Kie's POV:

Today was the busiest the Wreck has been in a very long time. I wasn't even supposed to be working today. My mom called and told me that I needed to cancel my plans with Lucas and come in and help.

I was waitressing with my mom and and I was already in a bad mood because I was supposed to be with my boyfriend. JJ was in the kitchen with my dad cooking which was new. I came back to grab a tray full of food and as I was opening the door, JJ bumped into me and I dropped the tray with all the food and the glass shattered. The restaurant went silent and everyone looked over at me. I was mortified.

"Pay attention to where you're going, damn it!" I yelled at JJ for getting in my way and running into me

"It's not like I tried to do that"

"I don't believe you"

"Kie, I wouldn't ever purposely do something that in front of everyone and risk getting fired. I hate to break it to you, but your not worth losing this job"

My mom came over to help clean up the mess and she said, "Kiara, calm down. It's okay, things like this happen all the time"

"Mom, he purposely bumped into me and made drop everything. I told you I didn't want to work today and now I have to go back out there and serve after all those people just watched what happened. I refuse"

"KIARA.." She raised her voice

She then said in a loud whisper, "It was an accident, at least it better been. Forget about and get back out there while I clean up this mess"

"No, I quit. Fuck this, I'm done working with him" I said taking my apron off and dropping it on the floor

I left the Wreck and I didn't really care how busy it was. I was walking to my car with tears falling and I saw John B and Pope and they totally saw me. Shit.

"Kiara, what did he do?" Pope asked concerned

"Made me dump and entire tray of food in front of the whole restaurant. I'm just done working here with him" I said getting into my car

I drove to Lucas' house and told him what happened. He was super sweet and let me borrow his clothes as mine were full of food and he said, "It's probably his way of getting you back for my fight"

"Can we just not talk about it anymore? It's humiliating" I said

"How about we just hang out and watch a movie together?"

"I'd love that" I said as my boyfriend and I went into his home theatre and watched a movie

I ended up spending the night at his house. I didn't even care that it would piss my parents off. I knew I'd eventually have to face them but for now I was avoiding it.

JJ's POV:

Work was crazy and I had gotten into an argument/fight with my dad before I left. This was the first time he told me that it was my fault that my mom left. It hit kinda hard and I wasn't that focused on work.

I turned too quickly and ran right into Kie who was carrying a huge tray of food. She dropped it and the food went everywhere and everyone was looking at us.

Kie was so embarrassed and I felt awful. This was a total accident. I'd never intentionally do something this mean, especially in front of customers and her parents who are my bosses. She got into a fight with her mom and told her mom she quit. She left and her parents finished cleaning up the mess.

I kept my head down all night and apologized to Mike and Anna for causing the whole issue. I even said I understood if they wanted to fire me. Mike looked at me and said, "Accidents happen JJ, we'd never fire you over something like that. Kiara overreacted"

John B and Pope were waiting outside for me and they both asked what I did to Kie as she was crying when she left. I've never seen her cry and I felt guilty because it was actually a total accident. I told my friends that and even they didn't really believe me.

"Bro, you gotta apologize to her" Pope scolded me

"I suck at apologizes, she'll get over it" I said not wanting to apologize to her because it was going to be so awkward

"You treat her like shit, all the time. He's right, you should apologize"

"She treats me like shit too, this isn't just all on me but I promise that I'll try and apologize"

I drove the Twinkie to Kie's parent's house and I knocked on the door. Her mom opened the door and said, "JJ, what can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to know if Kiara was here so I could apologize to her" I said trying not to be awkward

I'm shit at talking to parents. I hate dealing with parents. I didn't grow up with parents, I mean I had my dad but he isn't much of a father. I've been told I have problems with authority.

"She didn't come home tonight"  Her mom said worried

"Oh, I'm sorry... This is all my fault...."

"JJ, relax and don't worry. Mike and I aren't upset with you. Kiara's at her boyfriend's house and I'm guessing she'll spend the night there"

"Have a good night" I said leaving her house and Figure Eight

I went home and went right to bed because I didn't want to hear anything else from John B or Pope. I slipped into my house without my dad noticing and I locked myself in my bedroom. Today was a really shitty day.

Kie hasn't been at the Wreck in almost a week and she was avoiding me. Sarah made sure I got nowhere near her. Tonight was Friday night and I was at a party. When I saw Kiara there with Lucas.

I walked over to her and Sarah stepped in front of me and said, "Walk away"

"Just let me talk to her" I said looking at Kie

"No, walk away or I'll make you walk away" Sarah said firmly so I walked away

I went to the keg and got a drink. I really needed this drink. I chugged it and then I had another and another right after that. I was prepared to get wasted tonight.
