Our Story {t.c.}

Chapter 9

I opened the door to the Café.

"Emily! I'm so glad you're here! Look at you! You're all grown up, the last time I saw you I think you were like 13." Aunt Catherine said.

I smiled.

"Nice to see you too Aunt Catherine." I laughed.

She hugged me.

Then she handed me my apron.

"Are you ready to work? We open at 9 every morning, and you'll be taking people's orders and bringing the food and drinks out. Sound good?" She said:

"Sounds great." I smiled.

Then the first customers came in.

I guided the two customers to their table.

Once they sat down I grabbed my pen and note pad.

"Hi, I'll be waiting on you today and my name is Emily, so what can I get you two?" I said kindly.

"I'll have a water." The woman said.

"I'll have a coke." The man said.

"Okay, is that it for now?" I asked.

"Yep." The man said.

"Okay coming right up." I said with a smile.

I walked back to the kitchen and got their drinks.

I brought them to the customers.

"Alright, are you ready to order?" I asked.

"Yes, I'll have a chicken salad." The woman said kindly.

"And I'll have the number one." The man said.

"Okay." I said and then once again went to the kitchen and gave the cooks the order.

Once the food was ready I brought it out to them.

Then some more customers came in and I did the whole thing over again.

-------------------------------------------

It's 1:30.

My Aunt told me my work shifts would be 9 to 1:30 since I'm just 18 and I still have to decide which college I'm going to go to.

I took my apron off, grabbed my phone and purse, and walked outside.

It was sunny out. The warmth from the sun felt good on me.

I started towards my car.

Then my phone rang.

I looked to see who it was.

It was Taylor.

I answered it.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey Emily!" Taylor said.

"Hey what's up." I said kindly.

"I just got off the plane, I'm in Florida now. And I'm with Cameron, Nash, Hayes, Carter, Aaron, Shawn, Matt, and the Jacks." He replied.

"Wow cool." I answered.

"Hey I'm going to put you on speaker, k?" He said.

"Okay." I said.

"Hey guys say hi to Emily." Taylor said.

"Hey!" They all said at once.

I laughed.

"Hey guys!" I said back.

"Emily Taylor is in love with you!" One of them shouted.

"Cameron shut up!" Taylor said.

Then they all laughed.

"Hey Emily I'll just text you, bye." He said.

"Bye." I replied.

I decided to go to the mall.

I walked in the mall and just looked around.

I went to Victoria Secret, Vans, Forever 21, and other stores.

I really hate shopping but it's better than siting at home all day.

After I went to a couple of shops I went to the food court and sat down.

There was a huge glass wall on my right, but I'm in the middle of the food court so I'm not close to the wall.

I got on my phone and looked on Twitter.

"Look out!" Someone screamed.

I looked up a huge car was driving towards the glass wall.

Everyone I. The food court started running.

I grabbed my purse and put my phone inside it.

I started running, but then I saw a little boy. His shirt was caught on the chair.

I quickly ran over to him.

I picked him up and ran towards the lady that was screaming and crying and kept shouting someone's name but she was looking at me and the boy.
So I thought he was hers.

The car was getting closer the boy and I were the only people in the direction of the car where it was going to hit.

At this moment everything seemed to be in slow motion.

The car was closer now.

I was close enough to the lady now, so I tossed the boy to her as I ran.

The boy flew through the air and the mother caught him.

She ran with him.

I wasn't out of the cars way yet.

Even if I tried to run more I don't think I would make it, but I kept running.

Then the glass wall shattered, bringing glass down hitting my arms, face, head, and legs.

I kept running.

Then the car came.

And I was the first thing it hit in the room.

I fell to the ground, blood was all over my hands, face, and legs.

I couldn't move.

This was it, this is the end.

I closed my eyes.

And I thought.

Then everything seemed to stop.

My thoughts stopped, my hurt, my fear, and my breath.

And for once I felt like everything would be okay.

I would be okay.

I would be okay.......
