EDITED


Mia walked into her mum's work, greeting everyone hugging her. Thankfully there weren't many customers were around, so they were able to talk to Miahla before she went out the back to see her mum and write down the times when she started, and when she would finish. 

Miahla messaged Nickolas a time to come with the picture of the menu. Miahla let her mum know that a friend she met in college. Mia thought it was best to keep it like that, so her mother wouldn't get up in her grill about dating a boy from another country if that's the reason why she may want to stay back in the united states. 

Mia served a few customers and talked to her mother's front of house staff members about her experiences in North Carolina and her studying. As the day went on a couple of the customers notices Miahla talking the other staff and friend's talking about her living working and studying in North Carolina, causing them to ask why she doesn't have the accent. 

Mia simply told them it was easy to change but rather the Australian accent. When Miahla is back in Australia, she loved to play jokes on people, changing her accents all the time. As Miahla was finishing up the lunch rush helping cleaning all the tables, her tiredness for the jet lag, started to come through.

 Mia still wanted to meet up with Nickolas, though she knew what happens when she gets tired and didn't want to show that towards Nickolas, exposing one of her many secrets that she's hiding from him. Emily and many of her friends from North Carolina would want to aks 'why' she all of a sudden had to go back to Perth Western Australia occasionally

Once she finished her last couple of tables, the food was ready and nicely packed into a few boxes, so Miahla could take them to her 'friend' who she thinks she is meeting.

 "Hey Mi, you look tired, are you sure you're ok?" Her mother asked, concerned, looking at her daughter worried. "yeah, it's just the jet lag." Mia said, not trying to think it was what she was thinking.

 "Ok, please, if you don't feel well, just call me, and whoever you are with get them to call me, they know about your condition?" She asked like a worried mother. "No, but I am fine, ok," Miahla said trying to get her mothers worrying side away, she was an independent adult, but what she has gone through with her mother she will always be concerned however it's four years since all of her medical issues, came up again, yet it had died down and became stable, thankfully. She was able to go back and study in North Carolina with a doctor that was on stand by which they arranged for her. 

Miahla walked to where she was meeting Nickolas, he was standing wearing non-formal attire, which included jeans and a blue and red T-shirt. "You look casual," Mia said with a smile. 

"Thank you, I see that your style doesn't change" he replied implying that I wear the same clothes as I always do. "Thank you, here let's eat and get to know each other," she said as we sat down on a blanket that he brought. "Did you do this or you helpers?" Miahla asked.

"I did, my helpers think I am just walking around Perth and you are right when no one comes to Perth and people know who you are it's crazy," he said with a smile as we sat down, and started to eat the lunch that Miahla's mum prepared for them. 

As their lunch went on, Mia became disoriented, slurs words and wasn't fantastic. "Mia, you ok?" Nickolas asked worriedly. "Um, yelp I'm..... fi..me," she said slurs her words. To her, she sounded fine, but she also felt dizzy.

 "Mia, I am going to lay you down ok, is there anything you want to tell me?" Nickolas asked again as her eyes rolled back. "Mia, stay with me ok," he said as he put her in the recovery position. Calling an ambulance and waving down anyone that would know where they are so Nickolas could tell the 000 responders for an ambulance and where the heck they are.
