"I promise I won't fall in love ever again."
Promises are meant to be held within our hearts, they are never to be broken or said out loud. But sometimes, promises like the one that Emma made to herself are meant to be broken. Espec...

I had been on my feet all day and all I really wanted to do was take a seat and eat one of our famous croissants. Val was sitting next to the window waiting for me to go on my lunch break. Finn had been ignoring me all day and it was driving me insane. I mean I know what I did was not okay, but just ignoring me wasn't going to fix everything. Besides it's not like we had any real feelings towards each other. He said it himself, he was gay.
But, thinking on it now the way I reacted wasn't the best. The moment those words came out of his mouth I ran out of the cafe. I was embarrassed after what I had done, but to Finn it might have looked like I was running away from him rather than from my stupidity.
I pulled out the chair across from Val and took a seat as I looked down at my phone starting my fifteen minute break.
"Finally, I thought your break was never going to come." Val says taking a sip from her coffee.
I roll my eyes and slouch not really feeling in the mood to handle Val's exaggerations.
"Hey Em, what's wrong?"
"Val, I fucked up last night."
"What do you mean? What's wrong Em?"
I lean in and tell her about my incident with Finn. I know that it was an accident and it was wrong of me to run out after our kiss. But who could blame me? I made a complete fool out of myself.
Val grabs my hands and holds them within her own, she gives them a nice squeeze that gives off comfort and warmth.
"Oh Em, there is nothing wrong with what you did it is something that you felt needed to happen. If anything I would just talk to Finn after you close the café and just apologize."
Val was right, there was no reason why I wouldn't be able to talk with Finn as grown adults. But at the same time I saw no reason in why I should be apologizing.
"What exactly do I have to apologize for?" I ask Val slowly moving my hands away from hers.
"Em, it's not necessarily that you did something wrong but you did run away after the boy admitted to you that he was gay. I just think that you should apologize in order to clear things up and have him understand that you ran away no because he was gay but because you were embarrassed."
"Yeah, you're right," I take Val's mug of coffee away from her and take a sip out of it.
"I just wish you could be in my shoes to understand what I am actually dealing with. The whole reason on why I took on this job was to get away from my problems, but it seems that problems are the only thing that I create."
