Memories That Fade Like Photographs

Once noon came around I decided to head to the book store to see if Alex wanted to grab something to eat. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. It got so bad that my boss, Matt, told me to stop grinning because it was freaking out the customers. He had just laughed and walked off when I flipped him the bird. As I was about to walk out the door, it swung open and connected with my face. I cried out as I fell to the floor. Luckily it wasn't bleeding, just hurt like a bitch.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? I'll go get... Wait, Jack?"

I looked up and saw Emily, my ex girlfriend. I had tried to date girls after I lost Alex completely, but it just didn't work out. Luckily she broke up with me, claiming I seemed too 'out of it' and to 'call her when I was ready to commit'.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Ill go find... Wait, Jack?"
"Emily? Hey, funny seeing you here, like this..."
We both let out an awkward laugh then went silent as I stood up. We both stood there awkwardly before she finally spoke.
"Hey, want to go get some coffee?"
"Uh... Well sure, why not?"
She smiled at me and we walked out and towards the coffee shop. Once we got our drinks we say down and started to talk.
Before I knew it, it was almost 8 at night. Our drinks had been long gone but we just got so caught up talking. She reached over and placed her hand on top of mine as we laughed. Then before I could react she was leaning across the table and pressed her lips to mine. It took me a second before I pulled away.
"Emily! What the-"
I stopped as I saw someone standing by the door. Alex was staring at me, tears swimming in his eyes. Shit, I was supposed to meet up with him after work! We stare at each other before he turns and run out the door.
"Alex!"
I call out after him and was about to run to him when Emily grabbed my arm.
"Who was that?"
She looked up at me with an annoyed expression that just kind of pissed me off.
"My boyfriend."
Before she could reply I pulled my arm from her grip and ran out the door and towards where I saw him go. I have to find him and explain! I can't lose him again...
