This is a pretty short chapter... not as short as the first, but still... I like ending them with a commercial worthy thing, but w/e... Here we go... I'm going to have Jaye in the bar by about chapter 4... just so you know...


"Your friends there almost got a man killed!" Jaye exclaimed to the wax lion, which she had sat on the armrest of the hospital waiting room chair. It looked back up at her and did not move an inch, "Yeah, you don't talk to me when I want you to. If your not going to talk I could put you in my coffee," she said holding up the Styrofoam cup which was holding her coffee. The lion was still. Jaye put down her cup, looking defeated, "Not my best approach, but you should be ashamed of yourself. You've put this man in a hospital-"

"No, Tyler, I think that was your fault," the mouth breather said as he walked back to the seat next to Jaye, thinking that Jaye was talking to him rather than the wax lion, which she tried to hide.

"How is it my fault? You walked into the man, not me," Jaye said defensively.

"I wouldn't of walked into the man if I hadn't of had to talk to you about your future at Wonderfalls,"

"'My future at Wonderfalls'? You act like I'm going to be here forever!" she said, starting to really mad.

"Well, you are pretty old-"

"I'm 23!"

"And working at Wonderfalls Gift Emporium! That's pretty pathetic!"

"You asshole!" Jaye said as she sat back into her chair. How could he say that to me! She thought, He should talk, he has no friends.

They sat in silence for a while, before a doctor came to talk to them, "He's feeling better, you can go and talk to him now,"

"Is he badly hurt?" Jaye asked.

"No, he's fine. He's just gotten a couple of bruises," the doctor said looking at her chart.

Jaye walked to the room where they had told her the man was in. He was sitting on a hospital bed. He smiled kindly at Jaye, "Thank you so much for bringing me here. Old bones don't heal as easily,"

"I'm so sorry about my-" Jaye searched for what to call the mouth breather, sworn enemy seemed to have a ring to it, "co-worker,"

"Oh, don't be, accidents happen," the man said smiling sweetly.

"Well, if your alright, me and my, um, co-worker should go back to the store, we're the only ones working today,"

"Oh, that's fine," he said smiling even more.

"Okay, bye then," Jaye walked out with an awkward smile.

She walked straight by the mouth breather without looking back. He ran after her, "Is he going to sue?" he asked.

Jaye turned on her heel, "What? You don't care if the man is okay? All you care about is if it will ruin your little job. You're tactless," Jaye was mad, but proud of her use of tactless.

"Well, if he sued Wonderfalls, we may both be out of jobs,"

"Well, he's not suing. Now am I driving you back or are you walking?" Jaye said tapping her foot.
