"I'm sorry sorry (Y/n) but my family is sick back in Missouri, I have to sell the store and help them" Freddy, my boss looked at me sadly
"Oh.. I understand"
"Im truly sorry about the immediate notice, but I have 4 months worth of your pay" he hands me an envelope
"Thanks Freddy" I walked out
I can't believe this is happening, I've worked at the bookstore for years, not like it's his fault his familys health has been getting worse according to him
As I'm lost in thought, I bumped into a man
"I'm sorry sir" I looked up to the taller man, he wore pink shades, and a fluffy coat, he look like a flamingo
"Pay the fuck attention" he snapped and kept walking, with a woman following behind
Rude ass, whatever I'm home now
"Gramps I'm home! " I called out, my feeble grandfather walked out with his cane, "My darling hello" he smiled, slowly walking to be, "I see something has happened"
"Oh no im-"
"Spill" he walked to the kitchen and I started making tea, "Unfortunately Freddie's family has gotten bad and he sold the shop" I grind up lavender
"Then let's look for a job, did he give you pay? " he shuffled around getting his laptop
"Yes 4 months worth and sit gramps we can deal with this later, it's late why are you even awake? " I help him sit in his chair, "I'm still young damnit (Y/n) I can walk fine"
"Gramps your 106"
"In my prime my sweet" he sat in his chair, I finished up the tea and gave him the cup
"What would you like to watch" I asked sitting on the couch near him
"(Y/n), I think it's time I go to a nursing home" he sipped his tea and chuckled at my reaction
"What?! You said you'd never wanna go to a home, why would you its me we are talking about I'm fucking awesome Gramps?! " I stood pacing back and forth
"I'm 106, your 23 you shouldn't have to baby me, you need to live your life... Get a boyfriend or a girlfriend" he watched my frantic movements amused, "Damnit it's cause I lost my job, I'm serious gramps I'll take care of you and-"
"Your 23, (Y/n), what have you been doing for years, work clean, take taking care of me, and repeat, you can't waste your life away without some fun in it"
"Gramps I'll feel like I'm losing you, i... I can't lose you, your so important to me Gramps" I sat on the table in front of him, and he took my hand
"One day I will have to go, but not any time soon my sweet, and if I go to the nursing home, I'll be cared for 24/7 and you can visit me" he pat my hand caringly
"Alright tomorrow I'll call the nursing home and we can see what can be done" he smiled and stood, "Good, good now I'm off to bed my dear" he hobbled away to his room leaving me alone
I walked to my room laying on my bed, falling asleep
~Next Morning~
The sun shine through hitting my eyes making me groan awake
Alright today's the day
Getting up I do my daily routine, back my bed shower, dressed and out
"Morning sugar! " my gramps said happily packing bags
"I haven't even called the nursing home yet Gramps" I chuckled pulling my phone out and calling
"Hurry up then! " he hissed jokingly as I leave his room
