It's been a long day without you my friend.
I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
....
Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through.
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we've lost on the way.
.....

Texas smiled upon me.
I finished high school here.
Johnson called me almost every time.
Lucas died two years after he finished high school.
Apparently he had cancer.

I'm still not gonna forgive him because he hid it from everybody. When I heard the news, I felt like I had lost everything.
Just imagine, a very lively guy laying in a grave.

So, here's the surprise everyone's been waiting for. I haven't heard from Luke since I left New York. He didn't call. He doesn't pick my calls.

Johnson told me that he was still in NY. So, that means I was being ignored on purpose.

My mom moved back two years ago and opened a diner in New York. I stayed back here because of work but I've been transferred to NY.

You're curious right?
Don't worry, I'm not into any illegal shit.

I'm a cop.
I know, it doesn't suit me.
But I didn't find anything else to fit in.

I'm kinda good at my job.
Not to brag but, I'm fantastic.
 

I've been transferred to New York to head a secret group called Canary.
It's kinda like preparing them to be like the CIA or FBI.

Canary would consist of young members of the police force who are ready to take on any mission. I was appointed to lead them cause I'm the best (•‿•).

I was also in charge of choosing my team members myself. Right now, I'm on a plane that's taking me back home.
Damn, I've missed NY.

Here's a plan.

I'm not going home straight. I'm gonna lodge in a hotel and explore NY.
Who am I kidding?
I've got no time!

Or do I?

------

As soon as I got checked out, I got into a taxi that drove me to the hotel.
I booked a room for a night and left to explore!

I headed to my mom's diner.
It's really beautiful.
It had that 90's vibe.
I walked inside and went straight to place my order.

"Welcome to Theresa's Diner. What would you like to order?"
A teenage guy asked me with a smile on his face.

Part-timer.

There were two more employees there but he looked the youngest.

"I'll just have coffee."

I paid him and as he reached to give me my change, I winked at him.
"Keep it cause I like the way you talk."

"Thank you." He smiled.

I went to an empty seat and awaited my order.

I've changed.
I have a much shorter hair now.
I have an edgy pixie with elongated bangs on my head now.
And I dyed it white.

I look beautiful.
I know.

The cute boy brought my order.
"Here's your coffee, I made it myself." He smiled.
"You're cute."

I picked up the cup after he left.
The coffee smelled really nice.

I had a sip and damn!
It was good.

I was about to gulp it down when I saw my mom approaching the front door.

Shit!

I brought my hoodie above my head and sank into my chair.
As soon as she entered her office, I sprinted out of the diner with people looking at me like the crazy woman I was.

I started laughing uncontrollably.
I feel like a teenager who doesn't want to get caught with her boyfriend.

Let's create some memories.
