*Pictured Above: Asher*

He looks at me with concern, almost as if he's done something wrong. He lets go of my hand and rushes towards the exit. I try to grab him, but he's gone. He exits the floor, disappearing into the crowed. I reach into my pocket, pulling out the locket that was dropped on the floor at the award center. I have to remember to get this to him when I see him next.

I want his name..

*James's POV*

After the song finishes, I'm left speechless. I snap back to reality, looking to my side and noticing Asher right next to me. I collect myself and make a run for the exit, ignoring Asher as he calls to me from the crowed. I leave the building and begin heading home on my bike, trying to piece everything together that just happened.

Why is that guy so obsessed with me?

Why am I always caught up in these situations?

And who even is that guy?!

I enter my trashy apartment, and bitch jumps up into my arms, licking my face. "I guess you're hungry, huh?" I smirk and poor some food into the dog bowl and head to shower, and then climb into my small bed.

I hope that guy finally leaves me alone now..

I wake up to my BTS alarm going off and yawn exhaustedly. I only got a few hours of sleep last night because my stupid boss wanted me to go to that stupid party. And now I have to go see that stupid boss again! Ugh. I get out of bed and change into decent clothes, packing my work clothes and heading out before stopping at the door noticing Bitch whining and wagging his tail. "The fuck you staring at?" I ask sarcastically. "Fine, I'll take you on a quick walk" I grab the leash and head out with bitch.

Walking around the area, I remember to grab food for bitch at the pet store and begin heading home. I walk past a few restaurants and fast food places and my stomach growls. I guess I'm hungry, I didn't eat last night because everything was too chaotic. It's not like I have money for it anyway, and I think there's some chips at home. I can't spend money out to eat because rent is coming up tomorrow and I barely have enough to pay.

I head home with Bitch and let him off his leash inside. I look in a few empty drawers inside the kitchen and find a bag of chips. My face lights up and I pack them inside my backpack on top of my janitor clothes and begin biking to work. As I'm biking, I pull out my chips from my backpack and open the bag, excited to finally eat something.

I take a bite out of a chip and without realizing it, I swerve to the left sharply, as someone walks into the street and my chips go flying all over the road and I fall flat on my ass. "No no no Fuck!" I scream, upset that my chips went to waste. The older man apologizes and I ignore him, getting back on my bike and heading to work.

"Stupid guy, doesn't he know I'm too broke to let chips go to waste?

After arriving to work, I chain my bike up to the rail and walk inside. Great. Another day of cleaning toilets and sweeping floors. I walk through the waiting room, leading into a great room with a chandelier and stairs inside the building leading up to the next level. I choose to take the elevator and press floor 11. The elevator has a city view on the back, and is made of stainless steel walls. The elevator even has an option to play music while waiting.

After I arrive on floor 11, I begin heading to the bathroom, and change into my Janitor uniform. I lock my things up inside the locker and head towards the elevator once more, choose the highest level. I step out of the elevator and grab the cleaning cart from the janitor closet. Since this is the second highest level, I'll start here and do as much as I can today and work down the levels in the next coming days.
