Night of the breakup
You sat on the bed looking at all the mess in the bedroom. The ripped napkin, rose petals, movie tickets you couldn't look at them they gave you so many good memories but knowing that they were all fake made it hurt.
After sitting there crying for god knows how long you really wanted to talk to someone, to bad you didn't know many people. You thought about going to Chris but you guys weren't really in that stage where you could talk about your feelings.
Who else do I know in this town. Juliana!
You decided to go and talk to her she has always given you good advice in life.
You put your hair up in bun. You wore some shorts and a big gray hoodie. You put on you sandals and walk out the house. The cold wind blowing on you knees as you start walking it was a bit late and you didn't know if Juliana was awake but you had to talk to her.
You start walking following the red stones, it was quite hard seeing them because of the dark but you got to her house safely.
You take a deep breath and knock "please be awake please be awake" you whisper to yourself
"Who is it?" You hear Juliana ask before she opens the door
"Hey Juliana it's me Y/n, can I talk to you?" You said in a shaky cry voice
"Y/n?" She opens the door "oh my angel what's wrong, why are you out in the cold? Come in" she lets you in the house. You walk in with glossy eyes and bubbly voice.
"What's wrong?" Juliana asks. She quickly gets you a glass of water.
"Thank you" you whisper.
"Now tell me, what's wrong" she says
"Me and James broke up" you cry in her arms.
She was clearly surprised because she didn't know who the real James was, she only knew of Chris.
"What why? you guys were fine at dinner" Juliana comforts you
"That wasn't James" you try catching your breath "it was Chris he's a friend of mine he and I were talking and ended up outside your house. I was going to explain that it was whole misunderstanding-" you cry in her arms.
"Y/n you don't have to explain anything, it's okay" she says
"What's all this cry-" Mario sees you crying
Juliana waves her hand, telling him to go, he sneaks away back in to the bedroom.
"He never loved me. I'm so stupid for believing in him-"
"Hey hey your not stupid you are the bravest girl I know, moving here alone by yourself. It's not easy but you did. I'm so proud of you" she hugs you tight "you don't need this James guy"
"Your right"
After you were done crying and you felt better you and Juliana talked about something fun.
"So the man that came to eat at are house was not James but someone else?" She try's to understand
"Yes that was Chris he and I are just friends tho" you tell her
"Just friends? Y/n I wasn't lying when I said that he is in love with you" Juliana admit "the way he looks at you it's-"
"I don't care how he looks at me I'm not ready to date yet. I really need to know what is real and what is fake" you say
"Of course just do what's best for you" she says giving you another hug.
"Oh my good it's 2 o'clock. I'm sorry I didn't know, I should get going" you quickly stand up
"No no no I'm not letting you walk back home alone your staying here. I'll bring you some pillows and a blanket" she says
"No I couldn't-" she cuts you off
"I don't care your staying" she instead
"Thank you" you give her a thin smile.
You lay on the couch as you fall asleep.
Morning
-Mario and Juliana's house
You wake up to the sunlight on you face you sit up seeing the door to the garden open. You walk out to see Juliana and Mario setting the table for breakfast.
"Smells good" you compliment
"Ohh Buon giorno (good morning)" Mario walks up to you giving you a hug "you sleep well?"
"Mhm" you hum you walk over to Juliana "can I help you with anything?" You say trying to be helpful.
"Yeah can you pick out some peaches" she points at a big tree in there garden, she hands yous basket.
You walk over to the tree trying to figure out how your gonna get up there, you aren't the tallest person.
You see an old kinda moody ladder. You put it up against the tree as you start climbing up. "Okay don't look down" you say to yourself staying calm.
You picked a few peaches as you look down "oh shit, it's not that high up" you say taking small steps down. You stepped on moldy step causing it break and you fall, you close your eyes ready for what's going to happen. This is how I'll die.
You felt a strong body catch your fall.
You eyes were still shut as you open one eye
"Chris?" You look surprised yet thankful that he caught you.
"You have to be careful" he says gently placing you down on the grass.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh I forgot the keys to my truck, just came to get them back" he answers. "What about you" he asks
"Long story" you let out a nervous laugh "thanks for saving me there I thought I was going to die"
"Yeah no problem" Chris looks in your eyes
"I should get going" he says holding on to his keys.
"I'll walk you out" you answer walking with him
"Did you find your keys, James?" Mario asks not knowing the truth
"oh no this is Chris" you correct him
"Chris are you leaving? Please have breakfast with us" Julian suggests. You had told her about the whole Chris, James situation.
"Oh no It's okay you guys eat" he says
You hold on to his hand "it's rude to decline such an offer" you give him a smile, you drag him out in the garden.
You four sit in the green sunny garden eating breakfast
