Reflection-Anthony Rizzo

Hazel.

I walk out the back entrance of the restaurant once the cook lets me, which is after I flash her my badge. I walk briskly out to a waiting car and take a seat, telling the driver where to go. I settle down and my ringtone for Hope fills the car. I hurriedly answer it wondering if everything's ok. "Hey what's up?" I say. "Nothing other than the fact that oh maybe you aren't here?" Hope says her voice stern. I sigh. "I had to go to work last minute. Would you mind telling Addi that I had to go? He won't answer his cell." "Ok will do. Your food came. To-go?" I smile. "Yeah. Thanks Hope! You're the best!" We end the call just as I arrive at my destination. "Tom I'm gonna need a ride back so would you mind waiting here for a little bit? It's only gonna take like 10 minutes." Tom nods and I head into the building.

"Morning Ms. Delvadore." The new intern says walking up to me. "Good morning Margaret. What's the latest news on the girl?" She shakes her head. "Johnson won't tell me. He says it's for you and only you to know." I nod my head at her. "Thank you Margaret." I walk to Johnsons office and knock lightly on the door. "Come in!" He says and I walk in, closing the door behind me. "What did you need that's so important? I can't be gone long." He looks into my hazel eyes with his bright green ones and says, "We found our fake."

Hope

"Was that her?" A worried Addison asks me. I nod "Yeah. Apparently her work called her. I don't know why she had to go in, but she did so, I'll text her and tell her to meet us at my house." He nods and visibly calms down. "Hope, why haven't we left yet?" Javy whines in my ear. I chuckle. "Because, I need to get this- I gesture to Hazels untouched plate of food- wrapped up and we need the bill." He sighs and lays his head on my shoulder.

"Anthony!" I hear Emma exclaim, "That's rude!" Anthony chuckles at her comment, then looks directly into my eyes. I don't turn away and Emma says, "Anthony after what you said I would prefer you to say you're sorry to me than stare at Hope." Everyone looks at me and I look down. "Here's your bill and to-go box. Do you need anything else?" Carrie asks. "Nope but thank you. I'll take that." Kris says and hands me the box while taking care of the bill. "Kris you don't have to do that." I say filling the box with Hazels untouched omelet. "Here I'll take that." Addi says taking the omelet from me and standing up from the table. "Well you said you were gonna text her that we're heading to your place right?" He asks me. I nod and Rachel pipes up. "Actually I could. Well I already did so she knows and she replied that she's almost done." We all stand up and head out of the building, Javy's arm around my waist as we head to his car. "Can we listen to the radio in the car?" I ask him when we get there. "Anything for you my angel." When we get in I turn on the radio and we head off. "Ooo! It's This Town!" I squeal and Javy turns it up.

Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there. The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air. It's hard

Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round. It's funny how things never change in this old town. So far from the stars.

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around. And I remember everything, from when we were the children playing in this fairground.
Wish I was there with you now.

If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you. Drive highways and byways to be there with you. Over and over the only truth. Everything comes back to you

I saw that you moved on with someone new. In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you. It's so hard, so hard.

And I want to tell you everything, The words I never got to say the first time around. And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground. Wish I was there with you now.

Cause if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you. Drive highways and byways to be there with you. Over and over the only truth,
Everything comes back to you.
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's something about you

If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
Everything comes back to you

By the time the songs over we're at our apartment and Javy's leading me to our front door. I see Kris and Rachel pulling up, along with Emma and Anthony, and of course Addison with no Hazel. Yet. I go into the kitchen to get a glass of water and Javy welcomes everyone in like they aren't here every day. We sit in our living room, the couples one three of the four love seats, Addi on the chair and Anthony and Emma on our large couch. "So Rachel, How did you guys meet again?" Emma asks. Rachel giggles, looks at Kris, then says, "Well it began when...."

Ik. I rock don't I? I actually wrote this last night but was to lazy to post this but, 1,018 words! That's on the longer side of my writing. I hope you enjoyed this chap and also next chap you'll find out what Hazel went to do. Also if yih actually want to kniw the crazy live story of Kris and Rachel then check out GoliathRider15's book called We are Young. It's really good I totally recommend it.
