||A Christmas Carol Scrooge x Marley||

||The next morning||

I woke up to find Scrooge gone from my grasp. In replacement was a pillow with a note. The tea stained note said: "To my beloved, I had to leave, family issues. My sister, Fan, has passed. By the time you read this, I will be at her funeral. I shan't be back for 2 days. From your beloved, Scrooge."

A small heart was drawn at the end of the note.
My heart sunk. He's gone, although I knew when he'd be back, it felt too far away to wait for. I wanted to see him now, I wanted to be with him and have him close to me, but he was gone.

I removed myself from the small mattress and tidied it back up. Dragging myself to my office, my legs were dead, it hurt to walk.

I walked to my office and sat down at my desk, slumping down and leaning my head on my hands. All i could think about was Scrooge. I wanted to go after him, but I couldn't. I know he hates it when someone other than family gets involved in family business. I didn't want to work today, I slowly stood up and turned the open sign to closed and went back to the back room. I lifted the covers off the mattress and lay myself down. My eyelids were heavy and closed over my eyes as i fell asleep.
