[DISCONTINUED] "𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌" (𝓢𝓽𝓻𝓪𝔀𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝔁 𝓒𝓻𝓮𝓹𝓮)

Chapter 5- "𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒕"

I rumage through the storage closet٫ trying to find parts that would work for this project. Where did those parts go? I swear٫ they were right here. They can't just vanish into thin air. I'm 100% certian I placed them over here...

"C-Can I help?"

Strawberry Cookie's sudden entry makes me flinch. Luckily I didn't drop the box I was holding٫ although it does annoy me that she came in here unanounced.

"Yeah, sure. Could you look in that barrel over there?

She nods. I've looked away by now, and I rummage through the box I'm holding. Nothing, just as I suspected. I place it back where I found it. I sigh. How long is this going to take? I don't want to be a burden, not to Strawberry or anyone else. What if they think I'm annoying? I just want to help. I shake off the thoughts and continue rummaging through the closet. All of a sudden, I hear an "EEP!" And boxes falling. Quickly, I turn around, and before I'm even able to process what's happening, Strawberry is in my arms, and boxes are broken on the floor. I sigh.

"Please be more careful. You could've hurt yourself."

Strawberry seems to be absolutely traumatized by that. I can tell she wants to not be in the closet anymore.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry..."

I sigh. "You're fine, just please be more careful," I say as I walk her out. "You should stay out here... I can find those parts easy-peasy."

"B-But what if you get hurt? I don't want you getting hurt..." she's trembling.

"I need to find the parts for your lollipop. They're in this closet, and I know where everything is," I lie. I don't know where everything is. "I know the closet better than anyone else. I'll be fine."

"Ok..."

I shut the closet door while continuing to look for the parts I need. In a way, I'm kind of glad that she's gone. But otherwise, I kind of wish she was still in here to help. Oh well. I can find these parts easy-peasy.

That was the second lie of today.
