Family secrets

Chapter 11: routine.

It had been several months following victors visit, and the beginning of our romantic relationship. During that time Kaiden had returned and my everyday routine had resumed.

I arrived at school using public transport or simply walking, attended my classes in isolation from all my pears, including Keith who has returned to speaking to his friends and ignoring my presence, as we had agreed he would. I waited for Kaiden to summon me and made haste to his side, no matter where that may be. Received my work for the day and with the final bell, I was released to repeat it all the following day.

However, rather than returning home to begin my task, I but change my attire previous to paying Victor a visit. I would meet him at his place of work, which brought on the newest addition to my daily happenings. Assisting with the reapers, such as fetching whatever tool is asked of me and participating in the activities that demanded little to no experience or knowledge. It is tiring work, I've yet to leave without a stain or two to prove it, and I must admit that the relentless teasing of Victor's co-workers and Madame Glasson Diandra's motherly manner, has rendered my cheeks pink on several occasions. However the general atmospheres warm and welcoming, and though we're different do not feel as such.

I had been assisting Chuck, a muscular man with facial hair, a buzz cut and light skin that had been tanned and hardened by his profession, With the repeat of a rather small automobile, far to small for him to enter comfortable. I was to simply turn the key in the ignition when asked, and that had been precisely what I had been in the processes of doing when I heard my name being called.

" Will let's go!"Victor shouted over the loud machinery.

" just a moment!" I replied, unsure if my voice was loud enough for him to hear. I was about to alert Chuck of my departure when he spoke.

" go on ahead, I got this covered," from through the passenger sites window, slightly startling me.

"R...right! Well, see you around." I said, finally becoming comfortable ' speaking normally like' as the other workers call it. With my hand on the handle to open the door, but before I could step out, Chuck called for me.

" hey willie, don't make Vic wait too long aight. The guy's more backed up then 5 pm traffic." he ground, the same way he would when teasing me and Victor's relationship. However, I was at a lost with what he meant by this. 

"B...backed up?" I repeated, but he did not provide any clarification.

" best hurry to your boyfriend before he starts freaking. And thanks for the help today." the last part of his sentence was low had nearly inaudible through the sounds of working machinery. However, because of this very reason I knew it had been something kind and sincere,  he only took on a shy and quiet attire, compared to his usual tone, when it came to what he would refer to as ' soppy crap'.

" you're welcome," I  smile and a wave my farewells to him as well as other, including Madame Glasson, who I visited in her office on my way out. Victor had been awaiting my arrival in my car, son enough we were on the road to his place of residence, where a decent amount of my routine would take place. 

  upon arriving we'd have dinner delivered and watch a film on Victor's portable computer. It was one of the more amusing parts of my day, much of anything to do with the 20-year-old had been deemed as such. Despite this, as I sat on one of the many stools that stood around the island, I could not concentrate on the later inquiries. The mystery of Chuck's words running through every possible meaning in my mind.

" Will?" he called and I heard him, yet I somehow managed to convince myself that it had not been myself he was referring to but to some unknown phantom. "Will!" his voice pulled me from my thoughts and back to the present, where he stood inched before me. " you ok?"
