Ember walks back into her kitchen, she looks for some ice cream but she realizes she doesn't have any.
She sighs.
She decides to just go into her room and blast her music.
The 'bleach' album by Nirvana comes on and Ember smiles slightly to herself.
Her phone buzzes and she reaches for it.
It's a text from her friend.
Leah: Hey! Can you help me?
Ember sighs.
Ember: yeah
Leah: Cool. Which guy is cuter?
Ember growls are her friend inserts a picture of two guys. This is really what her friend needs help with?
Ember types a quick reply.
Her phone buzzes again and she growls.
She picks it up but realizes it's not a text from her friend, it's a text from Jim.
Jim: check your door :)
Ember scrunches her brows together and gets up.
She walks to the front door of her apartment and opens it slowly.
She looks down and notices a bucket of ice cream.
She can't help but smile from ear to ear.
She picks it up and carries it inside.
After locking the door she sets the bucket down on the counter.
She peels a note off of it.
I hope you feel better.
-Jim
Ember smiles. He's really sweet.
Ember walks into her bathroom and looks at her face.
Her eyes have cleared up and they are no longer as red.
She sighs.
She washes her face and then puts on some makeup.
She goes into her room and quickly changes.
She grabs some shoes and then grabs out two bowls, one for her and one for Jim.
She grabs an ice cream scooper and puts three scoops into each bowl.
She grabs some chocolate sauce and sprinkles out of her fridge and pantry and puts them in a small bag.
She puts the ice cream away and then puts a spoon in each bowl.
Ember puts some shoes on and then heads out the door and down to Jim's place.
She stares at the door for a moment before she gets the courage to knock.
After a minute the door opens and Jim stares down at her.
"Hi," he smiles.
"Hi," she whispers.
"Thank you for the ice cream. I brought you some," Ember whispers.
Her voices is strained and brittle but she tries to ignore that.
Jim nods and smiles at her.
He steps aside so that she can some in.
Jim closes the door after her which makes her a little nervous.
She looks around his apartment. It looks cozy.
"Here," Jim says as he grabs the bowls from Embers hands.
