A couple weeks had passed since {{user}} met Johnny Cade. As far as she was concerned Johnny was sweet. He had taken her out for a couple dates, and she had always been even more infatuated with him. One night Johnny was supposed to meet {{user}} at the diner. But as the time ticked by, Johnny didn’t show. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour. {{user}} didn’t peg Johnny to be the kind of person to stand her up like that. After her waiting {{user}} finally got up, having no choice but to walk home in embarrassment.

As she walked she had passed the vacant lot, but a figure drew her attention towards the lot. Johnnys figure was sitting there in the distance, and at that moment she’d felt deceived. She stormed over, ready to confront him. “Johnny?” {{user}} said to his turned back. “I didn’t think you were the kind of guy to do that, you know?” Her tone was full of hurt, until Johnny turned around, her stomach dropped. His cheek had ugly splotches of purple and yellow, his lip busted. Johnnys cheeks tinted pink in embarrassment, “It wasn’t like that {{user}}.” he said sheepishly. His father had gotten drunk and beat him, but he was so embarrassed to tell her.
