Azalia walked into the coffee shop, looking and feeling like crap, her hair loose and messy around her face, and wearing nothing but flip flops, sweat pants and a t-shirt. That's the last time I let someone talk me into staying out all night. She thought to herself, knowing it was a complete lie. She had been out at the club with some people from school, and had a huge hang over now. She couldn't stay at the house, too many people and too much noise.
Going to the counter, Lia ordered a coffee and when she got it, added lots of cream and sugar, since she hated it plain. She made her way to a booth, sighing as she turned away from the light. Pull her short hair into a ponytail, she took a sip of her coffee and sighed again as it went warmly down her throat.

With all the time he had been spending in the studio along with missing his two year old daughter, Noah hadn't had a good night's sleep in a few days. Lately, he had taken to living off of coffee. He climbed out of his car, and trudged along the small stretch of sidewalk that lead to the coffee shop. He grabbed ahold of his cigarette, and wanted to light it. He was trying to quit, but so much stress and worry had been placed on him the minute Sophia stepped onto that plane with her mother's sister. He decided not to light the cigarette he had placed in his mouth, and instead tucked it behind his ear.
The boy had unruly hair, because he had been gripping it in frustration just a short time ago. To be complete honest, he looked like utter crap. He had bags under his emerald eyes, unkempt hair, and rumpled clothing. He brought himself into the coffee shop, to get a large coffee, which he filled with tons of creamer. He hated the bitter taste, but he hated energy drinks even more. Noah turned to go and sit in his normal booth in the back of the shop, but quickly learned it was taken by a girl. He sighed and traveled to the one right in front of her, quickly unscrewing the light bulb. Noah took a sip of coffee and let his head crop loud onto his arms on the table.

Lia had started to doze off, her elbow on the table and her cheek resting on her fist, when her head slid off and slammed against the table. She jolted awake, cursing loudly and rubbing her head, a scowl on her face. She ignored the stares she was given from the costumers around, burying her face in her still hot coffee, cursing again when it burned her tongue and throat. She coughed, her scowl deepening. "Fuck my life." She muttered under her breath, slamming her cup on the table and crossing her arms, a small pout playing on her lips.

Noah lifted his head and glanced back at the girl when her head dropped to the table. And when she sipped her coffee and she cursed, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. His outburst called many of the other patrons to stare at him like he was utterly insane, but he couldn't bring himself to care one bit. It had been too long since he was able to laugh so freely. His chuckles finally subsided, and he chanced a look back at the girl through the small slit between the top on the seat and the divider.

Azalia tried ignoring the laughing but it was starting to annoy her. She stood and dumped the coffee into the trash, ordering a cold water instead. She didn't care if it were a waste of money, she was tired and cranky and she'd hurt herself more times in the last 5 minutes then she had in a while. She stormed back to her seat, managing to hit her shin on the edge of the seat. "Fuck my life!" She growled, plopping in the seat with another pout.

Noah chuckled again, even though it seems like he was a total asswad for doing so. It was too comical not to. He stood up, stretching and turned to her booth and shook his head from side to side, holding back a laugh. "Rough night?" He asked, genuinely interested in what the girl had to say. He knew what it felt like to have a hangover all too well, and for that he was glad his extreme partying days were virtually over. "I'm Noah," he told her, sitting down across from her. He didn't care if she told him to leave, after all, this was his go to spot long before her.

Lia kept her frown in place when a guy came over to her table, looking away. "There was no night." She said, calming down a bit. She sighed, holding her bottle of water in both hands. She didn't look up when he sat across from her and held back another sigh. "I'm Azalia, but most people call me Lia."

Noah smirked, "Well you look pretty hung over, I must say." He quipped, "Well Lia, anything I can do to help you out of that bad mood of yours?" He smiled at her, even though she wasn't paying much attention to him. "It's all in the mind set, you know." He added softly, "If you think you feel like shit, you're going to feel like shit. And tylenol helps too." He laughed lightly, remember the days in which hangovers were a daily occurrence for him, they weren't fun, at all.

