At work next to him. It's hard to smile. Or feel any emotion. But I have to. I'll just do what I always do.
Fake it till you make it.
"What's up your ass" Alex says.
"That'll be five ninety five please" I say to the man. He hands me a ten dollar note. "That's four dollars and five cents change, have a nice day" I smile. It hurts to smile.
"Hello, troll face" Alex says.
"Good afternoon, what can I get for you" I smile to the lady that was next in line.
"Can I get a coffee with 1 sugar, because here they're just so fucking good" she laughs along side of me.
"Sure" I smile, I turn to Alex and say, "coffee one sugar" and turn back to the lady. He mutters something but gets it done. He places on the table, well more slams it. "Alex, please calm down" I look at him.
"Thank you" the lady says.
"Two dollars eighty" I smile.
"Here you are" she hands me the right amount.
"Have a nice weekend" I smile.
"You too" she says before she walks off.
"Why aren't you talking to me, is it the troll thing, it was only a joke" he says.
"No, it's not the fucking troll thing, let it go. And don't ever talk to me. My shifts over" I say before walking away.
"What did I do" he shouts. Just keep walking. Don't slap him. Just walk.
As I walk home done the side streets I smell the terrible smell of shit. I look next to me and see somebody literally to a shit on the footpath. A person I might add.
Why do I have to live this side of town.
I walk into the little shop and grab the necessary things like milk and bread ext.
"That will be ten dollars fifty please" the man says. I reach in my bag. Shit I lost my wallet. I search everywhere for it. Fuck it was just here. "Is there a problem" the man asks.
"No, just hang on" I panic. It has everything in it. Then I feel a tap on the shoulder. It's Greggy.
"What" I look at him.
"Well, I was just gonna give your wallet back that some guy just tried to steal" he says handing it to me.
"Oh my god, thank you" I say and pay for the stuff with my money.
"Have a nice day" the man says.
"Bye, thanks Greggy" I wave.
"Bye" he smiles.
"It's dark, you shouldn't be walking alone out here" says chase as I walk down the street.
"Well, who cares. What are you doing this side of town anyway" I ask him.
"I was doing what Alex was doing" he says.
"And what was Alex doing" I say.
"Volunteering at the soup kitchen" he says.
"Alex and being nice doesn't mix" I raise an eyebrow.
"He's not that bad" he says.
"Did he tell you what he put in my bag" I snap.
"What did he put in your bag" chase asks.
"Ask him" I say then I turn and walk home. I hear him following. "Stop" I turn around.
"I am making sure you make it home safely" he says.
"I will, just leave me alone" I say.
"What's going on" he asks me.
"I fine, just leave me alone" I say. I go to walk off but he grasp my arm.
"Your not okay" he says.
"Look I'm tired, let me go home" I say.
"Tell me what's wrong" he asks me looking concerned.
"Let me go home" I say really tired.
"Let me walk you home" he says.
"I don't want you to see where I live" I reply.
"I won't tell anyone" he says.
"Fine" I gave up. But if he tells I swear to god I'll shove my blade up his ass.
We walk outside a scrappy apartment building. I get really embarrassed.
"You live here" he questions.
"Yep, I live here" I sigh.
We walk to my door and the door gets stuck. It's always getting stuck. I ram into it which opens it finally. I walk in and see my mother passed out on the couch. Chloe, my little sister runs up and hugs me.
"I'm hungry" she says.
"Want a sandwich" I ask her.
"Yeah" she smiles, "whose that".
"That's chase from school" I explain.
"Hello, chase. My name is Chloe" she holds her hand out.
"Hello" he smiles.
He started talking to her and smiling while I made her a sandwich.
"Chloe, it's on the table" I shout.
"Thank you" she comes running. I go to my mum and think of how I'm supposed to get her to bed. She drinks to much. And gambles. Which is why I live in this dump.
"I didn't know you had it like this" chase says.
"Don't tell anyone" I say.
"I won't" he says.
"Can you please help carry mum to bed" I ask him.
"Sure" he just picks her up and carries her to bed. He comes back out and smiles.
"I'll order some Chinese if you want" he says.
"You don't need to" I say.
"I want to" he says.
"But let me help pay" I say.
"No, I'll pay" he says.
"Stop being nice" I pout.
He laughs, "no".
After twenty minutes Chinese came and we were all eating. He was so nice. He didn't judge. He's better then his brother. He's nicer.
I put Chloe to bed and went to say bye to chase but he laid on the couch and said goodnight.
"But the couch isn't a good place to sleep" I argue.
"I'll be fine, worst comes to worst I'll sleep in your bed" he smiles.
"Okay, if you need anything I'll be in my room" I say.
"Okay, thank you, goodnight" he smiles.
"Good night" I smile. I head to bed. I've never meet somebody so nice. So caring. I'm so happy he followed me home.
