"Its Five o' clock you know what that means.... It's happy hour. For the next 30 people to hit the check out lane get a special 10% discount." Gina said on the load speaker. "Alex your needed in the back room."
"Got it." She said grabbing the clipboard. "This better be quick I have to take off soon."
"What do you think it is." Gina asked Warren who was now on register.
"I don't know but Poseidon has been using that room trying to make it kinda like Corey did for Rex."
"From what I heard they got into a really BIG fight." He said putting on The Whitney Houstoen he stole last year.
"You are one messed up kid."
"What do you expect ? I work here."
Alex walked into the storage room to see a table set for two with about a dozen roses in the middle of the table with one stray rose on one of the plates. The only thing that made the table settings lose its effect, azure plastic plates with wine glasses filled with Surge, her favorite soda. "What the heck."
"I hope you like." Poseidon said pressing play on a CD player. Satellite by Dave Matthews Band started playing.
"You know I can't leave when that songs on." She pleaded.
"Just sit down and have dinner with me."
"Cye stop this, please." Alex was at her braking point. All the stress that was on her was about to start making it hard to do the normal time.
"Alex what's wrong? I'm sorry please tell me."
"Everything is wrong." Alex's blue gray eyes were turning into a deep gray. "My life is so screwed up no one can ever fix it."
"Calm down." He said putting his arm around her. "It will alright."
"NO IT WON'T NOTHING IS ALRIGHT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ANYTHING TO BECOME ALRIGHT." She stormed out of the room. Leaving Poseidon standing left in the room holding one of the roses.
Alex ran past Lucas, who still was on the coach, and Warren who was taking 5 and trying to get the quarters off the floor. "What's with her?" Warren asked.
"Young Warren, what is wrong with any one." Lucas stated. Whenever Lucas was in some sort of deep shit, he started to talk like the old Chinese guy from the Karate Kid. Maybe it was his way of dealing or maybe it was just some thing did to piss off his coworkers/friends.
"You really have to stop going to Atlantic City." Warren said. "I got one off it took me a whole year but I did it." He got a quarter off the floor. The year before A.J. had glued down the slot machine winnings.
"You really need a life." Side said walking out of the room. "Where's Alex?"
"Try the roof." Everyone said.
"I should have tried that." He said walking up to the roof. "Alex are you up here?"
"Just turn around and walk away." Dub said.
"Deb, I need to talk to Alex."
"She doesn't want to hear you boil shit. She just needs to talk to someone who knows what's going on."
"Please tell her I'm sorry. I started to listen to those air head ass holes I called friends." He said.
"It was more then just you and her braking up. It was more like her mother and her meet, she was told she had a sister and found out who it was and isn't telling anyone but me."
"Why you?"
"Because, she trusts me. Just go away so i can talk to her."
"Fine." He left the roof.
"Alex," She said while walking over to her. "You can tell me now who's your sister."
Side walked down stairs and fell next to Lucas on the sofa. "She hates me."
"Now you have to explain what you did."
"There was this thing going round the school saying that she would kill me and some people in the school. My friends heard it before I did. They told me a different story convincing me to brake up with her. I was blined by what they were saying." He said.
"We've all been through this before." Burco said.
"Burco, pass me the pad and pen." Side said.
"Why?"
"I'm going to write Alex a song." He said.
"Romeo, goes easy on Juliet." Lucas stated.
"I will." Side said walking out into the store.
About an hour later
"Burco listen to this." He took his old accoustic gittar.
"Just play."
"Ever since the first night, i knew we were meant to be. I never could have seen all that we've seen. If it wasn't for your smile, I wouldn't have tried to get to know you. But I'm glad you walk through those golden doors on that cold November night. My heart was stolen by you and I'm glade it was. Your still the only one I love. My juidgment was wrong my eyes were shaded with the shame of knowing you would leave me. I didn't want to brake your heart, I just wanted to be sure that you didn't harm me. I listened to my friends and that was the only thing that was needed to brake your heart. My purpose was ripped from my life." Side sang. He really loved her, he wanted to undo what had happened.
"That's great."
"I hope she likes it. I really love her. I don't want her to be sad."
"I love it." A voice rang from the door. Side and Burco turned to see Alex at the door with Deb.
"So will you forgive me?"
"Sure." Alex walked over to Side and gave him a hug. "I love you."
"I love you too." The two of them started to kiss passionetly.
"Deb what is it?" Burco asked.
"I found my sister… well she found me." Deb said in a surreal calm voice. "She's just as screwed up as I am."
"Is that bad?" Burco asked. Coming from Deb you couldn't tell if she liked the fact that her sister was as screwed up as she was or the fact that Deb has some sort of family.
"No, I guess it runs in the family."
"Got it." She said grabbing the clipboard. "This better be quick I have to take off soon."
