"I'll be back in an hour." Emily waves as she left the shop.

  I smiled as Elliot came beside me and patted my shoulder.

  "You two are so cute."

  I smiled at that and headed for the back room.

  "Hey, Elliot," I called out from the back room, as I walked into the small door to the side.

  Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

  "Is this room available for me to use?" I asked as I gestured around, light blue walls, a bed in the left corner, a small drawer and desk. With a small window above the bed.

  "I think so,"Elliot replies, standing next to me. "Why?"

  I stayed silent for a few moments.

  Opening my mouth to reply my phone rang, interrupting my answer.

  Caller ID: Brother.

  I picked up immediately.

  "When are you coming home?" Joe, my younger brother frantically asked, yelling could be heard in the background, I frowned.

  "Well hello to you too, everything ok? My shift ends in a few minutes."

  "It's getting bad..."Joe mumbled.

  "How bad?..." I asked worriedly, leaning against the wall as Elliot looked at me worriedly.

  The sound of glass breaking was heard and Joe whimpered.

  "Very, Hurry home please.." and he hung up.
