Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

Chapter 6

Tears are words that need to be written.” ― Paulo Coelho

Faiths POV

"Muy bien niños eso será todo por hoy. Te veo pronto!" I said. (Alright childrens that's all for today. See you soon!).

I was packing my things when I feel a tug at my skirt. I looked down and saw it was one of my students.

I knelt down to her height. "Hice esto para ti, señora Faith!" She said while giving me a drawing. (I made this for you, Ms Faith.)

"Gracias querida, es hermosa." I said to her while playing with her hair. She smiled and left. (Thank you darling, it's beautiful.)

I left the orphanage and made my way to the diner.

*30 minutes later*

I entered the diner expecting to see Morty and Amelia preparing the diner, but instead I saw Morty sobbing while Amelia was trying to calm him down.

"What happened?" I asked

"My wife's dream, Josefina's dream. It's gonna be all gone. All the difficult steps we've been through it's gonna go down to waste." He cried out and sobbed more.

"Someone bought this land from us and if we don't pay them we would lose this diner." She said.

"What? Is that even allowed?" I asked.

"I don't know. But what we do know is that he is a very powerful person. We have to pay them 2.500.000 euros. 2 and a half million euros. That's more than what we make in 2 years." Morty said.

"Do you know who is this person?" I asked. He just sobbed.

"Dad please say something to us." Amelia pleaded.

"I don't know who is his name but he owns an online class company name key smart." He said.

I froze. Key smart. That's Andrew's company. I looked at Amelia and she have the same horrified look as me.

'I'll have to do this another way.' This is what he meant, he's blackmailing me into talking to him.

"Excuse us one moment, Dad." She excused and pulled me into a corner.

"What are we gonna do?" She asked worriedly.

"This is what he meant." I told her. She looked at me confused. "This what he meant by finding another way to talk to me. He's blackmailing me into talking to him." I explained.

"Oh god. Oh god! This is bad. This is really really bad." She said panicking. "What are we going to do?" She asked again.

"There's only one way." I told her. She looked at me confused but for a few seconds she realize what I was talking about.

"You're not thinking about meeting to him are you?" She questions. "What other choice do I have Amelia?" I asked her. I pulled out my phone but was stopped by her hand.

"Look there's got to be another way to settle this." She said.

"Like what? You can't take a loan from the bank to pay him. Do you think the bank will give you money? You guys tried that before but got rejected." I said to her

"But you might get hurt again and what will happen to you?" She said.

"Amelia I cannot let your Mother's dream go down to waste. You an your father helped me in my toughest days here and I want to pay you guys back." I reasoned.

"Also when he close down this diner and I still reject him again from talking together, who or where will he target next?" I questioned. She stayed silent.
