Jackie has been working at a bar for the past three months since she got to New York. She sighs. Its hard working while your pregnant but she had to work in order to survive. She sighs she was so tired working at the bar filled with drunks. Especially Michael Green Mickey people call him for short. She didn't know how people called him that how you got Mickey from Michael. She sighs so she calls him Mike. She would call him by his proper name but many bad memories with that one. She sighs once again. She got off work and walked home to her slimy apartment ugh she didn't think starting from the bottom was so hard or the fact in started here. She got to her apartment she didn't want her baby to be raised in this hell hole she had to find a better apartment. She looked around it didn't have even a room just a kitchen net and a living room. She took off her apron and her shoes and got into her PJs. She missed Steven so much it wasn't met to be. She loved him he was her first real love.
The next day Jackie got up to go to her day job a department store clerk. IT was a long day but she had to go to work at the bar. She rolled her eyes at Michael Green as he approached her. She just got off of a busy night she made three hundred dollars in tips tonight. Terry another Patron comes up to her and asks for another beer but she shakes her head. She shakes her head and heads for home.

Jackie turns around to see who was talking to her
"Hi Mike what do you want"
"Nothing I just don't want you walking alone"
"I do it every night"
"Well you shouldn't"
"How nice being a gentlemen for once"
"Yep" Michael said with pride
"so how do people get Mickey from Michael"
"I don't know they called me Mick when I was younger but then add key so it became Mickey"

"So why do you call me Mike"
"Well I would call you by your proper name but I had a boyfriend with that name who cheated on me"

"oh and who is that"
"Fez the Foreign ex change student"
"So why not go with him"
