Sleepwalking (Sequel to Dreaming)

Four

No matter what gets in my way,/ As long as there's still life in me/ No matter what, remember, you know I'd always come for you/ I'd crawl across this world for you,/ Do anything you want me to/ No matter what, remember, you know I'd always come for you/ You know I'd always come for you

-Mitch's POV-

"Okay, hold still." Mitch fixed the hat on the little boy and slowly backed away, and got behind the camera.

He quickly looked through the lens and snapped the picture. Then he looked at the screen at the back of the camera and smiled triumphantly. That was the tenth perfect picture that he took today. He walked over to the young boy, took the hat off of him and helped him down off of the stool. The boy ran and jumped into the arms of his father.

"Daddy, daddy did you see me? I was a cowboy!" The child's face lit up.

The father chuckled and looked back at Mitch. Mitch stopped and stared at the father. He had blue eyes and blonde hair, his heart pounded in his chest as the images tried to resurface. But he shook his head and pushed back the images to the back of his mind. He made his way to the cash register and he typed in the man's order.

"That would be $56.99." Mitch said, his voice was shaky.

The guy fished his wallet out of his back pocket and Mitch took the money out of his hand. Opening the cash draw and put the cash inside the drawer. He went to get the change for the guy, but the guy shook his head.

"Keep the change." The guy gave Mitch a small smile.

"That you, sir." Mitch got the receipt from the machine and handed it to the guy, "Here is your receipt. Have a nice day."

"Thank you, you too." Mitch smiled at the guy as he turned around and walked over to his son, who was looking at one of the pictures on the wall.

"Come on Scott, we have to go meet your other father at the diner." Mitch stopped what he was doing and he turned his head slightly to watch as the little boy locked his eyes on mitch's and his blue eyes stared into his. Then the little boy looked away and followed his father out of the shop.

Mitch sighed loudly and went back to counting the money in the drawer. He sat the money back in the drawer and slammed it shut. He checked the clock on the wall and he realized that his shift was over in two minutes.

"Hey Makaliah, i'm clocking out. Are you sure you are okay? Would you like me to stay longer?" He asked his coworker as she was coming out of the back with two cameras in her hand.

She sat them down on the table and turned around, her hands on the table behind her, "Its okay mitchie, i'll be fine." She gave him an encouraging smile and went back tending to the cameras.
