It Should Be Simple

Chapter 1 (The Discovery)

"Amber!" I looked up from my laptop when my mother called me. "Yeah?!" "Get your bottom down here! You're gonna be late!" I groaned. "Be right down," I muttered.

When I got downstairs my mom was already set to go. Her mittens were on, her scarf wrapped tightly around her neck. There was no doubt about it, my mother was beautiful, she just didn't care.

I was wearing my usual black golf t-shirt and black pants. It was part of my Tim Hortons uniform. I am forced to wear this almost everyday, but I don't mind. After being in the cold for hours on end, I love to be able to come into the hot coffee shop and just relax.

Plus, it isn't too bad working at Tim's it's actually fun. All my co-workers are the nicest, my boss even let my best friend, Olivia Taylor, have the same shifts as me.

I was working the front counter today, and that's when he came in. My ex, Ben, just couldn't stay away. We started dating years ago, and for some reason he always comes back.
Our relationships usually end with me in tears and him with another woman, he just can't be tied down.

He came up to the counter, "A dark roast, Amb," he said and winked at me. I rolled my eyes, he only came in here when he wanted to get back together, and I knew his game by now. "Dark roast!" I yelled into the kitchen. I turned back to Ben. "Now, is there anything else I can get for you?" He sighed, "Look, I know I've messed up before but, I want you back." I snorted, "Oh really? Because I'm pretty sure you've cheated on me at least ten times, I stopped counting. So if you REALLY want me back, you have to show me you mean it." "Tell me what to do." That took me by surprise, he usually didn't say something like that. "Go to the mall, and confess your love for me in front of EVERYONE."

"Fine." He turned around and walked outside, got in his car, and drove away.

---------------------
He didn't come back, and my mother was working late so Olivia dropped me off at home. I decided to look in the box in my parents bedroom where they kept my birth certificate, passport, and other important documents.

I opened the closet door and looked inside, my parents had obviously moved the box, since it wasn't in it's usual spot, but I found it.

When I opened the lid, I found a new document I'd never noticed before. I picked it up and read it.
