She was worth it though, wasn’t she? He saw things in Adrianna that he didn’t see in others and he really felt that he would be missing out on something if he let her disappear from his life. He remembered when they went to Starbucks after going to dinner the one time she actually let him take her out. They had passed a homeless man on the street corner that Adrianna had given a sad smile to. Then, she had ordered three coffees, which she insisted on paying for since Jack paid for dinner, and took one back down to the corner to give to the man begging for money. She handed him the coffee, offered him a cigarette, and both she and Jack chatted with him for a few minutes before Adrianna wished him well and they went on their way. A girl who would go out of her way like that for a total stranger was worth fighting for, wasn’t she? Jack found himself standing outside her door later that evening, again showing up after she didn’t answer his calls. He knocked loudly, but could hear music blasting from inside her apartment and he figured she couldn’t hear him. He knocked one more time, waited a minute and then just tried twisting the knob. Lucky for him, the door was unlocked.
