I was afraid to go to work.

I knew that I would see Chris and I couldn't handle that.

Claire told me that I should quit and focus on my school work instead of having a job.

I decided that was a bad idea.

I was almost an adult, I should have a job and pay for my own things and be able to handle stressful situations such as this.

When I got to work, Chris was standing at the counter.

His eyes filled with regret and fear when he saw me but I didn't look twice.

 I can get through this job just fine without his help.
