Thanks to Emma I have a new job at Gold's pawn shop. Believe me it was a last resort. Thankfully he's closed right now so I have to to get these judgy assholes to sign up for Miners Day.
I walk into Grannies. "Excuse me?" Nobody listens. "Hello?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" They stop talking. "As wonderful as breakfast at Grannies is I have to remind you that Miners Day is coming up. And as you know the Nuns of Storybrooke are hoping that everyone will get involved to help sell their candles. All we need are a few volunteers. So...who wants to join me?" I ask. They all go back to their day.
"Damn okay. Fuck you guys too." Then Leroy walks up to me. "Leroy?" I say confused. "I wanna leave sister. You're blocking the door." "Oh...ya. But come on it's for a good cause." I say holding the clipboard out to him.
"Oh yeah right. Quite a team we'd make. Town drunk town slut. The only person in this town people like less than me is you. If you're coming to me you're screwed." He walks out the door. "Who the fuck-" I turn around to go after him because he got the wrong bitch on the right day. "Hey!" Emma takes my arm and we go out together.
"Calm down. He's not worth it." I sigh heavily . "So what the hell is Miners Day and why are you beating yourself up about it?" Emma asks. "It's a town holiday celebrating an outdated tradition. The nuns used to make candles and trade them with the miners for coal. The nuns used to make candles and trade them with the miners for coal." "Coal? In Maine? If they were mining for lobster I'd understand." "Look ion know. It's being used as a fundraiser and I like giving back to my people. It's a good party people love it." I state.
"Doesn't seem like everyone loves it." "It's not Miners Day. It's me. Last week I had 10 now I'm down to 0." I state. "You think this is about what happened with David?" "Oh definitely and I don't get it. I mean he cheated too and we only kissed two times that's it I told him there would be no relationship without if he didn't tell her. And he lied so why am I the only one taking the heat from it? Why am I the one that loses their job, their friends, their life? It's not fair." I rant. "Ya I know." "I know I come off as slutty and a bitch but I'm actually only just bitchy and slutty looking." Emma chuckles.
"I'm serious." "It's gonna blow over. You made a mistake with David it happens. But you don't have to do charity to try to win people's heart back." "I don't care about these assholes. If they can switch up that fast then fuck em. I didn't need anyone before and I don't now. And again I like giving back because I grew up in a foster home for most of my life because my dad wanted to be a deadbeat and my mom croaked over and died. So..." I shrug.
"Love has always ruined my life." I state. Emma's phone goes off. "Sheriff Swan. Yeah I'll be right down. Well apparentlyduty calls." "Go ahead I'll come up with something." I state. "But hang in there. And if there's anything I can do to help I will." "Thanks Emma," I smile.
I sit at my table trying to figure out a way to sell candles. "Where can I sign up?" I look up and see Leroy. "Excuse me, father." I say looking up. " but hell no." I state. "It looks like you can use all the help you can get." "I may need a little help trying to manage the candle booth. But no drinking unless you share and I'm the only one in charge." I state. I shove a clipboard in his hand.
Business is booming. When I say booming I mean we might as well make the stand explode. No ones biting. Which sucks balls and also means they suck balls.
"This isn't working." "You're right we should pack it up." He states. "Oh so we're quitters now?" "If the customers won't come to us we got to go to them. Door or door." He explains. "The fuck are you talking about? They'll slam the door in our...faces. They'll pay us to leave." He nods. I chuckle. I see Emma as we pass. "What's sluttier no jacket or messy hair ?" "Uh...no jacket." I take my jacket off handing it to her. "Come on we're on a schedule."
We knock on a door and a man opens it eating a carrot. The wife comes to the door aswell and scoffs in our faces. Then she shuts the door.
One by one. Doors slam in our faces.
We get back to the Nun House and Leroy goes to talk to one. "You Nuns are gonna be real busy making candles. Cause me and Kiara just sold them all!" I cough violently. What did this eye level drunk bastard just say?
I grab him to the corner. "How the fuck could you lie and say we sold all the candles?" I whisper shout. "It's 5000 dollars Leroy. We don't have 5000 dollars!" "Don't worry about it all right? I gotta plan." I curl my fingers in anger. "A ducking plan? A plan like going door to door and having people slam doors in our faces?" "Just give me till the end of the day. I'll figure it out." He states.
"Why is this so damn important to you it's like you're-" I look at Krystal then at Leroy. I smack him in the head. "You like a fucking nun! Literally the most unavailable people in town. What the fuck?" I ask. "Says the girl who went after a married guy?" "How many times do I have to say we were not ducking together. Two kisses and surprise date is not a relationship!" "At the end of the day you're no better than I am." I inhale sharply. "Get out of my sight before I punch you."
I sit at Grannies drinking a milkshake. "I'll have what she's having." I look next to me and see Leroy. "You get it?" He looks at me defeated. "I think you're right." "Ya who'd have dreamed that the town slut and the town drunk could accomplish anything?" I ask sarcastically. "Yeah. Just dreaming."
"Look dude. A relationship between you and Sister Astrid can never happen you do know that right?" I ask. "Yeah yeah. My whole life people made it their business to tell me what I can't do. She was the first person that said I could do anything. Who believed in me. I didn't wanna disappoint her." "But there's always consequences when everyone tells you not to. And believe me, they aren't good ones. I mean last week I was just one of the hot girls who worked at Grannies and now I'm the town whore." I reply. I take a sip of my milkshake. "What about your good memories? "What?" I ask confused. "Didn't you have moments with him that you love? Do you regret them?" I scoff.
"No. God no it's the happiest I've been in my entire life." "Isn't that what life's about? Holding onto your good memories?" I look down at my drink. "All I wanted was a moment with Astrid. One moment to give me hope that any dream is possible. You've had it all Kiara. So stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy it." he states. "Because I haven't.""Sorry to disappoint but it wasn't worth it especially since the only one getting reprimanded for it is me," I say bitterly.
"Then sitting here drinking won't end this pain." "You have another 'good' idea?" I say throwing slight shade. "I can only think of one."
I go up the stairs to the rooftop. "LEROY! DON'T DO IT!" I say as he stands on the ledge. "We can talk about this. Okay, please. I can't have that on my conscience," I say dramatically. He looks at me like I'm crazy. "I'm not gonna jump." "You're not?" I ask confused. "No are you crazy? I could hit someone. You know how much damage I could do? I'm solidly built." he states. "Oh. Then why are you up here?" I ask. "I'm gonna get my moment." "The fuck are you-" "You might wanna duck." he swings his axe and I duck as sparks fly.
I look up and see the power go out. "Leroy. You're a fuckin genius." "We're selling candles sister."
Everybody swarmed us in seconds. We were a hit. I check the boxes for more. "Dude." I look at him. "We're sold out!" We both start laughing and he hugs me picking me up. He looks to his right and I follow his eyes. I see Sister Astrid. "Hey?" he looks at me. "Go get your moment." he smiles and takes the box to her.
I close up shop and grab the last candle. I walk to my bike and stare at it. The word whore is still written on it. I start to feel that sense of guilt again and turn back to the fair. I walk back in and feel a hand on my arm. I look next to me and see Granny. She takes my candle and lights it with hers. I smile at her. I keep walking with my head held high. I mean the switch up is crazy but I'll let it slide since she ain't the one callin me a tramp and Mr Gold pay better than her.
A crowd forming on the other side and walk through it to see what's going on because I'm just that nosey. But my body freezes when I see Emma cuffing David and placing him in her police car. He looks through the window and sees me. Then Emma drives off.
"What the hell?"
