   "Awww c'mon maaan.." I heard a laughing Joe say as he becomes covered in baby powder. James and Aleks were doing an Amazon Prime Time recording and I guess Aleks got James baby powder. Not just any baby powder, it was some sort of colorful powder in case you ever think your child needs more color, as stated the summary of the item on the website. Aleks had gotten James the variety pack, so it was going to very colorful and messy around the office today. I was in the "break room" part of the office as James calls it, getting out a large tub of strawberry yogurt. I see Joe standing with the camera, covered in pink powder. With the container of yogurt in one hand and a spoon in the other, I walk over to the messy scene. James sees me. Joe gives Aleks the camera so he can try to get some of the powder off. Aleks then spots me and records me going to Joe. "Hey Joe..." I say as I scoop a spoonful of yogurt out.


"(Y/N)...What are you doing?" James asked as I push the spoon to Joe's mouth. "Hey! Don't feed him! He's not allowed to eat!" James then shouts with a goofy smile. Joe accepts the spoon of yogurt and swallows. "Why can't Jo-", before I can even finish the words coming out my mouth, James tossed the pink powder all over me. I had froze after that, mouth open and full of pink powder. My yogurt was ruined as well. "Motherfucker..." I mumble and look at my yogurt. James is in full laughter after his prank, Aleks was snickering behind the camera, and Joe was laughing less than James. I tilt my head down and let what powder is in my mouth pour into the ruined yogurt and just mix the two. "James....I hope you're hungry now." I simply say. He looks confused and I show him what I mean by pouring the yogurt on his head. Aleks jumps from the couch and laughs, "Oh shit dude!" He exclaimed while recording James just taking it. I then toss the empty tub at James. "Now I have to get something else to eat you cunt!" I shout as I walk back to the fridge. I laughed and went about my business. That's when I heard it. Ding! It was a notification from Facebook. I didn't pay any mind to it though. Too hungry. Unfortunately, there was nothing else for me. Being used to not eating, you shut the fridge and go outside to shake the powder off. As I'm shaking the powder off, my phone goes off repeatedly. Ding! Ding ding! Ding! As it continues, I start to wonder what the hell is making my phone go crazy. Joe comes outside, interrupting my thoughts. As I look at him though, he's covered in two other colors: green and purple. "Duuude...they're getting fucking wild in there. Sorry they ruined your yogurt (Y/N). I have a candy bar you can have to make up for it." Joe told me. I shake my head, declining the candy. I sometimes forget to eat, so they make sure I'm fine for the day, every day. 


   "It's cool, I'll grab some food when I head home in an hour." I tell Joe. Before I go in, Joe stops me.


"(Y/N), your computer was going off before I came out here. You might wanna check on that shit before James and Aleks decide to see what's up." Joe tells me.


"On it." I replied on my way back inside. 


   I'm welcomed back by the sight of a now colorful and sticky James and Aleks holding a bottle. He turns the camera off as they're wrapping up. I shake my head with a smile on my face as this was a normal day here at the Cow Chop office. It was something I could deal with. Everyone cared about everyone. It was a safe atmosphere. Safe....all my life, I've never felt safe. Never TRULY safe. And here I am working with these guys, someplace I know I SHOULDN'T feel safe, and ironically, I feel safe. I feel at home and welcomed for once and I love it. 

"(Y/N)...you need to eat. You stayed here for lunch dude." James told me as I went to my desk. 

"I'll eat when I leave. Promise." I reassure James. Aleks then butts in.

"I'll take her to McDonald's and get her some nuggets and a burger. I'll make sure she eats this time." Aleks tells James as the two start to clean up.

"Alright man, just make sure (Y/N) eats all of it." James mumbles a bit too loudly. 

"I can fucking hear you." I tell him as I get on Facebook to see what was happening. That's when everything went down hill...


   I clicked the notifications to see a friend request from the boy I convinced myself was dead. Seth Thompson sent you a friend request. My heart dropped and my smile was gone. I found myself frozen again. I clicked out of the notifications only to find a couple messages from none other than Seth. It scared me stiff. I felt everything flood back and hit me as I read the messages.

Seth: "Hey, long time (Y/N)."
Seth: "I need to talk to you, shit is bad and...I miss you a lot."
Seth: "Message me when you can."


   I stare and repeatedly reread the messages. Suddenly, James comes up to my desk. Before he speaks, he sees my tears. "(Y/N)....what's wrong?" James immediately ask. "You're crying dude.." His words grabbed Aleks' attention and he walks over. He observes the scene and I just shake my head. I can't find words, but hear my stutters. I quickly stand up and look at James. "I n-need to leave... I c-can't..." I stop and quickly wipe my face. That's when a fake smile come across my face. "I'm fine...can I uuh....just go home early today." I ask James. 

"Yeah. Aleks is gonna take you to get some food first though." James says and I just grab my coat and walk passed the two males. "I'll be by your car." I tell Aleks. They watch me leave and then investigate the image on screen. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I forgot to log out of Facebook. And too caught up to notice Joe pass me. He saw my expression, and went straight to James and Aleks, who were now reading the messages and upset about it. "Hey, what's wrong with (Y/N)? She looks upset." Joe said. James points to the screen, anger was clear on his face. "This fuck messaged her. That dude who left her for a slut says he misses (Y/N)." James looked over at Aleks, who was now silent. Joe went over and looked at the screen. "Awww man, that's bad." Joe said and fixed his hat. James then began to type. 

(Y/N): Hey, this is her friend James. I don't think you should be trying to contact (Y/N). 
Seth is typing.
Seth:
And why not? Are you her boyfriend?

That's when Aleks took the keyboard and began to type. He was just as upset, but was going to be just as civil as James.

(Y/N): James isn't her boyfriend. We'd appreciate it if you just didn't contact her again after this. You caused her enough trouble. For her health and happiness, just leave her alone.


The three wait for a reply, but didn't get one, instead saw that Seth had read the message. They logged out of the Facebook and assumed it was the end of it. I stood outside next to Aleks' car, waiting and wondering what was taking so long. That's when I saw Aleks come out. "Hey...you ready loser?" Aleks asked me as he fumbled the keys out his pocket. He smiles at me and I just smile back. The feeling of warmth and happiness took over once again. "Yeah..I'm ready." He points to his car, indicating it as unlocked. I go to the passenger side and get in the car. After a few minutes, Aleks backs out and drives out of the small parking lot, now heading to McDonald's.
