(Jerome pov)

I sighed adjusting my work hat. This was embarrassing, working at "Mile's Homemade Ice Cream Shoppe." I just need a few extra bucks for a game console. Many people passed on their hustle and bustle from each shop not paying me a glance. A few children drug their parents up and bought a cone or two. The day was pretty quiet I was dozing off when a quiet knock on the counter behind me brought me back to reality. I turned to see a girl standing there her face shaded by a dark hoodie.

"A-Am I i-interrupting y-your break? I-i can go." She said about to walk away

"Nononono! Your fine, what can I get cha?" I said practically launching myself over the counter at her

Her voice was dry and gravely like she had been crying, "Anything without chocolate please." She mumbled slouching on the counter

I nodded seeing she was down grabbed the biggest cone and began filling it from the soft serve, "So how is your shopping going?" I asked politely casting a glance back at her

"C-could be better. How's your work day?" She mumbled her cheek touching the counter

"Pretty boring, not many people want ice cream." I said turning towards the toppings and placing some sprinkles on the large amount of ice cream, "But I feel like it's a comfort food don't ya think?"

"Yeah, it's the only thing I feel like eating right now," she took a long pause, "especially since I don't have to watch my weight for someone."

I cocked my brow slightly, "What do you mean by that?" I asked pulling out the whipped cream

"I was dumped by my boyfriend," she raised her head "'You don't do anything for me anymore babe.'" She said in a mocking tone, "Bullshit I don't!" She grumbled "It's just... I... Why-" she broke off

I turned to her to see her slumped on the counter her hands over her already covered face. Her shoulders shook we small sobs. I placed the cone in an ice cream standie and walked over to her. Shakily I placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Ma'am? Are you alright?" I asked

"No!" She sobbed jerking her head up to look at me, her deep (e/c) eyes were glassy as a few locks of (h/c) stuck to her puffy red cheeks, "I won't ever be fine!"

She slammed her face into the counter and began to sob loudly. I awkwardly rubbed her shoulder a little. I saw something twitch under her hood when her head shot straight up and shot to her left. I caught a glance of what she saw. A couple a tall man with a women. He was obviously gloating about something as he flexed. I saw the girl in front of me stiffen sharply, then it clicked. 

"You can hide under the counter if you want." I said opening the side door slightly 

She looked grateful at me and clambered under the counter siting on the floor. The couple started to pass my kiosk when the girl pulled the man to a stop and said something a long the lines of 'ice cream can we please get some babe?' They sauntered up to the counter. I had snekaily handed my first costumer her ice cream as she sat under the counter. 

"Hello! What can I get you two on this fine day?" I said trying to stay cheery 

"Uhh.. yeah, two chocolate cones, and uh.. put a bunch of toppings on them." The man said, "My girlfriend would like a waffle cone for that." I heard the woman under the counter make a quiet choking sound 

"Coming right up." I said walking to the other side of the kiosk and started to make the cones 

I cast a few worried glances down at the woman under the counter and was kind of surprised by the fact that she had a bed ragled, tail laying limply next to her. Her face was shaded darkly by her hoodie as she continued to eat her cone. I served the couple took their money and waved them off. 

I watched them all the way down the hall then crouched close to the women. 

"Are you ok ma'am?" I asked resting a hand on her shoulder 

She started to lowly laugh, "My life has been a fucking spiral downwards! Just last week I was believing that my ex and I would get married someday and have a few kids!" Her voice crackled almost painfully as she turned her face to me tears streaming down her face, "Now look at me! Sobbing on the floor of an ice cream kiosk and telling some random worker everything!" She turned her face away from me, "My ex was right.... I'm pathetic." 

"Well..." I paused and turned her face to mine, "I don't have to be a stranger, I'm Jerome, might I have the pleasure of knowing your name?" 

"(Y-y/n)." She shakily smiled, "I-I should get going, my friends are taking me on a "Feel better spa day". I love them but that's a little over the top." She chuckled slightly standing, she pulled out her wallet, "What do I owe you?" She said thumbing through her money.

"Just your number and we'll call it even." I chuckled 

She rolled her pretty (e/c) eyes, "Sure." She grabbed a napkin and scribbled down a number on it, "Call me sometime." She trotted out of the kiosk and away 

I smiled to myself and stared at the number, my eyes widened as I unfolded the napkin, 50 fifty dollars and a small note, 'Thx, this is a tip for you for putting up with my sobbing. ~(y/n)." 

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I checked the contact then grinned smugly. 

"Hey Sky guess who got a cute girls number?~"
