Chapter Nine- All's Well that Ends Well
Lucy was lost in her own thoughts as she walked inside, and at first she didn't notice Simon sitting on the steps.
"Luce." He said softly, not wanting to startle her.
"Oh, hey Simon."
"Listen, I'm sorry for the way I acted towards you today. I've been thinking about things all night. I was really mean to Jennifer, and I shouldn't have been. She's been through a lot, having to work all the time. I should have been there for her but I wasn't." Lucy could tell her brother was being hard on himself, and she hugged him.
"It's okay Simon, I forgive you. And I'm sure Jennifer will too."
"I'm not so sure."
"Well, why don't we find out so you can sleep better tonight," Lucy said, holding up her car keys.
"Thanks Luce." Simon said as they walked out the door.
Simon opened the door to the Diner. It was 11:58, two minutes before closing. Lucy said she would wait in her car. Mr. Fredrickson walked in from the kitchen.
"Simon, we close in 2 minutes, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I came to talk to Jennifer if I could, is she still here?"
"She's in the back doing the dishes, your welcome to join her." he said grumpily as he went back to sweeping. Simon went through the doors and saw Jennifer leaning over the sink towards the back of the kitchen. She turned around when she heard the door shut.
"Simon, what...what are you doing here?" Jennifer said, drying her hands on her apron.
"I just wanted to tell you that.... Well I wanted to..." he walked closer to her, "I'm sorry for today and, well, I don't have to work, so I don't know how hard it is. It's not your fault two people quit and you had to cover. I should have been more considerate." He looked at Jennifer with a weak smile on his face, and continued, "You have always been a great friend to me, and a great person. You didn't deserve what I did to you today. I hope we can still be friends." Jen had tears in her eyes as he finished.
"Thank you Simon, that was the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." She said, then she hugged him. He couldn't believe she was hugging him, "and of course, I forgive you."
"So, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Simon said, with his arms still around her, looking into her eyes.
"Yeah, wanna meet up for lunch?" She asked, looking straight into his beautiful gray/blue eyes.
"Yes." He said, his hand slowly stroking her cheek.
Simon let her go and walked out, smiling.
*********************************************************************** Another nice, short chapter. Those of you that read the old one may find that familiar, I changed alittle bit of it though. Sorry for the short chapters, there will prob be one more before I get to the big ones again. Please keep the reviews coming!!!
