I wake up to silence.

I look around and I'm the only one up which happens often even though I hate the mornings.

I gently grab JJ's arm and replace my spot with a pillow, grab my backpack that laid on the coffee table then walk outside.

I didn't plan on leaving I just needed something from my backpack and didn't want to wake anyone up.

I go out onto the dock and dangle my feet off the edge.

I open the front part of my backpack and grab a pack of Marlboros and my playboy zip lighter JJ bought me for my 16th birthday.

I don't smoke cigarettes often but that doesn't mean never.

I grab a cigarette from the pack and light up it.

I take a puff and exhale the smoke the feeling warming me up since it was quite cold outside.

I hear footsteps coming down the dock. I don't bother to look back and see who it is because I'm lazy.

"Hey, why are you out here so early aren't you cold?" It was Kiara's scratchy morning voice that greeted me.

"Just wanted to grab a quick smoke" I look over my shoulder and she sits down behind me. I turn so that I'm fully facing her.

"I didn't know you smoked cigarettes" she says and I shrug "Only on occasion, sometimes I prefer a cigarette over a puff bar" she nods.

"Do you wanna help out at the wreck today? My dad will pay you for it" "Yeah of course" I say kindly.

"Ok great! We'll leave around 1 because my shift starts around 1:30" I nod.

"Come on let's go inside, you can smoke on the porch I don't want you getting sick" "Ok mom" i mumble then I stand up helping Kiara.

I drop the cigarette on the dock and step on it to make sure I put it out grab my backpack then we walk back towards the chateau.

"Seriously Haven? That's bad for the environment" she yells at me as I walk away. I don't even have to look at her to know she grabbed it so she could throw it in the trash when we got inside.

I place my back pack on the pull out as I pass it and go into the kitchen.

I grab an apple then close the fridge.

"Haven" JJ mumbles "Hm?" I walk back into the living room and he's still sleeping. "Haven" he mumbles again.

What is he dreaming about?

"Haven please" he moans quietly and I slap my hand over my mouth.

He's having a sex dream about me this is golden.

I sit on the pull edge of the pull out.

"Haven" he moans again quietly and I giggle. I decide to not be a mean person and wake him up.

I run my fingers through his hair "JJ wake up" I whisper. He stirs a bit "JJ its time to get up" I shake him slightly.

He groans loudly "I don't wanna get up, I was having a good dream" he complains "Oh I know, I could hear your enthusiasm" I tell him.

He doesn't look flustered or anything like any normal person would be "Good" he simply states.

"You're so weird" I mumble and walk away to throw my apple in the trash.

"By the way I'm going to help Kie at the wreck in a couple hours" I walk back to the living room and sit on the recliner. He nods playing on his phone.

"Oh and JJ" he looks up "Please don't tell anyone about last night" "I wasn't planning on it"

"Haven go grab table nine's order please" Kiara says as she's waiting on table five, I nod and walk back towards the kitchen.

Today is super busy and it's weird because it's not usually busy on Sundays.

I drop table nines order off and rush back to the kitchen to bring out table twelves order.

The lady is being a bitch about the seasoning on her fries so I had to remake it myself.

"Excuse young lady I asked for cheese on these fries"

I'm not gonna punch her, I'm not gonna punch her.

"I'm so sorry ma'am but we don't do that here" I give her a fake smile.

"Of course you don't" she says rudely "Well I still want cheese on my fries, is there any possibility in that little brain of yours that you could go back to the kitchen and maybe ask for them to put cheese on my fries"

"Ma'am I'm very sorry but I'm waiting on seven other tables and we are very busy today. If you wanted cheesy fries you should probably go somewhere where they can do that for you" I tell her and before she can respond I walk away.

"I hate that bitch" Kiara mumbles referring to the lady I was waiting on. "She comes in every Sunday and does that stupid fry thing" she adds "That's so dumb" I mumble and tighten my ponytail.

Kie and I decide to work until closing to take some stress off of her dad.

"You know Haven you should work here full time, our regulars love you and you're a great worker" Kiara's dad says as I wipe off some tables.

"Oh no thank you Mr.Carrera, I'm not really into the whole commitment thing, it's not my forte" I place the rag in the bucket "Well I could've told you that" Kiara says.

"At least I'm not chasing soccer boys Kie, you have the worst taste in boys" I say with disgust "Hey at least I don't have a thing for one of my best friends" I roll my eyes "Kiara I told you I got over my crush on you a couples years ago" I whip my ponytail.

"I know that I'm talk about you and a certain blonde named JJ" She says sitting at the bar I sit next to her.

"Oh cmon Kie how many times do I have to say it, I don't have a thing for JJ. We're just friends"
