I have been working at the coffee shop for over a month now, and at the flower shop for just barely a month. I have gotten to know more about flowers and about the several types that we have in the world. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are amazing people, I watch them together and cannot wait to have that one day. I hope I have that one day.
Now that I feel comfortable in this place that I stumbled on, I am starting to worry that I have spent too much time here. I want to leave, but at the same time, I just want to stay, see where things go and not put anyone else that I have met in danger. What if something happens and he comes for them? I can feel my anxiety start to get the best of me. I walk towards the flowers at the front to water them as it is getting closer to closing time.
"You can go home dear; we will close up tonight." says Mrs. Wilson with a smile. I turn around and nod my head. I give her a quick hug and get my stuff from the back. I notice that I do not feel good, and I can tell my body is a little more tired. I shake off that feeling and start heading out.
As I am walking home, I see Angelica is serving the last coffee of the night, I decide to stop by and say hi. The night air is cool, but not cold. I take a deep breath of fresh air and wave at her from the door. She holds a one moment finger and I nod my head.
I look around and wait for her to get off the shift and close the shop. Once it is closed, we decide to walk home since we will be close to each other.
"You look pale, are you ok?" She asks, with a look of concern on her face. I nod my head and we keep walking.
"I think I am just tired today. The flower shop is my favorite job yet. I want to own a garden with tons of flowers and lots of outdoor space." I look over at her and smile. She nods her head in agreement. We talk more about our day and what we want with our future, we make it home and go our separate ways.
I make a cup of tea since I do not feel hungry and sit down to read more of my book. I want to start college, but I know I cannot yet. My father is still out there somewhere looking for me and I cannot have him find me. I need to stay hidden and keep my head down. I do not know how long I have been here. I shake my head and continue reading, I have been trying to get through the City of Bones series. So good, I started reading more when I was trying to find somewhere to stay.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqxkjpxZ8
