“Thanks,” He paused before thinking about how he was going to continue the conversation, “I’m Nathan by the way, let me pay for your coffee? You look like you need it.” He said with a small laugh, although it was true, the strangers eyes seemed heavy and tired, and in that moment Nathan was feeling the same way.

“Jupiter. Are you sure, man?” Even as the words left his mouth he knew he wasn’t going to fight the other guy much; rent was coming up soon and he was just barely making ends meet, but who could say no to coffee? “Did you pay for yours yet? At least let me use my discount.”

nathan walks into the coffee shop, although he was exhausted and his phone was dead she decided to stop for some coffee before returning back home. he ordered his cofee, taking a sip before speaking “i don’t mean to be a bother, but do you happen to have the time?” he asked, before turning to look at the person a couple feet away from him.

Jupiter shouldered the door of the back room open, rubbing his face as he reemerged into the main of the store. He had about two hours between shifts at the coffee place and Blue Moon, but he knew if he went to his place for a nap he’d never wake up, so he resided to getting a cup of coffee to keep him up. He had just gotten in line when he’d heard the stranger’s question. “Oh, uh..” he paused to check his watch, “Quarter to four.”

Letter to No One

Hey, Gramps

It’s getting colder here in Michigan. I thought after all our mountain adventures back home I’d be used to any kind of weather, but I guess not. I’ll add that to the list of things I thought I knew. It’s getting pretty long. 

I’m starting to finally feel like I’m getting settled in here, meeting new people and everything. For a while, I didn’t know how long I was going to stay here, so I just focused on work and saving up some money in case I needed to leave. But I think I’m going to stay for a while, after all. My apartment’s nothing special, but it stays warm overnight and I don’t have to deal with any roommates, so I’ll take that as something.

I miss you. And mom.

I know you wouldn’t like it, but I can’t stop myself from going over what happened in my head every day. You’d probably say something like, “It was my time, there’s nothing you could have done.” But I just keep thinking what would have happened if I had done things differently. If I had fought you to go to the hospital that morning, if I had been closer to you when you collapsed. I don’t know. It’s just the ‘what ifs’ that get me.

I know you’d feel better knowing I don’t do the same with mom. What happened with mom stays in a little locked box in the back of my psyche. That’s for another day.

Some days I wonder if I can ever go back to Colorado. Not even home, just cross state lines. I miss the crisp air, the nature sights wherever you turned. But the more I consider it, the more I know it’s hopeless to even dream. Nothing’s there for me anymore; no one’s there for me anymore.

No one’s anywhere for me anymore.

I hope you’re okay, wherever you are. I just wanted you to know I’m okay.

I miss you,

Joop

“Um.. have you seen this little kitten? She’s shy and gentle. She’s been missing for three days. Her name’s Angel.” He holds up his phone, obvious worry in his eyes. 

Jupiter squints, leaning forward to look at the screen more closely. “No, sorry. I’ve got a spidey-sense for cats though, so if I start uncontrollably sneezing I’ll send you that way.”

“You could hang a flier on the door if you wanted.”

“Yes and no”, she said as she took a seat next to him. “I mean, for the most part yes. Unless I get stuck, then I move on to ones I’d already decided on.” She looked out to the water before nodding towards it. “Looks like I’m stuck on W. The waves are shit today.”

“You could take a picture of the lake and just say W is for worst waves,” he chuckled lightly at his terrible joke. “I’d tell you to skip to the next letter but X might be even worse.”

“You’ll just have everyone here swooning at your feet. And I will be to say I knew you when, and to sell them my infamous brownies of course.” She teased with a small laugh.

“Are you sure you’d like to hang around with me? I have to warn you I’m not half as exciting as I seem right now.” She giggles before tapping in her chin in fake thought, “Hm, you’ll have to bring me hot chocolate, powdered sugar, and lots of whipped cream. And perhaps most importantly, you’ll just have to be my friend.”

“Of course, you and your divine delicacies will be featured in all my works.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not nearly this entertaining or well spoken on a daily basis; half your exciting now is already twice me regularly.” He laughed a bit, “I could do you one better and let you use my discount at Screamin’ Beans. But you’ll have to be my friend too if that’s something you want.”

Celine giggled seeing him blush, it was adorable, but in turn caused her to blush herself. “Wow Jupiter, you have such a way with words don’t you?” She teases with a small laugh as she finishes her part of the brownie.

“Anytime. Feel free to stop by after your shift for another, maybe I’ll even join you again. But that’s only if you’re extremely lucky again.” She beams with a soft smile.

“Oh, don’t I?” He played, laughing at himself. “I’m the next great American author, I’m gonna be bigger than Shakes-” he stopped short. “Fitzgerald. Shakespeare’s a brit.”

