She goes up to her cheap apartment. It's an old apartment located on East Seattle. Mrs. Emma bought the house through an old Indian man. There are three rooms, one bedroom, one living room, and the other room is both kitchen and bathroom. At that time, Emma has lived with her children 10 years.
She stand in front of the door, finding the keys. She hears the sounds of several continents at home. Quietly, Jewel put the key inside, and turn it quietly. The door is open. She walks into the dark apartment. Her mom, Emma is carrying Nathan, sitting on the old sofa nursing him. Whenever Jewel returns at home at night, Emma always feeds Nathan.
“Jewel’s home”, Nathan screams.
“Jewel’s home”, Emma pushes Nathaniel down and running to Jewel. Nathan fell on the floor, hit his head on the table, and broke his neck. Emma keeps chasing Jewel, but she's a ghost. Emma breathes to air and leave only Nathan, who is about to get up after he fell. He gets up, his head is covering by blood and blood. Nathaniel smiles and then flies away.
Jewel goes to the bathroom to get ready to go to work in the morning. The bathroom that smells like corpses, nobody knows why. There are scratches and stains on the bathroom glass. She goes into the bathroom and start showering. On the next floor, young people keep shouting and screaming.
Jewell is out of the bathroom. She goes to the kitchen, and takes out a box of cereal. She opens the fridge, look at the expired milk. She’ll be hungry today.
"Jewel, you have arrived early”,Joe talks to Jewel while he is making coffee. Jewell says nothing, and she only preparing for the new day.
The Joe’s coffee welcomes the first costumer, Annastasia. She is Jayden’s mother, but they are not contact each other as soon as Jayden is angry when his mother moves on.She lives three blocks from here.
“Mrs. Ann, like always?”, Jewel asked. Jewel hates Jayden, but she can't hate Annastasia, because she doesn't do anything.
"You know what I mean," Mrs. Ann laughed.
”There is a handsome boy lives opposite to my flat”, Annastasia starts talking to Joe. Jewel has forgot to mention the second guest and focused on a cup of coffee. The doorbell, Edward come in.
"You eating here too, my handsome boy?" With one smile, Edward heads to the store where Jewell is still absorbed with the coffee machine. He rings the bell.
“Welcome, what would you like to eat?", Jewel suddenly stands up and hits her head on the counter. She notices Edward is standing in front of her.
"I want tuna sandwich and Americano”, Edward giggles.
“It’s 7$ total”.
They know each other, but they don’t talk anything. They just keep it quietly like this. They smile and look the other way. There is a love tree growing up in their hearts.
Edward had left. Long times after that, Annastasia came home.
Jewel will go to the police station this afternoon. Her shift will end soon and she will have some times for lunch.
Jewel quickly changes her clothes after the shift. She takes a taxi and take a ride to Noah’s perfect lunch. It’s a restaurant near here. Noah is Victoria's boyfriend and had married after learning that Victoria has pregnant for four months.
”Where is Vic, Noah?”, Jewel rushed to the restaurant and asked Noah when he was making an omelet at the kitchen.
"Hospital”.
”We have waited a lot”. In the hospital room, Victoria whispered. Victoria was gave birth yesterday and Alex, her son is still in the special room. Noah called Jewel yesterday, but she wasn’t pick the phone up. She went to the special room to see the child.
