Fired

I sighed as I walk out of the clothing store that I don't work at anymore. I got fired... Again, what was this the fourth time this month.

ugh how was I going to explain this to my mom. She was getting ready to leave me her place while she left for Florida with her new husband.

I kept walking the busy streets of Chicago, while getting a few strange looks or people avoiding me, and a few cat calls here and there.

I finally made it to the little grocery store that was a block away from my moms apartment. I walked in and the little bell rang but I didn't get the usual greeting I got every time I came in.

I saw the owners son, shane who has had a crush on me since he was a kid. I teased him about it all the time.

I walked up to him, I think he had his earbuds in because he screamed a little when I tapped on his shoulder from behind.

"What the hell Scarlet!!" Shane yelled while holding his chest like he was having a heart attack. I just laughed at him. "You know if your dad catches you with those in again, he will start cutting your pay." I chuckled.

"Yeah yeah, sure he will. So what did you come in here for? Did you come to beg me to take you in to the back room to have my way with you?" Shane said in a low voice while licking his lips. luckily he was squatting on his feet from restocking the bottom shelf.

I got real close to him, our faces just inches away from each other. I could hear Shane gulp as I got closer. I lean in more and whisper into his ear, which were turning red and said. "only if your dad can join" and shoved him on to his ass.

I lost it. bent over laughing and crying from the reaction I got out of him. Shane looked so pissed. he stood up wiping himself off while looking around to make sure no one saw that.

I laughed even harder. "Ha ha ha ha your so fing funny Scarlet." Shane said in a annoyed voice. I wiped away the last of the tears and asked. "So did you get any restocks on the gushers, punk?"

Shane sigh and said while picking up some cans that had fallen from me pushing him over. "Is that the only reason you come into our store?"
<store door opens and bell rings>

Shane calls out to the customer, who we couldn't see. "need any help? If so don't be afraid to ask." the customer replied in a raspy male voice, "nah I'm good"

I looked back at shane and nodded my head going, "yeppers, it's the only thing I like in this whole store." Shane rolled his eyes at me and pointed toward the back of the store going, "your crack is in the back, you junky. But I think there is only one left"

I walked away from shane who was now restocking the shelfs again.

I was looking all over the backs shelfs for the last damn box of gushers, if he was lying and they were all gone I was going to pound the crap out of him.

I finally saw the box of gushers and he was right it was the last one.

Not paying attention to my surrounding, I went to grab the last box of gushers and someone else grabbed them at the same time I did.

It must have been the customer who had walked in when me and shane were talking.

I looked up at the same time as the guy did. I gasped at who was standing in front of me.

"Ronnie Radke?" I whispered quietly under my breath.
