It had slowly become the ending of a very long day for Sutton. Her back was aching, hands dry, and feet slightly swollen as she walked down the stone path across town. The sun was settling on the horizon, the night lights shining the pavement dimly as she continued to hum to herself. Her eyes were met with the familiar neon sign that belonged to Charlie’s diner and there wasn’t a muscle in her body that could stop her from entering. She figured that she’s sabotage a free warm coffee from her best friend and offer her company once Charlie got off her shift on the walk back to their shared home. Her hand circled around the knob of the front door, a smile dancing across her lips as she noticed the deadness that waited for her inside. Sutton noticed Charlie on the other end of the diner and she walked over, her left hand sliding across the empty booths with a laugh. “Half the time I’m convinced you don’t even deserve your paycheck,” She snickered, sliding into the booth across from her friend. “Is it always this dead in here?”

The girl scoffed at her friends statement. “Thank you Sutton.” She took a pen from behind her ear and started spinning it between her fingers. “Not always. I don’t know what happened.” Charlie shrugged. “But as long as I get payed I’m good.” She smiled taking her notepad out of her pocket. “So, do you want anything?”

He was in for a late shift today, and by some sort of miracle, Damien had managed to arrive early for once instead of late. Part of it was his stomach; he was starving and, if given the choice, he tended to respect his workplace well enough when it came to dining in. “Hey, Charlie,” he said, strolling up to her. He paused when he realized that she hadn’t taken in a word that he’d said. Damien smirked, snapping his fingers in front of her face. “Charlie,” he called again, pleased that he had gotten her attention, “wanna maybe seat your paying customer before he’s whisked off to yet another — by the looks of it — slow as hell shift?”

The girl chuckled while crossing her arms and legs. “Well, will you look at that.” She put a hand over her heart. “Did you miss me that much to come earlier today? I’m flattered.” The girl said joking. She stretched her arms and took a look around the diner. “At least I’m not running like crazy. On the down side I’m not getting tips as well.” She blew a lock of hair off of her eyes while standing up. She put her hand on the top of the table. “So, Mr. Hudson, are you pleased with this table or would you like to sit somewhere else?”

Charlie has been sitting on the table next to the window watching the rain fall for the past thirty minutes. It was a calm day at the diner -- since she got there she only served two tables. The girl was so distracted watching the rain that she didn’t hear the door opening. She only broke out of her daze when she heard someone calling her.

“I seem t-to be having them a lot.” Noah forced out, trying not to be so awkward, but he never succeeded. “Oh, uh-yeah, sure.” He nodded, having no idea why she wanted to stick around with such an awkward person, but he had no reason to say no with it. “I’m Noah.”

"Nice to meet you Noah, I’m Charlotte.” The girl shrugged. “But you can call me Charlie. Charlotte is too formal.” She smiled at him while rubbing her hands together. “So Noah, are you from around here?”

At that, Sutton rose her free hand to closely bring her index finger and thumb. “I’m only a wee bit drunk,” She tried to correct her friend. “Besides, I’ve seen worse from you.” 

“Let’s not remember that.” Cringing at the memories of when she got drunk Charlie shook her head. “Touché my friend.”

Her tears made his heart clench. Seeing someone so sorrowful practically broke his heart. How could Charlie’s parents live with themselves? How could they do this to their own daughter? Make her seem like she’s a burden, nothing. Andy approached her again, stepping closer and decreased the distance between them.

Andy’s smile was soft and sincere, opening his arms to offer her a hug she seemed to so desperately need. “C’mere,” he beckons. “You have nothing to be sorry for, okay? If I thought you were a bother, trust me, you’d know.” He pauses for a brief second, and his expression falls into something more serious. “You did what was right. You didn’t deserve to be treated like that. You made the best possible choice.”

Charlotte walked close to him wrapping her arms around his waist accepting the hug. She couldn’t help the few tears that still slipped from her eyes to his shirt. She wasn’t used to someone caring about her, the closest she ever got to compassion was with the maids, the cooks, the groundskeepers and the butler. But they still had strict orders to not get too close to the girl. Her brothers were too busy living their lives and forgetting they had a young sister who was treated like she didn’t exist, so she was basically always alone.

“Thank you.” She said pressing her face against the fabric of his shirt. “Thank you so much.” At first she was scared to run to the South side because of the stories she heard her parents say. She imagined the worst would happen when she stepped foot in there, but for her surprise the opposite happened.

