Chapter 66
It was Naboo's idea to meet up with Julia here. He said that it be easier to get out of if I needed to.
I look around, taking in my surroundings. The diner looks like it's come straight out of the film Grease. I'm sitting in a booth, sipping at a glass of water, waiting. I suddenly regret making Howard and Naboo leave. They were reluctant, but I insisted. They told me about a million times to ring them if I needed to. I won't, of course.
Looking around, I try to find her. What if she doesn't come? What if she changes her mind? What if it was all some sick joke? What if…what if…? My mind begins to race, running through all the possible scenarios. All the things that could go wrong. There are so, so many terrible things that could happen. Even if she does turn up, it could still go horribly, horribly wrong. She could turn up just to tell me that she hates me and she never wants to see or speak to me ever again. I wouldn't blame her. It's my fault, I deserve it, it was all my fault. Everything. I should just go. I shouldn't put her through this. I shouldn't ruin her life all over again.
