𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐓 [ᴄ.sᴛʀɴʟ] ON GOING

𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑

We arrived to the Walmart, but we're staying in the car, messing around a bit. The guys said that they're going to make a video for their YouTube channel, a Q&A video. Nick take out his camera.

"So we are filming with this" he shows me the camera "Matt, place the camera please" he gives the camera to Matt that place the camera so we are all in frame. He clicks on some buttons.

"Hi YouTube ! So today's video gonna b-" starts Matt

"Wait ! Ivy, are you okay about being in the video ?" ask Nick interrupting Matt

"Yeah, i guess...Yes ! Why not ?" i stutter awkwardly "But anyways i think i have to go to work now, it's almost 5 pm..."

"It's ok, you can go..." reassures me Chris

"Alright have fun then" i open the door "enjoy your video, guys ! Be entertaining and cool even if you guys already are. By the way, i finish at 8 pm and if you guys finish the video, come inside the store i'll be at the cash register. See ya"

"Bye !" they all say in the same voice

***

I'm behind my cash register when the triplets enter in the shop. They come to me.

"So how was the video ?" i ask

"Pretty cool, you will love it !" answers Matt showing off

"So you guys are staying in the van or you will stay in the shop with me ?" i ask

"Not at all, we need snacks and we will probably stay in shop, that's a good idea" says Nick

"Alright, since you guys don't break anything you can do whatever you want !" a customer arrives "Go get the snacks, there is a customer !" i say shaking my hands to disperse them

They all go except Chris, he just stand there looking at me. After the customer leaves, Chris finally get to talk:

"Ivy..." he smiles at me like a kid

"What ?" i say smiling back for no reason

"Can i use the cash register ? Please !" he joins his hands and i sigh

"Yes, of course. Come here" he comes behind the cash register and stand next to me, so close that our arms touch each other "So this is for the articles, it bips when the barcode is detected, you pass the article there" i point the area "you tell the price then you click this button to open the cash register, if you sucks at maths, just look at the screen to know how much is the change. Is that ok for you ?" he nods

"Yeah...i guess. Easy peasy lemon squeezy !"

"Ok, do you want something ? I'll get it for you so could test it" i ask jumping to the other side of the cash register area

"Yes, can you get me a Pepsi and chips..."

"Ok, i'll get that for you, sir" i leave "Don't scare the customers please !"

I'll walk through the aisles and join Matt and Nick at the snack aisle. I get 2 Pepsi cans and potato chips. When i go back to the cash register and i almost drop my articles when i see a blonde girl flirting with Chris. I perfectly know that blonde girl...I rush to the cash register and loudly put the articles in sort of cutting their discussion.

"Cindy...What are you doing here ?" i say going back next to Chris

"Shopping...that's what the Walmart for..." she glares at me

"Anyways, how you doin ?" i ask while Chris is passing Cindy's articles. He stay silent and that's better like that

"Well, i'm good...Are you ? You look really bad...did you take your medication ?" she says falsely concerned about my health issues

"No...I-i didn't...thanks...thanks for reminding me" i can feel tears filling my eyes. She perfectly knows that I hate when people talk about (especially her) or makes really bad joke about my medication, it hurts me "Ok Chris, i'm gonna let you handle this...I'll be back !"

I rush to changing room and literally cry. I'm fucking mad at her and upset because she clearly knows me and my issues and she literally pointing it in front of new people literally every single time. It piss me the fuck off. I get to my locker and take my bottle of pills. I put one in my hand and grab my bottle of water. I put the pill in my mouth, drink a huge sip of water and i swallow it. I sit on the floor and take deep breathes in order to calm down. Suddenly, i hear a knocking on the door. Chris face appears in the frame of the door.

"Are you okay ?" he request really concerned "The girl left..."

"I'm good...i'm good" i say wiping my tears with the palm of my hand

Chris comes close to me. I look up to him and he looks down to me. He softly smiles at me and i smile back. This is actually relaxing and helping me.

"Come here !" he says opening his arms

He grabs my waist with both hands and lift me up. His touch makes my stomach fuzzy...By reflex, i put my hands on his shoulders and stand up. Chris gets his hands off of my waist and do the same with his shoulders. I wipe my face a second time to make sure there is no tear left on it. Chris looks at me. He is really caring about me unlike half of the people i know.

"You good ?" he asks a second time "If you're not we can get you back home"

"Yeah, i wanna go outside...I'm tired of working. Tell the guys to wait for me in the van, i'll talk to my colleague to see if he can replace me" he nods and leaves without asking questions

I get out of the changing room and walk to my colleague register.

"Hey Tom, can you please replace me today, i don't feel very well"

"It's ok, i got it" he says with a smile

"Thanks so much, Tom. You're the best !"

I get out of the shop after i tidied my stuff and closed my register. I walk to the van and sit on my usual seat, the one next to Nick. The second after i shut the door, all the looks are on me. I sit like a kid after she did something bad.

TO BE CONTINUED...
