careful at what I was doing, Scott has come after me before when I've worked a shift like this. He spy's on me sometimes. I was scared that he could come looking for me and if he finds me where with Dave after my shift instead of me coming home, he will hurt me. No doubt. No words were exchanged until he asked me a question

"Do you want anything?" He asked

"Yes a chocolate chip muffin and an ice coffee please."

"Sure." He said 

He nodded then turned and walked away. For the first time since I started dating Scott I realized that I still have feelings for Dave. I'm faithful in a relationship but I'm going to call it off with Scott. The abuse it's too much. But I need help. I can't do it on my own. Maybe Dave will help me. I really looked at Dave and honestly he wasn't bad looking in fact he was hot. He was close to Scott's height, he was slender but had a muscular build, he had husky blue eyes and dirty blonde hair

In high school Dave was the popular jock and I was the not so popular out cast. I didn't fit in with the preppy, slutty girls, I stood out. Something Dave went crazy for but our groups made us stay apart. Plus I never had time for anything besides family or school. We knew we liked each other and rumors went around. But that was high school. This is now. I sighed. While Dave was at the counter getting our food and drinks, I pulled out my phone. I quickly looked at myself to see if my makeup was gone. It was a bit faded but it still covered it

"Here." He said

He placed my ice coffee and muffin in front of me. I was so tied into my thoughts I didn't realize that he already ordered our things and got them. I held my phone then I tossed my hair around a bit, then I placed my phone down on the table like nothing was wrong

"Thanks." I said

"So what do I owe this lovely run in." He said as he laughed

"I wanted to catch up with you." I said

"Hmm seems fair." He said

"So how's your uh girlfriend?" I asked

I'm being awkward and intruding but I wanted to know. I wanted to know if he was single. But since I was not, why would it be so important

"We split up over a year ago." He said calm and collective

"Oh I'm sorry to hear." I said

"It's okay, I caught her cheating, when I called her out on it she told me some not so nice words." He said

"Wow I'm sorry to hear and I hope you find someone better." I said

"I did but." He paused

"But what?" I asked
