I woke up slowly looking over to notice that Leo was gone, I groaned sitting up and stretching out my arms. I got out of bed looking down at my disgusting clothes that I have been wearing for way too long.

I walked over to the bedroom door opening it slowly. I made my way downstairs smelling the delicious smell of pancakes. I went into the kitchen to see the kind lady who had let us stay here mixing up batter for pancakes. I can't recall if she told me her name or not and I had been too tired to even think about asking her.

She looked up at me with a small smile on her face gesturing for me to sit down. I listened and sat down at the small wooden table.

"Goodmorning dear, did you sleep well?" She asks, taking a spoonful of batter from the bowl and putting it into a pan.

"I slept ok, thank you again for letting us stay here."

"Don't mention it," She says, taking a spatula and flipping the pancake.

"I don't think you told me your name," I say leaning back in my chair.

"Grace Cedar, you can just call me Grace," I nod my head and she turns back to the pancakes,"What's your name?"

"Cleo, Cleo Lennex." Grace puts two pancakes onto a plate and hands it to me. I take it with a big smile on my face.

"Thank you!" I say wolfing down the pancakes completely ignoring the syrup that she set out on the table. Grace chuckles as she puts another two pancakes on a plate sitting down across from me.

"The boy that came here with me, where is he?" I ask, wiping my face off with the napkin she offered me.

"He left earlier with the girl to start working, he insisted on letting you sleep a little more."

"How early did they wake up," I asked surprised, I had expected them to sleep longer.

"They left around eight o'clock a.m. It's one o'clock now."

"What!" I say abruptly standing up out of my chair.

"Dont worry about it, besides I just woke up too," Grace lets out a chuckle as she stands up taking mine and her plate to the sink. "Go get changed, your clothes are in the drawer in your room, wash up too."

I nod making my way up the stairs.

After washing up and putting on the too tight waitress outfit I look at myself in the mirror. I don't have any makeup to put on so I guess I will just be going natural. I brushed my dark brown hair out and the shampoo Grace left in the bathroom made my hair smell like strawberries. The outfit was a tight white shirt with a mini black skirt. A small logo was printed on the top left side of the shirt that said "Cedars Cozy Coffee Shop''.

     Cleos outfit:

I put on the black shoes that she left for me on and quickly left the room and walked down the stairs.

Grace was waiting for me at the bottom of the steps,"You look beautiful." She comments and I muster a small smile onto my face.

Grace then leads me out of the house and into the bustling streets of the town. Everyone looks so...happy. We walk only for a little when she stops and I look over to see a little cottage with the logo for the coffee shop written on the door. It's beautiful.

I walk inside behind Grace and into the building to see that the interior is as beautiful as the outside. There are windows everywhere letting in the morning light and dozens of small tables set out around the room, some occupied and some empty.

The people at the tables are eating food that smells delicious and I can see the coffee in there mugs. I look across the room to spot Avila waiting on a table that is occupied by a smiling couple.

"Where's Leo?" I ask.

"He's working in the kitchens, he seems to have a talent for cooking."

  Sorry for the short chapter... I promise it's going to get better after this ;)

  Let's see how Cleo will deal with her new life!
