I can't believe it. The only person who believed in me is dead. I've got no job and I haven't got that much money. I think I'll go back and apologise, tell Vanessa I'm sorry, and hopefully she'll let me work there again. I'll listen to her, obey her rules, and I won't be rude.
A week later I grab my coat and walk out the door into the cool night to do just that. As I walk, I shiver a bit, and as I pull on my coat, I hope they're still open.
The walk there is cold. Cold and boring. A single snowflake flutters down and lands on my nose, and even though that's something that always makes me laugh, I'm too grim (from Doreen's death.)to even care. I reach up and wipe it off.
As I round the corner to the shop, a car drives past, playing music loudly. A bit of rain from the road on this suddenly cold night splashes up against my legs. In my foul mood I give them the finger. A light is coming from the coffee shop next to my old place of work and I stop to look in the window. A young man(older than me though) with red hair sits at a corner table near the window, gently sipping coffee from a gray mug. He looks up as I observe and offers a small smile. I blush a tiny bit, happy that someone cares.
I continue on my way, arriving to a dark shop. The lights are out in the front but out the back I can see lights. I knock on the door and Vanessa swears loudly from the back room. She comes out to the front brandishing a mop and shouting threats. "We shut up an hour ago! Can't you see we're closed!!? Away, leave me be! Come again tomorrow, it'll be your last chance anyway!we close up after tomorr-oh." And she starts a whole other round of shouting at me through the glass. As she's yelling, "I hope you rot in hell, because you leaving stopped customers-"(I didn't hear the rest), I turned around and walked away.
As I walked past the coffee shop, I contemplated going in and chatting with the young man with red hair, but decided against it. I needed a good nights sleep. When I get home(after a good half hour's dordle(how to spell... To spell or not to spell, hmm) I all but collapse on my bed and curl up, and as Soots crawls onto the bed next to me, I fall asleep.

The next, morning, I sharpen my arrows(lethal.... Not, unless you are against love) and head out to make love(don't even say it) and I immediately spot a couple(boy and girl:only friends, but crushing majorly on one another, I observe) and shoot the girl. It's times like these I'm glad no one else can see the arrows. She nearly falls off the swing she is sitting on and when she regains her balance, leaps up and all but eat her friend's face off. His beanie falls to the ground as he gets out off his swing, and the leaves strewn across the park ground rustle as they sway, his face in her hands.
I smile a little as I keep walking. I spot the red-headed man sitting on a park bench, but I can't bring myself to go over. I don't know why, I just can't, and I get light-headed just seeing him. As I continue on my way, my thoughts are stuck on him, even as I observe and shoot arrow after arrow.
