Finding My Place (Pierce the Veil fanfiction)

He's a Dangerous Person

Lilly’s POV

            I showered and got ready for work. It’s been two days since my night out with Luka and the incident with Matt. I threw on my make-up and grabbed my clothes as I ran out the door. I started the cold walk to work, ten minute commute. Not bad considering where I could end up. As I got there I relaxed knowing Matt and Jeremy both had off. This means just Luka and I will be around along with some other store girls. Luka is the owners daughter, so she is the main boss here. Jeremy is the manager, just below her. When he’s not here I’m in charge of all the store work and it’s workers. It’s like an assistant manager’s position.

            “Lillian!” I heard a familiar voice yell out.

            “Luka!” I smiled as I ran to her. She stopped as we got close and gave me a concerned look.

            “Are you okay? You seem pale.” She placed her hand on my forehead.

            “Yeah I’m fine. Just a little tired.”

            The day went by quietly. A storm picked up and started to get really bad. Luka decided it’d be best to close for the day. So we decided to send the store crew home and the two of us stayed to make sure shipments were safe and anyone who had ordered supplies could get their things. The door opened and Matt walked in.

            “Matt go home we closed today so we don’t need you here distracting us.” Luka told him.

            “Look I’m not leaving you two here by yourselves. Some weirdo could come in and attack you two.”

            “Yeah, you! Now go home.” She shot back at him. The first incident with Matt happened a long time ago but I had told Luka. Since then she’s been a lot colder toward him when no one is around.

            “Shut up Luka.” He sauntered over and took the box I was carrying out of my hand. “Can I talk to you.” He said it more as a command then a question. Just then the phone rang so I ran over and grabbed it.

            “Hello, Sykes Art & Supply Shop, this is Lillian speaking what can I do for you.”

            “Lils?” I froze. I knew that voice from anywhere. It was him, Vic. I can’t believe it. I’ll just pretend it isn’t me.

            “This is Sykes Art & Supply shop, can I help you? We’ve currently closed for business for walk ins but if you needed to place an order we will be here for pick up.”

            “Oh.. Uh yeah sorry I thought you sounded familiar. Yeah, I was wondering if you guys had some guitar supplied, strings and such, maybe a few picks.”

            “Yes, we carry various brands for guitar strings, did you know what brand you needed?”

            “Oh yeah, I wanted to try out Ernie Ball”

            “Yes we carry that, will that be all?”

            “Yes, and could I look at picks when I get there?”

            “Yes sir you can, when shall we be expecting you? I will also need a name for the order.”

            “I can be there in half an hour. The name will be under Perry, I’ll be with a few people”

            “Okay then sir we will see you then.” I hung up the phone and walked to gather his things. I didn’t want to be anywhere near the store when he showed up.
