Chapter 1: Meet Leah

Alarm is ringing⏰⏰⏰

Some one is removing my blanket and I'm sure it is my idiot best friend Clara.

Ok ok I'm awake stop shouting.

She continues laughing .

wake up sleeping beauty we are already late for work.

I moved to New York 3 months ago and met my bestie Clara. We met at my new job in a cafe and instantly clicked . She is a beautiful and cheerful girl. Always carefree unlike me . She has a lovely family who loves her a lot. We always meet them in the weekend for lunch and spend the whole day with them . We started living together since 2 months and so far I'm very happy. Can my happiness last forever or its same as last time. I always reassure myself that this time it may be different but is it happening am I really safe now? it's a question that I always ask myself but can't answer it..

I got ready for my work in my beautiful blue dress👗and wore my favourite sandals. I completed my look with an eye liner and red lipgloss. I looked at my charm bracelet in my right hand. It has four charms flower, star, infinity and A. I don't remember buying it but I couldn't bring myself to remove it for the past three years . May be I keep it as my reminder of the past that I can't remember.

I love working in this cafe it's just 5 minutes walk from my house. I love the owner Mrs Brown who cares everyone as her children. She lost her husband and doesn't have kids but still she is never discouraged or sad. I like seeing the happy customers who come to the cafe.

***Hey*** ***bestie , What are you doing tonight ?

I am just going home nothing special , Why??

Let's go to a party

No way!!

Please!!!!!!!

Clara please , you know I hate parties right so why bother asking ??

Leah , It's my childhood best friend's birthday that I really want you to meet . Please this is the last time I ask you to go to a party***.

She starts showing her puppy dog eyes what can I do now other than saying ok.

***Ok, but this is the last time***

She starts shouting and hugging me.

***Thank you so much Leah .. Now lets get ready for our night***.

I honestly started to fear thinking about the night . How am I going to survive being around so many people with my social phobia and anxiety. Please God help me to get through this night for Clara . I don't want to disappoint my best friend on her childhood friend's birthday party.

I got ready in red backless strap dress that comes near my knees. Clara wore a beautiful black Maxi dress . She completes doing her hair and makeup and starts doing mine .

***Oh! Leah we are looking really hot today aren't we??

Yeah, let's go we're already late

Ok, come on our cab already came***

Let it be a memorable night for us with that thought we started for the party.
