Chapter II: Listen
The following day, I woke up after I heard the voice of my angel, Jennifer talking
to her next door neighbor, Susan. Susan is a 27 year old, Japanese ethnicity, with
black hair cut shoulder length, she looked to be at least 5’5”. She’s been living in the
apartment for nearly 5 years from what I heard, she was beautiful but not as beautiful as
Jennifer, standing at 5’8”. She and Jennifer were talking about a party, that Susan was
hoping to invite Jennifer to come .I listen carefully, while hiding on the stacks of
newspaper, they were speaking like they were using a boom box stereo, but I was as far
enough from them from seeing me, to at least my vantage point
“You should come, it’ll be fun, I have friends who can hook you up.”
“No, I’m sort of busy that day, I have to work and then I have to study for a final for one
of my college classes.”
“Oh, that’s too bad, but anyway how do you like living here any way in the past weeks?”
“It’s alright, my place is cozy, and the rent isn’t that bad. But I still need to get a few
items before my new home could feel like home.”
“That’s good; well I’ll see you later. Remember if you need any help, I’ll be next door.”
Jennifer just stood there for a minute smiling as Susan went downstairs, but after
she was long gone, she let a slip of an unhappy frown and look down on the floor.
Jennifer seemed she wanted a boyfriend more than ever, but I can tell that she was really
shy or afraid to be near a guy. As she stood there, touching and curling her blond hair, I
couldn’t help notice she let down a small tear that fell down straight to the rug. She was
alone, in the world. I have no idea if heard parents were still alive, or if she actually had
any friends or maybe a boyfriend…..? She then turned around and closed the door, and
indistinct I could hear her cry which sounded faint. I rushed to only lay my head on her
apartment door, and listen as she cried and cried.
“It’s okay, Jennifer”, I said, slowly. “I’m here.”
Later that night, after eating another bread crumb, I came to my circumstance, that
I needed Jennifer’s attention, I couldn’t stand see her alone like this, and if I don’t act
now she can end up with a guy later, giving me much regret about it, and creating my
own depression. But first I needed a plan, how should I get to her?, what should I say?
Can I really do this? These thoughts just kept revolving around my head a lot, to the point
I felt dizzy, and slept on the newspaper the whole night. By the morning I know I’ll have
a plan, that will work. But can it, really….?
