The Gravestone

Shh...

     She smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed. "I kind of figured you would have found a way around the rules you always have." Ai says with a smile on her face. "Yuzu..." Mei said walking up to her. "Oh, Mei did you make him leave?" Yuzu asked, and Mei walked up and hugged her. "Yes, he was very annoying, did you get there, order or sit them down yet?" Mei asked. "Hey Mei, it's been a long time am I right?" I said to get her attention. "Hashioki, and it has been..." Mei surprisingly says turning to look at me. I smile, and Ai is so confused she looks at me and then Mei and Yuzu. I look out to the street and see a person standing there staring at me, I jump into Ai's arms and she looks at me in confusion. "What's wrong?" Yuzu says looking at me. I look out the window gripping Ai's shoulder, the person is still there staring at me. "Ai look out the window tell me if you see that person staring at me like they would love to kill me." I say to Ai hiding my face in the converse of her shoulder. She looks from me to the window and shakes her head, Yuzu and Mei looked out the window and shuck their heads to. "Hashioki are you ok? You don't normally act this way when you're at work." Yuzu said gripping Mei's hand with a trite squeeze. I look up at the window and now there's a group of people staring at me and one looks like my dad...

        "DAD?!?!" tears are running down my face and I turn my head to see the other costumers behind us eating their food, I lay my head on Ai shoulders and black out the last thing I hear is Yuzu, Mei, and Ai talking. "Wait her dad is outside?" Mei says turning to the window and looking to see if she can see my dad. "Mei... Her dad is died... His been died ever since she was 3 years old... I don't know what she's seeing but it started when we walked into the graveyard to see her dad..." Ai says looking worried at Mei. "Yuzu, Mei, what's going on here? Why aren't you two to the next costumer's yea?" The boss says while walking out of his office. "Boss..." Mei and Yuzu look from me and Ai to the boss. "What is it?" The boss says walking closer to us. He stops two inches away from us. "W-who's that?" he points to me crawled up in a doll form in Ai's arms. Ai looks down at me still worried and Yuzu walked up to her and put her arms up like she's protecting us. "It's Hashioki and Ai, Hashioki blacked out and we all are worried about her..." Mei says walking to one side of Ai. "Oh? What happened?" the boss said kind of condoned "She's fine just seeing things is all, I'm worried about her more then she knows..." Ai says squeezing me as tight as she could.

      The boss looks at Ai with confusion on his face. "and you must be Ai, right? Because I know Hashioki because she works here?" "Oh, I'm Hashioki's roommate and girlfriend, we went to see her dad's grave and she said that she saw an old house in front of the fence." Ai replies. "Oh, follow me into my office I have a couch that she can rest on until she wakes up." The boss says turning back to his office. He starts to walk to his office Ai, myself, Yuzu, and Mei follow him without any hesitations. When we get in there Ai puts me on the couch and sits in the floor beside me holding my hand. "Yuzu, Mei please go and sit the next costumers please and make sure there fine before you guys come back, got it?" The boss says taking a sit in he's chairs. Yuzu and Mei nod and walk back outside the office. "so, how long has you and Hashioki been dating for?" the boss spins his chair around to look at Ai and myself. "Well we started dating three years before she came here to work, and it's now been 4 years seen she started working here." Ai says still looking at me. Three hours go by and I slowly wake up. "Mm..." I groan slowly looking around me. I see Ai holding my hand past out on the ground and the boss sleeping in he's chairs. I slowly sit up wiggling my hand out of Ai's grip. So that I can get up and pick her up and carry her home. I pick her up and walk to the door, I slowly open it, so it doesn't wake up the boss. Slipping out I see Yuzu and Mei heads down on one table sleeping side by side.
