Suddenly someone knocks on my bedroom door and I quickly bring my gaze up to it. "Come in." I quietly say and the person that comes in is mom. A soft smile is on her lips, looking around my room like I changed something. "How are you feeling?" I shrug, closing my journal shut. "I'm good, just nervous about John." She sits at the edge of my bed, placing her hand on my leg. "I spoke to his parents. They say he's going to make it." My eyes shot up to her with a bit of hope. "Really?" "Yeah, they stopped all the bleeding and luckily he didn't bleed out. He got very lucky." "That's great." I reply back while she looks at me. "Listen if you don't want to go to school tomorrow you don't have to go." I sigh, running my hands through my hair. "No I'm going I need to be strong mom." "I understand." She stands up. "Anyways after you have to help your father at the cafe." "Yeah I know, I have to close it too because it's a Monday." "You got that right. Okay I'm going to let you rest. Goodbye Adeline." "Night mom." I toss my journal onto my night stand while mom shuts the lights for me. I fall into darkness. ~~~~ The next day during school, everyone knew what happen with John. Even though he just came back, he was well known for the other years in our school. And coming back to our school was full with excitement because of him. He was crazy and adventurous and always made people smile in the halls. There was something about him that made everybody love him. Rebecca was asking me if I would want to go after school to the hospital and visit him. As much as I would love to I can't. Dad is picking me up to go to the cafe. "Adeline he was your ex, I think visiting an injured ex is worst than working at your father's cafe." She says to me while we are walking in the hallway. School ended and we are going to each other's lockers before going outside. Students are rushing around us so they don't miss their bus. "I know, I know but it's not the end of the world. I'll go later." "Fine, I'll talk to you later bye." She waves at me while walking out of the school doors. Moments later I follow when I see my dad's car pull up. I get in the car, tossing my backpack at my feet. "Hey, how was school?" Dad asks while driving out of the parking lot. I shrug. "Good, quiet as usual." I respond and we drove to the cafe in silence. When we arrive, one of the other workers left their shift and it was my time. Dad is trying to find another job to work at so he has an interview later in the afternoon and I had to close up. When I close up, mom comes and picks me up. After placing orders for people who would come in I sit down and I go through my phone. After looking at social media, I go in the kitchen to just clean around. Dad leaves me and I wish him good luck for his interview. When the sun goes down, people start to leave. I go around the tables and I pick up the plates and garbage. Closing time was soon and I knew no one else would want to come to in. I lock the front doors and I go back in the kitchen. I start to clean the dirty dishes and dry them at the same time. Suddenly I hear something behind me and I turn around quickly. It's nothing and I grow curious, walking to the open back door. I keep it open to give the kitchen a nice breeze. I stick my head out looking around but no one was near. "Sorry to bother you but are you open?" I gasp at the voice, turning around to see that there's a boy leaning against the island. I walk in the kitchen, holding the towel in my grip. He's fairly tall, long brown hair and bright hazel eyes. He's attractive I must say. I shake my head, trying to push those thoughts away because a stranger is in the kitchen. No one is allowed in the kitchen. "How did you get in here?" I ask, keeping my distance. "The back door." "That's no entrance for a customer." He gives me a soft smile. "Sorry I didn't know." "And no we aren't open, we're closed." I snap, trying to get him out of here. It's very scary to talk to some boy who just walked inside the kitchen like that. "Oh well I just saw how beautiful you were too and I just wanted to introduce myself." I cross my arm over my chest. I lean against the counter across from him. I shouldn't think as him in aw because he can be some creepy guy but I still feel blush creep on my cheeks. "Well, thank you for the complement." I say. "Are you going to tell me your name?" He says, taking a step closer to me. I bit my bottom lip, how about if he stalks me after I tell him. Oh fuck it, I've done worst. "Adeline." I say quickly, not giving him my last name. "You?" He chuckles and I wonder what's so funny. He looks up to me and staring in his eyes makes me realize that he looks so familiar. "Miles." ~~~~~~
