Losing Cafe Mokushiroku (chapter seven)

Your pov

It's been a couple days since, the death of Xavier and I trust all my friends. I was at the cafe and I was waiting for customers

Hailey: it's a pretty slow day, isn't it?

I nod making Hailey sigh

Hailey: if we don't get more customers soon, I may have to...

Hailey says in an almost mumble: close down

I turn around and leaned on the counter

I sign: what should we do?

Hailey: there's not a lot we can do

I sigh then we hear someone coming in. I turn around to see someone leaving, soon, Ryan and Michael comes out

Ryan: still no customers?

I shake my head then I sit on the counter

Hailey: get off the counter there's customers here!

I look around and saw no one

Ryan: look around there's no one here

Hailey looks around then looks at the floor making us all hug her

Hailey: I'm sorry, I know it's stupid but I don't want to see this cafe go

She starts crying

Hailey: everyone go home, I'm closing early

We end the hug then we leave and started walking

Ryan: I feel bad for Hailey

I nod then we stop and said our byes. I start walking home, once I arrived, I went on Alfheim Online. I open my eyes to see, Asuna and Lisbeth

Asuna: what are you doing online? I thought you had work

I sit next to her

Me: Hailey closed the cafe early

Lisbeth: why?

Me: the cafe isn't getting alot of customers recently and we don't know, why

They look at me worriedly

Asuna: will you be okay?

Me: it depends on if we can get more customers

Lisbeth: why don't you advertise?

Me: money. I should probably stop playing for a while. Bye

Asuna: bye

Lisbeth: see you

I log off and opened my eyes to see my ceiling. I take my amusphere off then I sit up and checked my phone to see a message from, Hailey from the group chat

H: I'm sorry guys, but I have to close

Tears fell from my eyes

M: you can't just give up
H: it's hard for me too, but what else can I do?
R: anything other than closing
H: I wish it was that simple
Y: so, we're giving up?
H: yeah...
R: good luck, finding a job, everyone especially, y/n

No one responded after that

Me: now, I'll have to find a new job

My phone starts ringing. I answer not bothering to check who it is then I wipe my tears

Me: hello?

Asuna: are you ok?

Me: no, Hailey has made the decision to close down
