His secret

chapter 5

I helped that monster to kill a poor sweet grandpa, I am no better then him

"What's wrong with you today" Kori asks curiously, even I noticed that I been zoning out

"I'm fine, didn't get much sleep" I lie  

What if Kori is involved in this too? Since he said that he works with him,

My jaw clenches and it takes everything in me not to confront him right here right now, but at the same time I can't even say that I been lied to, I never asked him what he does for work

I mean I have but he would respond with a joke, I would brush it off

Suddenly I was snapped out of my thoughts when I feel someone biting my arm...

I look at Kori "Kori what the fuck! get yourself checked, man. Preferably by an exorcist so they can get those demons out of you" I stare at him

"I'm bored" he wines as he moves aside

"Kori, what do you do for work" I ask him, I made sure my tone was serious but I was meet with an usual answer

"I'm Batman" typical

I sigh, I can't confront him that I know that he works with Silvestri because then he would ask me how I found out,

"When are you getting off" he asks as he changes the subject

"I'm doing full time today, so 9" I tell him

"Have you taken a break yet" I shook my head 'no'

"Take it, I'm hungry" so am I,

"Can't, the chef is baking so he can't change me" he rolls his eyes and sighs

After a little he left, I meet up with few Karen's

Why is my coffee hot? Because you ordered it hot? I don't think those people have common sense

Why didn't you have me napkins, maybe because it's on the each table?

Can I have blueberry muffins with no blueberry? Like what?

And currently this woman in front of me is arguing with me to make her gluten-free muffin

"Ma'am we can't make singular gluten-free muffin"

"I am a loyal customer" that's my first time seeing her "and I'm paying so what's the problem"

"We don't have gluten-free flour" I tell her

She goes on how she cannot believe it, people started to get annoyed and it was a horrible day.

And here I am removing my apron as I decided to close the café to go finally grocery shop.

I walk to the store go from Isle to isle, take everything i need and importantly afford, after paying for it i was meet a wonderful surprise of nature

Rain

horrible rain that won't stop anytime soon, i bite my lip, i want to cry.

Today was just awful. I couldn't sleep at all, so I started the day feeling totally drained. People were yelling at me all day long,  i was working from eight to eleven, with one hour of break which i used only thirty minutes of. I spend most of my money on food and now it's raining

What if I trip and accidentally break things in the bag? Maybe I should wait a little longer. What if the rain stops or slows down? so head back into the store. But I can't go back to check the aisles because I've got these bags full of food. I don't want them to think I'm stealing. Also, I'm not sure if they put the receipt in it because I didn't do it myself.

i decided to go at their parking lot, why? because i have nothing better to do.

i go there and walk around, looking at cars and then suddenly i hear a gunshot? am i now hallucinating? yeah not it was probably a thunder, i really hope

but my hopes were thrown away when i hear very much familiar voice, why do i have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, how many times is this now?

i try to hide in the corner, now i would die all because i didn't want to get wet, now all of my close will be wet but with my blood instead, great, i love my luck

After another round of gunfire, my heart races so fast it feels like it might burst through my chest. The nausea hits me,  i hate this,  It dredges up memories I've buried deep, memories I never wanted to relive. I want to move, to do anything to escape, but my legs betray me. They refuse to budge; they've turned into jelly. I gasp for air, my breaths ragged and desperate. I can't afford to panic. I just can't.

i just can't, breath in breath out, i somewhere heard i should put something cold on me while panicking but everything froze has melted down by now

i shake my head as I press my hands over my ears, trying to block out the sounds, but it's no use. I'm transported back four years ago, sitting in that same classroom, surrounded by terrified voices of my classmates. The fear in their voices echoes in my mind, haunting me.

Tears slipped down my cheeks without me even noticing until i hear his voice, and don't know how or why but it brings me comfort, as if he never threatened me as if he'll keep me safe

i sniff and quickly look down as i wipe my tears away, i don't want him to see it, 

"can you walk" he asks, i nod, i try my best to ignore my panic and to get up but i just can't

i shook my head "i can't" i whisper and then i feel his hands wrap all over me, he takes me by one hand and takes my groceries in another

"don't look on your left" he warns and i close my eyes, he takes me to his car, makes me sit down in the front seat and after telling me to wait for him

he comes back after 10-15 minutes later, but i can't hear anything, it's like I'm under the water, i don't like this, it hasn't happened to me in forever.

after a second i hear him come back.
