Chapter 8

-the real one-

It's been 3 years since I'm feeling this emotion. The sadness, loneliness, the feeling that you lost someone you truly love. In that three years I started my own business. It's a coffee shop, me and my mom dream about this. Im happy about it that I started the business but I'm still lonely and sad about something or someone that I don't know.

Did mom leave this to me? Since when did I have this necklace? I ask my self. I don't remember the day I bought this necklace or give it to me by someone. The pendant is letter P and I don't know anyone who's start their name in letters P.

There was a time that after work I'm going home just to lay in my bed and cry. I keep pretending that Im happy but when I go home the heaviness in my chest is unbearable. I tried everything to make myself happy. I tried also the therapist as Nicky said. But they just give me some pills and it's not affective at all.

This night Im laying in my bed I look like a paper that crippled in bed to just stop myself. Holding tightly the fabric of my shirt in the chest part. Im crying and sobbing.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Why Im I feeling this?"

Those are the questions that I keep asking myself repeatedly. I force myself to get up and get the pills that doctor recommended to me.

As I drink the pills, I feel my body loosen up a little bit. I lay again as the tears crawling down in my cheeks. I feel sleepy now.

[Nicky I told you I don't want to come. Im busy] Im talking to Nicky through phone, she wants me to go with her to bar but I don't like the idea. Because I'm not in the mood

[you know, you need help yourself too. Im getting worried that you're not happy anymore. Don't deny it because I know] she said

[I know but I cant. Im not in the mood Nicky and Im glad that you're my friend Nick. And Im sorry that Im making you worried. I need to go we have customer] I ended the call as I wear the smile that customer want to greet them.

"What table is this?" I ask the barista.

"Table 3" she said. I get a trey and get the coffee mug start walking.

As I walk the kid run in front of me and causing me to tripped and spilled the coffee that Im gonna serve.

"Fuck! What the hell?!" I saw a woman stand up quickly because the coffee I spilled landed on her.

"Fuck Im sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spilled it to you" I said while I gather the broken pieces of the mug.

"Im sorry too I didn't mean to yell at you. I just got worried that my laptop will get broken, Im writing a story so I need to save it" she kneeled and start to help me to pick the pieces.

"Oh no, please let me do it" I finally look at the woman who's helping me. I feel my body froze like I'm paralyzed

I look at her blue ocean eyes. Her hair was messy bun and she's wearing this thin glass that you can use when you're facing the computer.

The tears that I'm saving for later is now crawling down in my cheeks, the sadness that I'm feeling is right here. I can't stop myself. Im crying again.

"Oh my god! Are you okay? Did you need something? Hey" She's asking me a question but my brain can't focus on it. I was too focused that I saw her, I feel that she's the missing piece inside of me. I don't know her but why Am I have feeling like this?

All I can do is hug her. Hug her tightly. She just hugged me back because didn't know what to do

After we hug she let me sit with her.

"Are you okay?" She ask

"Yeah, yeah. I just... yeah I'm okay" that's all I can say because I can't explain why I acted like that.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Im sorry that I closely destroy your computer" I said.

"Nah. Don't mind it. What's your name by the way?" She ask.

"Alex. Alex Vause" I replied.

"Im Piper Elizabeth Chapman. Im a writer"

"Pipes" That's the first word I say as she said her name. My heart is pounding.

"Coming with nicknames are we? Well all my friends call me Eli but pipes or piper is okay" she smile at me.

"Can I hug you again?" She looked at me confused but she agreed with that.

We hug. It was a warm hug, the hug that I'm craving.

And for the first time in 3 years. I smiled knowing it's not a fake one but THE REAL ONE.

The end.
