Hard To Love - Ep 8 - Birthday Girl by MissKitty2K

What are you treating me to?

It's not a gift, it's simply a nice gesture.

Oh.

Hey, I have a question. When your parents arrive,

how are you going to explain to them that I'm the only guest? Won't it look weird?

Well, I'll tell them that you're my only friend, right?

Since that's what you are, or am I wrong?

Well...

Excuse me, miss?

Oh!

Huh? What's happening?

Why did he appear out of nowhere? And what is he whispering to her?

Shit, whatever it was, it fucked up the mood.

Um, are you okay?

Antonella, what happened? Did I do something wrong?

Did that guy say something he shouldn't have?

No.

No, he didn't say anything. That isn't a fact.

Well, let us celebrate one more day of my miserable life.

Come on, birthday girl, cheer up!

Tell me what happened. Is it about your parents?

I don't know if sometimes you're just dumb or too slow with the uptake.

Huh? How? I don't understand.

My parents called to cancel the reservation and well, we have to go, okay?

I can't afford any of this shit.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

Don't you pity me, Red! I have no need of your pity right now.
