Eileen's P.O.V
Eileen started to cry. She knew the reason that Rigby said those things was because he didn't like her. Eileen slowly walked inside, and stood behind the counter to help a line of customers. After the morning breakfast rush, Margaret walked over to her.
"Eileen, are you okay? Are you going on another date tonight?" Margaret questioned.
"…yes, I'm okay, and I won't ever date Rigby again, because he broke up with me," Eileen replied, tears forming in her eyes again.
"Gosh, Eileen, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring it back up," Margaret put a hand on Eileen's shoulder. "But there are a lot of other guys in the world, don't just stop at Rigby,"
Margaret was right. Rigby was only one guy. There are other people out there. But Eileen couldn't help but think of the raccoon again. His smile, his laugh, his eyes… it just seemed like it was meant to be.
Eileen locked up that night, glad she had some time to think and be by herself. I can't believe that I fell for him… but I can't get him out of my head. Why is love so confusing? Eileen got in her car, only to hear the same comedian that they had listened to on their way to Six Flags. Eileen turned off the radio, wanting it to be completely silent.
Eileen unlocked the door to her apartment, and went to fix some spaghetti. She almost over cooked it, because she was deep in thought. When the spaghetti was done, she sat down and ate it, taking small bites. She got in the shower, threw on her pajamas, and fell fast asleep, now hoping that she would wake up and have Rigby breaking up with her only be a dream.
…
The next morning, Eileen was helping customers when a man named Tuck Packard came up. He was tall, tan, and handsome. Eileen started to do his order, when she said something funny and made Tuck laugh. She told a few more jokes, and before she knew it, she had Tuck's phone number. She was just trying to make the customer laugh. But, this was okay too.
The next day, Eileen called Tuck to see if he was available that night. They set up a date, and that night, they went to dinner. They had almost as much fun as she had with Rigby. Tuck was talking to her, and being respectful, and he paid for everything except Eileen's drink, as she had insisted that she pay for it. When Eileen went home that night, she realized that she didn't think of Rigby once. But, that didn't mean that she had forgotten about him completely. She didn't even blame him for the break up. He seemed truly sorry when he did it. She would always welcome Rigby back with open arms. He still had a very special place in Eileen's heart.
