I can’t believe we’re in NYC!” Charlie said, as she shoved fries into
her mouth.
I smiled back, just as excited. “Even though our apartment is
smaller than my closet back home, I think this is going to be an epic year.”
We toasted with our chocolate milkshakes and giggled as they splattered on
the table. “When do you start your new job again?”
“Monday. So we have this weekend of freedom, and then I’m a
slave to the keyboard.”
“I need to find a job.” I sighed, swirling a fry into my milkshake.
“I’ve auditioned for like 10 shows, but not a single callback yet.”
“Laynie, it’s fine.” She waved her hand in the air with half her
mouth full. “We have a plan, remember? Don’t stress about it. I got us.”
Charlie has been my best friend since 8th grade. We always said we
would move to NYC one day, and we finally made the dream a reality. The
plan was for me to work on Broadway, but I think I underestimated the
competition. Charlie is a self-taught software engineer who landed a job
making 150k starting. She earns enough money for us to live comfortably,
but I want to contribute. I don’t want Charlie feeling like she will need to
take care of me, although she would, and does, without question. I think she
feels some moral obligation to me since my parents took her in when we
were in 10th grade.
Charlie had a tumultuous childhood and an unpredictable drugaddicted mother. I love her with all my heart and love that she made a life
for herself despite the odds against her. When we turned 21, we finally

“Let’s get out of here and explore!” Charlie said. She threw the last
piece of her sandwich on her tray. “I downloaded this app to help us use the
train system better. Yesterday was a disaster.”
I nodded in agreement. Yesterday, we had gone a bit too far from the
city and didn’t realize the trains stopped running in certain areas at certain
times. We ended up running into this creep that followed us around until
Charlie confronted him. It forced us to take an Uber that cost over $80.
Charlie tied her jet black hair in a bun and got up from the table. She
had on black leather pants and a gray ribbed shirt tucked into her pants. She
had a Gothic style about her, always wearing black, dying her hair black,
and wearing thick black combat boots with almost every outfit. I loved her
ability to not give a flying fuck about what anyone thought. She was an
artist with an IQ out of this world.
Meanwhile, I care too much about what people think about me.
Always second-guessing my wardrobe, my hair, my makeup. I wear my
hair down almost every day, allowing my wavy hair to be free, but I wish I
had the courage to be more drastic and take risks like Charlie.
After a full day of exploring, the ride on the train back to the
apartment was jam-packed with people
