Luca POV.

I wake up feeling so exhausted. I don't feel like going to work today. Likewise, I looked at my cell phone and only one hour remained to prepare myself. I feel so weak and dull. The heartbreak that Ella gave me was so terrible. I miss her and I want to text her so badly.

These five years that I have spent with her. I texted her every single morning. Today, I struggle not to text her, since we don't have anything going on between us anymore. She had made it so clear to me that she no longer needs me in her life and that is what I am going to do, to stay as far away from her.

I prepare myself in a very slow manner. I decided to eat at the restaurant since time was not on my side anymore. I check myself in the mirror before leaving. My eyes were swollen. Clearly someone could notice I had a terrible night.

“Good morning, Luca. What is that look? It looks like you haven't slept at all.” I hear Juliet saying to me. She was very talkative here at work and made the place very li

    Juliet's POVI cannot forget the day I got a job at this restaurant here. That was the same day I met Luca. The man of my dreams. He was handsome, and had all the features I desired in a man.

And there was no way I will tell her about my struggles.Even though she had asked so much about the reason for my sadness, I told her only the shallow part of the story. I could not tell him that the man she knew as her dad had become a drunkard. And that everyday he comes home very late being so intoxicated. I don't know what was the problem with him. It was so hard to believe that the man I loved with all my heart had changed so much. Not so long ago, we were so happy with each other, but not anymore. I was so sad because of all this. I prayed that he would change soon, and it looks like my prayers were answered because he stopped coming home drunk, but the issue was he was still coming home late. This behavior was really getting into my nerves and I could not stop myself anymore from questioning his latest character. “
