I sit by myself poking at my fries with a straw. I think back to when I was here meeting Dan for the first time in this restaurant.

I miss those days.

"Hey..." I hear a voice behind me. I look behind me and see Dan standing there. He walks up to me and I brace myself to hear more degrading language to be thrown my way.

"How are you?" He asks.

I shrug.

"Look I'm sorry for what happened at graduation."

I don't answer.

"Phil didn't mean the things he said. You're not an embarrassment for not passing school."

I look down at my fries before answering. Dan doesn't know about me, that's why he hasn't run away yet.

"That's not the reason why Phil said that." I reveal.

"It's not?"

"The reason is because I'm a prostitute, Dan. I'm dead broke, and live in a shitty apartment. I get beat and degraded almost everyday, I'm not worth the friendship. I'm surprised Phil stayed with me that long." I confess before getting out of my chair and turning to leave.

"Are you okay?" Dan asks as he grabs my shoulder.

"I'm fine."
