Rosalinda's POV

It had been two weeks since I had found out the heart aching truth about Justin. I had spent those two weeks led in my bed, and working.

I decided the best thing to do was put my feelings aside and become emotionless for a while, I was wrong. I had spent countless nights crying to a playlist I had made on my phone that made me think of Justin.

My elbows rested on the counter of the diner I worked in, my hands held my head up as I stared at people eating their dinner.

There were a lot of college students and their families in tonight, it was the open evenings for colleges in Albuquerque.

Fortunately for me, I was going to catch a plane tonight to New York City so I could view the job offer I wanted.

I was happy to take a trip away, on my own and not think about anything else. I found myself drifting off into thoughts of Justin, the way his brown eyes sparkled and lit up under sunlight or moonlight.

The way his brown hair fell over his eyes when it wasn't gelled, the way his jaw would clench and unclench on its own.

"Rosie" I jumped at the sound of my name being called. I stood up straight flattening out the apron tied around my waist.

"Hm?" I shook my head slightly to bring myself back to reality.

My grandmother was stood at the counter in front of me, a sad sympathising expression on her face. I had told her things were not going good with Justin, obviously she didn't know the full story of my distress.

"I've come to drive you to the airport, sweetheart" My grandmother gave me a small smile.

I nodded to her pulling my apron from my body and making my way into the back room to hang it up. Riley was sat at the staff table eating for her break.

"You're going to New York now?" she asks me as her eyes look up to meet my sad ones.

"Yeah, I'll be back in three days, I'm staying there for a few nights" I tell her, pulling on my black bomber jacket. I pick up my tiny suitcase that I left behind the door ready for the flight.

"I hope you like the company, have a safe flight" Riley tells me standing up, engulfing me into a hug. Tears prick to my eyes feeling the comfort in her hug, I wrap my arms round her burying my face into her shoulder.


I yawned at myself in the mirror as I stared at the dress I was wearing. I had only arrived at my hotel in New York City 20 minutes ago.

But I needed to get ready for the opening evening for New York University which we're offering an evening of job applications for graduated students, like myself.

I had on a black leather skirt it reached just above midthigh. I also had on a silk silvery long sleeved top to add some warmth. I sighed to myself, it's the best I could do.
