∆ Adalyn's p.o.v ∆

•I was dumbfounded by what Margot said but at the same time I had to show empathy towards her situation. Losing a loved one is not the easiest path to go through, it may  even seem impossible but some aspects of life only show the awful side of it, I can easily tell that Margot is a tenacious and  independent person but the simple fact of mentioning the unfortunate accident of her sister could bring her down to the lowest form of herself. We were at the coffee shop and Margot just stared blankly at her coffee which I understand. Sharing this story with someone you barely know is tough and yet she had the courage to do it. She trusted me and I can't make her regret what she did.•

"So about what you said, I want you to know that I can comprehend the fact that it destroys you, that telling me mustn't have been easy and I want to thank you for trusting me."

•I could already see a smile on her face after what I said and this already removed a weight off of my shoulders.•

"I think I should be the one thanking you." She said quietly

"Why so?"

"You respect me and my story. Most people would have ran away from me after hearing such a thing but you stayed and tried to understand my situation no matter what and I really appreciate that."

•I could tell she was still moody and prefered to drink her coffee rather than talking so I just sat in silence astonished by how she could gulp down hot black coffee•

"I could never." I mumbled

"You mean the coffee?"

•I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized she had heard what I said•

"Yes, I am not the type to like hot, black coffee."

"So are you trying to tell me you only drink iced coffee even when it is freezing like this?" She said smirking

"You got a point Sherlock!"

"What a phenomenon!"

•I admired how even the little things like this could make her happy. This made me think about the fact that she is a complexed person who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and this was a thought I could never get rid of. With every minute, I learn new things about her, as intriguing as they can be, I always like them. I was then quickly disturbed by the sound of a bell. When I saw the shocked face of Margot, I understood that they were the bells that announced the departure of a train and this was the 8:30 a.m train we had to take•

•We ran as quickly as possible to try and catch it but once we arrived, it was already far way.•

"Does this mean we have another thirty minutes to discuss?"

"I guess so."

"Well, let's get to work!" She said smiling at me

•I couldn't tell if it was sarcasm but it didn't seem to irritate her, almost as if this was something she would gladly accept. I wasn't complaining, not until I got a call from Jerry. I could barely hear what he was saying since he was screaming. Even Margot's eyes were wide open when she heard screaming coming from my phone. In between every time Jerry breathed to continue howling foul language at me I tried to speak but he kept telling me to shut up and listen. He blabbered about how I was a childish waste of time, a mistake, how our marriage was a failure all because of my attitude ,a so-called independent woman when in reality I can't manage to be on time and so on.•

•Margot had enough of me tolerating such a scum bag and snatched my phone and calmly explained to Jerry how it was her fault if I was late which I obviously denied but she insisted. I trusted her and let her finish what she started. He then out of nowhere started telling Margot who she thought she was. She had enough and told him the truth; the truth about him. How he is the one to blame for the failure of our engagement, how I wished I was on my own without him as an extra weight, and even how I prefered my life without him with some profanities here and there. I stood there amazed at everything she said, she was right about absolutely everything. I would have never had the courage to do such things but luckily she was there to help me;again. She hung up and advised me to turn my phone off if I didn't want him to bully me•

"You amaze me!" I said laughing

"He deserved it! Everyone needs a reality check and he was the one who needed it the most!"

"How did you even manage to make him silent for more than thirty seconds? I can't even manage to do that for five seconds!"

"It is my special talent." She said while winking

•We spent the whole time joking about Jerry's idiotic maners while eating some snacks. It's funny how after that, I am sure he will see me another way. All of my female friends or should I say only friends since Jerry doesn't allow me to have male friends usually bare his attitude but Margot is the type to not handle things lightly. She can be nice but she can also be as violent as a hurricane and this made her special. I wish I could have seen his face during this but unfortunately I couldn't. All I could think of was how I wanted to get rid of him, never see him again and never have to support his mere amount of common sense and respect. It was difficult to admit but I had officially had my amount of Jerry in my life. He was probably going to tell me he was not in a good mood because of some imaginary business issues he created thanks to his imagination but this time it wouldn't work. I was not going to let him ruin the integrity of my life.•
