Cause and Effect

Part 4

-Daniel-

He pointed at me swiftly," I SAID LEAVE, GET OUT OF MY STORE YOU DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A HUMAN!"

That did it.

I snapped, standing up and grabbing the guy by the collar of his shirt. My voice going lower by at least two octaves. "Who the FUCK do you think you are." I dragged him over the desk and slammed him against a wall, leaning real close to his ear. "What's wrong you fucking homophobic bastard. Did you think I was gonna let you talk shit about me and the way I am and let it slide," I sneered, "Don't fucking make me laugh. I've dealt with so many people like you. Fucking homophobic bigots who needs someone to teach them a lesson. Well guess what? I'm gonna fucking teach it to you and make sure you never forget it understand? Just because someone is different and you don't like it, doesn't mean it's wrong or disgusting. Maybe fucking assholes like you should learn to think before I bust your face in. Got it?" I let him go, as he fell to the ground in complete and total fear... Well before he started smiling. Wait what?

I looked at him completely confused. He's smiling. He's not supposed to be smiling! I just threatened his life! He should be cowering in fear, crying for him mum, calling the cops! Something!

"What's so funny?" I back away slightly. Pretty sure this guy is a nut.

"Nothing, I'm just absolutely astonished! Truly that was a magnificent performance. You've got the job!"

I blinked for a few minutes, completely confused.

"Let me explain! My daughter, she was a lesbian, but had always gotten bullied for it. She would always come home crying from school but never told me why. One day me and my wife were going to get her so she could eat dinner but..." he stopped blinking back a few tears. " she killed herself. She had hung herself that day and... But she left a note. The note explained why and... She killed herself because people, the kids would always bully her for it." he wiped away a few tears. " I'm truly sorry for the harsh words but I just... Felt something. I know I'm making the right choice when I say I would love to have you work here. Will you?"

I walked out the store with Ally in tow asking a bunch of questions. Like "why was there yelling" and "what happened". I had told her to shut up and get in. When she did after my constant bitching ,I drove to an ice cream parlor. When we had gotten our ice cream, I lead her to a table and sat down across from her.

She stared at me with an annoyed but curious gaze. I couldn't keep the smile off my face. "I got it."

"What? She asked confused.

"I got it, I got the job" my face broke out into a smile. A big one too. Bigger than the time I had gotten tickets to a Demi Lovato concert.

She stared at me with a blank face, before she broke out into a smile and jumped over the table hugging me. Laughing as she did it. Which was soon followed by a punch in the arm.

I cringed and rubbed my arm. "ow that hurt!" I kinda over exaggerated.

"That's what you get for making me think you were all depressed and shit! You ass I thought we were going to have to watch chick-flicks till you got over not getting the job!"

"Haha sorry," I rubbed my head sheepishly. "but what happened was a... bit violent... and crazy... And weird... And a bit to con-"

"JUST SHUT UP AND TELL ME ALREADY!" She interrupted.

So I did. Well before she could hurt me. Again.

"... So after I threatened his life... He let me get the job... Well he told me why he did it but..."

"Why'd he do it?" she raised her eyebrow.

"His daughter... She was a lesbian but she got bullied a lot for it. So she killed herself because she couldn't handle it anymore." I felt my smile turn into a sad one, "I guess he wanted to see what I'd do if I was put in the same position."

Ally blinked. "well... That's a fucked up way to do it... I would've kicked his ass anyways."

My smile returned. "Come on lets go back to the loft. I'm sure everyone would love to hear the story of how I almost killed my boss," I laughed before going to the car, with Ally following behind.

***

We finally arrived back to the loft. Everyone one was here, so of course they bombarded me with questions. So I told the whole story with me almost kicking my boss's ass. And of course they just HAD to celebrate so we did. Which in the end ended up with me waking up on the living room floor with a popcorn bowl on my head. Just how it should be.

A/N: well dayum that was intense haha. Hope you liked it!
