first person, justine



I am currently at walmart shopping for random stuff because I can't live off of ramen for so much longer.

Am looking at my list and see that I wrote down pancake mix. So, I do what I need to do, I go to the isle with pancake mix and pick out the one I need. Just regular buttermilk. So, I grab it and put it in my cart when I get a phone call. I see that it is from my mother, so I answer it right away.

"Hello?"

I hear a bit of sniffing from the other side of the phone while I wait for her to answer back.

"Mom? Hello? Is everything okay?" I say, getting kind of worried.

Without warning, she hits me with the news at full blast.

"Y/N, he's dead." she says as she keeps on whimpering

Dad.

He has had something wrong with his lungs for a while now and it was only weeks, even days until something like this would happen.

The phone call ends as I drop my hands to my side and my phone falls on the dirty floor. I don't know what to feel right now.

I feel tears start to form in my eyes as I pick up my phone and leave my cart where it is. I then start to run down the aisle to try to get out of this place and home as fast as possible. I leave my cart where it is and bolt out of the aisle when I accidentally run into someone, harshly bumping into their arm, making them almost fall over. It is hard to see who it is with the tears running down at a rapid pace, but I wipe away and see this giant boy who is like 8 feet tall in front of me. He is wearing the walmart jacket employee thing, so I assumed that he works there.

"What the fu- heck?" he says, trying to be nice because he can't really be mean to customers.

"H-hey um i-i'm so so-sorry I hav-ve to go." I say, trying to talk through my little sobs

He takes notice and tries to comfort me as best as he can

"O-oh shit im sorry, are you okay? Can I help you in any way?" He says, trying to get a little closer and help me out

I shake my head no and point to my cart, "Just pl-please take my ca-cart, I need to g-go." I say as he nods and I turn back around and run out of the aisle to get out of this gross place.

"I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OKAY!" I hear him yell as I run out of the store. I don't say anything as I rush out of the store and back to my car to get home

(timeskip)

It has been a couple of days since my father died when I need to go to the store again. I hate going back to the same exact store that I caused chaos in, but I was too upset to go to any other store since they were too far away.

I walk into the store and go to the candy aisle, trying to get something that would help the way I was feeling.

I looked like a complete mess. My hair was everywhere and I was wearing gray sweats and a very big sweatshirt. I looked like I was messed up.

All of a sudden, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look to my right and see the same boy who I ran into the other day by accident.

"Hey! Um well, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but with what happened the other day, I just want to make sure that you are okay, you know?" he says, genuinely worried for me and just wanted to make sure I was okay.

I then turn and hug him. The biggest hug I've ever given someone. I embrace him and hold him like there was no tomorrow. I feel him kind of stop in shock as he finally puts his arms around me.

We stand there for about a minute or so when I finally pull away and wipe my eyes from the tears that almost came out.

"Ahah, hey look i'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I guess I just needed it" I say, trying to make up some excuse.

"Oh no don't worry! Everyone needs a hug once in a while." He says with a sad smile on his face

I try and smile back as he starts to speak

"Well, you don't have to tell me, but I hope everything is okay." he says as he takes a can of tomato sauce that he has in his hands and scratches the top of it in a nervous habit.

"Thank you. Thank you so much....."

"Schlatt."

"Schlatt. Thank you schlatt. I really appreciate it." i say while trying to fix my hair as best as possible.

"And you are?" he says, trying to do the same thing I did into getting my name.

"Y/N."

"Y/N, that's a nice name" I smile as I wave my hand like oh stopppp you know?

We smile at each other for a couple of seconds before he comes up with an idea.

"Here, if you ever need me for anything, to talk or you know anything, just text me or call me. Whatever worlds for you." He says as he pulls out a little piece of paper and a pencil he had in his worker shirt thing and writes his phone number on it.

He gives it to me and I take it and look at it

"Just in case :) XXX-XXX-XXXX, schlatt"

I smile and put in in my pocket as I wipe my face

"Thank you again, trust me, i'll need it," I say as I smile and give him another hug.

He accepts it and we then both pull away to go on our own ways. We wave at each other as I leave the store with nothing in my hands but a small piece of paper that meant so much.
