I'm Sorry- Garrett Watts x Alex

Chapter 1

The picture doesn't relate to the story. I don't own the picture either. Enjoy!

Garrett's POV

I woke up to my bedside table vibrating, and sunlight peeking through my curtain. I groaned in frustration as I realized that my boss had texted me. I grabbed my phone off the table while propping myself up with my elbows and managed to read the text he had sent me a minute before. "I have another job for you." It said. I flopped back onto my bed, only wanting to snuggle up in the covers and fall asleep again. But I knew that the boss would kill me. I threw myself out of bed and picked out a blue plaid shirt with a dark brown shirt to wear under it. I grabbed a random pair of skinny jeans, which happened to be dark blue with small holes littering the knee. I threw them over my shoulder and walked to the small bathroom that was connected to my bedroom. I set the clothes onto the counter, and put my music on shuffle.  I hopped in the shower, the warm water running down my back and soothing my aching muscles. The first song that played was "Waving Through A Window" from "Dear Evan Hansen" (link to music: https://youtu.be/eC3kc0AIqgw)
I waited for the singing to begin, and yelled out the lyrics as they played from my phone.
I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (oh)

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

The song ended as I finished my shower. I stopped the water from pouring on my head, and wrapped a white towel around my waist. My hand was on the doorknob, ready to leave, when I looked in the mirror. My hair was a darker shade now, and it was sticking almost straight up. I hated what I had become.

~Mini Timeskip~

I pulled my black Mercedes-Benz into the unfamiliar parking lot. Boss told me to meet him here, and I was late. I sprinted out of the car, running to the small building on the other side of the lot. When I reached the rusted metal door, I swung it open, and sprinted through a maze of hallways to the 'conference room'. When I finally reached the room, I slowly came to a stop, and tried to walk confidently into the room. I was greeted with a sharp knife resting against my throat. "Why are you late?" The boss snarled. I swallowed and mumbled, "I-I was getting c-coffee..." The boss looked down at the 6 Starbucks that I held in my hand. He grunted and snatched a coffee, walking to the table in the center of the room. A chalkboard stained from white chalk sat on the opposite end of the room, and 7 chairs sat around a table that wobbled when someone out pressure on it. I threw my body into a random chair, and nearly fell backwards. I regained my sense of balance as 2 other people poured into the room. Everyone sat in a random chair while the boys droned on about some job. "Ok. Garrett, you're  taking the job." I pulled my head up to look at the boss and said, "Fine. Let me guess.. date some random guy on the street then kill him just like every other job.." I spinned a nickel on the table as the boss said, "Precisely. But, the victim is a man whose name is Alex. Here." He handed me a photo of a slim man with a mustache and dark brown hair. He had blue eyes, and he wore a gray shirt with a tan leather jacket and black skinny jeans. "This guy's cute... (😏)" I thought to myself. The boss said one more thing before he dismissed us. "Thats our victim."
