Love for Rent

"Andrew had booked my flight to Germany for an important interview there... I know... that wasn't right but I couldn't cancel it. It's my first interview since months now and it was important for my career in Europe. I am so so sorry, Celine... I'll make it up to you", he said.
I was completely shocked that he left me alone because of that kind of shit.
"I would have given my life for you. And you can't give up on your fucking interview?", I asked him rhetorically. "I know. I am sorry, Celine. Just tell me something to make it up to you"
"Bring me my mother back... or turn back time to go to her funeral together with me. You are a fucking idiot, you know. One week, one flight, one interview and one decision made our relationship end. It's over", I told him, turned my back to him and slammed the door right behind me. As I was outside I took a deep breath and stepped into the next cab. I just saw Shawn running after the car.
I started crying. Everything was just too much. I couldn't take it anymore.
I could just jump off a cliff and commit suicide and no one would care about it.
"Stop please... I want to get out", I told the driver.
I gave him his money and told him to leave me.
I sat on a bench and covered my face with my hands and leaning my elbows agains my thighs.
I started to cry again.
Then I heard someone coming closer and sitting next to me.
"Hi", he said.
I looked up to him with my wet eyes. I wanted to stand up but he kept talking. "What happened to you? I mean... who could brake such a beautiful girl's heart?", he asked.
"Who are you? I mean you don't know anything about me!", I said.
"I'm Cameron... I wanted to visit my cousin Amanda here. She has a new boyfriend so on and they think about moving together...yeah. And you? What's your name?", he asked.
"Wait... how's the boyfriend called?"
"Sam I think...", he said.
"That's probably my brother.", I told him.
"Oh... okay... then you are Celine, right? Amanda said that you looked beautiful but I didn't believe her that you were THAT beautiful like... whoa", he said making me smile.
"And just stop crying. Tears don't look good on you", he told me, "now tell me what happened. I will listen carefully just let it all go"
I told him the whole story with mom's death the funeral and Shawn's interview. Then I told him about my feelings and that I broke up.
"Wow... I mean how crazy has a person to be... Not going to the funeral of your mom. That shit's heavy as fuck! Sorry haha", he said.
I chuckled, "It's okay. I swear all the time"
He breathed in deeply to show that he was relieved. I laughed.
"You are a funny guy, Cameron", I said winking. He winked back.
"Now... let's go home. Amanda's there too", he told me.
