"Calm down, now I need to find a place to stay. Maybe an inn or something, at least until I can find an apartment or something. I also need to find a job. Get up, you're helping me." I get up off the bridge and offer him a hand to help him up.
"Jeez, thanks for giving me the option to help you." And with that he takes me hand and gets up off the bridge.
"I know, wasn't I kind. Now come on and help your dear friend." And with that we start walking towards town.
We were both lost in our own thoughts as we walked into town with his arm around my waist.
"Jess, is there an inn or hotel here? Because otherwise I'd have to go find something in Hartford, and I really don't want to go that far."
"Relax, there's an inn. I'm surprised you didn't look all that up before you came. I mean you're normally really organized."
I look in front of me and see a big house that says Independence Inn. It was pretty. At least I have a place to sleep now. I smile somewhat hesitantly in reply to Jess, "Yea, well, I wasn't sure if you were even here, or what was going to happen, so I didn't think ahead. I was too nervous."
"Right, well, Lex, here's the inn I was talking about. Do I need to go in with you? This town is a bit crazy, and if they see the two of us getting a room, they might get the wrong idea."
"Since when are you one to care what others think?" I replied incredulously.
"I'm not, it's just I don't feel like hearing about this from my uncle."
"Yea, okay. I'll meet you are the diner in a few hours. I need to go and get my car from in town. I'll drive over from there."
"Car? Since when can you afford a car?"
"Well, I've been working two jobs since I was 13. Money sort of collects, you know? I splurged and bought my self a graduation present. It's blue, and shiny, and pretty!" That sure makes Jess laugh at me. "Hey, don't laugh at me." This only makes him laugh harder.
We turn around and walk into town towards my car.
When we get to it, Jess says, "Well, this is where I leave you. Come to the diner when you are ready. I'll have coffee waiting."
"You're an angel."
Jess walks away shaking his head and laughing.
I get into my car, start it up, and start to drive towards the inn. I notice once again everyone in this bloody town is staring at me. Once I get to the inn and park, I walk in.
At the desk is a man who doesn't look like he wants to be there. I walk up to the desk and say, "Umm... Hi, I was wondering if you have any rooms free."
The man replies in a thick French accent, "We don't give rooms to minors. Go away."
"Hey! I'm emancipated, no that it's any of you're business. Now I asked if you have any bloody rooms free so will you please answer me."
The man mumbles to himself while he checks the computer for any free rooms, "Kids these days, so rude." Then he looks to me and says, "Why yes, we have a room free for you. We just need your credit card and an id and we'll be all set.
I'm not kidding when I say I think that everyone in this fucking town have multiply personalities and should be put in a mental hospital.
After ten minutes are so, I get my room key and head up to my room to drop off my suitcase. Most of my stuff was till in London. It was going to be sent over once I found a place to stay.
Once unpacked, I head off to the diner to meet up with Jess.
