unexpected

Jo's pov

We have to leave her there with them. She'll be fine I know that, but she doesn't deserve to deal with them alone. Nobody will be there to take their shit. She's strong though.

oh, right I'm very sorry for the confusion. I bet you're trying to figure out who "she" is. Well her name is Nora and she is my little sister. She's a year and half younger then me.

I bet you're also wondering who else I was talking about Nora staying with, well that would be our parents. We don't talk about them. They're shitbags.

I just graduated in may, I'm starting my freshman year of college unfortunately in a week, I wanted to travel and write but that's not going to ever happen. I'm majoring in english literature and writing pretty basic I'm aware, but I need to get my degree to be able to provide for when I leave with Nora and Maverick.

he's our best friend, he's been there since I was 6.

when it was the worst.

Nora is helping Mav and I move in today. I have a roommate I don't know who she is yet. Let's just hope she doesn't talk a lot. The room is the basic small, hot, room that smells sinful. ah college.

"hey Jo, you should really get a better fan if you plan on sleeping in here." Mav said.

"you're going to need one for your room too." I joked. we all laughed.

"hey do you guys want to go get food, I'm starving." said Nora.

we all left to go find somewhere to eat. There was a small diner right off campus it was a cute old timey place. We went to sit down at one of the booths.

Booths are always the better option.

An older waitress came up to our table, "what can I get you youngsters to drink?"

The nickname brought a smile to face. I looked up to her

"I'll just have water, please." I always try to be polite to people you never know how bad their day could've been, one polite person could make some stranger's day.

"We'll have two Sprites please" Mav said with a cheeky smile.

A few minutes after she left she walks back up to the table with our drinks setting them down with straws.

"Now are you youngsters ready to order or do ya need a minute more?" she had a slight New York accent.

"I'll have a double cheeseburger with no tomatoes or unions and a large fry" Mav said while still looking at the menu almost as if he wanted to add to his huge meal.

"I would like the chicken strip basket with fries" Nora gave her her order while flashing the lady a smile

"and for you miss?"she looked in my direction.

"Just an order of fries please"

"my god honey no wonder you're so skinny." she said walking away.

I have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with food, always have since I was little. It's not that I don't like food it just scares me sometimes. I just wish people wouldn't mention it, I mean I understand it coming from certain people they care about my health but when random people will make comments about the way i look doesn't help the matter anymore.
