Short Horror Story ; "HEAVY SHOULDERS"

Part 1:where it begins

Heavy Shoulders
"Please, i beg you help me to get that sofa up to second floor, I'm willing to pay you extra",
cried Beck.
"No ma'am, that's not the part of our service", replied the delivery man.
'Ughh, never thought shifting into new apartment would be this hard' sigh Beck.
Beck was never the girl whom was all this sweaty and messy, she was more of a classy
diva whom party all day with her father's credit card but since she fought against her father's
wish to get married to his business partner's son.
"Hey there, need help?" Beck heard a voice from the back. She turned around and that's
when she first met Ray. Ray Jones, a tall handsome guy with red curly hair dangling on his
forehead which almost reach his blue eyes. "I'm Beck. Beck Cooper, i just shifted to LA from
Miami", Beck breaks the silence while handing a glass of orange juice to Ray and Bop, his
workmate.
That's where their journey started and it continues to bloom as smooth and beautiful as the
flower blooms. Almost everyday Beck would meet Ray at the bookstore he works, yes Ray is
the one in million guy who is into books. Since, Beck is a struggling writer, where her first
book published by her father was hard time for her, Ray's knowledge about books made her
fangirl him more. Not to mention, for a ordinary looking average guy like Ray, knowing
someone like Beck is into him is like getting a most diamond which is only visible for him.
Days passed, months went in just a blink of eye like how the rainbow vanishes after the rain
and sunny day. It was beautiful yet tough for Beck, as for Ray it was ordinary but exciting
because everyday he discovers something beautiful about Beck and not to mention the
bookstore is making a good profit too.
It was just another ordinary day,the sun was shining brilliantly, the birds were chirping
merrily, everybody was in a jovial mood especially Beck. Yes, she got a first publisher for
her next story she working on, but she still have to come up with a new plot in order to
convice the head publisher.
She decided to meet Ray first since he is the only one loves her more than she loves herself.
He was there for here since the first day she moved to LA, from helping to get the sofa into
her house to being a moral and emotional support every single second she needed.
He hugged Beck and congratulate her, then Bop popped in front them telling that the
customer needs some advice on their picks. Ray let through his hand down into Beck's
blonde hair which was silky smooth and told her he will be right back.
While waiting Beck wanted to find some good book that could inspire her on the plot. While
walking down the aisle of book, Beck could smell the aroma of some old torn differently
made books. Then, this odd covered book came to her notice, she was urged to pick'em and
she felt an goosebumps.
