Novacane

Chapter 2

I just really love AM so it was obvious that this was gonna be the next song cus you know how I do.

Alor ran ahead of me and straight into his class throwing a goodbye over his shoulder, I laughed slightly and turned around, starting my journey back home so I could get ready for my shift at Ally's Diner.

 I was running late. As usual. So I decided to use a shortcut I recently discovered which cut my time in half but lacked the view of the lake I usually walked past on my normal route. As I walked, my mind started to drift off back to my recurring nightmare, the familiar sense of guilt rising in me, after 10 years you would think that I would come to terms with the idea that 9 year old me couldn't have done anything to save them. But you're wrong. You're so wrong.

It's all my fault, if only I had stopped crying and focused my energy on those wolves, focused on envisioning inflicting as much pain as I could onto them, then my parents would still have been here today, but instead I was frozen stiff my eyes locked on my mothers as her eyes slowly lost their light. I still wonder how I didn't drop Alor.

 Alor. 

The only reason I'm still here, he's my joy , my light in this dark world I don't know what I would do without him but I do know that I'd do anything for him.

With these thoughts I finally arrive at the diner ten minutes late as usual.

"The queen has finally decided to grace us with her presence, we are sooo very honoured" my co worker Darryl drawled sarcastically

"Darryl do me a favour and shut the hell up" I snarled

" Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Oh wait. Thats everyday" 

"Why don't you take that shit attitude of yours and stick it up yo-"

"Both of you stop this nonsense right now!" We both instantly shut up at the sound of our boss's voice, damn for a woman of 67 she sure can shout, I wonder how her husband deals with her loudass self. I looked around for her but i couldnt see her, where the hell is she?

"Is Mrs Golduna, God?" Darryl asked with some fear in his eyes "If she is then I'm definitely going to hell,cus I was the one who ate her red velvet cupcake"

"Of course I'm not you imbecille. If anything I'm Satan. I've just finally set up a microphone and intercom set up but aaaanyways  I KNEW YOU ATE MY RED VELVET CUPCAKE, YOU GREEDY DEFORMED LITTLE PIG" She then proceeded to rant about how she should have followed her gut insticts, after that she then proceeded to hurl insults at Darryl. I had had my fill of watching Darryl get berated and decided to go to the back, so I can get everything ready for the day. 

After an hour of being subjected to Mrs Golduna's threats on how when she sees him he's dead meat, Darryl comes to join me in the back looking very shaken.

"Awww did someone get a scolding" I said, pretending to be sympathetic, I was trying to hold my laughter back at the sight of his tears

"Shut up you little bitch you don't know what the hell I just went through, that woman makes the Devil seem like a saint" he hissed allowing his tears to fall freely. After he said that I couldn't stop myself from laughing any longer and broke down into complete laughter. "You're so bloody mean" he whined then stomped off like a 5 year old which just made me laughed harder, after 5 minutes I had finally managed to calm down and get ready for the flood of customers that were about to go through the doors in 2 minutes.
