Chapter 15: Chapter 21: Playing Simon Says

Liana

It has been six days since I have heard from Axel and with each passing day, I feel more miserable than the day before. My message to him is still undelivered. My phone is glued to my side, and I eagerly look at it every time a notification comes through. But it is never Axel.

Dad has been discharged and is recovering at home. I miss seeing him every day. Visiting him, was the highlight of my day. Nina is practically seeing Wilson every night, and I am happy about it. As much as I want to visit her, it is better that I do not see her. She is in love and on cloud nine and I will only drag her down with my sour mood.

"Liana, table six," the manager, Brad, says as he passes me where I am stacking dirty dishes at the wash bay.

"On it," I reply and clean my hands before I walk to the table.
