I really wanted to try to have more than this written before updating, but I literally just finished writing Chapter 142, and was so happy with it, I wanted to get it up.
Hope you enjoy the update! Please rate and review. :)
Chapter 141: Aaron's Request
Once Zak and I arrived at the "Eiffel Tower Restaurant", we headed inside and checked in with the maître d and he took us to one of the round circular booths that overlooked the Bellagio Fountains.
The restaurant was gorgeous, decorated in black, red and white colours, and had a combination of tables and circular booths. It was dimly lit inside – as there was plenty of light coming from the Las Vegas Strip via the large floor to ceiling windows.
It definitely gave off a date night vibe.

I had been texting with Cheryl on the way to the restaurant, so I knew she and Aaron hadn't arrived yet. Once Zak and I were seated in one of the circular booths, I texted Cheryl to let her know we had arrived.
Within a minute or two, Cheryl and Aaron were directed to our table, and Zak and I stood up to greet them.
"Hey Munckin!" Aaron said cheerfully, smiling as he gave me a hug. "So good to see ya!" Aaron added.
I laughed at him referring to me by his nickname for me, and hugged him back.
"Good to see you too," I replied, smiling at him as I pulled back.
I turned to Cheryl, who was just pulling back from a hug with Zak, and we both smiled at each other.
"You look fantastic!" Cheryl exclaimed, before embracing me in a tight hug.
"So do you! I love your dress," I said, hugging her back.
Cheryl was wearing an olive green, knee length dress with a black coat over it. Aaron was dressed up in a dark grey suit.
It felt great to see them again.
Zak and I hadn't seen them in a while, and we didn't see much of each other during my recovery either, mainly due to my depression.
I realized in that moment that I had missed Cheryl a great deal.
Our friendship had changed immensely since my accident.
When I woke up from my coma, the first time I saw Cheryl had been overwhelming. She had been so afraid she had lost me, and she ended up going on with one her of fast spoken speeches she often did when she became upset and emotional.
She started by saying she was sorry for not having been the type of friend that I deserved, and that if I never wanted to see her again, she would understand. I responded in confusion, asking what she was talking about. She explained that she realized – with a great amount of guilt that it had taken a near death experience for her to come to the realization – that she shouldn't have been so hard on me all the time about the way I was. She felt horrible that she had always been pressuring me to do or say things when I was uncomfortable, and for pushing me to dress in a certain way. I tried to tell her that it was okay - seeing how distressed she was - but she insisted that it wasn't. She said that she never meant to hurt me, or come across as judgmental. It was just her way of trying to help me to be more confident, but she realized the error of her ways, and said she should have been more supportive.