“I might just have to take you up on that offer,” he said before chuckling. “Am I? Okay then, you’re gonna have to give me some tips on how to stay on your good side.”

“Whether you did or didn’t, thanks for the reassurance,” Jandy muttered, wrapping the towel tightly around herself. She smirked slightly at the blush that came over his face, part of her satisfied that she could still make a boy blush. It was such an innocent response, one that wore off between her and Jameson long ago.

“So, we meet again, Space Boy,” She chuckled, slipping her shorts back on under the towel.

“Uh, yeah, I-...N-Not that I wouldn’t want to! Just that, I-I didn’t think anyone else was out here a-and...” Jupiter sputtered off, thankful he was facing away from her. It wasn’t that he was a stranger to the female body, but he had been so caught off guard and had barely had a full conversation with the girl before.

“Janderson,” he greeted back, raising his hand behind him. “L-Lemme know when it’s clear.”

She dropped the camera and gave him a big smile before making her way over to him. “We’ve got a project for my photography class. Capture the ABC’s on film.” She looked out towards the lake and gestured towards the water. “W for waves.”

“Oh, that sounds cool.” His smile grew as she made her way over to him. “I didn’t know you were in school.” He couldn’t help but find himself envying her, get the education to do what he wanted in life, even if he didn’t quite know what that was yet. “Have you been going in order?”

She took the bottle, eyeing it suspiciously before glancing up at him. “Y’know…I was gonna assume this was water before the poison comment.” Still, the brunette undid the top before taking a swig. Setting it beside her, Carsyn laid back on the grass. “Oh well. If I die…that’s how I die.” 

Carsyn propped herself up onto her elbows after a moment. “That’s me. I don’t know if I introduced myself. I’m Carsyn.”

Jupiter shrugged, “Can never be too careful.” He let her catch her breath for a minute, chuckling quietly as she fell into the grass. “Jupiter. Nice to meet you.”

He sat quietly for a moment, unsure of what to say next. For as much as he was craving it, he had no idea how to handle social situations. He cleared his throat, “So, uh, what brings you down here? Just a run?”

She smiles softly, “You recognize me? I thought I saw someone checking me out in the morning.” She teased softly, eating a piece of her brownie, her eyes gazing over the lake before turning back to him. “Jupiter, that’s adorable. Pleasure to meet you.”

Jupiter laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck as he felt his cheeks heat up. “Ah ha, uh, well...” He shrugged helplessly, flicking the last of his brownie into his mouth to give him a moment to recover.

“That was a ridiculously good brownie, by the way. Thank you.”

“Don’t worry after all I’m the one who is walking here alone, I’m not sane either” she said joking “My name is Ursula but everybody calls me Ella”

He laughed lightly, “Yeah, guess so. I’m Jupiter. It’s nice to meet you.”

“So what are you doing out here anyway?”

Jupiter sat alone at the edge of Silver Lake, staring out across the still water of the lake. The air had gone frigid in the past few days, and it had only added to the eerie feeling of isolation he’d started feeling at the start of the month. It was almost funny; he had been so content these past two years in being alone, keeping his head down, but it was almost like all that time had suddenly caught up to him, leaving him feeling completely, utterly alone.

Sighing, Jupiter zipped up his North Face and reached into the pocket to pull out his Zippo. He rolled it back and forth between his hands, feeling the cool metal against his palms.

Jandy would never admit it, but sometimes her bedroom seemed to suffocate her in moments like these. She felt like her house was too small to contain all the emotion she would soon burst out. She felt the photos of her and Jameson glaring at her, the photos of her and Isley teasing her, the ones of her family making her sick. Moments like these she spent by the lake, and sometimes in it. School was keeping everyone occupied and with it being the middle of the week, she didn’t expect anyone to be there so when she didn’t bring a bathing suit, she didn’t think anything of it. That was, until she was leaving the water and the redheaded boy she recognized from the coffee shop was looking out across the water. 

Her hair was covering her bare chest, the black locks like a cloak over her shoulders, but there was no way she would be able to run back to her things without giving a show.

 “Hey!” She called out to him, sinking back a little into the water. “You, uh, mind moving that towel a little closer to the bank?”

So caught up in his own thoughts, he didn’t even realize the girl in the water was sharing the space with him until she called out to him. Instinctively he looked up, only to meet eyes with a barely-covered girl. “Oh, shit-” Jupiter’s face turned as bright as his hair as he instantly looked away, covering his eyes. “Uh, y-yeah, just-... hold on...” Head still down, he scrambled to his feet and over to the towel, tossing it closer towards her before turning around. “Sorry, I-- uh...”

“I-I-I didn’t see anything...”
