chapter 14🎀

ELIZA'S POV ( EXTREMELY SHORT)

I had finished my starbucks as i was pulling up to cafe, it was 12:50 and i saw madi's car, she was always early.

I got out of my car  and walked inside of the cafe.

MADI'S POV.

I was sat inside of the cafe and i was meant to be meeting eliza in around 10 minutes, my foot was tapping as i was nervous.

I wasn't expecting her to be early, but to my surprise, she was.

I felt this feeling in my stomach when i saw her, it's been like 3 years and she stopped speaking to us all after around 2 and a half years of her being gone.

I felt happy that i was seeing her but also angry, no not angry. furious at her.

she looked over at me and smiled and i smiled back, "madi! hello" she says walking over opening her arms for a hug and i hug her back, "eliza, hey how are you?" i ask,
"i'm good thanks how are you" she says,
"i'm good" i reply.

after around 5 minutes of small talk a waiter comes up to us, "hello, are you ready to order?"

"uhm yeah can i please have the tuna melt please and some sweet potato fries?" eliza orders and she looks at me saying it was my turn to order without saying.

"can i please get the sweet chilli chicken sandwich and some chips?" i say and he nods writing it down,
"any drinks?" he asks

"can have the iced caramel coffee please?" i reply and he nods also writing it down,
"me too please" eliza adds and he nods

"okay so, two caramel iced coffees, a sweet chilli chicken sandwich with normal fries and a tuna melt with sweet potato fries?" the waiter says as he checks our order and we both nod and he walks away.

"you can ask me any questions madi, i want to make things right with you" eliza finally speaks up, i felt bad from being moody with her yesterday but she deserves it.

"i know, and i am" i say, "why did you promise you would keep in contact with us and then stopped speaking to us about 6 months after you left?"

she hesitates to speak, "well, i thought it would be better for chris-" and i cut her off,
"yeah for chris, not for us"

she opens her mouth, unsure of what to say next.
"i know madi, it was really bitchy of me but by the time i realised that it was like a year after i left and i wasn't going to message you all out of the blue because you have all moved on"

it physically hurts me to hear her say she didn't want to message us because we had moved on, i put my hand on top of hers and smile "i know i shouldn't be forgiving you this easily but it's hard not to when we were best friends for years, but yes it was bitchy of you" i say and she laughs and then smiles.

"i'm honestly really sorry madi" eliza says after abour a couple of seconds as silence, "i know everything won't be the same and that-" i cut her off,

"you're rambling" i laugh, "i know it won't be the same straight away but in about a week it will be like you never left"

"except i did leave, i let two dickheads make me leave my best friends. and i hate myself for that" eliza says putting her head in her hands

"eliza,stop. " i say, "i know you can't change the past but you're here now and that's all what matters"

and she just smiles at me, "how could've i ever left you is beyond me" she laughs and i laugh too.

oh my gosh, i didn't realise how much i missed eliza. it felt so good to have her back in my life.

our food came and we ate it, it was so good

ELIZA'S POV

i'm so happy madi isn't being off with me anymore, i knew how much i missed her but i didn't realise it was THIS much.

When she started speaking to again it felt like a weight had been lifted off my soldiers,
"oh my gosh, guess who i saw earlier" i say and madi looks at me, "who?"

"camille flores" i reply and her eyes widen,
"no way! where?" she says

"she works at the starbucks down the road, i went to get one because i was thirsty and hungry and she gave me her phone number" i shrug

"let's start going to starbucks, i missed her" madi laughs.

I pull out my phone and take a photo of madi.

We paid the bill and we went to our cars,
"i'll message you when i get back" i say and madi nods, "of course!"

I wave goodbye and get in my car, i open instagram and post the pictures.
