A moment of no return

Chapter 2

The front door flew open and Phoebe ran in super fast and very excited just like a child.

I know when shes like this it only meant one thing.

She heard of a forest party in the middle of the woods at the weekend and demand me to go then ran out of the shop while staring down the older customer that was walking up to the front desk with many books in his hands while she was staring at him I got a sense that she know him.

Just as she walk out the door she turned around and looked at me, she seemed scared but nothing really scares her.

The younger one appeared from one of the aisle and stood in the middle of the shop, looking at Phoebe, she stared at him for a second and then shut the door and ran down the street. 

The younger one ran up the the older guy and was about to say something but the older guy just looked at him. Which made him stop.  

The older guy looked at me and said he want to order a book so as procedure I gave him a sheet to fill out and looked through it and said "ill call you when the books are in the shops, it"ll take a couple of day"

He thanked me and walked off.

The other guy smiled at me and was dragged off by the older guy.

He closed the door and the room got so quiet.

I saw the young one look at me through the window and then just disappear.

I text phoebe about those guys but she never replied.

The rest of the day went fast. But I couldn't get those guys of my mind, who were they and why did Phoebe react like that.

I had a few customer that stood in front of me and talked for what seemed for hours.

Then Mrs Rose started to walk down the stairs and I know it was nearly 5pm and I was finished for the day.

She called me over to her and said " have you finished your jobs that I gave you this morning"

I nodded and then she said " closed up and leave them"

I put away of some of the book that were left on the table and tidied up some of the shelf's and swept the floor and then grabbed my bag and left.

Lock the door and didn't look back and walked to go get dinner.

There was a takeaway place that Phoebe and I always go to.

And like normal she was outside with a bag of chips one for her and one for me.

She handed me mine and we started to walk down the road and she kept going on about this party so when I said ill go she was so excited, and nearly dropped her bag of chip with excitement.

And then we ran down to the shops and we got outfits for the night.

Hours later

After hours of trying on dresses and seeing Phoebe in millions of other dresses I finally was back home and just landed on my couch.

I ended up turning on the tv and watching some random movie and falling asleep.

I heard some car horn beep which woke me up.

The tv was on some old cartoon.

The room was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing

I reach out my hand and grabbed my phone.

It was 2.36 am.

I got up and tried to find the remote to turn of the tv and ended up dropping it and the battery's fell out and rolled under the couch.
I was too tired and lazy at this point to try find then so I just pulled the plug out on the wall and the tv turned off.

I walked to bed fell on top of it and my back hurt from falling asleep on the couch.

It was a old cheap one that I got as a present from my father, and we both knew that it was the worst couch he could find, I knew if he gave me bad furniture for my apartment that ill want to come back home but I wont give up that easy.

I looked at my phone again and plugged it in to charge.

I crawled into bed and pulled the cover over me.
My back ached when I pulled the cover over me that's couch was horrible.

And then closed my eyes.

The alarm went off and I was tired.

I opened my eyes and just wanted to go back to sleep.
I had a pounding headache and I had no energy to get up.
But I needed to go to work.

I got up and walked to the kitchen and put the kettle on.

I had one slice of bread left so I really needed to go shopping.

I jumped in the shower and then got ready for work.
The same boring routine I've had for the last year.

I walked down the road and just watched the other people rush around on there phones and try get to work.
Wonder what there life's are like.
Do they have big house's and fancy cars and nice family's.
Do they hate morning like I do.

I got to the library and Mrs Rose was down stairs and at the counter, this wasn't normal.

I took a breath and walked in.

Mrs Rose: "I'm selling the place, here's your paycheck good bye"

I was in shock, I needed this job.

I was pushed out by some worker who was taring down the walls.

I walked down the road and rang Phoebe.
My legs were shaking and I felt like I couldn't breath.
And phoebe wasn't answering me.
I felt my heart beating hard in my chest making me nauseous I just wanted to sit down.

Other people were just walking past me, not even noticing me, others were giving me weird looks.

I kept ringing phoebe but it kept going straight to voice mail.

I walked back home and I tried one last time them I heard a moan answered.

I told her everything and she said shes coming.

I just sat down on the couch and sat in silences.

Then heard a knock on the door, it was phoebe she was still half asleep still in her pajamas, and we spent hours talking.
