Garfield knew it was wrong. Garfield knew he shouldn't. Garfield felt bad, but that was the only way he could figure out where Raven lived to return her things. Garfield sat barefoot on his bed, holding Raven purse with one hand, and opening the latch with the other. He poured the contents of the things in front of him and looked at each of them. There wasn't many things in the purse. A single hair tie, a tube of lip stick, a few stray dollars and a card. Garfield picked up the card. Yes! It had her address on it. 1245 baker street, apartment 12.

Knock. Garfield stared at the number 12 in gold that hung on the dark colored door. No one answered. Knock knock. Nothing. Garfield shrugged his shoulders. He guessed he would just have to wait. Garfield slide down to the cold ground and leaned his back against the door. He looked down at the book that Raven had also left. It was black, just black. It looked old, but there was no title. How would you even know what it's about? Garfield cracked open the first page, and after that, he couldn't stop reading. The book was amazing! Before Garfield knew it, an hour had passed and Garfield looked passed the top of the book to see two black flats standing in front of him.

"What are you doing?" Raven asked, her arms crossed and her face pale.

"Uh…I found your stuff and I thought I should give it back." He answered, straggling to his feet.

"How did you find out where I lived? Are you a stalker or something?" She asked, picking up her purse from next to where Garfield was sitting and opened her door.

"No! I just thought you should have them back."

"Whatever. Just give me my book back."

"But I haven't finished it. Can I borrow it?"

Raven shook her head. "I don't even know you, why would I let you borrow one of my books?"

"Well, Then I can tell you about me!" He answered.

"I'm not going to stand here in the cold and listen to your life story." Raven said, attempting to grab the book, but Garfield moved away.

"Please!?!?!?!"

"I guess…" Raven paused. "You can come in and tell me about your life. But, just for a second."

Raven entered the apartment, with Garfield close behind her. His green eyes looked around the apartment. It was dark, and plain. There was a small bed against the wall, with black sheets. There was a small night stand with a lamp on it. There was a book shelf in the corner with dozens of books on It, and off to the side In the kitchen area was a small table with two chairs. Even when Raven turned the lights on, it seemed somewhat gloomy. Raven dropped her purse and took of her dark denim jacket, exposing her black long sleeved shirt. She walked over to the kitchen area, and pulled out one of the chairs, motioning for Garfield to sit down. Slightly frighten, He took a seat and placed the book on the table.

"Do you want tea?" She asked from the counter.

"Um…no."

"Whatever." After a few moments, Raven sat in the chair across from Garfield, sipping her tea slowly. "Okay, tell me about your life, and lets get this over with quick."

------------------------------

Kori leaned on the counter top, staring blankly at the wall when Richard came in. She quickly noticed him and stood up straight, like when a sergeant walked into a room. He smirked at her, and she gave him a gigantic smile. Then she tripped on her own feet, barely catching her self.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Kori nodded, smiling again. Then, he took of his sunglasses. Kori had never seen Richards eyes before. They were sparkling blue, very beautiful. Kori stared into to them for a long time and Richard looked at her with a strange expression on his face.

"Uh, I'm sorry, It's just that I have never seen your eyes before, You always were your sunglasses in the coffee shop, so I just looked at them for a second, but I'm totally over it now. So what can I get you? Oh that was a stupid question, you want black coffee like you always do right? How come you only get your coffee black, not that I care, you're the customer. It's just that I don't like black coffee. But you know what they say, The customers always right!" Kori smiled at Richard and he looked at her with the same expression on his face. "I'll get your Coffee…" Kori said, dropping her shoulder.

"Actually, what do you recommend?" Richard asked, smiling.

Kori brightened up and smiled and him. "Well, I personally think you should have the hot coca. It's cold outside you know, and it comes with these little marshmallows and everything!"

"Okay, then I'll have the hot coca!"

"Great! I'll go get that."

"Why don't you make it two. Care to join me, Kori?"

Kori's mouth opened wide, and after a few moments she realized it and shut her mouth. "But…I'm working," She managed to spit out.

"There's no one else in here." Richard smiled, looking around.

"Well, then in that case…Okay!!" And ran off into the kitchen.

----------------------------

"And that was the last time I saw my parents." Garfield finished. Raven stared at him for a minute, then blinked.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly.

"Oh, it's okay." He smiled at her. "So, what about your life?"

"Um…That wasn't part of the deal…" She said, looking away.

"Oh come on! I just told you from the time I was born to when my parents died. Your not going to tell me anything?"

"Um…Well, fine." Raven started. She took her elbows off the table and straightened her back. "I was born in a small city far away from here. My mother and me ran off into this city to hide from my abusive father and on my 6th birthday my mother died from cancer and then I was put in an orphanage home and was adopted by a lady who was very nice and last year I moved out of her house and bought an apartment here. The end." Raven said this all rather fast.

Garfield stared at her. "Oh…That's kind of sad."

"Yea, well life is sad. Any way, I have decided to let you borrow my book. Give it back whenever." Raven stood up and put her tea in the sink on the counter. She turned slightly and saw Garfield was still staring at her and hadn't moved from his position. "My life wasn't that bad. Don't feel sorry for me. Now it's time for you to leave." Raven said, walking over to the door and opening it to let Garfield out.

Garfield exited the house and turned around to face Raven. "So, I'll see you later?"

"Whatever." Raven shut the door in his face.

--------------------------

"Here you go," Kori said as she placed the hot coca in front of Richard and took a seat next to him.

"Thank you," Richard smiled and taking a gulp.

Kori smiled wide. "So how is the sporting goods store going? I mean not that I know you work in the sporting goods store, I'm not a stalker or anything, it's just that I've listened to you talk when you come into the coffee shop before, not that I'm an eavesdropper or anything, I just-"

"It's going great." Richard interrupted, knowing that Kori was never going to end.

"Oh, cool." Kori said, drinking her hot coca.

"So, how is everything at the coffee shop?" Richard asked.

"Um, Great. I guess, Business has been kind of slow, but when is it not slow? There aren't many people in here to often anyway. I guess it's just one of those quiet stores. It's actually kind of nice I think, I'm not busy all day and...I'm starting to babble again aren't I?" Richard nodded. "Sorry."

"Don't say Sorry, I think your babbling is cute."

"Really?"

Then Victor came in. "Hey, Richard!! How's it going? Hi…Kori, was it? Can you get me some strawberry pie?"

Kori forced a smile on her face and then hopped of her seat and went into the kitchen to get victor his pie.
