She's... Different

Chapter 3

Michelle's POV

I parked my car in the parking lot and checked my phone. 8:03. Well I am late. Fuck, I hope John will go easy on me. Wait shouldn't I be hurrying up.I quickly turn off my car and slam the door rushing in to the building.

I say a small 'hi' to Tom at the cashier and head to the staff lounge. I harshly sign in, but just as I finish I hear someone clear their throat loudly. I start to mentally curse everything using every word in the dictionary and even some new ones. I turn to see my boss, John.

"Oh hey John. How's the kids? Is Timmy feeling better? Oh look I must get going, see ya." I said and turn away and started to walk towards the door.

" Michelle," John strongly stated causing me to stop and turn back around. " 1) You're late. 2) I don't have children." crossing his arms an tapping his foot after he finish waiting for my response.

Thing is.... I can't think of one.

"Um... you see the thing is family came over last night and I had to make sure the young ones were okay. I won't want them harm's way would I?" Trying not to seem like I was guessing and pleading. But John didn't by it.

" Come on John, it was only 5 minutes. I really want to get back on the floor." I begged. He dropped his arms and face relaxing. He let out a sigh.

" Okay fine but you are working over time tomorrow to make up for this. now get to work." He said and turned a away.

I sighed in relief and headed back out of the staff lounge. I head over to the cash register where Tom and now Sophia are.

I hop on the counter and sigh deep and loudly. Happy when it caught their attention. Tom has long brown hair that he grows for charity and amazing blue eyes for a guy. Sophia changed her hair to this fire red to go with her nice sweet green eyes.

"Hey Michelle," Both said in sync. "we heard what happened. In reality it was pretty funny. 'Oh hey John. How's the kids? Is Timmy feeling better? Oh look I must get going, see ya." Sophia said giggling at the end, but hearing it was pretty funny.

"Well what can I say it was kinda funny, but it was all I could come up with at the moment." I said laughing a little.

I jump down from the counter and head towards the unpack boxes near the storage room. I open them to see our new collection of CDs , strings for guitars, small buttons with the best bands ever, and drum sticks. Be fore I start unpacking I enter the storage room and chose a CD to play in the store.

John usually leaves out about 8 different CDs to put on throughout the day. Today were TRXYE, Louder Than Bombs, Monster, The Pinkprint, Trumpets, X, and American Psycho. I chosen American Psycho cause who doesn't love Fall Out Boy.

I press play and smile a little when I hear Irresistible come on throughout the store. I nod to the beat of the song humming the lyrics. I make my way by to the stack of boxes and take the first box, which is filled to the brim with All Time Low 's new album Future Hearts .

"It's about damn time." I mumble.

I mean like geez it's been what? 2 or 3 years since that last album came out. Don't Panic was good and all but when having that as your only current music from the artist of gets a bit...boring? The songs are amazing I love them, but listening to the same set of songs with no new material in between gets boring.

Anyway I carry the heavy ass box to the "New Releases" section and set it on the ground. I start to the CDs on the rack in even, and neat lines, being the perfectionist I am. I continue to do stuff like this for the rest of the day, with the causal encounters with costumers.

.........

" I best be gettin' home Bob." I said to John before I continued. " I don't want the kids and the Mrs. to get worried." John just rolls his eyes and chuckles.

" Well I guess you better hurry." He said then walked away into his office.

I basically ran faster than Usain Bolt to the staff lounge and punched out. Then I classicly walked out then building and head toward my car. The drive back home took a while. I even cursed at a elderly women for being to slow. It was bad but I REALLY wanted to be home and sleep.

Once I got home I slowly walked to the door of the house with my keys in hand. Yet as soon as I opened the door Jazz through herself at me for a hug. I quickly wrap my arms around her small figure, and catch my balance so we don't fall.

I close the door and lock it before I bring Jazz in for a tight squeeze. We just kind of stand there and hug in silence for a while. Yet everything comes to an ends and I break the hug.

I take off my shoes and place them by the door to look up and see Tyler and Aisha standing a few feet behind Jazz with slight smiles. I smile back cause you know I'm a good person.

"Hey guys." I said slightly tired.

"Hey..." They both say at the same time quietly. I raise an eyebrow at them for there quiet and distant tone, but before I could press at the situation I was cut off by this sweet, quiet voice.

"H-Hi....Mish-elle....Jazz... loves Mish-elle...."

I was like the whole word stopped spinning. I know that I stopped breathing. I turn to look back at Jazz with a shocked look at she looked at her feet.

It is truly a beautiful sight. Also it was the last one before everything went black.
