The young blonde stood in front of the fool body mirror looking at the dark purple spots all over her body. (This was not what she wanted when she married Jesse. It wasn't always this painful though. When they first met he was the sweetest guy. He always treated her like a queen, like no one else mattered. But it all changed when the got married. She was only 19 but she was in love with him and it all went down hill after that. He always hit her; and never let her have any friends, and the only time she could leave the house was to go to work which she never saw the money from. The funny thing was she still loved him. ) She walked away from the mirror and put on her work clothes and walked to A.J's Dinner. When she got there she went to the back and put her stuff in a little locker and headed out front to take some orders.
"Hello, my name is Emma I'll be your waitress. Is there anything I could get you this morning?" she asked kind of mono tome
"Hey um…I'll have some coffee…Oh hey Emma."
"Sorry do I know you sir?"
"Well I don't know, but my car still has 16 independent speakers." The guy said with a little smirk on his face
"Oh Jay, hey, um…will that be all?"
"What time is your first brake?"
"Um in about an hour why?"
"I just want to talk, catch up."
"I don't know if that's such a good idea."
"I just want to talk you know catch up on things."
"I don't know if that's such a good idea." Emma said shaking a little
"Oh come on, I don't bite, just for a couple minutes?"
"Um…okay I guess."
"Okay cool, I'll be waiting."
Emma walked away to get his coffee. The next hour went by pretty fast. Jay waited there in the same booth; finally Emma came and sat down across from him.
"Well hey, so how long to you have?"
"Not long so start talking" she said a little scared
"Well I just wanted to talk, you know catch up. It's been what 3 years, so are you still married?"
"Yeah happily." She said it like she was trying to convince her self more than him.
They sat there talking for about 15 minutes. Emma was just writing on a napkin while Jay talking about his job. He was in a rock band and they were in town doing a show. In the middle of one of his tour stories his cell phone went off.
"Oh…can you hold on? Hello? Yeah I know…No I'm with an old high school friend...I'll be there don't worry…Fine…I'll be there in 15…okay…later."
"So you have to go?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. But I had a great time."
"Yeah me too, well I actually have to get back to work to."
So Emma got up with out saying goodbye. Jay was getting his stuff together when he noticed that she had left the napkin she was writing on. He was about to give it to her, but instead he put it in his pocket and walked out to his limo. On his drive back to the hotel he pulled the napkin out of his pocket and started reading it.
"Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell myself that it's never gonna happen again
I cry alone and then he swears he loves me
Do you feel like a man when you push me around,
Do you feel better now as I fall to the ground?"
