this took a whole day I stayed up til 12am hope y'all enjoy ;) (SUPER FRIGGIN LONG)
-------------------
This job has me running ragid, it's super close to the holiday and I've been taking up shifts left and right lately to come up with money for gifts, now that my manager had an accident i was put in charge and I've always had someone to help me but now I'm on my own, it's been 3 days since I've been home (besides to shower..) I've worked around the clock, day and night doing work since my job doesn't close, we work 24 hours.. it sucks. And now I gotta deal with stupid teenagers trying to buy booze and lotto tickets because it's nearing the holiday. Yep, I work in a gas station.. it's taking it's toll on me.
I sat in the chair behind the counter as I was slowly dozing off before going out cold. It's been 80 hours since I got some quality sleep. I've managed to catch some 30 minute naps or my longest was an hour but that's it.. there's always someone coming in and getting something, mostly truck drivers since they work night and day too they'll either buy gas, get a snack or get some coffee. Either way I gotta serve them.
"Excuse me, miss."
I jerked awake and glanced at the clock, it read 1:21a.m. "hi, sir, how can I help you?" I said tiredly as I stood up and looked at the 2 men that stood in front of me, truck drivers. They came around very often
"Good morning, y/n." They said in unison
I tiredly smiled and looked at them both, Orion and Ron. "Good morning gentlemen.. early morning?"
"More like late. Looks like you've had a tough night." Ron said
"I haven't been home in 3 days.. it's been tough all around."
"3 days?" He frowned "why?"
"Gotta make that money. Christmas is right around the corner.. and I make some megabucks working before the holiday since no one else seems to want to.. and Becky had an accident, it was dark and she didn't see the car.. it's terrible."
"Is she alright?" Orion asked
"I mean, she's not dead or anything.." I sighed "a couple broken bones and bruises, she has me running this place by myself now that she's going to be gone for awhile. Whatcha boys got today?"
"Just some coffee." Orion said as he pulled out his wallet
"3.42 is your total." I said watching him flip through his wallet
"You don't seem too hot." Ron said
"You're such a charmer, Ron.." I rolled my eyes as I took a 5 from Orion
"No, I'm serious, you look really pale." He frowned
"Yeah well that's what staying up for days with only 30 minute naps does to you.." I said giving Orion change
He looked at his change but looked at me concerned "Would you like us to stay? we could keep any eye out for awhile.." Orion generously asked
"No,no,no.. it's ok, it'll be fine.."
"You just gave me a 10.." Orion said as he looked at the bill i gave him as i looked down and sighed
"I'm sorry.." I sighed and took it before giving him a dollar back "You guys probably got a lot better things to do than babysit me.."
"Not really. We just finished up our last delivery and were coming home, we were going to stop at a friend's house on the way." Ron said as he shrugged
"Don't say it unless you're serious.." I looked at them with a humorless chuckle
Ron leaned into the counter and looked at me with a serious expression "What kind of sick minded people offer to do such things but really wouldn't? We're serious."
