I don't want to, I just don't want to go back. I know nobody and I don't feel like making new friends. But I'll have to go, I'll just be alone with my thoughts again. Waiting untill I can return to the darkness, so he can take me away from here. Untill then; pokerface.
I walk into the store going straight towards the back. Luckily nobody is here yet, and I've got some me-time befor this horror starts again.
I look up when I hear the door open "hey, we're twinning!". I look at the woman coming in, she has the same bright red hair as I have. "You must be the new girl?" I give her a nod "yeah". "Well, welcome! As a welcome present you get to work with me today. I placed a roll container aside for us, it's my favorite aisle" she gave me a wink while saying so. I looked at this woman, she is so... different, in a good way, a way that I can't discribe..
I cut the boxes open one by one, my co-worker is cheerful, what, somehow, makes me a bit cheerful. The past hour I found out that her name is Maeve, she is about 10 years older then me and that she is having a shopping day with a friend tomorrow. "So, what are you doing with the extra free time this vacation?" "you know, just chilling with some friends". It's out before I knew it, like a reflex. "Cool! Do you have a group of good friends or just 1 best friend?" "1 best friend, here name is Naomi, she is the best I could possibly wish for". I smile at the thought and Maeve starts smiling too. "You have to appreciate your best friends".
Maybe, my mom was right after all..
