"Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can ever see and feel."- Tupac Shakur

Faiths POV

Three years since that incident.

The incident where I lost my so called love

The incident that changed my life

The incident where I lost myself

*Flashback*

(This was after she received the news of her miscarriage)

I woke up feeling sore again and I forgot where I am till I looked around. Soon all the memories came back.

Andrew in bed with Natasha naked. Andrew calling all sorts of name.Woke up in a hospital. Doctor telling me I lost my baby and me having a mental breakdown.

I hold my tears as strong as I can to not have another breakdown

"Faith, you're awake." My mom said while she stand up to hug me. How much I needed this right now.

"We tried calling Andrew, but he just told us to leave him alone and then block us. What's going between you two, Faith?" My father asked.

Soon enough the tears started to pour out of my eyes with a sob coming out.

I started telling them everything from, me finding Andrew with his ex in bed and accusing me of cheating to me being kicked in the stomach and kicked out of the house.

Once I finish telling them, my mom came to hug me, my dad was rubbing my back to make me calm down While Austin looks angry.

Austin quickly grabbed his coat and went to walk out. "Where are you going?" My dad asked. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm killing that guy." He said angrily.

"Austin, please no." I begged him. "Why not Faith?" He asked. "He hurt you and made you have a misc-" he was cutt of by parents shushing.

My dad gave him a 'We don't talk about this in front of her' look.

"Austin even if you did hurt him, it's not going to make me feel better and you might get arrested. He's powerful and can send you to prison." I said with sadness at my voice

"I already lost the love of my life and baby. So please don't hurt him because I don't want to lose you" I begged him and the looks on his face softened.

"Sorry, sis" He apologized.

"So what are you going to do now?" My mom asked.

Mom is right. What am I going to do?. I don't want to spend my life here because then everything will remind me of him

"I want to start fresh, somewhere far from London. Maybe Madrid." I announced. I always wanted to go to Spain when I was little.

"Spain. But that's so far." Austin said.

"I know, but I just want to start fresh again. I'll call you everyday and visit you when I can. I promise." I said.

My family looked at each other and stayed silent until my dad spoke up. "If that's what you want, then we'll help you." He said.

"Thank you guys." I said and we all hugged each other.

*Flashback over*

"Table number 14 will be your final one for the night, Faith." Amelia said. I looked at her and she had a smile at her face.

I gave her a small smile, but it's not a genuine smile. It's a fake one. I lost my ability to do a real smile ever since that day.

I grabbed my notepad and made my way to table 14 while putting on one of my fakest smile.

"Hi my name is Faith and I'll be your waitress today, are you ready to order?" I said to them. They wore experience suits and looks like that they can have girls swoon over them.

But someone is already better than them.

"Uh yeah, I would like to have the pancakes and some ice tea." One of them said.

"Alright, what about you sir?" I asked to the other one.

"I would like to have the American waffles with vanilla ice cream and chocolate milkshake." He said while smirking.

"Alright, I'll be back for your orders." I said, then I walked away. I gave the orders to Morty, the cook and owner of the diner.

"Looks like one of them have the likes of you." Morty pointed out. "Maybe you should talk to him." He said. I shook my head 'no'. "Why not? You're a gorgeous girl, everyone would've want to be with you." He asked.

"I'm just not in a mood for a relationship." I lied. I didn't want to date just because I'm not in the mood. I'm just scared that it can probably happen to me again.

Or maybe you're still not over him.

No. No way. Why would I be still be in love with someone who hurt me in every possible way.

"Faith. Faith." I was snapped out of my thoughts because of Morty calling me. "Your orders are done." He told me while setting all the food at the metal table.

I grabbed a tray and bring all the foods to the table. "Here are your orders." I said while giving them the food. "Anything else?" I asked.

"No, I think that's all." The one that Morty said who have the likes of me smirked again.

Soon the gentleman left. As I cleaned up their tables, I saw a $50 with a note. "Is that supposed to be my tip?" I thought to myself

When I looked at the note it said 'A nice tip for a beautiful girl. I would like to catch up some time. Here's my number: xxx-xxxxxx-xx'

I ignored it, threw the paper away and put the $50 into my pocket. As I finished cleaning up, I went to the locker room to change my clothes, then I felt a tap on my shoulder.

When I turned to look, I saw it was Landon. He's a university student, he works part-time here because his mother is sick and needed to pay both the bills and his tuition.

"Hey faith. Um I was wondering if you have the-"  I took the paper out of my bag and gave it to him. "Oh thanks! You make the best cookies, my mom would love these." He said happily with a big smile.

"Your mom is lucky to have a son like you" I said. With that I left and bid my farewells to Morty and Amelia.

It's been 3 years since I went here and my first time coming here wasn't happy or scary. It was more of a nightmare that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Amelia saw me at the streets because I was hurt. She took me to the hospital, when she found out I was new in Madrid. She convinced her Dad, Morty to give me a job at the diner and showed around Madrid.

Morty and Amelia were nothing but nice to me. Morty and his wife build the diner when Amelia was a baby. Business was booming.

But a tragedy happened. His wife suddenly died from a seizure and he was left all alone to run the diner. At age 15, Amelia helped him despite him not wanting Amelia to work because he wants a future for his daughter.

In the mornings, I volunteer as a teacher at an orphanage to teach kids. I always love teaching and hoping to become a teacher. But after the accusations I was fired from key smart.

I saw that it was getting dark and I quickened my pace. Soon my rundown apartment came into my view and I quickly went inside.

I walked up the steps till the third floor since that's where I live. Then I heard a voice I thought I will never hear again.

"Ciao mio bambi" (Hi my bambi)
