It's Not My Fault (COMPLETED)

Chapter 19

Alexandra's POV 

I woke up the next day and got ready for work. Cami and I walked down to breakfast.  I had cereal and my coffee.

Mr Rick walked  "I just wanted to say that these  are your last few days before you leave.  And I want to congratulate you and thank you for working hard. I hope you'll learnt something from us and your time here" with that he walked out.

Cami and I got to work after that.  We had our usual morning customers coming in then it was quite slow so we could relax.

I heard the doorbell  ring as a customer walked in. I got up with a sigh and walked over to serve them.

It was only when I reached the table that I froze.  "Hey" Mason said nervously grabbing the back of his neck.  I saw a purple brius on his left cheek. 

'I punched him and brought you here '  Erick's words  rang in my head.

But I couldn't help the anger that took over me. How dare he get me drunk and try to take advantage of me. Before I could stop myself I slapped him across the face. 

Lukyliy there was no one else in the cafe. "I guess I deserve that" he said.  "How dare you?" I asked.  "You just ruined most of my plan. A plan that I had worked very hard for it to come out perfect. And then you come along and ruin it. Do you have any idea what you had done?" I yelled at him

"Look I'm really sorry. I was drunk too you know" he defended

"No I wouldn't know because I was so drunk I can't even remember what happened. Thank God I wasn't drunk enough  to tell Erick everything" I silently thanked God

"What are you talking about? "Mason asked confused

I leaned over the table so that I was eye level to him. " There are some secrets that are better left a secret.  And what you did almost made me tell the person who I've been keeping it from" I said then walked away.

I have had enough of this. My plans are ruin and I don't know what I can do to make things right.

After work we went back to the motel.  Mr Rick had organised a fest for us as it was our last night.
I can't wait to go back home. Cami and I had packed our stuff the night before we went to bed so we won't forget anything. 

Teaxs was a really nice place. Most of the people where nice here too. I'm thankful that I at  least got to travel somewhere before I leave. 

I learnt a few things here too. First I learnt  what hard work feels like. I learnt how hard people work to earn money . Second I learnt how to take care of the land you are from and embrace it. The people here love Texas and they do their best to keep things going.  And third I learnt that Erick  still loves me and I love him too. I can't run away from my problems forever. I will have to face them but right now I'm not ready. 

I sighed at I got into bed. Erick and I had not spoken since the other morning when I woke up next to him. But the looks he gave me where not going unnoticed.

I felt bad for being mean and rude to him. I just want to see him happy and he is happy without me. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think. What's it going to be like when I leave? Will Erick move on? Will he forget me?

That's why I wanted him to move on and be happy while  I am still here. So when I leave he won't feel so bad.

I just wish people would understand that I'm trying to protect him. I love Erick and it's not so easy leaving him. How can you just up and leave knowing you're leaving someone you love behind?

No one understands. No one had to go through what I have. You have to know what it feels like to understand  it. And people don't want to understand.
