It was a busy afternoon in the cafe and as usual Haley was working hard, she had been helping Karen out at the cafe for about a year now and it became like a second home to her. She grabbed the coffee pot and began to wander the cafe floor refilling half empty coffee cups as she passed. She wasnt completely with it her mind on Craig and what she'd said to him and his reaction. She continued to pour a coffee without her mind on the job and without realising she over filled and spilt coffee all over the table. "Oh god im so sorry" she muttered as she began to clean it up.

Craigs mother Karen, was the owner of the cafe. Craig's Dad had left a couple years back and that's when she'd decided to open the place. He'd managed to swing Haley a job around a year ago working along side him, which was handy. He came down the stairs and put his apron on in the back room. He pinned his little badge with his name on it onto his t-shirt and took a deep breathe. The couple needed a talk, he'd already spoken to his mother explaining the troubles and she'd given him some advice. Apearing from the back room, he looked at her spilling the coffe then dropped his gaze to the table he was about to clean. Convinently on the other side of the Cafe.

Haley finished cleaning the table and refilled the coffee cup, she hadnt noticed Craig come in and she disapeared out the back. She threw the cloth into the sink with force and slammed her hands on the worktop "dammit" she cursed as she ran her hands through her long dark curls fighting back any tears that were building in her eyes.

He looked behind him as she walked out and felt teribble, what the hell was he playing at? He threw the cloth on the table and went after her. Leaning against the door frame he watched her with his big crystal eyes.
"Haley... Im sorry."

Haley almost jumped out of her skin when she heard a voice behind her she span round and knocked a glass as it hit the ground and smashed. She crouched down and began to clear it up, as she did so she cut her finger on a sharp piece of glass "ouch" she exclaimed as she looked up at him. "Dont be" she said coldly not knowing what to say to him.

Seeing her smash the glass he walked over and crouched down beside her, helping her pick up the things. then he saw her finger.
"You ok?" Then her stern words hit him hard. "What do you want me to say Haley? My heads all over the place at the moment. I don't know what Im feeling ok?" He sighed and stared straight at the glass and not her, he hadn't meant to raise his voice but he just had.

"Craig if you dont want to be with me anymore please just say so..." her eyes were also focussed on the ground, her finger still bleeding. She didnt want to lose Craig but she worried about what he wanted and where they were heading.

He couldn't just end things their and then, plus he didn't want to either.
"Haley, you know that's not what I want to happen. I don't want o break up with you." He stood up with the shards of glass in his hands and threw them in the bin. Grabbing a cloth, he returned to Haley's side and held out the cloth to her. "Here, it'll stop the bleeding."

"Thanks" she said gently as she wiped away the blodd from her finger yet it kept leaking out so she held it tightly against her finger. "Craig whats going on with us do you still care for me...even if you dont love me..."

He stared at her, with his crystal eyes longingly. Longing to tell her he loved her but did he really feel that way? It would be harsh to tell her he did when he didn't, he couldn't lie to his girlfriend.
"I do care for you Haley, you know i do. But Im not gonna lie and say I love you if Im not sure I do. Love is a strong thing to use."

"I understand..." she trailed off as she got to her feet she opened the fridge and puled out some salad stuff she began to prepare lunch not really sure what she was doing she just wanted to keep her hands busy. "im sorry..." she muttered, she currently had her back to Craig and she felt one lonely tear trickle down her cheek.

He sighed as she stood up and hit the floor lightly, he shut his eyes nexhaling then stood up after her. His back was facing her so he didn't hear her apology.
"I gotta get back to work Hales, but we really need to sort this out."

Seeing her tears, he wlaked over to ehr and pulled her into his arms and kissed the tip of her head.
"I Love you Haley Lovell..." then he just walked away to carry on busting his tables.

Haley stood for a moment taking in what he'd said but she didnt feel he meant it he had only just said how he wasnt sure and she feared he was just saying what she wanted him to hear. She stood there with all this food in front of her not knowing what to do she simply stood there unfocussed and out of control
