Chapter 2
Amelia Volkov
(I am finally 18. Everyone feels special when they turn 18, yet I feel the same, I am still working in the same café, this place itself is my home. I need a fresh start, a new beginning. This might be the worst decision, but I feel I should go for it.)

Lena
Seems like you are in a wild thought

*I turned to her, and she was sitting at one of the tables. We get customers frequently, so it was just us now.* Nothing...... I just got dIstracted *i say lowly*
Lena
You think I believe it?
Amelia Volkov
(Hiding things from her was difficult. She could read me like a book and that was helpful for me sometimes as she could understand what I am trying to say in cases I can't talk.)
Amelia Volkov
*I snap from my thoughts* yea yea!
Lena
Instead of saying things to yourself, say it to me.
Amelia Volkov
I-I was just thinking about something...... But.... It's not a great idea.
Lena
Are you thinking about starting a fresh start?
Lena
Silly you! You think, I don't know what you are thinking about? *she laughs and then stands up and walks to me and stands in front of me and smiles gently* Go for it. It's not a bad decision, even if it is I'll be in your every step.
Amelia Volkov
*I hug her tightly* Thank you.....Thank you for everything you have done for me
Lena
*she hugs back and pulls away and laughs* now don't be a small emotional kiddo and begin your new journey
Amelia Volkov
*I smile slightly and nod*
Lena
Use my laptop for finding college and don't think about the money, it's all on me, so you just find the college.
Lena
Stop with your thank you and go and find you silly! *she flickers my forehead laughing*
Amelia Volkov
*I smile at her and go to the staff room, in this café it's only us, she doesn't seem to like any other people who come for work but we both manage it well enough that we never feel like having any other people to work.*
Amelia Volkov
*I take her laptop from her bag, and come back to the dining area and sit on one of the tables and she joins too*