Immediately, she felt bad for wanting to be elsewhere. It had nothing to do with Charlie; Ophelia rather liked the red head growing up. It was just the whole party scene that drove her anxiety up a wall. “I’m alright,” she nodded. “Around, I guess. I went to school in New York and then came back here.”

“That sounds pretty cool! I’m glad you are back, though.” Charlie said looking around gulping her drink “Greenlake changed a lot but home is home.” The red haired girl shrugged. “Sadly, things tend to change for the worst most of the times.”

He nodded “Fairly new, moved here about a month ago.” He replied with a smile.

“Well, ” She opened her arms in a welcoming gesture. “Welcome to Greenlake then. You will meet every kind of people on both sides. Don’t let the gossip get the best of you, some things you need to see to believe.” She smiled at him bringing her own cup to her lips.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” It was an answer that was programmed into his brain when he was talking to anyone but his sister. “Just an off day, I guess. Sorry again.”

“We all have those days sometimes, don’t worry about it.” She smiled at him and pointed to the line. “I’m here to get some coffee as well. Can I stick around with you? Only if you are okay with it, of course.”

Andy’s eyes widen just slightly, and he instantly reaches out to stop her from leaving. “Hey, wait,” he calls, blush still on his face. “I was wondering if we could go. Like, um- together.”

The word kept echoing in her head. Together. Bitting her bottom lip she turned to face him again. “That sounds... Nice, cool- I-I mean.” She took a deep breath. “I... I’d love to go with you. Together.”

“Same here, they still ask for my ID every single time. Guess the whole generation just came out with some kickass genetics huh?” she took another shot and gilled her a cup. “Alex. Now come on Charlotte, bottoms up.”

The girl laughed taking a shot. “I agree my friend. Look at us, we are a great example of that.” Taking a sit next to her new friend at the bar Charlie looked around. “So Alex, as we are drinking in a bar, and you paid my drink as well, we are officially friends.” Pointing a finger to the brunette she added. “But I know nothing about you and I think you know nothing about me as well. So let’s get to know each other, deal?”

Elijah looked up and chuckled, embarrassed by his actions. “I..uh… yeah, I was. I’m Elijah, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Pleasure to meet you too.” Charlie sat next to him and folded her hands on the table. “I don’t remember seeing you around, are you new here?”

“I’m not really allowed to use kitchen appliances…”, it sounded stupid, but you only needed to see Nate in a kitchen to understand why that was. It usually ended with broken appliances, fits of rage, a fire, or all 3. But, that didn’t mean that he wanted to say no. Homemade cookies were delicious, and a treat he hadn’t had in over 4 years. “But maybe I can watch you make cookies. Like a spectator. Speculator.”

“Sounds like a plan.” She said taking a cigarette out of her back pocket and lighting it. When she was a kid and her parents weren’t home she would stay in the kitchen, learning how to cook one thing or another. “My cooking skills are not perfect but I’ve never burned anything.”

Sutton’s hands easily curled around the petite frame of her friend, relaxing momentarily at the thought of a lukewarm shower and bed. Her head was pressed against the fabric of Charlie’s attire, but then it tore away as her friend move. She was unsure what was happening, head tilting to watch her friend settle her boots on the cold feet that had lost feeling against the chilled pavement. “You’re so nice to me-” Sutton lazily smiled, clinging obviously to Charlie as they began to walk forward. “Are you saying that I stink? Cause I don’t think you smell any better.” 

Charlie couldn’t help but laugh at that. “I need to admit, it’s pretty amusing to see you drunk.”

“Already paid for it my pretty friend. Wait…you’re over 21 right?”

“Oh come on, I’m 23 and thank you for the compliment. Oh yeah, I’m Charlotte!”

“Family is difficult”, Nate said softly with a nod of his head, resting his chin on his knees, turning his gaze forward to look over the grounds of the estate– or at least what he could see in the dark. “I wanted cookies, but I couldn’t find any. And I looked in like, 10 different cabinets. I found some poptarts though, and I ate three of them. But I still want cookies.”

She smiled softly at the boy. “Well, I don’t have cookies with me right now, but I can buy a package for you tomorrow.” Humming and stretching her legs Charlie sighed. “Maybe one day, when we both have nothing to do, we could take the day to bake some cookies.” She shrugged. “To take our minds off of everything for a while and pretend we have normal lives. But we can also have booze while doing so.” She added with a smile.

“I guess you’ll have to be my New Years kiss.” He chuckled to himself as he spoke down to the glass of whiskey and swirled what was left of it.

“Are you talking to your cup?” The girl asked poking her head over his shoulder, noticing it was someone she never saw before. “Oh, sorry, I’m Charlotte.”
