I wince in pain as I accidently cut myself from the metal table. I check for any signs of blood dropping, nothing but it still hurts. Ignoring the pain, I finish packing rest of the order. I pack the fries and fold the paper neatly; I close the pizza box and get two drinks from the fridge. I peer in the front hoping a cashier would be free to give this take away to its table, but unfortunately, they were busy writing orders. I take the food and go to seating area.
It's not that I don't like doing this, but I was just feeling a bit tired and sick.
As I reach the table, there are 3 guys sitting there, looking like they just got out of work, still in their work clothes. I give them their order, a guy stares at me, he looks like he is in his late twenties. Another guy gives me the total with a $5 tip.
They start to leave but the guy who was staring at me tells them something and comes back to me, the two guys wait near the entrance and talk to each other.
"hi, is there anything I can do for you?" I ask him with a monotone voice.
"yeah. actually, I was thinking and... wanna grab a beer sometime?" he says while he looks me up and down.
"no thanks I'm very busy" I say, visibly uncomfortable.
"you sure? I can pick you up, it'll be fun!" he says without taking a hint.
"no thank you" I say and walk away.
As I enter the work room, I think to myself –
wtf was wrong with that guy? Was I not being clear? Welp anyways at least he didn't go too far and try anything, people like that just piss me off.
I check the time, just ten minutes more, then I can go early with an excuse of being sick. I mean I do feel a bit sick, so I'm not lying.
I pack more boxes and occasionally carry them to the front for delivery or take away.
It's been twelve minutes; I go back to the manager and ask him if I can go early because I feel sick.
His name is Sal, he's very old but very fit for his age. He is sweet, nonetheless. Something my previous boss didn't have.
A sigh of relief escapes my mouth as I take my bag and change into my clothes, Sal let me off the hook this time, but that means ill have no excuse for a week now.
As I step outside and start walking, I turn left and see the same guy from before. He looks like he was waiting for someone. As I walk closer, he looks at me and approaches. Was he waiting for me?
"hey darling, that was pretty rude of you in there." He says with a smirk.
"I'm sorry I'm not really free" I try to sound confident, the cold makes me shiver. Darn it, why do I get cold so easily?!
"hey, come on, let loose, it will be fun" he tries grabbing my arm but I dodge his hand. I am aware of my small and agile frame and make use of it, while this guy is tall and lanky...what is that smell?...is he drunk?! ugh.
"sir, I can't" I raise my voice a little, this time I didn't shiver. my adrenalin rush makes me feel warm and tingly.
"hey, come here I can at least drop you home" he tries to grab me, this time he does it quick and I struggle to free myself. I try screaming for help, but he has his hand on my mouth, muffling my screams. I give up for a second and he lets loose. Big mistake buddy. I quickly duck down and twist, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back. He lets out a yelp and says sorry a lot of times. I've got him in a lock, his friends appear, and they look shocked, I see that none of them try to attack me, I twist his arm more until he begs me, I get up and leave. behind me I can hear his friends helping him up and asking what happened.
Ugh! I feel so drained and tired, and I feel even more sick after the adrenalin rush wore off. I enter a store and ask an employee where I would get the right pills if I get sick. He leads me to a section and points me to three types medicines. I thank him and he leaves. A quick google search tells me what I need to know about what kind of medicine I will need. I take the medicine and a bottle of juice; I can at least afford to get myself some juice when I'm sick. I go to the register and pay for the stuff and leave.
Time skip >------->
As I enter the apartment, I look at my right and see holden wearing his shoes. He must be going out. He glances at me and finishes tying his shoes. He leaves right after that. I go to the kitchen and cut myself some fruits, I don't want to cook right now since it's not a very good choice for when you are sick, I usually used to eat fruits when I was sick. it made me feel better faster. I go to my room and setup everything for stream. It was Wednesday today, and Sal told me to take a day off tomorrow if I don't feel good. Bless that guy!
I popped a pill and drank some juice as I started the stream, I would usually play Minecraft on Wednesdays, but my chat gives me tasks to do along the way, like killing pillagers or trapping creepers in a small cage, all in survival mode. And I have a different world just for this.
I open Minecraft and I start doing the tasks, I tell chat I'm a bit sick right now and I get some hearts, a I get a dono telling me to rest good. I thank the dono and promise chat I will sleep well today because of them. I had a very small number of people watching me, but I didn't care, I get a task reading – build big statues of your favourite streamers – I smiled at it and started building a big statue of technoblade, quackity, dream and Niki. I wanted to do tubbo too but that would take long plus I was already making a tubbo statue with bees around it, but chat didn't know. Suddenly a lot of people joined in, and i mean a lot. this is definitely a raid!
"oh wow! thank youuu! wow there are literally so many people!" i said getting excited, not thaat excited. i saw a lot people spamming karl in the comments. omg karl just raided me!
"thanks so much karl, i apreciate" i said smiling a little.
i knew karl was a big deal in twitch, and holy shiz wow im really happy rn.
"woah cool, i got 10k more viewers in 10 minutes. thanks joining in guys :)."
the chat was getting nonsensical at this point, they were either saying hii, or pog or saying how cute i looked. but a few were catching my eye -
icehot6745: shes so pretty :")
user748:pogggg
gogyinnit: damn shes so chil, id be fraeking out
poger: wow shes so chil rn, doesnt even care lol
user7438: omg shes so cute wtf
wow these guys are literally freaking out about me not getting very excited. lol what losers.
just then i saw a comment from karl-
karljacobs: your builds are cool :)
"thanks karl, i love your streams too :)" i said with a smile. wow i cant believe that karl freaking jacobs complimented me :D.
I started getting more tasks, so I started finishing them. as the stream was coming to an end the viwers number was 11k, pretty cool if i say so myself.
a sharp pain shot through my head, I tried to act lowkey, but it was a lot, so I turned off the camera and told chat that I'll see them in the next stream and finished everything. As I made sure everything on my computer was closed, I switched it off and covered it, mainly so i dont have to worry about the dust setting in and also im a bit paranoid so i always cover up my cameras.
I lay down and close my eyes. As the pain got more and more weak, I slowly got drifted away to sleep.
a/n - Sal looks like Danny DeVito, because why tf not amirite.
also sorry for short chapters idk how to write it any longer, my usual gaol is 1k+ words.
but thanks for reading, ily :D
