Chapter 6 The Nothingness That Surrounds His Heartless Heart
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING-CLICK.
He removed his hand from the alarm and groaned. Another day without her.
He arose from his slumber, and clouded his face with his hand, nudging at his forehead from the monstrous headache he received yesterday, He planted his feet to the ground and walked towards the bathroom, and as he clapped the lights on, he saw in the mirror a cold, heartless person who regretted what he's done. He groaned once more as he heard the phone ring. He slowly walked to the living room, and slowly picked up the phone, and responded in a groggy voice, "Hello?"
"Shadow? You sound asleep--did I wake you up?"
"I just woke myself up."
"Oh...well, the boss needs you today."
"What!? Why?"
"We have a busy day today! Now get your butt up and get to work!"
"Alright Shail...I'll be there in 20 minutes."
"Alright, bye!"
Shadow placed the phone back and forked his fingers through his hair, and headed back to his room.
He arrived to work and was greeted by a harsh groan of relief. "There you are," greeted by the blue fox girl who wore her Starbucks uniform, besides the usual white tang top and green shorts. Shadow approached the back of the counter and strapped on his apron, "Hey Shail."
Shail tilted her head to view Shadow's face, but to no success. "What's up with you?" she asked as she cracked her fingers from typing on the cashier to much. Shadow shook his head. "Nothing really." Shail puffed out her cheeks.
"Shadow, tell me: what's the matter?"
"I told you, nothing."
"If it was nothing you wouldn't be telling me it was nothing."
"What?"
"Never mind! Just tell me Shadow! What's up with you! You haven't been yourself for the last two days! Is something going on?"
"Shadow!"
"It's just...I..." Shadow stopped.
"...You know what? It doesn't really matter. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to--"
"Shail--"
"I mean, really...its none of my business!"
"Shail--"
"Lets get back to work until--"
"SHAIL!"
Shail stopped and looked up to Shadow. "What?"
Shadow gulped and turned her back on her, "I...really need a shoulder to cry on right now..." Shail blushed.
"BUT--" Shadow turned to face her. "DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY OKAY! I'M JUST HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME RIGHT NOW, IS ALL!"
"Why are you shouting?"
"I'M NOT SHOUTING! THIS IS HOW I'M ALWAYS SPEAKING!"
"Shadow! You're scaring the customers!"
Shadow placed himself on a near-by chair and sighed. Shail put someone else on register, and after she did, she sat herself next to Shadow. "Shadow..."
As Shadow explained how he broke up with Amy, and the fact that she caused her so much, and that he regretted of what he's done, Shail listened to all his words, and after he finished, it was already closing time. Shail stared at Shadow for a moment, and then clapped her hands together, "Shadow, if you really wanted Amy, then you can get back together with her again!"
"I can't just go back to her!" he said. Shail stared in confusion.
"I'm thinking...she's moved on with life."
"Well, you're going to have to ask her back either way! You can't just...ASSUME that she moved on! You have to talk to her!"
"But what if she doesn't want to see me?"
"Well, I guess that's where I come in, huh?"
"HUH?"
Shail smirked mischievously. "I'll follow you! And if things don't go the way you want it! I'll talk to her!"
"No! I have to do this myself!"
"But won't you be scare by yourself? I mean, you ARE asking her back..."
"Yeah. I thought so. Now come on! Lets go home! I'm starving!"
"What? You're eating at my place AGAIN?"
"Hello? I live alone!"
"Ugh...Fine, let's go."
