Fighting For you| H20Vanoss

Chapter 6: A Horror Show

After the incident with his Mom a week before, Delirious got up and applied to a store in the mall and got the job! He was concerned about his mask but the managers confirmed that he could just work in storage which paid pretty well and he was okay with it. Of course, the store was Spencer's.

Vanoss, on the other hand, decided to work from home because he was really good with computers and internet softwares.

Delirious woke up on the couch of Wildcat's place, they were still working on his room. If he didn't want to sleep on the couch, Delirious would couch hop around his friend's houses. They were okay with it because they all knew his situation. He started work today and he was excited, he got dressed and stopped by Vanoss' house to give him a kiss before leaving.

He drove to the mall and people stared at he drove up with his big jeep, he went in at 10 and the mall opened at 9:30 so there were people in the parking lot. They all seemed to step back when they saw his mask, he was silently insecure under it and just kept his head down as he went into the Spencer's.

Delirious nodded to the guy who trained him, Jack, who was sitting at the cash register; he nodded back to the masked boy and Delirious entered the back. Jack came in a few minutes later, "some chick needs a black choker with a jewel on it. Could you find it?" He asked, Delirious nodded and searched around the boxes labeled "jewlery" until he found the one that Jack confirmed to be it.

Jack would pop in occasionally and around 1:30 he asked Delirious if he wanted anything from the food court, he got him some lo mein and orange chicken from an Asian place that was good as hell.

After that, Jack only popped in on break and the two talked for a while. "So, your Mom kicked you out of the house for being gay at 18? What a bitch." Delirious winced.

"I call her Teresa, I can't blame her though. I'm her only son and she saved me from potential death from my father." He took another bite of his noodles, he hadn't finished his lunch yet.

"Ah, I see. Well, my parents kicked me out at 15 for being trans." That threw Delirious off.

"You're trans?"

"Yeah, I'm glad my grandparents took me in. They paid for my testosterone until I got a job and then they helped me pay for top surgery. Now look at me, 23 and happier than I've ever been." He and Delirious quickly became close friends.

Delirious left at 4 because the person who took the 5:30-12:30 shift came in early, she was pretty but not for Delirious, obviously. He could hear her whispers to Jack and he walked past her, he could hear all the whispers and fell all the stares of the people around him when he walked by.

When he was walking out to his car, he got a phone call. It was...Racc?

"Hey, what's up?" He climbed into the truck.

"Hey, Swagger is holding a party tomorrow night and him and I need help getting stuff at the store. Wanna join us? I could use my truck but it has a flat."

"Oh, yeah, sure, we can use my truck. When?"

"What time is best for you?"

"Now until the time the store closes."

"Okay, wanna come now? You'll can pick up Swagger first, then me. Okay?"

"Yeah, text Swagger and let him know that I'm on my way, okay?"

"Sure thing, see ya."

"Bye, Racc."

Delirious put his phone down and pulled out of the parking lot, men and little kids stared at the jeep as it drove by. He pulled out of the mall parking lot and took the short cut to Swagger's apartment complex in which he learned from going places with Racc.
