The next day was my first day at university, I would have been really excited to finally achieving my dream, but I wasn't full of energy and confidant like I was expecting. My only friends in here are mentally damaged, they haven't said a word since yesterday......

Present Day
I hated to push myself to write, my mined went blank and in the same time full of voices and memories. Why was I putting salt to my wounds?
I go to the kitchen and put some water in the teapot, tea is the best way to clear my head.
As I wait for the water to boil I go back and sit on my desk, but this time to read my favorite book at this time 'Aleph' by Paulo Coelho "Your actions in the past is not what will affect the future. It's what you do in present that will heal the past and change the future." that was so beautiful to say and extremely right, but it was hard to achieve I guess the only person who can win in life is the person who collects the scattered pieces of his experiences and finally be completed.
I hear the whistle of the teapot and my thoughts are recollected.

2014 again
I didn't want to be lonely not here, not now and with everything is going on it feels like loneliness will be my friend. My first lecture was 'common law' I sit in one of the middle seats and students start to fill the room, I think it will be okay if I zoned out today there will be nothing important, just the same backgrounds about it. Our professor Mr. Frank seemed a very calm person and a smart one too, his introduction was something I will not forget ''Law for me is something that humans reached by religious, historic and knowledge. But because we are humans we are always pushed by our instincts and that is we like to change and we refuse to follow orders, that's why there is crimes and that's why there is more than one law that everyone submit to''.
The law of life that I refuse to submit to is I have to be my own hero.
I didn't want to go straight home after school, I'll have to be with quite Nina and Rose swimming in their trouble, I feel like a horrible person for not comforting them and be there for them, but I'm the kind of person who can be shocked for a long time.
I decide to go to that cake shop I went to the other day, I notice this time that the shop had a name Bauls what the hell that means? the inside is the same, but this time it's crowded and I hardly fined an empty table, I place my bag and books on the table and sit waiting for the waiter "hi what can I get you?" I look up and see the same guy that served me the last time "healthy, you came here the other day" he says with his kind smile "you remembered me, that's something doesn't happen to me" I say "well not everyday a beautiful girl comes soaked in water, asks for green tea no sugar and surprisingly drink it" he says making a fake thinking face
I laugh and say "yeah not likely, I'm Axal by the way"
"Max, pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is all mine, can you get me something you have that is full of chocolate and chocolate milkshake" nothing is better than chocolate calming your senses in these times
"now I'll have to give you another name" he says and write down the order.
Three minutes later and a dark brown piece of cake is in front me and a big glass of milkshake, it was the most amazing sweet that I've ever tasted and that's how I spent my hole day in Bauls shop till people started fading and the night came down "are you planing to clean with me or what?" Max says while I was sipping from my coffee that I ordered earlier "no I'm just kinda trying not to go home and you got tasty stuff in here" I say looking at him smiling
"ahh, you need someone to talk to" was I? yes my mined tells me.
Max sits with me on the table taking off his bow tie and flips his blond hair to the back "I can tell you are new here, in Chicago right"
"yeah, and since I came here things aren't going as I plane for it" I say not giving much information as I remember the threat of Anton
"what does go as we plan in this life?" he says shaking his head "I came here looking for my mother that my dad left, he told me that she cheated on him and that's why he took me and left the city to start a new life, I couldn't believe and I wanted to meet my mother when I found her she didn't recognize me and she didn't want to, she was happy with the family she had now"
I wasn't surprised he told me all that, the best people who you could talk to about your problems are strangers. "I'm really sorry about that, and I totally understand you, the worst thing is to feel rejected from the closest people" I say tracing my fingers at the cup
"whatever fuck that, I've met incredible people and I still do" he says pointing at me and I smile.
"God damn you Paul it looks amazing" I hear a voice and look up, two guys walk to the shop the one who talks wears a dark red shirt and blue jeans, he has a soft brown eyes the other was really tall with blue eyes and dark hair, he rolls his eyes as he throws his black leather jacket to a table "Axal this is Brandon Paul the owners of this shop, guys this is Axal" Max introduce, Brandon the one with brown eyes smiles and wave at me Paul just say a simple 'hi' and disappears in what I think is the kitchen "he's going through a breakup" Brandon says explaining
"You don't have to spread it in the news" Paul shouts from the kitchen
"I never liked Sara" Max says and I have to hide my laugh when Brandon glares at him
"So Axal, you live here in Chicago?" Brandon asks
"For now yeah, I go to Chicago law school. I'm planing to go back to NY after that" I actually want to go back right now if I could "what made you want to open this shop?, it's really amazing by the way" I say, "well thank you, I've met Paul in high school we became really good friends, collage wasn't our thing really so we decided to make a small business, and this what came out. Believe it or not all the recipes of the things here are by my grandma" Brandon says, now I get it Bauls was a combination between Paul and Brandon, but they really should change the name.
"God damn it, Lane broke the dishwasher again" we hear Paul screams and Max breaks into loud giggles and I join him when I see Paul covered in soap foam. "thank you guys for enduring my long sit here" I say and get up collecting my things, I pay the bell and say goodbye to what I suppose my new friends.
"Axal wait" I hear Max and I stop walking "we are taking Paul to the movies and stuff it's kinda a guys night, but your welcome to join" he says and I smile at his nice offer "I would love to, but I have somewhere to be" I say without thinking, but I know where I wanna go.
