Arcane [H.S AU]

THREE

Everything is fucked.

I don't think shit could get any worse, the delivery for the shop is fucked. I am exhausted from doing the finances all night.

I can't get ahold of Z or Louis for love nor money, I am going insane. I can't open the shop today due to a book shortage.

This has never happened before, we got a delivery of magazines instead of the books that I ordered. I've spent the majority of the morning on hold.

I hear the door open as I suspect it's Eden, shit there's no point of her even being here.Everything was running smoothly two weeks ago.

It seems as if everything after my birthday has been royally fucked. Eden approaches me but I show her that I am on the phone.

Finally someone answers, "FINALLY!" I shout over the phone.

"No I will not lower my tone, I've been on hold for an hour. Where is my delivery?" I am trying my absolute hardest not to lose my shit. 

"No, I can't wait 6 days until he can bring me the right delivery"

"This is how I pay my fucking bills" I don't care anymore.

"Well big fucking help aren't you, whatever." I have to hang up before I rip her head off.

"What's going on boss." I cannot be dealing with anyone today.

"Wrong fucking delivery , we can't open at all for the day as we have nothing we've advertised, so its just fucking great." I'm snappy, I don't mean to take it out on her.

She doesn't say anything, my guess is she hasn't seen me like this ever, so it's a shock. I'm over today already and it's only 10am.

I can hear the coffee machine turn in, oh god I could use a coffee right now. I need to start thinking clearly.

I send Zayn another text, where the fuck is he.

"Have this, take a breather and explain to me what exactly happened." She is helping me keep a level head.

As I go on to explain everything that's fucked me off today, from the books to the delivery. I am drained right now.

I know that things can go wrong and I should've expected this or been prepared for this. I need Z, he's meant to be my business partner and he has gone awol.

Sat here drinking my coffee, Eden had to take a phone call. I mean I have no fucking clue what to do.

Deciding to say fuck it and give up for the day, I can't do anything when I'm like this.

"So have we calmed down?" I know she truly means well.

"Yeah, sorry for snapping at you. I'm just stressed so I'm giving up for the day." I'm just going to keep the place closed for today and figure out the rest later on.
