Jeremy's POV
Slowly I regained my consciousness. There was something nice and cold resting on the side of my face. It felt really nice. The same coldness was on my hip.I blinked my eyes in confusion. Then I remembered what happened. Father had beaten me.
Soft music was playing the song 'Safe and Sound' in the backround. I turned toward the music and an ice pack fell off my face. Kevin was sitting on the couch.
Noticing I was awake he ran over, "You're awake! I'm so glad!" He hugged me like he always does and I gave a weak one in return.
"U-Uh, Kevin where's my s-shirt?" I asked looking down at my bandaged body. Did he mess me up that bad?
"Oh, it's in the dryer, it should be done soon."
"T-Thanks Kevin." I looked at the clock it was almost 9:00 pm. I grunted and got up, there was a small pain in my back but I ignored it. "You must b-be hungry," Kevin nodded. I reached into a drawer and pulled out a French bread then went to the fridge and grabbed some ham from the deli. I set them on the table. Afterwards I went to the cabinet and picked up 2 plates, cups, and a knife to cut the bread. Kevin open the fridge and carried the milk over. "Y-You sure you don't n-need help?"
"I can lift it!"
We sat down and made ourselves sandwiches. I looked up at him.
Kevin was smiling happily, "French bread is the best bread ever!"
"Absolutly, 100 percent!" We laughed. Soon we began picking up the table and putting the food away.
"Right!" Kevin ran out of the room and came back with my pale blue work shirt. "You can't got to work without this!" He handed it to me. Luckly there wasn't a stain.
I saw Kevin hiding my hat behind his back. I smirked. "What's behind your back?"
"Hm? What? I don't have anything."
"Oh really?"
"Well then I-I'll just have to tickle you f-for it!" I pounced towards Kevin before he could get away. I began tickling his armpits.
He squealed dropping my hat, "Stop! Stop it! I'm gonna pee!"
I picked up my hat putting it on my head,"Well I'll be l-leaving, if D-Dad comes b-back home just go to our r-room and lock the d-door again."
Kevin looked up, "What am I suppost to do while your gone?"
Pausing I walked to our room and picked out a few manga's, "You c-can read these."
He jumped with a cheer, "Yay! More manga's!"
"You remember how t-to read them r-right?"
"Duh! You've told me like a quadrillion times."
Smiling I got on my jacket, "Remember to get some sleep, I'll see you tomorrow."
I gave Kevin a pat on the back, "See ya, Jeremy!"
"Bye!"
I walked out the door. Maybe I'll get a little exercise. I began running in the direction of the pizzeria.
~·~
Checking my watch I gasped, I was 45 minutes early! I should run more often.
I went through the entrance and looked around. Music was blaring and kids were everywhere, the last birthday party of the day would end soon anyway. I walked down the long hallway to the office.
Sitting down in the chair I got bored and looked around the place using the tablet. Kids, kids, closet, kids, kitchen, stage, entrance... wait he saw the doors open and Mike walk in.
I smiled, he doesn't even know I'm watching. Hmmmm... maybe I could scare him. He wouldn't expect me here right now. I slipped under the desk, making sure I put the tablet on the desk when he got close. Footsteps echoed down the hallway getting closer and closer.
He sat down on the chair and crossed his legs. I tryed hard not to laugh out loud... oh I wanted to scare him at this moment. But midnight would be better. I sat here for about half an hour. Ten minutes till 12:00.
Mike sighed and took off his hat. My eyes widened. Stitches covered his head, lacing around his skull. Putting my hand over my mouth to muffle my breathing as images flashed through my head. Foxy, kid, blood, screams, yells, cries, and painful sadness. Mike was the child from the bitten by Foxy?
Mike got up and walked out of the office muttering something about having to much water that day.
Losing my mood to scare him I got out from under the desk and sat on one of the chairs clutching my head. Too many images. "Too many..." I mumbled hugging my knees to my chest and rested my head on them. I couldn't tell Mike I saw his head. It would be really acward if I was to mention them. Resting my eyes I relaxed in the chair. Why must life be so complicated?
Mike's POV
I walked out of the office putting my hat back on. "Ugh. I drank way to much water today." I mumbled walking towards the men's restroom.
(A/N: I refuse to talk about him going to the bathroom ._. So 4 minute time skip)
Sighing I came out of the restroom. All better. I made my way back to the office and noticed Jeremy sitting on the chair huddled up like a ball.
I jogged up to him, "Hey Kid, you ok?"
Putting my hand on my shoulder he looked up at me. "Y-Yeah, just t-tired t-today." He then let out a yawn.
"You're going to need to be awake for our shift," I said smiling down at him. Man, he was cute... did I just think that...?
I looked around trying to hide the hint of pink on my face that I knew was there.
The 12:00 bell chimed and I sat in the chair on the right side of Jeremy.
"Let another night begin."
(A/N: And here is the fourth chapter! Sorry if I took awhile, I wasn't up to writing it at the moment. As you can see I wasn't up to drawing either. So yeah... thanks for reading!)
