ALTERTALE SANS x Reader : Time

7: Fired

It's been 5 weeks since the whole incident and sans still continued to visit the store...that was a good thing. Bad thing is I'm short on money and the rent is about to get due.

Its bad enough my pays gotten docked and I've been coming into work late now...right now I'm on probation from my boss to.

.....

I got up from my bed groggy and swung my feet over the edge. I still felt tired, the exhaustion was weighing heavily over me...but I couldn't afford to slack off now, I needed to work an extra shift so I can get enough to live on.

After doing my daily routine I checked the time and my eyes widened.

"Oh no I'm late!"

I ran out the door of my house and ran all the way down the street to where the bookstore was. I opened the door and panted tired from my run and looked up to see my boss at the counter with a scowl on her face.

Sans was also there but I didnt really pay attention to him at the moment.

"Im sorry I'm late, I didn't realize the time and-"

"You don't have to worry about that anymore because your fired, I've already put up sign for a.new employee" she said

"What wait..please I need this job" I pleaded with her

"You should of thought of that before you started deciding to slack off on your work"

I stood their mortified and sans looked at me with pity. I turned away and left the store immidately. I was angry I walked down the street until I came upon a bench and sat down. I put my face in my hands and let out a distressed sigh.

'What am I gonna do...this wasn't supposed to happenung...why does everything seem to be falling apart for me'

"Hey" a hand on my shoulder startled me.

I turned around to see sans looking at me with concern.

"Hi " I said sadly

"Are you okay?

"Yeah...I'm doing great for someone who lost their job"

"Im sor-"

"Its okay...I'll just have to try and find another while I work full time with my other job.....I hope I can manage" I said the last part softly

It went quite for a moment and I decided to ask him a question

"Sans...are we acquaintances?"

"Huh...yes.." he said looking at me confused by the sudden question.

"I see...well it looks like I won't be seeing you everyday from now on, heh.....I have to go" I said sadly and walked off.

Sans had looked like he wanted to stop you but held himself back.

......

I spent the last couple of days trying to find another job but I had no luck....I stopped by the book store in hopes of seeing sans but whenever I did he already left.

Nothing good was going for me. In the mean time I worked full time at my second job and it was taking its toll on me. I had to work overtime for the extra money, I hadn't realized just how much I was overworking myself.

We were making our usual stop at the restaurant called grillby's, I believed I remeber sans walking In here before- the last time I followed him around but nevermind that.

I helped carry the heavy crates and goods into the back of the storage area. I felt light headed but I ignored it. After putting down a crate I stood up and leaned on the wall feeling my vision blur for a bit.
