Well, I'll let you read. Oh, lastly if you can guess who is in the gray hoodie frist you'll get a special email if you're logged in. I'm doing this every chapter.
Thorne got out of his car and went inside a small, comfort food restaurant. Comfort food was exactly what he needed. Inside there were not very many customers, since it was 10 o'clock on a Wednesday night.
He went to the front of the restaurant and ordered a small dish of food from a blonde, short, girl. He then sat down at a table in the back of the restaurant. Thorne hated eating alone at a restaurant. It made him feel vulnerable. He just tapped his hands against the table and watch a couple leave, making Thorne and a man in a gray hoodie eating salad, the only people in the restaurant.
That made Thorne feel really vulnerable.
Thorne just keep glancing at the man, who wouldn't show his face under the hoodie. Then that small, blonde girl, with really long hair, came out of the back with his food. The waitress was beautiful, usually Thorne would flirt with her and make it obvious that he was flirting, but he couldn't. She seemed to too good. It wasn't like the normal girls he flirted with in bars. This girl was working in a small family restaurant and lived in this small town, Thorne just moved to.
When the girl got to his table and placed his food on it, she asked, "Do you need anything else sir?"
"I'm good," He responded and she left.
How could Thorne just say that! He would never forgive himself for not asking her her number or even have her get more food from her, so he could talk to her more. He just groaned quietly and shoveled food into his mouth. He looked up and saw the girl talking to the guy in the hoodie. They both were laughing and Thorne got a better view of his face. He didn't see much though.
If Thorne talked to her like that man did, he could be laughing with her too. Too bad, it was just another pretty girl. All the girls Thorne seemed to like, sucked. That is why he moved, to get away from all the girls in L.A. The girls who knew how bad he was and his crime record from when he was a teen.
When Thorne was done with his meal, he got back into his car, since he already paid up front. He put the address of his new apartment into his GPS and started driving away from the restaurant. Before he fully drove away from the parking lot he saw the guy in the hoodie, the waitress, and another girl, with red hair who was probably the chef, come out of the restaurant. It must've closed. The two girls went into the same car.
Thorne looked back at the road and followed the instructions his GPS were giving him. He could've sworn those two cars with people from the restaurant were following him. His apartment was about three minutes from the restaurant, so it wasn't too far. Those people were still following him, that was creepy.
Especially when they parked in the same parking lot that he parked in. Thorne grabbed his phone and ran up the stairs to get to his apartment. He didn't try to act as his usual casual act, three people could take him down. Even if he probably weighed more then them separately.
His apartment was on the top, forth floor of the apartment building, which sucked. It was also only his second night here. He moved all his stuff yesterday and went to job interviews today.
Thorne fished around for his keys in his pocket when he got to the top floor. When he found them he jammed them into the door and opened the door. He immediately closed the door and locked it. He scanned his small apartment and went into the kitchen. He found a chef knife in a box of silverware and a beer bottle in the trash. He balanced the bottle on the handle of the front door, so he could hear if anyone broke in. Then he took his knife and his phone and sat down on his bed.
All the lights were already off, so he didn't have to turn them off. Then while sitting in bed he told himself he would look outside in a few minutes and go to bed in about half an hour. Until then he looked up the restaurant he went to online, The New Moon. They had very good customer reviews and their own website.
It wasn't a chain and had a very well put together website. On the website, it had a staff page. It had a picture of the red headed girl and the blonde girl. The red headed girl was the head cook. It was also owned by a celebrity, Kaito Prince. He was in a bunch of cheesy chick flicks. Always the guy that is the "good boyfriend."
Thorne hated him. He had a girlfriend who was in total love with him. Actually more then half of the girls Thorne dated loved this guy. He also lived in the city Thorne just moved to, Luna, New Hampshire. That is probably why he named his restaurant The New Moon.
Well, it was probably time to check outside. Thorne looked out a small window on his door. It was empty outside, but their cars were still in the parking lot. Maybe they all lived in the apartment building. The building wasn't around any houses, just the road and a few abandoned warehouses. The apartment building had eight apartments, two on each floor.
Just as Thorne was about to walk away from the door, the small, blonde waitress came out of a door downstairs. Thorne watched her go up the stairs to the apartment door right across from his. She had her apron in her hand and dug through her purse, probably looking for her keys.
Thorne now knew she lived there and he stepped away from the door. As he was doing that, somehow his hand hit the doorknob and the beer bottle hit the floor. It made a loud noise and she turned her head towards him. Thorne fell to the ground, not wanting to look like a creep. She probably was thinking though that that weird guy from the restaurant who ran up the stairs, like a dork, lives right next door to me.
Though Thorne still was happy. He knew it was cheesy, having a crush on the girl next door, but she was beautiful and Thorne really wanted to met her. He hoped she was the new girl he was looking for, the one to change his dating style.
When Thorne was sure she was gone, he got up and went to bed, hopeful.
