Don't Fall For Me

Chapter One

=============

After watching three movies continuously I looked up at the wall clock to see it was nearly 6pm and my shift at the diner starts at 7pm.

"Shit, I gotta Sasha" I jump up from the couch, nearly spilling the left offer hot chocolate.

"I'll drive you" She says, but I object telling her I need some fresh air anyway. Although there is no fresh air here. Seriously this town should be called Depressing Bay or Dark Bay, I would call this town anything but Spring.

"Are you sure?" She asks as I grab my jacket off the coat rack.

"I'm sure, you can pick me up though, my shift ends at midnight don't be late" I point my finger in a warning manner and she chuckles.

"Don't worry I won't" She reassures me as I walk out the front door.

I'm immediately greeted with a cold breeze much colder than it was earlier in the day. Hey, at least it's not raining.

The diner was a fifteen minute walk from Sasha's house, and from mine it was about ten minutes.

I put my hand on the locket that Caleb once gave to me. It was a heart shaped locket that had a photo of me and him in it. I would never take it off, even when I went in the shower. I couldn't, that's like the only thing I have left of him and if I was to get rid of it, I'd kill myself.

As I turned onto Maylen Lane, the little diner came into view. I enjoyed working there, the manager, Hilary is like the big sister I never had. She's kind and was generous enough to offer me a job when she met me. It's been a year since I've worked here and honestly I can't picture my life without working here anymore.

The chef Maurice is Hilary's father, he's like a second dad to me, I love working for them, there so friendly and understanding. They both know about the accident that happened, and they both comforted me like they've known me their whole lives.

Upon entering the diner, I notice it's extremely busy. Lucky I'm early so I decided to help out.

"Boy am I glad to see you" Hilary smiled once I walked into the kitchen.

"It's chaos out there"

"Lucky I came early then" I smirked before putting on my apron and walking back outside ready to take orders.

At around 11pm it finally died down and I could go on my break. My break is me having a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Hilary and her father were in the kitchen cleaning up, so I went out the back which leads to an empty alleyway.

I lit up my cigarette and inhaled deeply letting the nicotine sink in, then I exhaled releasing the smoke from my mouth. I know as a seventeen year old girl I shouldn't be smoking, but I'm addicted and I just can't seem to stop, I wish I could.

As I'm sipping my hot coffee I faintly heard two people arguing. It sounded like it's coming from around the corner. I peered my head to where the voices were coming from and I saw two guys standing there ready to fight. Oh god this can't be good!

One of the guys punched the other guy causing him to stumble backwards landing on the hard concrete floor. He kept kicking him and I knew I had to stop him.

Luckily I always carry pepper spray with me so I run up behind me quietly, hoping the other guy who clearly could see me wouldn't give me away.

"Hey fucker!" I tapped him on the shoulder making him turn to face me. Before he could say or do anything, I sprayed the pepper spray in his eyes.

He fell backwards rubbing his eyes and screaming in agony. I quickly shouted for Maurice to come outside and surly after a few seconds he appeared behind me with Hillary by his side.
