Y/N POV:

I finally arrive, pulling up in the parking lot.
Icon Fashion
I stare at the big, bold sign they're building beside the store. I walk in and see Valerie helping a customer. I place my work bag in the back room and clip my name tag onto my shirt. I stand at the counter with fatigue. Another 6 hours to go, how amazing.

5PM

As i'm helping a customer pick out an outfit for her birthday, a new girl walks in holding a piece of paper. 'RESUME' I spot in big bold letters, we're definitely understaffed at the moment, she'll get accepted instantly.

I finish helping the customer and she pays for the dress. Now I get to talk to this new girl.

"Hi, my name is Jemma. I noticed this store is understaffed at the moment, I was wondering if I could apply?"
I read over her resume, checking off things in my head needed for this job.

"This seems pretty good, I'll just go get my manager to look over it too."
I run to the back room,

"Valerie, a girl wants to apply here."
I hand her the piece of paper, she goes over it and nods her head in approval.
I walk back to the girl, handing her resume back. Whilst writing down Valerie's number on a sticky note, handing it to her.

"Give her a call, she'll get your interview set up. Good luck!"
I give her a smile and she returns it back, walking out of the store. Finally, I won't have to work such long hours with Valerie.

7:30PM

I watch the clock, time always seems slower in the last hour. A group of guys walk in, they keep looking at me and talking back to their friends, odd. I'm always moody with the last few customers when they don't cooperate, I can't control it.

Suddenly, these 6 guys come to the counter, with a 'leader' in the front.

"Hey girl, you got a fine body, wanna give me your number?"
My eyes widen at his words, i've never been in this type of situation.

"Uh, sorry but no thanks."
I reply, hoping the clock would turn faster, 7:35 ugh!

"Nah nah, bae you a cutie for real. Come on."
He leans in closer over the counter and I step back, very grateful this counter stands as a barrier between us. I glance over at Valerie but she's too busy dealing with a customer on the other side of the store.

"I'm uh, taken. I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store or stop acting inappropriately.
I lied. I try to put on a stern tone, but i'm still intimidated, not knowing what else to say in this situation.

His friends step forward out from behind him,

"Come on cutie, he'll do better than whoever you're with now."
His friend says, I look back at the guy in the front who's looking me up and down with a smirk. I pull my hoodie down, over my thighs.

"Please, leave me alone. i'm going to have to call uh, security."
I say, they go quiet. I still see the main guy checking me out, I glance back at the clock, 7:40, fuck my life.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, I instantly have the urge to call Tom. I get my phone out, but I hesitate.
'No Y/N, he's not going to come save you. He won't give a shit, i'm not calling him.' I say to myself in my head.
I scroll through my contacts looking for security and walk into the back room, I can feel his disgusting eyes following my every move.
I peek out from the room and see them finally leaving, I sigh with relief. 7:45. 15 minutes, I can't do this, I want to leave.

I walk over to Valerie and gain the courage to ask if I could leave early.

"Valerie, can I clock off early today? I feel nauseous, I don't wanna ruin any of the clothes. She glances over at the guys leaving and I think she understood.
