She’s here again. She must have moved into town, she’s been buying groceries here for a month now. Also at the same time too, at 5 o’clock every Friday. Sometimes she chooses my line and other times she doesn’t, but that’s ok, she greets me with a smile regardless. Sometimes I’m getting off my shift so I can help her take her bags to her car. We don’t talk, but that’s ok.

He keeps helping me to my car, but he won’t talk to me. I am wayyyy too awkward to start conversations, so I guess we’ll just stay silent. Unfortunately. He’s really cute and seems nice, even though we’ve never spoken. I’ve been coming at the same time every week just so I can see him and be greeted by his special smile.

I finally did it. I asked her out today. Kinda. I guess. She’s going to wait till my shifts ends and we’re going to walk around the store and get some drinks and popcorn chicken. She didn’t feel comfortable going anywhere, but that’s ok with me, at least I talked to her.

We actually had a very good time walking around the store. He ended up being a great conversationalist. I think that I’ll actually let him take me to a coffee shop next time. I actually really like him.

She had just walked through the door towards me, when a man in black ran in behind her and grabbed her. He held a gun towards her head and threatened to shoot if anyone moved. I was terrified.

I could barely breathe, I was numb as I watched the cashiers bring the money to my captor. I locked eyes with my boyfriend, and saw myself through his eyes. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes, heck, I don’t want to be in my shoes.

After we gave the robber the money and he ran out, I dashed towards her and caught her in my arms. I could never let her be in danger like that again.
