Part five- Misery Loves Company

Y/n's POV:

After last night, I was very happy, and my thoughts weren't so rough. I felt refreshed and happy for once, and I missed the feeling of being with Chris. Being around him...it was almost as if he radiated positive energy. And having someone like that...it would feel so nice. Having someone like that could help mend the hole in my heart my mother once filled. It would never ever be the same without her, but now, I fully have knowledge that I need to move on. Because simply one reason;

Misery loves company.

I don't want to give Misery that company. I know you can't dwell on things, especially the negative things. Because when you do, it can drive you insane. Now knowing that, I'm going to be able to move on. My father might have the same feeling I have, so I hope now we can both move on. I feel a little relieved that I felt this way. Even though my father and I are still grieving, we are going to be able to go on. Even though it was so recent, we can truck through, and make in through.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw my coworker and best friend of two years, Shelby. I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot I was at work. Time to get back to it. Ugh, but really, lets be honest, who wants to work on a Monday?
"Y/n, a new paper has been forwarded into your desktop files, the boss says he wants it published tomorrow." She spoke, a little rushed.
"Tomorrow?!" I gasped in disbelief. Depending on how big the articles are, it would take me all night.
"Yeah, I've got work of my own to do, so good luck." Shelby spoke while walking backwards in the direction of her desk.
"Thanks anyway. I'm gonna need it." I responded, putting my earbuds in and getting to work on editing that paper. Working as a paper edition for a book company is exhausting work, but I've always enjoyed books. They can take you away to a mystical land. Books can be your hideaway, and safe place. So I sometimes loathe my job, but on the other hand, I really enjoy it. Because everyone else in the company, feels almost the same way I do, or at least has a similar opinion. About books I mean.

Chris' POV:

I was at work, Mondays are always a bit busier than days, other than Friday. But on Mondays, people are rushing to get their coffee before work, so they can at least say they tried to get through the day. I noticed, that Y/n didn't come in this morning, so I decided to text her. We had texted each other a little while after we both got home from the date. We both enjoyed it a ton, but can't wait to see her again. I miss her aura, I miss her face and I miss her voice. Already. But it's okay. I think I'll survive. I texted her,

                         Oi, good morning Y/n! How are you this morning?-Me, 9:27am
Oh hey! Good morning Chris. Really tired.
I woke up late this morning didn't get coffee. -FrappeY/N, 9:31
                                                     Want me to bring you some cold brew?-Me, 9:33
That would be fantastic! How much?-FrappeY/N, 9:34
                        No cost, just to see you is enough. Where do you work?-Me, 9:35
Chris, you can't always pay for everything.-FrappeY/N, 9:35
                                                            Psht, of course I can. Where do you work?-Me, 9:37

Our conversation continued and she told me where she worked, so I whipped up some cold brew and told everyone I was on break and got into my car. I drove there, and waited at the front desk. Hearing the elevator ding and the doors slide open, I turn to see Y/n stepping out with a small grin on her face. Is she happy to see me? Silently thinking to myself, I handed her the large cold brew beverage and smiled back at her.
"It is greatly appreciated, Chris. Thank you." She leaned in to hug me, and I accepted and hugged her.
"Oi no problem! Thanks for letting me come see you. I didn't know you worked for the city book company." I stated, just a tiny bit surprised, but happy I get to see her.
"Yeah, I edit the newspaper. My boss just unloaded a bunch of work on me because of my break." She replied. I was a but confused that she had a break. Did something happen? I nodded my head.
"Oh? Really?" I watched her nod her head and take a sip of the drink. "Do you like it?" I asked excitedly.
"This is fantastic oh my god.." we both chuckled.
"I'm sorry to bring out meet to such a short time, but my break ends in ten minutes. I gotta hear out. Enjoy your paper!" I wished her a good day and gave her one more hug that she returned and she wished me goodbye as well.

Later...

Y/n's POV:

After Chris brought me the coffee, I was energized and ready for the day. I got straight to work on the newspaper. It took me quite a while, and it was about 10:45. Being the second to last one to leave is a little unusual. I never really stay that late at work. The latest I've ever left work was around nine-ish. So I set a new record tonight! Insert a sarcastic woohoo here please! I had finished the drink halfway through my shift and it kept me going up until about now. I was sitting on my couch and my phone started ringing. I looked at the contact. It was my dad. I picked up the phone and had a nice conversation with him about my day and his day, and I told him about my date. He was intrigued yet delighted that I was becoming social again. We ended the call saying goodnight to each other.
By then, it was almost midnight and I had to work tomorrow. So I decided to take a quick shower and get ready for bed. I set an alarm for the morning. I wanted to wake up enough early so I could go back to 3MACHA and see Chris. Because I felt that everything was getting better. So I went to sleep in a good mood;

because I don't want to give misery that company
