Nominu:(Talking to self) Ugh that’s enough for one night

“Tries to stand up but falls to the floor”

Nominu:I’ll just lay here for awhile it won’t be time to close for another hour

Small group of university kids notice and slowly what seems to be the main person of the group makes his way over to help

Aki:Hey ,you need any help?

Nominu;”muffled words”

Aki:I’ll take that as a ,Sure find out where to take me to a safe place where I wont possibly get hurt,welp I can do that  (looks back at friends)heyyyy imma run this girl to my sister’s place don’t wait up for me

(Random female friends 1 and 2):Ahhhh do you have to leave so early? Can you atleast sing us a song before you go

Aki:Sure I think I have a minute

Background music plays ,(Safe and sound,Taylor swift)A meaningful piano introduction starts him off,I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down

You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby even when the music’s gone, gone

Just    Nominu sits up remembering that song from the past and both of their eyes meet

Aki:Okay girls that’s enough for tonight ,We really need to be leaving now

(Random female friends 1 and 2):Okay=_=,make sure you meet up with us and the rest of the group in the morning,although there’s no real point

Aki:Whatever you say ,see you all tomorrow “Waves bye”

                                   Scene 2 part 2 of A Twist in Luck

They both are walking up to the cafe after just small talk on the short unexpected couple mile walk from Aki’s house

Nomi:Huh I guess I’ve never really noticed the name of the place “Luck” simple and sweet I kinda like it

Aki:Yeah this is one of my hangouts

They both walk in the door ,order drinks and find a table

Nomi:So I’m surprised I haven’t been introduced to a girlfriend?

Aki:Hmmmm yeah like the name of the place it’s simple and sweet ,I don’t have one

Nomi:Why?

Aki:To be honest and blunt, girls just get bored of me they say I have no real personality,It’s almost as if they think I have a life because i’m one of the more popular kids I don’t know

Nomi:Thats stupid ,You’re full of personality and for once I’ve found someone I can trust

Aki:You’re making it sound nice

Nomi:I’m telling the truth

Aki:Nominu,I mean N-Nomi?

Nomi:Yeah?

Aki:I want to ask you something and I want you to promise to not see me different because of it

Nomi:Go ahead

Aki:I said promise me!”With a tone of what seems to be rage”

Nomi:I promise”Smiling”

Aki:”Blushing”You’ve been really nice to know and we only met last night but will you go out with me, I’m only asking for it to be a month and you can leave whenever you want

Nomi:I-I don’t know love ,I’m not good at this

Aki:Please but it’s okay if you say no,You wouldn’t be the first

Nomi:”Covering face with hands ,Inhales deeply”Fine now can we get that food you said you were going to pay for.

Aki:HA so I guess this was truly a twist in luck,We sure can but first we have  to discuss that drinking problem

Nomi:You see ,Once I moved out of my dads house I couldn’t afford college anymore and just the thought of my mom seeing me in the place I am ,I just can’t imagine what shed think of her homeless uneducated daughter with no job

Aki:Don’t worry about money ,you can live with me and there’s been an open janitor job at the university for a while although it really doesn’t pay much

Nomi:It’s perfect I’ll get the see you there,Th-Then I can come home and see you ,Then I get to wake up and finally get to see someone I love again,

Aki:Oh so you do love me”Winks and smiles a little”

Nomi:YES ,Now please be quiet and order the food=_=

“Friends come over”

Random female:Hey Aki so how was last night,Did you “have fun”?

Friend 1 and rest of group

Aki:And what do you mean by that Trish,Did I sit up all night looking at a pretty girl wondering what to say in the morning?

Trish:Oh so you have feeling for the girl that has drinking issues

Aki:And are you jealous that you broke up with me and now that I’ve found someone better than you in every way you want me back?

Trish:Honestly Aki it seems you’ve lowered the bar ,but what else should I expect from someone as boring as you?

Female 2 Kacie:Trish you’re kinda being rude for being the one who wouldn’t stop talking about him after they left last night

Nomi:Oh so the whore of a friend does still have feeling for you,Too bad we just made it official

“Leaning in to kiss Aki to prove her loyalty,Aki swiftly leaning in as well”

Aki:”Catching his breath”So are we done here?Or do you want something more out of your oh so boring ex,You know I wouldn’t expect anything less from a person that lies about their feeling ,someone who puts down the ones they love,well I assume this is just jealousy at its finest so please can you leave us be on our first date!

Trish:No and I understand it’s my fault for leaving you but it’s different now,I-I love you

Aki:It’s not your fault i’m the one who was so called “boring” but Nomi has had enough problems in life and to turn around on what we’ve made already it would be a mistake for many reasons ,and were just happy with each other ,For you I had to jump through hoops and bend over backwards ,for her I just need to be here to help,this isn’t lowering my standards this is happiness flying into my hands holding tight and never letting go ,So what you’re say “I love you”,It’s meaningless it would be a life of hell for me to keep you content and maybe you just don’t have your standards high enough because i’m not the person to take on that task

Kacie:Trish we need to leave “Pulling her arm getting her out of the room””whispers to them”Congratulations!

Nomi:That was an interesting conversation,but those things needed to be said ,I just needed to hear you say and truly mean it”Leans on shoulder and just sits there for a second”

Aki:Food?

Nomi:Yes please

Aki:”Chuckles”Okay darling
