You said you wouldn't

Chapter 9

So sorry for not updating for more than 2 weeks. College caught me up lol.

Reminder : inline comments are my favorite :)

Sia's POV :

"You sure you'd manage? "

Fay asked

"Yeah don't worry! I'll be back before 6 "

I assured her looking down at my wrist watch which indicated that I had less than 3 hours

After the little run down to my past, Aaron has helped me make lunch before Fay came back.

Fay and Aaron insisted that I ate with them but I knew

Justin wouldn't like that

So I convinced them that I wasn't hungry

And now Aaron was asleep while Fay was just.. Chilling in the living room... Like a normal college student.

I made my way out of the house adjusting the bag strips on my shoulder I was carrying in nervousness.
I was dressed in a light blue crop top with high waisted jeans and my only converse.

Okay.. You got this.

I told myself as I began walking.

It was a really peaceful and nice society in which Aaron lived.

It took me a little over 30 minutes to reach the busy streets of Boston

Looking around I observed how every individual on the street was trying to reach somewhere. How all of them were emerged into something. They had jobs, family.. a home to go to.

Where as I just stood in the middle not knowing what to do.

I felt my social anxiety creeping back.

I thought it was gone.

Well, Andrew made it go.

I always had him by my side.

But not anymore.

Now it was just me

Me against everything.. everyone

I felt my palms sweating as I continued to wipe them on the straps of my bag.

Taking deep breaths I tried controlling my uneven heartbeats

Am I really having a panic attack in the middle of a street?

I placed my hand on my stomach as I pushed my mind to think about my baby .

Everything I'm doing is for my baby

Cmon think about the baby

It made me control my breathing and made it somehow bearable as I resumed walking

I scanned through the streets looking for I don't know what exactly.

I just kept roaming around until I saw a sign on a cafe door and my steps halted

"Waitress needed"

Taking a sigh of relief I grabbed the door handle and pushed it open as a strong coffee aroma engulfed me immediately

Looking around I saw how cozy yet formal the environment was.

There were hardly any couples here, all I could see was either some men in what felt like a meeting or something or people engrossed in their laptops

No wonder why they need female servers precisely

Adjusting the straps on my shoulder once again I made my way towards the  counter , there sat a young man most likely to be in his early twenties
He had blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and a cute nose. He was dressed in a simple white tshirt and jeans with an apron over it that had the logo of the cafe
