You're my safe haven

CHAPTER 8️⃣

The past month has been really weird I haven't heard from or seen Chris and I haven't seen Sebastian either I hope they are okay I am trying not to worry about it but I can't shake this feeling that something is wrong. But I keep telling myself I'm probably overreacting and they are both fine here's to hoping right

I picked up a couple more shifts at the diner this week and let me tell you that my feet are killing me thank goodness my boss gave me the next week off so I'm looking forward to relaxing that whole week. Hope and I are going to the cabin cause we are both off and she wants to get me out of my apartment she says I need to live my life again so agreed to go to the cabin so we can drink and eat a bunch of food also enjoy each other's company
Since I haven't spoken to Katt it be great to have Hope in my life I know in another life I think that we will all be best friends

Amy(co-worker)- Celina hey can you get table five for me? I have to check in with my kid's school

Celina- oh yeah no problem Amy I'm on it

Amy- thank you I'll be back I soon as I'm done

My section was slow today so I didn't mind plus the girls I helped would always split their tips with me so once I get them settled with their drinks and I place the order with the cook

So I started to clean up the table that was done being used and then got they ready for the next bunch of customers that might come in

Once I got the food to Amy's table by the time she can back she thanked me and I went back to my section I wasn't looking up when the next person come in but I was just as surprised as they were to see me I thought I would never see her again at least not for a while.

Katt- Cece???

Shit! I can't believe it I haven't heard that nickname in such a long time. I only allowed one person to call me that my whole life I can't believe she is here the last time I check she was living in Paris and starting her clothing line, yes I check up on her and my family I know it is messed up that I use social media and such to see what they are all up to but that is what I'm comfortable with and I won't apologize for that the fight I had with my family and Katt it was bad I regret what I said to them I but they also said some hurtful things as well.

Celina- Katt? Um...hey can I get you a table

Katt- can you get me a table? Is that all you have to say to me? I haven't seen you in years and all you say CAN YOU GET ME A DAMM TABLE!?!?

I filched at her raising her voice I knew she would be pissed but hearing her she is beyond that. I start to look around I see people starting to stare and I didn't want to have this conversation now, especially with people around I tried to hold back the tears but my eyes started to sting I look at Katt and I quickly look away from her my best friend she was like a sister to me I just feel so ashamed I just don't want to hear I told you so as much as I don't want to have this conversation right now I might not have a choice.

Celina- listen Katt I know you're upset about everything that went down but please can you lower your voice this is my job and I don't need you causing a scene

I take a deep breath trying to calm myself down I don't like confrontation, especially not with her

Katt- I can't believe you this is the first time I see you in years and I am beyond pissed about that, but now you're telling me to lower my voice so I don't embarrass you in front of your new friends and coworkers why should I they should know what they are getting into with you (she turns to the other side of the diner and just lets it all out) you know she turned her back on her family and her best friend the person who has been there for her whole life and just disappears with her "wonderful boyfriend" because she didn't want to hear the truth about him but no she was right and we were wrong, but that is who she is she leaves when things get tough and nothing is to her man liking. You let a guy come into your family's home and disrespect your parents and you just sat there and let him you are unbelievable I can't believe I called you my sister because the Celina I knew would have never let that happen you were right we are dead to you and here to tell you I'm so glad I don't have you as my friend anymore I deserved better and so did your parents

I couldn't hold it in any more tears were streaming down my face I knew I hurt them but not like this. This is why I never reached out because I knew they would never forgive me for what happened that night and I don't blame them. I stare at my shoes hoping this is a bad dream I wake up like it never happened but I'm not that lucky it's happening and there is no stopping it. That's when I feel someone next to me I look up and see those perfect blue eyes staring back at me...... Chris

He starts to rub my back to let me know is all going to be okay it always is when he's around. He gives me a small smile and a nod telling me that is all okay and then he turns back to Katt

Chris- I think you should leave you said what you wanted to say but she has gone through so much she doesn't need this from you

Katt just scoffs and rolls her eyes she can care less right now especially when she sees that someone is standing up for me, yes, I know what she said was true and how she felt but I don't need her telling me these things that I already tell myself every day

Katt- yeah whatever who are you? Huh, her new man what Jackson got tired of you and pushed to the carve like you did use

I stiffing up when I hear his name they don't know what happened it wasn't in the news and I begged the hospital not to call my emergency contact I was so ashamed to admit it so yes I did run away from my problems I just wanted to forget everything and start over. I feel Chris grab my hand and I feel instantly relaxed

Chris- okay that's enough you need to leave now

Katt- fine by me that's enough fakeness for today 

She gives me one last look and it's just pure disgust and just shakes her head but she doesn't leave just stands there she looks so different I don't recognize this person that's standing in front of me I know it's been a while but this isn't my best friend I want to yell that I'm sorry, but she won't listen to me I just want her to leave and never come back I move behind Chris and the I see Amy come over and she has got her don't mess with look

Amy- officer Evans is right you need to leave you a disturbing my employee and my costumers

They have their showdown and Katt finally takes the hint and leaves I'm still behind when I take a breath 

Celina- I'm so sorry I promise that won't happen again I am sorry that from my past I don't even know how she knew I worked here didn't even know she was in town please don't fire me ill pick up extra shifts if need be I'll make it up

Amy- ( she put her hand on my shoulder ) Celina breathe sweetheart you are not going to get fired listen I don't know who you were back then, but I know you now, and what she said I  don't see that I see a girl who has been through hell and comes out on top you are not your past mistakes I can promise you that listen why don't you take a break so you can relax okay

I just nod my head and wipe my tears and start to head to the back there's a little table and chairs outside I don't even bother to look up I can't once I'm out the door I feel a nice breeze on my face I was doing so good amy right I'm not my past mistakes I hear the door open and close again I turn around and it's Chris I don't say anything I run into his arm wrap my arms around him I don't want to let go in his arms I know I'm safe it like the night we first met I instantly felt safe. Chris hugs me back just as tight

Chris- shhh I got you I got you it's going to be okay

A/N: IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE I KEPT CHANGING THIS AROUND AND IM HAPPY WITH WHAT I CAME UP WITH LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKED IT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER WE ARE GOING TO SEE WHY WE DIDN'T HEAR FROM CHRIS IN A MONTH SO LOOK FOR TO THAT AND MAYBE WILL HAVE A POV FROM HIM
