- You should ask Kirstie to come eat at home tonight. So you will not be alone.

- Oh yes good idea! I said by sending her a message. Okay, I really have to go. See you tonight, I love you. I kissed him and got out of the car while he was waving his hand at me. "

Just before I entered my workplace, Kirstie responded positively to my invitation

I entered the bar and joined directly Leo who was waiting for me to arrive to take his break

"- Mia! Thank you, I really needed to get some fresh air. He told me while I had barely set foot behind the counter

- Next time I'll try to be late. I winked at him as he raised his middle finger to me "

He got out and I quickly took a notebook before going into the room to take orders

The bar was pretty quiet tonight, luckily Leo was there to make me laugh and add some fun

"- Another 10 minutes and we go home. I said to Leo

- Your boyfriend is coming to get you?

- No, he's busy in the studio

- Seriously Mia? He looked at me, shocked

- What?

- Your ex-psychopath is in town and your boyfriend lets you walk home alone?

- His appointment at the studio was important ... I was trying to argue

- More important than your life?

- Stop. Brad is a great boyfriend. I said, annoyed

- Then why you never presented him to us. I think you are ashamed of him

- Stop bullshtting ! I don't allow you to criticize Bradley when you don't even know him. I said, stopping the conversation.

- Ok ok. He raised his two hands in the air as a sign of peace. Do you want me to accompany you? He said while we both went outside in front of the bar

- No it's OK. I still said slightly on the nerves. "

He looked at me one last time before shrugging and going in the opposite direction to mine. I was turning to walk towards my apartment when I saw a figure around the corner facing me. I frowned slightly to see this person better. My eyes widened at the sight of the man who was only 20 yards from me. I automatically started to panic and yell as the man walks towards me. It was then that I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to quickly release it from me, afraid of who it could be. My body calmed down automatically when I saw Leo in front of me.

"- Hey, what's going on Mia? He asked me worried

- I ... He ... I tried to say pointing to the corner of the street but obviously there was no one left

- Calm down. Take a deep breath and explain it all to me. He told me by placing his hands on my shoulders

- There was Lucas right in front of me, he was staring at me... I said, tears running down my cheeks

 - It's gonna be fine, I'm here now... He hugged me and put his head on top of mine

- I was so scared ... Thank you for coming back ... I said, freeing myself from his embrace

- It's normal Mia. I'll take you home, my car is right there. He told me by pointing at it "

We went to his car and I sat in the passenger seat. The journey was fairly silent. He knew I didn't want to speak so he didn't force me.
