Y/N POV

"Hey y/n can you get table 10 for me I have to take a quick call" Sofia's curls bouncing as she rushes past me "I'm on it" I reply

It's been a month since I moved away from jungkook and as much as I'm trying to get into a routine the pain still lingers. I'm not a secretary anymore and I work as a waitress because finding a job is a pain in the ass and not easy but luckily I landed this job on accident actually.

Sofia my current boss is extremely sweet she's lovely and an god sent angel I swear, I bumped into her on my way into this city on the train she was on the same train, Ide been crying on my train journey and Sofia spotted me.

"Hey do you mind if I sit with you" she said

I wipe my tears away with the sleeve of my hoodie aggressively and nod my head she sighs and sits next to me.

The entire time on the way into the city Sofia tells me abt why she's on the train and where she's coming from "you see I visit my parents every once a month, or we'll I try too because of how much I have to travel and I own a restaurant and it's rlly hard to go away and leave someone else in charge whilst on leave" she babbles about all sorts and she didn't pry into why I was balling my eyes out on a train but the moment I locked eyes with her, there's something I saw in her eyes.

They were kind and loving and she just babbled and talked about all sorts and honestly I was grateful for the company, it was really nice.

"You know, you should visit my restaurant some time" her eyes are glinted with excitement

From that journey back I told her I was new to the city and she offered to take me on a tour whenever she's free from work and to pop down to her restaurant and so I did, after finding my new apartment I called her up, she handed her number to me and I met up at her restaurant where she was very panicky.

The restaurant was busy and bustling with a beautiful aroma and great atmosphere but for the first time I realised sofia was panicking I quickly asked her what was wrong and if everything was alright, it was a Friday night and it was extremely busy and she was really short staffed so I offered to work and help her out. At first she didn't want me to but I was persistent and after some nagging she agreed.

I quickly made my way and helped out where I could and by the end of the night she offered me a job and I accepted and since then I've worked for her.

I make my way to table 10 and it's a table for 2, a happy couple both grinning with delight having a heartfelt conversation, his hand is over hers on the table and he's softly brushing his fingers over her knuckles. They look great together.

"Hello I'm y/n I'll be your server tonight, are you ready for me to take your order" I say with a smile.

They both turn to look at me and proceed with the order.

I note down their order and offer them drinks to begin, I glance at the clock 3 more hours to go.

I sit outside on door step of the restaurant and wait for Sofia to lock up. She walks out and locks the door and I get up and start walking. "Thank you for waiting for me"

"Not a problem" i say with a small smile

She walks with me and hooks her arm with mine

"Busy night tonight, what do you have planned now that your free" she says

"Probably sleep"

"Why don't you have a drink at my place" she says with a smile

I shake my head "no thank you not tonight"

"You've been saying that for weeks" she rolls her eyes

"I don't drink" I say finally, "oh I'm sorry I didn't know"

"That's okay, I didn't tell you not your fault"

We walk in a comfortable silence she doesn't pry or question things and I'm honestly grateful for her, I can tell she cares about me which is really sweet I guess I need someone like her in my life, honestly I probably would have spiralled if she didn't give me company on that train. I can't imagine what Poor decisions I would have made if she didn't.

"Wanna come to my place instead but not for a drink, maybe some coffee"

"That sounds good, Ide like that"

Company and coffee sounds good to me

Her keys jingle in front of her house door, she places the key in the keyhole and turns it, unlocking the door for us. She walks in first and turns the lights on, it's the first time I've been to her place before and I'm honestly welcomed with a lovely scent, jasmine maybe?

Walking in I take out my leather jacket and hang it up on her coat hanger stand. She makes her way around and says "sorry about the mess, my brother seems to have made himself welcome today" a hint of annoyance in her voice most likely from how he's left things lying around like trash.

She points over to the couches "make yourself at home baby girl, there's the remote for the TV on the coffee table" she walks off and probably into the kitchen.

I sit on the couch and take my phone out of my pocket. I notice a text message from an unknown number, I unlock the phone and read the text

' y/n please come back, I love you'

Reading the message rips the bandaid off the wound and my eyes well up with tears, I know all too well who texted now

"Hey is everything okay" Sofia says concerned as she places two cups of steaming coffee on the coffee table, she sits down and I calmly take a breath.

I should tell Sofia, but what if she judges me? Sofia would never judge you I smack myself internally

" I want to tell you something" I say clasping my hands together struggling with the emotions swirling around in me

I tell Sofia everything from the time Jungkook takes me home and saves me to working from him and from Naomi coming into the picture and my history and not wanting it to repeat itself and leaving because of Naomi and her threats and her baby scan to how I left everything I cared for behind.

Sofia listens the entire time and holds my hand to comfort me as in telling her everything, she has a melancholy look on her face and once I'm done talking she pulls me into a big hug.

I take in her scent and snuggle my face in the crook of her neck and let the tears fall freely, I cry for the first time since the train, I've been holding everything in for so long and I've been distracting myself from this mess with work and sleep and I feel and look like a zombie, I don't feel like me.

I don't wanna be this person anymore why does everything have to be so complicated. Sofia has become a special part of my life and I could never repay her for all the kindness she has done for me.

She softly pats my back and rocks us as I cry and cry whilst I hug her and sure enough I pass out from exhaustion.
