Shannon POV
Fuck, i'm so late, where is my Uber.
i was due at an event in 30 minutes, but my Uber was nowhere to be seen, and it takes 40 minutes to get there.
As if i wasn't stressed enough because i arrived late, i almost dropped my glass when i saw cari out of the corner of my eye.
I hadn't recovered from seeing Bobby yesterday yet, now i have to see another Fletcher?
What are the chances of bumping into two Fletcher's in the space of 48 hours.
I was mid conversation so i tried to ignore her, but i couldn't help but glance over to her every once in a while.
I was at this event alone, so i had no one to escape to, which meant i had to keep myself busy by ensuring i was talking to someone all the time.
It was a big event so this wasn't hard, but all i could think about was the fact that cari was in the same place that i was.
Luckily, it was a lunch event, so there wasn't much mingling to be done. Once we were seated we stayed that way, and I was luckily seated no where near Cari.
All evening my mind was all over the place. I knew that Cari had noticed me, but i we both tried to ignore each other.
It wasn't that Cari and I ended badly, it was just that when we broke up i completely cut her out of my life. It was easier that way. I loved her so much and i knew if i could ever have the chance of moving on and getting over her, i had to cut her off.
Cari was the love of my life. She still is. I have thought about her every day for the past few years since we split. I knew there would be a day where i would have to see her, but i never thought it would be today
Cari POV:
fuck, what the hell is she doing here
I was mid conversation when i caught eyes with Shannon. Neither of us held it very long, i ducked my head and went back to my conversation.
I quickly escaped from that conversation and hid in the toilets for a brief minute to collect myself.
Flashback to 6 months after the breakup:
"Alex what the fuck am i doing. This is so dumb"
"just call her" alex replied
"no, i broke up with her, that isn't fair to her. I knew what i was doing, i knew it would be hard"
"then stop moping around! you can't stay that you knew what you were doing yet continue to complain about it"
...
if I didn't have alex i dont know what i would of done. After the breakup I was a mess. I knew i had to end things with shannon in order to learn things about myself, but i never stopped loving her.
Shannon POV:
Finally the event was over. I was debating whether i should talk to Cari or not, but i didn't know what i would say to her.
I decided to just call an Uber and head out
10 minutes later my uber, or what i thought was my Uber, was here
"Who are you here for" i said to the man
"uber for Cari Fletcher?" he replied
"that would be me" a voice said from behind me
