In Another World(D.N.)1

Redemption Arc

I enter inside of grannies with a clipboard. I clear my throat "HEY" I call out.

Silence

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" I say a little louder.

"SHUT UP" I shout.

They stop what they're doing and look at me.

"Thank you you all can get back to the fine dining that is Grannies in a little bit" I state.

"I just wanted to remind you all that a very special occasion is upon us Miners Day"

"As always the nuns of Storybrooke are hoping that everyone will get involved and will help sell their amazing candles all we need are a few willing volunteers so who wants to join me," I ask.

They stare at me for a while and go back to what they were doing.

"Don't all get up at once" I mutter.

Leroy walks up to me. "Leroy you wanna join" "I wanna leave sister you're blocking the door" he states.

"Right" I move out of the way. "But if you ever wanted to help out it would be really-" "oh yeah right quite a team we'd make town harlot town drunk" he retorts.

"The only person in this town that people like less than me is you" he states.

"If you're coming to me you're screwed" he opens the door and walks out.

I open it again. "A SIMPLE NO WOULDVE SUFFICED" I yell to him.

I shut the door sighing.

"Dick"

I roll my eyes and leave.

"Hey mind if I join you," Emma asks walking your to me.

"Sure you wanna be seen with me I'm bi people think I'm trying to get into your pants too," I say in a sarcastic yet serious tone.

"Don't be a bitch" she tells me. "Sorry," I say softly.

"So what the hell is Miners Day and why are you beating yourself up over it," she asks.

"It's an annual holiday celebrating an old tradition the nuns used to make candles and trade them with the miners for coal" "coal in Maine if they were mining for lobster if understand" she jokes

"Don't ask even if I'm confused but I remember as a kid I'd always do it because it was a day I had to help people where I didn't feel like a mistake to literally everyone where I wouldn't have to deal with my mom and now all that's just coming back?" I say shaking my head.

"But it's an awesome party everybody loves it" "doesn't seem like everyone loves it" she states.

"It's not the day it's me last week I had like 10 volunteers this week gone" I state.

"You think this is about what happened with David" "I know it is few of them told me so before I punched them in the face" I stare.

"I've never been a home wrecker before," I say kicking the ground.

"It's gonna blow over you made a mistake on ugh David it happens but you do that's to do charity to try to win people's hearts back," she tells me.

"Well, I have to do something" I whine. Putting my head on her arm.

"This is the best and only solution" I state.

"Love fucked my life" I exclaim.

I sit at a desk at the school waiting for volunteers.

I look across from me and see two people gossiping about me. "Wanna say it to my face because if you don't fa-la-la-la leave I'm gonna give you all another piecing" they run out of the room.
