Okay so this is only really a small four-shot idea I got earlier today when I saw the beginning of Mine by Taylor Swift... But I'm really hoping this goes over well... =p
BINGGGG!
A tired looking young woman came through the doors of a small diner. She sluggishly made her way to one of the bar stools on the right side of the building. When she made it she sat down and resisted the urged to lay her head on the counter and sleep a little. She was sure the people who owned the place would throw her out. She fiddled with the round opal pendent around her neck.
Startled by the pie and cup of coffee placed in front of her she glanced up to see a taller dark haired young man giving her a small smile. "You look like you could use some Coffee and pie." He shrugged before continuing to clean the counter down. He finished and returned to the girl and noticed she hadn't touched her pie but had drank most of the coffee. He poured some more into the cup.
"A lot on your mind?" He asked as he watched her with interest. He could help it… She was the only one in the dinner that seemed to be normal. He wanted to sneak his camera out and snap a photo of her lost in thought look in this dinner. It'd make some pretty art.
"Huh? Oh… yeah… A lot is on my mind…" She smiled as she played with the opal a little more. She frowned before taking a drink off coffee. "Boyfriend troubles." He guessed as he watched her play with the necklace. "Nope… Parent troubles…" She frowned again before drinking a little more.
"I see. I'm Shane… I probably should have mentioned that earlier…" He said smiling as he glanced down at the pie left uneaten. "I'm assuming you don't like pie?" He asked as he looked back up.
The girl smiled before looking down. "I didn't even realize it was here…" She laughed before picking up her fork and cutting a small bit to eat. "Mitchie by the way." She said after swallowing her first bite. She suddenly wasn't so weary of the day now. "Mitchie? That's rather unusual…" Shane murmured. "My real first name is Michelle... But I go by Mitchie." She shrugged. "I see. You said parent problem earlier… Are they fighting?" Shane asked curious now. "If… If you don't want to talk about it… My curiosity is just getting the best of me… Sorry."
Mitchie smiled as she glanced up at the boy's dark brown eyes. "It's alright... I'm a only child… My parents have been fighting for as long as I can remember… I think they stayed together because of me… I can't help but feel like it's my fault… I mean… always fighting over the same things… I'm sometime brought into the subject… It suck listening to them fight at all hours of the night… I'm surprised they are still together…" Mitchie said sighing and glancing down at her pie and coffee.
"It's never your fault." Shane said before pouring a little more coffee into the redish-brown haired girl. "Trust me… It feels that way but it's not your fault…" Shane said recalling his own parents. "Really?" Mitchie whispered as she took another bite of pie.
"Honestly… Yes. I don't see why anyone would be fighting over you… Unless it was a bunch of guys trying to date you…" Shane shrugged as he ran a hand through his hair.
BINGGGG!
The front door of the diner opened and in walked a heavy-set man with a mean looking attitude. Mitchie was actually afraid of this guy. "The normal Pippy." The man said looking at Shane. The boy gulped a little before turning and yelling out the order. Mitchie heard someone it the back reply with a simple okay. Mitchie took a quick glance at the man before looking back at her pie. She was terrified. The man had a scary look to him.
Mitchie murmured quietly to herself before looking at Shane. "H- h- h- h-how much do is it?" she asked still oddly worried what the man next to her might do. "On the house." Shane shrugged.
Fairly short... I know... What did you think?
