i was packing up boxes at the store when i heard the little bell.
it had been two weeks since i last saw sam. i havent heard a word.
but slowly ive been less on-edge and scared to see him. now im just upset. where was he?
i peeked out the door to the backroom to see a curly haired boy browsing the shelves. my heart sank. josh.
did he know about the situation? did he come to talk to me? should i go say hi?
i walked out and sat the box on the counter. the boy turned around when he heard me.
"hello angel." he said softly while approaching me for a hug. "i wanted to come see you before we left."
left?
"oh. hey josh. already done with the record?" i said hugging him back softly.
"not entirely. we still have some tweaks and mixing kinks we need to work out. noting sam cant fix while on the road." he said letting go of me.
my stomach turned.
"sam.. how is he.." i asked, then immediately regret asking.
"hes quite frankly a mess. a quiet mess. hes a workaholic right now. i tried to get him to come with me but he wouldnt leave the van." he said with a sad look in his eyes.
i nodded softly. "will you tell him that..." i started
josh nodded softly
"tell him that i wish him the best. all of you. i cant wait to see you again sometime soon." i said tapping my finger on the desk. holding back tears.
he nodded and grabbed my hand, giving it a soft kiss. "we'll be in touch." he said nodding again with a soft smile. he turned and made his way out of the store.
that was the last time i saw a kiszka.
—hii!! sorry for the short half chapters. i wanted to include these into one but i felt like having them on separate pages gave them more edge. :) thanks!
