Walk Through Hellfire

Chapter 6

****Y/N'S POV****

I took a deep breath as I sat in the passenger seat of the van.

"It's okay to be nervous, babe but... I don't think it's too bad. Harrington and Robin will be there for you too. How about after work I take you out for ice cream?" Eddie asked in an attempt to help me with my nerves.

"That sounds like fun. I'd love that." I smiled.

"I'll pick you up after band practice."

I nodded and hopped out of the van.

"Go rewind those tapes, babe!" He laughed.

I flipped him off then blew him a kiss before stepping into the video store and walking in to find Steve leaning against the counter. 

"Welcome to Family Video." He grinned.

"You're cheesy." I laughed.

I took the scratchy vest that Steve offered me and pinned my name tag to it. A bundle of nerves and excitement went through me as I followed him around. He explained how things worked, what to expect, where to find my schedule, and the 'do as I say not as I do' speech.

"So first... We will have you go through tapes that were returned and make sure they were rewound before they go back on the shelf. We have a TV and VCR here for you to use take them from the returns bin, check them, when you're done you put them in the go backs bin. Finish this box and then come find me up front. Robin will be here in about an hour. We are gonna order pizza for lunch."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, man. Pineapple?" He asked.

"Pineapple does not belong on pizza."

"You are as weird as your boyfriend." He said as he rolled his eyes and walked out back to the front.

Okay. Easy enough. Rewind the tapes put them in the go backs bin. Not too hard at all... I can do this. I kinda get to watch the movies for free! I smiled as I started in on my returns tapes. There were so many copies of the Goonies! Now I see why Robin and Steve fight over who has to do this. There is only so many times I can watch Josh Brolin work out in reverse! An hour must've flown by because Robin ran in and hugged me.

"I'm so glad you're here! We can stress Steve out together! We are gonna order pizza! What topping do you want?" She smiled as she saw my go backs bin filling up. "You're doing great already."

"Trying to. And pepperoni? Steve said he is getting Pineapple! Ew." I fake gagged.

"Hey, it's good!" She smiled.

"Pepperoni for me please." I laughed.

After what felt like ages of rewinding tapes I emerged from the back room. It must've been a while considering the pizza had arrived. The delivery guy had the most beautiful long hair I had ever seen. He had beautiful olive skin and a dazed smile.

"Surfer boy pizza brings you total fresh deliciousness in pie form!" He smiled as he set the box on the counter. "That will be $22.50 my good dudes."

I handed Steve some cash I had to pitch in for tip and all.

"Hey Argyle. What are your thoughts about pineapple on pizza?" Steve asked, "My good friend Y/N here says it doesn't work."

"I say try before you deny." He grinned as he took the cash from Steve. "Also, has Fast Times at Ridgemont High been returned yet?"

"Yes!" I smiled as I ran to the back and dug it out of my go backs bin. I ran out carrying it like it was an award of some kind.

"There it is!" Steve laughed as he grabbed the tape, "Alright Argyle, I added an extra day for ya, no charge. Same time next week?"
