Chapter 2- Possible Rendezvous

*A week has passed*

Penny is sitting on her couch watching T.V. There are beer cans and bags of chips all over the place. She looks like she hasn't combed her hair and she is wearing a baggy t-shirt and a pair of boxers. She looks fairly sober and is drinking a diet coke. The door opens and a girl walks in.

C-"Wow this place is a mess, although that's not saying much for you.
What have you been doing all week?"
P-"Not much, Charity. I've pretty much done nothing but eat and
sleep." ~And think about Jake~
C-"Okay, just to get you out of the house, we're going to call some
friends to go and check out that new nightclub."
P-"Yeah. Let me shower."

*Jake and Dylan's*

They are sitting on the couch, sort of cuddling, and watching T.V. Jake looks distracted and upset.

D-"What's wrong?"
J-"Nothing."
D-"C'mon, I can tell something's bothering you. What is it?"
J-"I dunno. I just feel really bad about firing all those people."
D-"Let me guess. You're thinking about a certain person."
J-"Yeah." +Of course all I ever think about is her+
D-"Why do you think that is?"
J-"I don't know! She's my best friend and I had to fire her, and on
top of that I never see her. I guess I just worry about her." +Maybe more than I should. I don't have feelings for her . . . do I?+
D-"To get your mind off of this we can go out tonight. Why don't we
check out that new nightclub."
J-(a little skeptically) "Sure." +Like it'll help. Like anything will take Penny off my mind.+
