Ela's pov

I walk down from the stage. Getting a drink "hi can i get a Cola ?" I say to the bartender. He just nodded his head and handed me my cola. I sat on the chair drinking. "Ela hi" I turn around. " Oh hello" I say "God have I even told you my name?" He asks. I shake my head. "It's Bill I'm sorry I didn't even think" I smile at him. "Well nice to meet you I'm Ela" I say knowing he knew. He looks at my drink. "Your are just like my brother, I can't even belive how people can drink that, it's just so sweet" He says at my drink. "Yeah I was really thirsty" I say. "Oh you should totally meet Tom" He says excited. Now who the fuck is Tom? "I'm sorry I know I'm very random" he says. "No it's ok" I say smiling at him. "Well let me invite you for a drink sometimes" "I don't drink"
"Oh I could never" "Yeah well I'm sixteen so I can't anyway" He looks shocked." You are sixteen?" "Yeah" "Woah I would not expect a sixteen year old in a pub like this" He says looking around. I really don't know what to say to that. What am I supposed to trauma dump him about how I ran away, probably not. "Well what about Breakfast" "tomorrow?" He asks hopefully. "I'm sorry but I have work" I say back. "Oh don't worry I can make that work" He says as if he just created the best plan ever. Before I could even say anything. "Oh sorry i have to go" "see you tomorrow" he says running off. Well that was definitely not normal.

Next day

Once again my usual morning routine, work. I get there and see Michael. "Hey look who is on time" he says smiling. "Yeah I know please give me an applause"
I say jokingly.

After about twenty minutes I see Bill walking in with Nick. When Bill sees me he smiles, Nick staring as usual.
"I'm taking twenty minute break Michael" I yell at him, Michael just nodded his head. "So this is your "I can make if work"?" I ask Bill. "You know it" " so can you take a break ?" " Yeah" " amazing" he says smiling. "So do you want to just be here or walk around?" He asks. " Yeah we can walk around a little, let me just get my jacket"

I get back to them "oh I almost forgot, this is my brother Tom" wait what, Tom? "Oh yeah, Hey nice to meet you Tom , im Ela" "nice to meet you too Ela" He says. I'm just going to ignore the fact he put a fake name on his coffee cup for 2 weeks straight. There's definitely a reason he did that, maybe he just got the coffee for his friend.

Tom's pov

Why did I do that? Simple. I didn't want Shannon girl to know my real name. I also never said Nick was my name, I could have been getting that coffee for a friend. However I'm sure Ela is confused but to my surprise she went with it. As we walk around for a few minutes Bill and Ela are talking about literally everything, I feel like a third weel. But seeing Bill finally having a friend was nice. He looked happy. Suddenly Bill's phone rings. "Oh sorry I have to take this he says walking away. There is an awkward silence between me and Ela, until. "So Tom" she says emphasising my name. I just look at her knowing exactly what she wants to ask. " I didn't want Shannon to know my real name" "who's Shannon?" She asks. "the girl you work with ?" "Sharon?" "I was close" "sure" she said laughing. Oh ok that laugh definitely just did something to me.

Bill's pov

When I saw them talking.
My call already ended but I stayed pretending to be still calling. Tom looked at her like he just saw the love of his life while she was laughing. So cute and so not Tom like. If I had to describe Tom and his love or more of a sex life I would say "man whore" Look I love him to death bit he is incapable of staying with one woman. I walked back to them "so what's so funny?" I ask them "oh nothing" Tom replies. Oh ok Tom whatever.

Ela's pov

When Bill came back I realised that I should probably be going back. "Well it was nice getting to know you, but I have to get back" i said looking at my watches. "Right it was so nice we should definitely do this again" said Bill. "Oh can I get your number so I can text you?" Says Bill. "Yeah sure" I replied and gave him my number. "Alright bye see you" "Bye" both of them replied.

I get back to the shop." Sooo who was that?" Asks Michael. "Just some new friends" I say. "Well that's good finally someone other than me" he says "woah do you not like me ?" I say acting offended. " Ela, I literally love you, just I shouldn't be the only one" I just smile at him, I know he wants the best for me. I mean he literally let me live in his dorm until I could get that little apartment of mine and even that he helped me pay for, I basically owe him my life.
