Come back to me.

Harmony~

Catching up three days of work wasn't too bad,thank God for Jacobi though or I'd have no idea what's going on. But neither him nor Xander had talked to me since they left my apartment last week. It's bullshit if I say so myself. Xanders mad at me and Jacobi's just not talking. I'll catch him staring in class from time to time and weirdly enough I'm happy to know he's still thinking of me.

Xander hasn't put in any effort. He stopped calling me every night and his text got short,I mean we just started dating and it's already going bad. My pen tapping is the only sound in the shop,it's going a good pace but it's almost time for me to clock out. They started doing night shifts and some guy is supposed to come here for me to train before I leave. I don't know his name and I've never met him,I'm just praying he's not an asshole. I hear the bell ring and look up to see a short black dude. He seems around my age and he has a paper in his hand.

This must be him."Yo" I stand up and walk around the counter towards him."you Harmony?"I nod and he smiles."oh,my bad I'm kj"I nod and begin to walk bag over to the counter,him following behind"Well Kj,shits not too crazy over here. It's not hard to understand really it's kind of the same as like a corner store. You listen to a lot of music?" He nods."good,cause it's organized by genre and year, not alphabetical"He nods and smiles. I look at him for a split second,he's cute. I wouldn't try it though"there's no lunch break but you can eat at the desk,as long as you sweep and clean whatever you leave behind"

He nods and I watch as he takes in everything around him. There's not much for me to do here anymore so I go and grab my bag and keys"If you fall asleep it's whatever,boss never cares. Oh and your key" I dig in my bag to look for the copy of the key boss gave me to give to him."Here's your key for the place,lock up and an old lady named Cindy will come around after a while and take over" I hand him the key and he grabs it slowly.

Something's odd about him. He gives me a smile again"Thank you,uh is there cameras or anything?"I nod and he nods in relief."The computer has the system"He shrugs and walks over"Okay,don't wanna keep you here with my questions so thank you"I nod and walk out.

————————————

It seems everyone has a key to my apartment so to get some price and quiet I came to the library. The same couch me and Jacobi studied on. Sam and Colby has been my obsession recently,I like watching scary things,I like having the fear,reminds me that I'm real with a life that is in fact limited. I feel someone plump next to me and before I can look to see who it is,their hand reaches inside my pringles"Yo what the "

It's no other than Jacobi. I sigh when I realize it's him,he's high."You can't just eat my chips doofus" He shrugs and puts the chips back on the table. He reaches his arm out stretching and to no surprise it finds its way over my shoulder."so what are we watching"

"Sam and Colby" He shifts to get comfortable and now he's basically laying on me. He sure is big for always wanting to be cradled like a fucking baby."This is so obviously fake" I roll my eyes and shut my phone off. He sits up and looks at me,he's completely out of it"Why you smoking so much?" He shrugs.

"Why you so worried about it?" I shrug too. He grins and looks at me through his eye lashes. His smooth pale skin is scattered with freckles and it has a light blush of pink.His hair is all over but it looks good on him."Why you here so late?" I shake my head and begin closing my books. I was studying but it turned into me watching YouTube."just needed some quite"

"Haley still crashing at yours?" I nod. He gives me a comforting look that makes me crack a smile."yeah Haley was there and Jay wanted to see her who brought along Xander and then Jay had some studying shit to do but he promised this other dude he'd do it with him so he invited him over and it's just way too crowded. I couldn't even take an after school nap"I let myself sink into the couch and rest my head on his shoulder. I wish I could talk to Xander about this,about how sometimes his anger and clinginess can be overwhelming.
