The bell in the cafeteria rings and I look up to serve the customers.

Oh, my life doesn't stop going from bad to worse.

I put a big fake smile on my face.

"Gaby, it's been a long time since we've seen each other," says the man when he arrived at the counter and recognized me.

-Yes, too much...

From the University where you cheated on me, times that I don't like to remember.

I was going to finish my sentence when a blonde girl arrived, or rather, my ex-best friend and with a baby of about 2 years in her arms.

Ignoring me Olympicly, she went straight to take a seat at one of the nearby tables and my ex followed her.

I walk to the table where they are located imagining how to disappear from here.

The woman after a few moments recognizes me and prostrates a big mocking smile on her face.

What I was missing

-How nice that you work in the same place as years ago-I sit pretending a smile-Apparently, no matter how expensive the university is, it can't do miracles- Louis looks at her to keep silent.

I open my mouth to talk, but it interrupts me.

-Well, the university is only good for people who, if they deserve their place there, like Louis, he is now area director of one of the largest companies in England, which goes, in the world.

I dedicate my best smile to them: I don't give a damn.

-It would be better if someone else takes care of them

I retired on my way to the counter.

  • Difficult customers? - Fred asks, I jump, I didn't expect to see him here.

Fred is the owner of the cafeteria and my best friend, he doesn't spend much time outside the kitchen so seeing him outside was a miracle.

-You have no idea, you remember my ex...

-The bastard who cheated on you

-It wasn't necessary to remember that, but yes, him.

"Oh girl, I'm going to take care of them," he says and he's going to take the order of the unspeakable.

...

I had just finished my shift when the pains came again.

"Are you okay?" Frederick asked, I looked directly into his gray eyes.

"Yes," I replied, although we both knew it wasn't like that, "I have to go home now, thank you for what I did a while ago.

  • for you everything, baby- I wink my eye.

I smiled and took my things to leave.

...

When I got to the door of my apartment, the world went down.

''Notice of eviction''

"Shit," I cursed.

My life couldn't be worse, God, can't you screw up someone else's life?

After reading the notice, I went into my house and next to where I left my keys, I saw the card with the number of the man from the other time.

It was a divine sign.

Right now I am undecided whether to call him or not, my life is fucked up, I am sick, the treatment is too expensive, I have just seen my ex-married with the woman for whom I change, apart from the fact that he has just humiliated me, they are going to evict me from my apartment, I have no close family alive, I

Well, call him - says my conscience and for once in my life I will listen to him.

^Calling^

-Hello- a male voice responds through the phone.

-Accepted.

There is a brief silence in which I think he regretted it, but the doubts disappear as soon as he answers.

-Do you want us to meet to clarify some doubts and that?

-Yes-sighs relieved.

I look at a corner of the small apartment.

-I'll see you in the same place in an hour- and he just hung up.

This could be the only way to save myself or sink deeper, but sometimes it is necessary to be brave, because life is not for the weak and I say it from experience. Here it is to decide or die.
