In The End

Chapter Two

Two-

I woke up around three, and even though it was cloudy outside, no sunlight at all, the semi-brightness in my room made my eyes strain.

"Eh!" I whined, throwing, a pillow over my face.

After a moment I moved it away and crawled lazily out of bed. I got up and walked to the bathroom, took a shower, dried my hair and walked back into my room and got dressed. I pulled on a Black Veil Brides shirt I had draped on the chair at the end of my bed and found a pair of black ripped up skinny jeans that I pulled on with a black and silver studded belt and my converse, then went back into the bathroom to fix my hair. I straightened it and my bangs. My hair was dyed black and had subtle red streaks in the bangs. I did some light eyeliner and then walked down to the kitchen, and ate something while sitting on the counter with my mom in the kitchen.

"Having fun?" she asked me, chuckling and poking me in the leg. I laughed.

"Yes mother," I joked. She shook her head, and then pulled something out of the fridge. I hopped off the counter.

"You leaving?" my dad asked from the living room. I nodded, giving him and my mom a quick kiss on the forehead.

"Yeah, work today. Love you, bye," I said as I walked out the front door. They both yelled 'I love you' as I closed the door. I got into the car, started it and then drove off.

As soon as I got there, I walked in to Hot Topic, and took my place and the counter.

"Hey!" Stacy, a coworker, said happily when she saw me. I smiled and waved at her.

"Hey," I smiled. She came up and leaned on the counter beside me as I checked out someone's purchases.

"Guess what?" she said. I typed in the computer.

"What?" I asked, ringing up the order. "That'll be $64.50," I told the costumer. They gave me the money in cash then left. I looked at Stacy.

"You're schedule changed for the week, you'll be helping me with stock today. Mainly just going around, making sure everything's OK, putting up new shirts, stuff like that," she explained. I nodded and moved out from behind the counter and walked with her to grab some new band merch to put up.

I was hanging up some Metallica shirts, and was definitely going to get one next time I came. I had my earphones in, blasting my music while I finished with the shirts. Someone tapped my shoulder behind me, and I turned around, pulling out an earbud.

"Hey, can you help me find something?" the guy asked. I stared, awestruck.

He had black hair, cut just a little above his shoulders and his bangs fell over his right eye. He had these awesome blue eyes, and snake bites, black studs. He also had a nose ring like mine, and was also now staring at me, waiting for an answer. I nodded.

"Yeah, what can I help you find?" I asked. He was attractive.

"A Kiss shirt," he said, uncertain. I knew we had some. I had a Kiss shirt, from their DESTROYER album. I nodded again.

"Follow me," I said quietly.

He followed behind me. He was also tall. Like, awesome tall. I led him to the back, to a wall of Kiss merchandise.

"Well, here you go," I said. He looked down at me and smiled. I stopped breathing for a moment.

"Thanks," he said. Then he suddenly reached out for my face. I froze, but he only gently grabbed a lock of hair, letting it fall back. "I like your hair."

"Thanks, I like yours too," I said. He smiled again, and laughed.

"You seem cool. Hey, aren't you in that band that played that show last month? Oh my god, you were awesome," he told me. I smiled and nodded.
