Time to Get Merry Ch 1
Author's Notes Below
Edit 12/23/2018 Wow this chapter had an accessive amount of prepositions, like... wow lol. So I tried to clean the chapter up a bit, though a little shorter now, hopefully, it's not as painful to read now lol.
It was overcast with dark gray clouds suffocating any rays of sunlight. Rain softly patted against the window of Frisk's apartment, the soft tink tink provided her peace as she snacked on low-calorie popcorn.
When thunder sounded off across the sky, she jumped slightly. The episode of the show she was watching was timing out to the credits, and she took this time to look back at her drying canvas. It's bright colors contrasting the storm going on outside.
She pulled her warm tea closer to her to take a sip. She was thankful it was only Friday and she was lucky enough to have the weekend off. She instinctively reached her hand into the bowl and grabbed another handful of popcorn as the next episode began. While she had plans to go out today, the show played on with her eyes glued to the screen.
The wood in the fireplace crackled softly, startling her from her thoughts. She lazily rose from the love seat to give the fire a few pokes, attempting to burn the wood inside a little bit longer.
She looked up when she heard her phone go off on the table. She placed the tool back in its designated spot before heading to the kitchen to get another snack. She grumbled in slight annoyance when the notification sounded off a few more times. With can opener in hand, she waltzed over to answer the phone.
The text read, Frisk! Help! In all caps. Her fingers fumbled with her passcode. "Why would she text me if something was wrong" She spoke to herself, the worry spreading through her body as she hit call over her friend's name.
"Hello?! Frisk is that you?"
"I called you..." Frisk clarified.
"... so ..."
"..." Frisk was quiet for a moment. "Yes, it's Frisk..." Frisk laughed for a moment. "So, Is everything okay?"
"No! Everything is not okay..." Her friend paused, "I just realized what day it is and I don't like you being alone. Are you okay..?"
"Huh? Oh my word, Clare ... you're being silly. Yes, I'm okay" She replied as she poped her cell phone into the crook of her neck and ventured to the window.
Frisk hesitated for a moment as she walked up to the glass, as if the mountain was going to magically show up. She shook her head, realizing how silly she was being. I mean, that's why I got this apartment. Well, one of the reasons.
She would be lying if she said it wasn't the main reason she had turned down the other places. Why did all the major apartment complexes have to face one way? It made no sense.
What was the big deal today? It was the 5th anniversary which wasn't that big of a deal ... Right? She pursed her lips, And to think it's been 3 years and I almost forgot that the anniversary was today-
"Frisk!" Clare's voice broke the silence. Looking down, Frisk realized she had a vise grip on the can opener in her hand. "Frisk, you there?"
"Uhm... W-where did you say we were meeting for coffee?" Frisk suddenly asked, realizing a few tears had slipped out by accident.
"I didn't but we are now, Slopees coffee on Canter in 10 minutes. Don't be late, okay?" Clare asked with a mild tease.
"Sounds good," Frisk said not catching her banter and quickly hung up. She put the utensil away, realizing her appetite had vanished. She went to splash water on her face as she changed out of her sweatpants and pulled her hair up in a lazy bun before grabbing her car keys to leave.
They say time heals all wounds... guess time and I are still working on our arrangement.