"Oh, I am." Lia sighed. "I meant that I didn't sleep at all, so the days just kinda blurred together." She looked up at him then. "Why would you want to help me?" She asked. "You don't know me." She sighed and dropped her forehead in her hands. "I've never been this hung over in my life."

This made Noah chuckle, this girl was naturally funny. He stopped to think briefly.Why would I want to help her? He didn't really have a answer for her. He looked at her then, she was pretty even in her miserable state. "Well, I know how it is." He answered her, "Been there, done that." He felt sorry for Lia, and decided he would try to help her. "I remember worst hangover," He began speaking in a soft voice because he figured her head was hurting. "It was the night my one night stand told me she was pregnant." He shook his wistfully, "I got so wasted, that I black out and woke up stark naked in an unfamiliar yard," he chuckled, "Wearing an indian headpiece." The events after that had been tragic and sad, but he didn't tell many people about it.

Lia ran a hand threw her hair, which had come out of her ponytail. She had no idea where her ponytail holder had gone but she really didn't care. When he began talking she looked up at him again, but found she couldn't hold his gaze for long. She immediately looked away and continued listening to his explination. When he finished his story, her eyes floew up to his, her mouth slightly opened. "Wow. If that happened to me..." She trailed off, shaking her head. She wouldn't say anything about her still being a virgin, not too many people knew that. She started to ask where he got the headpiece from but she figured he wouldn't remember.

Noah smiled, "Yeah, I used to party a lot. Too much." He said, and figured if he would talk about his past problems it would take her mind off of things. "It was quite a challenge getting home that day." Noah laughed. "Sleeping with that girl turned out to be the best and worst decision of my life." He took s drink of his coffee and set it back on the table top, and picked at the cracked formica. "Nine months later, I had a kid, she took off." He voice was a little lower now, but it wasn't as painful as it used to be when he talked about these things. "Another year passed, and Hailey decided she wanted to be a part of Hannah's life. I came home from work to find her placed trashed, and my daughter was..." He stopped, looking up at Lia. "I should stop." He rubbed the back of his neck, embarassed.
"Let's just say I have to take my daughter Sophia to visit her half sister's grave." He grimaced. "Moral of the story," He began, his voice light again. "Don't get drunk and sleep with people." Noah couldn't believe that he had just spilled all of that out on a complete stranger, who would now want to run away from him and never look back. Noah moved to get up, to save her the trouble. "Uh... Stay away from the coffee." He told her, "And continue drinking the water, and lots more. Hot soup will help the queasiness, and most importantly, get some rest." He took one last look at the girl, and turned to walk away, thinking that he might smoke stat cigarette after all.

Azalia didn't know what to say to that, so she stayed quiet, though she knew she probably had a stupid look on her face. When he got up to leave, however, she quickly stood and chased after him. "Wait!" She called, catching up to him. She blushed after she realized what she did. "Ahh..." She frowned a bit, running a hand through her hair. "Sorry. I don't know what I just did that."

Noah grimaced when she followed after him, and turned to look at her expectantly. "Look, Im not someone you want to associate with." He told her, "You're cool and all," and beautiful, "But I have too much baggage. You wouldn't want to deal with it." He scratched of his neck and looked away from her, "And, I kind of have to be back at the studio in ten." Noah glanced back at her, "Sorry for dumping all that shit on you. It's been a hard two weeks." His hand dropped back to his side, "Well, it was nice to meet you, Lia. Hope you feel better," Noah smiled slightly at her.

Azalia couldn't help the pout that formed on her lips. "But..." She sighed a bit, looking away. "Alright." She crossed her arms, looking at the ground. "I have baggage too." She muttered under her breath, moreso to herself than him. "And it's not like I want to deal with my own. At least, not by myself." She practically whispered that one, wrapping an arm around her waist. She wanted to keep talking to him, but for the life of her she couldn't figure out why.
