As my eyes drifted open I noticed I was no longer in the cabin.  I was in my own bed under the covers.

I looked around confused.  There's no way that was a dream so why am I here?

I pushed the covers off of me and stepped out my bed walking towards my closed bedroom door.  There was a note stuck to it at eye level. 

it read
"I'm coming back at 9, be here - Ghostface <3"

Classic Ghostface, leaving notes everywhere.

I opened my bedroom door and walked out into the kitchen.  I reached the fridge as my stomach started rumbling.  Opening it I realized the chocolate milk I had bought a few days again was gone making me chuckle to myself.  Did he take it?  Probably but I didn't mind, I found it amusing.

I didn't find anything I wanted to eat in the fridge so I decided to skip breakfast for today. 

I walked back to my room to check the time,  11:46?! I was supposed to be at work an hour ago!  I ran for my closet frantically taking my work uniform out and putting it on.  Then I ran out into the kitchen grabbing my car keys before running out to my car and getting in.  My hair was a mess but I didn't care, I didn't want to get fired.

As I arrived to the store I could see my
manager working at my cash register.  Regret filled my head as I felt terrible for sleeping in.  This job was the only thing keeping me from having to sell my house.  Especially now that my dad is gone.

I walked up towards my register quickly.

"Hey,  I am so sorry my alarm didn't go off" I lied,  But how would he know that?

"Your lucky I didn't have to do much today or else you would be in big trouble" He replied moving aside so I could take over.

"Thank you so much, It wont happen again I promise." I replied as he walked away.

I could tell he was fed up but didn't want to fire anybody today. 

I turned to the women that was placing items from her cart in front of me, She looked to be about 25. 
I started scanning them as I spoke.

"Hey sorry about that, How are you today?" I asked trying to make conversation so it wouldn't be awkward.

"It's alright,  and I'm doing ok how are you?" She replied smiling at me

"I'm good thank you for asking"

we only spoke a few more sentences before I was finished ringing up her stuff and putting it in bags for her.

"Ok so your total today will be 78.60" I stated

She handed me it all in cash and change,

"Thank you, have a great day" I said before she grabbed her bags

"Thank you, you too" She replied walking away. 

I usually only remember the first costumer I have every day because everybody else is just repetitive.  Before I knew it, it was 5:30 and my shift was over.  I sighed in relief as I closed down my register. 

"Hey y/n" A voice spoke from behind me.

I turned to see my manager walking towards me,  by the look on his face he was definitely about to ask something from me.

"oh hey" I replied

"I'm sorry to ask this but maybe could you work till closing?" He asked

"um.." I thought

Usually I would turn this down but I had already been late earlier and I wasn't working tomorrow so I felt bad.

"Sure,  We close at 9 right?" I asked

"yes, and thank you" He spoke as he started walking away again.

As soon as he was out of sight I sighed again but this time annoyed as I opened my register again.

Time skip to 9pm

I closed my register and grabbed my car keys and the wrapper from my granola bar that's I ate for lunch before starting to walk out of the store.

I got in my car and drove home quickly. 

The drive seemed longer, It was dark out and I was exhausted.

I pulled up to my house, getting out of my car and walking up to the door before realizing something.  The door was unlocked.

Did I leave it open? I wondered as I walked into the dark house.

The kitchen light was on making me freeze.  Somebody was in my house.  Then it clicked.  Ghostface said he would be back at 9 and it's currently 9:25. 

I walked into the kitchen seeing him sitting on a chair playing with his leather glove.

"hey.." I spoke quietly as I threw my car keys on the kitchen table.

"You know you should really lock your door, somebody could get in" He looking up at me.  He was wearing mask again.

"Yeah well I was late for work so I must have forgot" I replied

He stood up

"Well time to go" He said picking up my mask and throwing it at me. 

I caught it

"really? now?" I asked giving him a annoyed look

"Yes now, Your already late and we don't have a lot of time to do this" He replied walking towards the door.

"Wait" I spoke

"what?" He asked

"did you take my chocolate milk?" I asked making a face at him

He was quiet for a second.
"yes.." He replied making me laugh

I rolled my eyes at him before we both walked out of the house.
