The night we met

FREEDOM

Leonardo

I paid for the coffee and dragged a screaming Lorenzo outside
"What the fuck!stop dragging me, Leonardo."

"Stop shouting,and get in the car,"
I said, and let go of him and shoved him towards the car

"Fucking shit"

Oh?
He did not!
"What did you just say?" I asked him, and he hurried to get inside the car

Kiara

It's 4 pm. now, which means that I still have an hour left until my shift ends

I can't wait to chase out these people and go home

Most of the customers left, so it wasn't this crowded like the morning,
But I couldn't stand here anymore, so I decided to take a break, Grace will manage on his own for a while

I took a sandwich from the fridge in the workers' room and sat on the couch
I needed this break,my legs were aching since I came

After 20 minutes of scrolling through my phone,I decided to go back in making coffees.
But when I was about to leave the room, Grace opened the door, and I looked at him confused

"Oh, there you are!I was looking for you. Umm, some women come saying that she needs to talk to you."
I looked at him even more confused

"Women? What women?"
I asked him
Who would want to meet me?
"I don't know. She seems like some businesswoman."
He said and walked away

I went out of the room
And looked at the counter, there was a woman in a costume standing while tapping her foot impatiently
I headed towards her
She saw me and smiled at me, extending her hand for a shake

I didn't smile but shaked her hand. What can I say? I'm a polite person
"You have to be Kiara Lopez, right?"
She said, looking at me with hope in her eyes
"Umm? Yeah, It's me, why?. "
Her face brightened, and she looked relieved somehow

"Good. It's really you.You don't know, in how many coffee shops I visited to find you. "
Ok,she is creeping me out

"Umm, miss, I'm sorry, but may I know who you are?"
I asked her and crossed my arms in front of my chest

"Oh?,my bad, I'm Diana. I'm from Coral Children's Legal Center,I came her to talk about your foster father."

What?No! Shit I'm already eighteen,
They have no right to send me back to him

I worked so hard to escape from him, and I have been on my own since I was sixteen

I led Diana to one of the tables
and we sat down facing each other
She taked some papers from her bag and put them on the table . She looked at me with serious expression, and the words that left her mouth shocked me

"Your foster father was found dead in his house last week."

Leonardo

The moment we arrived home, I went straight to my room and laid on my bed facing the ceiling.

My thoughts went back to the barista girl. Was it possible?
