closure with the players part 2
Oct. 15th, 2002 08:12 amDiane Grey - I was working at Subway the last time I saw her. I recognized her as soon as she walked in but I need some kind Of verfication. I had heard she had gotten married and assumed that the guy was her husband. I quickly figured out the were just friends. The whole time I was serving her she had that look of unsure remeberance while I was doing everything I could not to smile my ears off. I felt anything I would have said would have been stupid and awkward. She was very professionally dressed. Seemed to be doing very well. I, in my food clown outfit, did not have any desire to take her back to things like this. With all the thoughts and memories racing through my head, I had convinced myself that if she ever recognized me, she would say something. Or come back under more relaxed circumstances. After assembling their grub it was time for the big pay out. She opened her wallet to pay and there, in perfect view, was a credit card with her name printed on it. I uncontrobly smirked. This added to her look of curiousity. $5.23. Enjoy your meal. Enjoy your life.
Steve Hughes - They were high school sweethearts and their relationship ended with the summer rites of passage. The last time I saw Steve I did not actually see him. When I worked at the hotel I would make a nightly trip to the Store24 in Harvard Square. Always engaging in conversations, with the coolie clerks, that were just not possible in the day. It's a special bond amounst shift workers who are willing to accept anything except pushy drunks. One particular time I was talking to the clerk on duty, Storm, about growing up in the shithole that is Oklahoma. She asks what school I went to I tell her. Diferent school but the same district. Do you know? Do you know? How about? Steve Hughes? Holy shit it's a small world. Turns out that Steve was her first. During one of the off periods between he and Diane. I had actually watched the tape with her, Steve, and another girl. That was the last time I actually saw him. She had tried calling him in California several times but always seemed to miss him. Sometimes I think I should have tried myself. I spent that Thanksgiving getting drunk with Storm, her boyfriend, and a small group of other people. Occasionally sharing blurred memories. That night I think I got more drunk on emotion than I did alcohol.
