Enjoyed reading the Reviews! Like always. Very entertaining and made me smile! :D This however. Does not make me smile. I shall be gone for two weeks. :''''''''( No Wifi again! I think I might go insane. Two weeks with no internet... Dammit.
It had been at least a week since the horror movie mayhem night, and I still was having nightmares. Always the same one! I'd be running down a never ending hallway, being chased by the ridiculous bald elf thing. Then suddenly Marry pops out of nowhere, wearing her 'armour' saying she'll protect me! Nope! Gets mauled by the bald elf, but she turns out to be a cardboard cut out! And then the bald elf gets his head chopped off suddenly, and then I'm wearing a hospital gown, muttering useless shit...
I'm so tired of that dream. I can't even tell Ib about it, cause I know she'd laugh, and say everything is fine. She is probably annoyed with me waking up every night, and going to the kitchen. A couple of times she'd come out there with me and we'd sit drinking tea, chatting away the early morning. I think she knows that this nightmare has been waking me up, but she doesn't say anything about it. Which works for me! I did, however tell her a little bit about it, but left out the part about Marry being a cardboard cut out. She understood and told me not to worry about waking her up. Which is complete bullshit. I can tell that it's affecting her.
One morning I asked if she could bring the sugar over when she was going to sit down. She snapped on me.
"You got two legs and a heartbeat!" She seethed. "I'm sure your legs aren't tired out! Hell! You just woke up from a nap! So I don't see why you can't get up off your ass and grab the jar of sugar!" I haven't asked for anything since. She apologized later for how she reacted, but I'm still not going to ask for anything for a while.
On the upside though, I moved back in with Ib. Her parents left, saying they were going traveling. As for us. Well, Ib's vacation was over, so she went back to the Academy. While I started to work with Nina. She managed to convince her grandmother into giving me a position at her jewelry store. I hope she is happy to have me working there, even though it is temporary. At first the pay was little, but considering hardly anybody went there, but it picked up as I picked up more shifts. Chiko seemed happy, and Nina wasn't surprised. Most of the customers that showed up were women, I found it a little strange, but didn't dwell on it.
"Garry! Can you take this box, and put it in the back?" Chiko asked.
"Of course," I answered, taking it from her. Some of the girls at the counter giggled, looking over at me. I flashed them a smile before taking off to the back. This was nice. Not having to make phone calls every minute. Or being yelled at for a slight mistake. It was a change that I loved. I set the box on the shelf, taking a moment to take in my life at the moment. I pulled the tiny red box, that had permanently taken up residence in my pocket out. I popped it open, staring at the little ring in the inside. After Chiko heard that I almost lost the ring, she smacked me up side the head, and gave me this box to put it in. I sighed, putting the box back into my pocket.
I've been contemplating bringing it out and asking her, but there has never been a good time. Or maybe I'm just being a coward. I don't know. I just don't want to flub it up, and have her laugh at me. There's another possibility. She might reject me! God. These thoughts give me a headache. My pocket started to vibrate, jerking me out of my thoughts. I almost dropped it when I pulled it out. Unknown number. That's weird. I flipped it open anyways.
"Hello?" I spoke.
"Hey man! Long time no see! How's your trip been?" I recognized that voice. "Garry? Hello?"
"Has been a while, Valen."
Who is this person!? And how does Garry know him!? Will be answered in the next chapter! Just like you guys requested! I'm dragging this out as much as I can, and don't worry. It's not gonna stray from the original plot thing. Will be back in two weeks! Until then! Stay awesome! Love ya guys! Peace out!
