"Coffee for (y/n)!" The Brewster called out and I went up to get my order.

I'd had a long day at work and needed a quick boost before I walked the rest of the way home.

I went upstairs to sit in my favourite window seat, but someone was already there.

She looked beautiful and was sipping away at a rather large drink.

"Excuse me," I said without any real reason. "May I sit with you?"

"Of course," she said with a sad smile "I'd appreciate the company"

"I've never seen you around before" I said as I began to fiddle with my hands. "It's a small town you know..."

"I'm new actually," she said looking at anything but me. "Where are my manners? I'm Helena, and...?"

"Oh (y/n)!" I said letting out a small laugh. "So what brings you to Lake Willow?" I asked.

"Oh well..." she said looking down, "I just needed to go some where new."

Helena looked up at me and I saw her eyes were on the verge of tears.

"Are you okay?" I asked, she didn't look very happy when I first saw her either come to think of it.

"No, yes, look I have to go" She quickly responded as she got up to leave.

"No don't I'll go, I'll—"

"It's fine I need to go anyway" Helena said before she rushed down the stairs and out the door.

I stared in disbelief. Then on a whim, I got to my feet and followed her. I didn't know what was getting into me.

I usually keep my self to my self, but it felt like fate was drawing me closer to this person.

Running across the road, I saw her turn a corner towards the park. From a distance I watched her sit in a bench by the pond.

Slowly I made my way over, I had to make sure she was okay.

"I know you followed me..." Helena said as I began to walk towards her. "It's strange usually no one cares..."

Siting down next to her we both slipped into silence. A silence that was adventurually broken.

"Are you—"

Okay? No, not really not for a long time." Helena interrupted.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I was supposed to be getting married, but I can't ."

"Why?"

"He's not the one, no man could ever be the one, I wish I hadn't pushed the feelings away for so long, now I'm too old..." she said allowing tears to fall down onto her lap.

"You're wrong, I think you're beautiful, and your not, too old. Any girl would be lucky to have you" I said hopping she'd listen.

"Y-you think I'm beautiful?" She said with a tone of surprise. "No woman ever told me that."

"Maybe they should." I said with a smirk. "I'm going back to my flat, would you like to come with me?"

"Yes, isn't love that" Helena said wiping the tears from the face.

Sorry I haven't been updating a lot, I've not had much allows time.

This is just a short one but the next will be a longer (maybe even two part) request. So stay tuned for that.
