Something you can see but cannot touch. Their arches are an illusion, solid at first glance—Rainbow. I mutter under my breath as I drag the tip of my pencil toward the boxes as I write the letters in the gaps.

Marty sleeps right next to me as I rock back and forth on the porch swing, listening to him purr as my hand gently drags against his fur, smiling as he curls up into a ball while his tail waves back and forth.

I lift my hand toward my mouth and pluck the joint Zayn rolled for me out of my lips, gripping it tightly between my index and middle finger as the smoke slips off of my tongue.

It's been an entire week since my life changed drastically. Getting out of a relationship, waking up in a bed next to a guy I've only known for a few weeks, and it's also been a week since I've gone into the record store.

Clearly I didn't think things through when I got closer to Harry, spending time with him at my workplace, and getting friendlier with him in public. I guess it completely slipped my mind that Steph isn't only Elliot's mom but my boss as well.

I've been far too scared to go into work so I've called off sick all three days I was scheduled this week. It's not because I'm afraid of her, because truthfully, I'm not. I'm more afraid of losing my job. I love that place, the record store is like my second home.

If I lose my job on top of my relationship I'm going to lose my mind as well. It's completely unfair and I doubt a normal boss can fire you for something as personal as that, but I have a strong feeling that's what would happen if I was brave enough to walk into that place after all of this.

So as of right now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my weekend and after that, I'll pray to God she cools down and forgets all about the argument we had, well Elliot had, with me last week. The longer I wait the sooner she'll become less tense and hopefully, then, she won't fire me.

I have another job, working with Dean, so the money isn't the biggest issue. Of course, I prefer to have extra cash I can save up to one day travel or even escape this place, but my biggest concern is losing a job I love and then having to work a job I dread.

The record store is easy. I can listen to whatever I want, I enjoy discussing music with the people that come in, stocking the shelves with some of my favorite albums is the best feeling ever, and I can't leave out the perks. Like free records, cassette tapes, and discounts on devices. It's a dream job, really.

Working at the car shop is stressful. It's sweaty, frustrating, and people are always rude when you don't finish the exact moment you told them you would. It's hard to keep up though. I try my hardest to do things on my own, but I'm a lot more interested in music than I am in cars. I only do this because of Dean. It's not like I'm interested in oil changes and how to fix brakes.
