Chapter 25

Subject: Change

People say that change is a good thing. But all they’re saying is something you didn’t want to happen, happened. My store closed last week. I own a store. Did I ever tell you that? It’s a lovely store and when time passes it will be something really depressing. It already is, actually. Soon it will just be a memory. In fact, some foolish person will probably think that it’s a tribute to this city. The way it keeps changing on you and the way you can never count on it or something. I know because that’s the sort of thing I’m always saying. But the truth is I’m heartbroken. I feel as if a part of me has died and my mother has died all over again. And no one could ever make it right.

I finished typing my latest email to GB152. I put my laptop on my night stand and sat back down on my bed. It’s been a week since the bakery closed. My dad told me that he sold it to someone that has good intentions for it. I wasn’t that mad at him anymore, but I didn’t smile at the news either.

 Taylor and I have talked dozens of times on the phone. After the first call, she never mentioned anything about the bakery or my mom. She told me everything that happened to her in the past few days. She and Harry went out on a date. I thought they would get along but turns out the opposite happened. They’re still friends but won’t become anything more anytime soon. It feels good to just talk about other people’s drama and things like shopping, friends and music.

I haven’t talked to the guys yet. I didn’t make an effort to. I just didn’t feel like facing them at the moment. Well, I didn’t feeling like facing Liam. Yes, I’m still mad at him. I can’t forgive him that easily.

I just got rid of the cold I have and wanted to get out of the house. I decided to get up and have some fun. I changed into jeans and a shirt. I put on my sneakers and went downstairs. I put my jacket on and grabbed my bag then headed out the door. It was definitely springtime now. Almost all the snow has melted and the grass is slowly growing back. The leaves and flowers, too.

I walked a few blocks down to my favorite diner to have brunch. I opened the door to get inside and let the fresh smell of eggs and bacon hit me. It wasn’t rush hour yet so there weren’t a lot of people in the diner. I sat down at a corner booth and studied the menu.

“What will it be, darlin’?” A waitress, in her mid thirties, asked me in her Texan accent.

I smiled at her and said, “I’ll have the Chicken breakfast burrito with a side of hash browns, please.”

“What will you have to drink?” She asked as she wrote my order down on her notepad.

“I’ll have a fruit smoothie.” I said after I looked at the menu again.

“Anything else?” She asked me.

“Uh.” I looked at the menu again to check what else I wanted to eat. “No, nothing else. Thank you.”

“I’ll be right back with your meal.” She smiled at me warmly before she went to the counter to give my order to the cook. She came back with my smoothie. I thanked her and pulled the glass closer to me. I took the straw and stirred it around smoothie.
