[align=center]Damaged. Beat up. Everything running through my head is pain this pain that. Nothing makes sense to me now. Blurry. It’s like who am I now. I tried to get rid of the pain that has been running through my head ever since that tour that I went on. But no matter how hard I try it's just not easy erasing a small memory from your head. So I decided if I can't erase it, throw it away. That's how we normal people in my eyes solve a problem.

One of the very few nights I get to go out on a special blind date that my friend Marissa set up for me. And he ends up being a jerk setting up a appointment for use to go to a shooting range. Who is this guy? Who does he think I am? The night was rainy, and everything just didn't seem to feel right. I get there, he brings out the guns, and starts carrying on a conversation about Iraq. A place he knows I was at for two years, and yet he has the knowledge to bring it up at a time like this. The lunch he had sitting on the bench, I picked it up throwing the hot, just out of the oven pizza at him. Serves him right.

I arrive back at my apartment. Drenched in cold wet rainy water. It ruined the dress I had on. Oh well I got it half off at a thrift store. Eyeliner stains run down my face. I open the closet taking out all my military uniforms. Wham. they hit the bed. Snip Snap. I shred them. Pieces lying everywhere. I glow of lightening hits the window. My head bent down. The glow gave the scenery an eerie feeling. Ring Rang. Click.

Jenna Banks: "Yea, this Jenna, I've been waiting to hear from you."

It was them. Finally I might have a chance to began a new slate. Maybe they can help.

Jenna Banks: "I'll be down there as soon as possible."

I hang up my phone as soon as possible. Grabbing my bags and my purse lying on the bed. It's like I knew I was going to get this certain call. The call to redemption. I turn the lights off exiting the room. Clank. I lock the doors inbehind me. I look around to see if anyone was near or beside me. Getting the go ahead.[/align]

[align=center]Rain hits my windsheild like rocks falling from the sky. The wipers tried to brush off the water, it didn't seem to work the rain just keeps falling. For some reason I put the palm of my hand on the window wiping off invisible water. I look at my hand. Ah what a stupid thing to do. I put my hand back on the steering wheel. Blurry. I can't see anything. I see the glow of a red light coming up, alright I need to stop. I put my mirror down. The eyeliner stains looks like I cried black tears. I do inside I thought. I open my glove compartment taking out old McDondald's napkins. I wipe the stains away or atleast try to. There, better now I don't look like Jenna demon. While i'm driving the vibration of phone scares me. I swerve off abit on the road but regain my balance following the blurry yellow line.

Jenna Banks: "Hello?"

Marissa: "Hey, where are you John told me you just up and bailed on yalls date. What the hell was that about?"

John. That was my date. It's not my fault I left because he disrespected me by taken me to a shooting range. Besides, that's so unromantic. Someone needs to let him borrow a book called 'Dateing for Dummies: Retard Edition', I thought to myself maybe my dad might have a copy in his closet.

Jenna Banks: "He took me to a shooting range and we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Now correct me if I'm wrong but does that not seem like a dumbass date? And boring. Why did I get this awkward feeling that I was the first girl he's been on a date with?"

Marissa: "Yea about that, you are the first girl he's went out with. He's not use to asking girls out and taking them to romantic places. It's all new to him."

Jenna Banks: "Huh figures. Where did you and Mathew go?"

Marissa: "We went to a dinner and a movie. We saw Coraline, which was the sweetest movie and we had Olive Garden."

I make an aggrivated face over the phone. I should have known they would go on a special date, and they haven't been dateing that long. They met each other the same night me and John did. I'm guessing I know what dessert was. How come luck doesn't come to me.

Marissa: "Where are you? The phone's getting all static."

Jenna Banks: "Uh yea listen, I have some bussiness I need to handle I'll give you a call back when I get into a steady area."

Marissa: "Wait. Jenna?"

Click. I look at the phone, I throw it in the passenger seat beside me. I look in my rearview mirror as I see the car with the bright lights pulling up beside me as he prepares to get into the other lane. I look back over to the window I see the sign 'Exit 15' I turn on my blinker, making the perfect needed turn. Here we go I said in my head.[/align]

[align=center]It's around nine o' clock outside. The sun was shining bright. I pulled into a gas station to fill up my car. It was running low, and I didn't plan on walking the rest of my trip. Before I arrived at the small town station, I pulled over on the side of the road to change my clothes. I smelt of myself. Ew I smell like yesterday's trash. Traveling for a full day mixed with sweat plus not taking a shower equals total body odor.

I got out of the car. I look around, the atmosphere was hot and bothering. I see abunch of old mechanics well in their sixties. Disgusting, but no offense to the old people. He comes over and fills my tank up, and I ask to use the pay phone.

Dale: "In the back area near the bathroom on your left. By the way, make sure you beat the payphone in order for the quarters to go in real good."

Jenna Banks: "Thank you...I'll be sure to do that."

I give an awkward face power walking to the building. I followed what he said, as I stuck the quarters down, and gave the machine three beats. It rings.

Marissa: "Hello?"

Jenna Banks: "Marissa? Hey it's me."

Marissa: "Jenna what the hell are doing calling this early?"

I give awkward look over the phone. What the hell does she mean 'It's to early.'

Jenna Banks: "Marissa what the hell do you mean it's early. Its nine o' clock. I'm guessing you went out partying last night. Man, well look I just wanted to call you and tell you I'm real close to my destination. I'm probably an hour out right now."

Marissa: "Hold on, Your leaving. I thought you were just joking you know ' Ha Ha ' . I didn't think you were for real. Where are you going?"

Jenna Banks: "Huh a place where I can hopefully get my head straight, and a job that will help me forget. A job that can leave me busy. To where it just vanishes."

Marissa: "Vanishes? Wait what?"

Silence.

Jenna Banks: "Look I'll call you back later alright."

Marissa: "Wait, Jenna!"

Click. I hang up the phone. I turn around opening up the the exit door of the store. The worker; Dale was just finishing up. He hands me my change, I get into the car. Before starting the engine, I pause for abit like I just had deja-vu. I erases from my head. I put my car in gear, and drive off.[/align]
