Start from the beginning
                                        

It wasn't a full on sob, it was more of a shocked face with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"i feel that hE DESERVED BETTER" 

"It's fucking sad isn't it!" i said pointing at the tv gesturing to the movie.

"I NOW KNOW THAT"

"Well, I'm gonna fix a cup of mac and cheese, you want one?"

"Yes of course i do."

"Got it"

As i got up to fix the cups of macaroni, i felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I decided to go ahead and fix one up for the microwave before answering.

Once i got the water in it and got it started in the microwave, i pulled out my phone to check the message. It was from James

-chat log ayay-

James M: hey! sorry i didn't answer, i left my phone in the break room. 

T-Jeff: no worries man, I'm not rushing you to message back 

James M: good, bc i was worried that you were irritated or mad that i hadn't answered

T-Jeff: nah you're good, hows your shift goin?

James M: slow. as. fuck. nobody has come besides you, the old lady that got irritated at us, and some french guy and his boyfriend. not complaining about you or the couple. i mean, you're cute as heck, and the couple was so sweet like honestly? goals. if I'm honest, i thought the french guy was you. but when he came up and started talking french, i figured maybe not.

T-Jeff: funny, the guy behind the counter of The Late Night Store thought i was his friend. Lafayette was his name i think

James M: could be the same guy, his boyfriend was calling him Laf.

T-Jeff: dang, small world dude.
