One Shots (completed for now)

I was dwelling in my thoughts while sitting on the department store counter, waiting to see what my boss thinks of the outfit i put together. "I love it. But do you think a fedora or a SnapBack?" My partner said and i shrug. "Fedora." I said and i hop off. I look at my outfit. A basic blue button up cardigan that covers the butt, a pair of basic black tights, a pair of doc martins, and a nirvana shirt.

"defiantly fedora." I said and my boss hands us each our check. I smile and think about Alex. "Stop thinking about him." Dotty said and I look at her wildly. "Oh stop. When you think about him your corners of your mouth turn down and your eyes avert to straight ahead. Not noticing anything." Dotty said and I just do it again.

"That was 10 years ago! He left in 2003! Get over it!" She exclaimed and I just looked at her. she doesn't know how it feels to lose someone, everyone. My best friend, my lover, my parents, my brother. All left me.

"I'm so sorry I didn't ..." She trailed off and I just was furious. "You know what, fuck off! Come talk to me when you lose everyone you love okay? Get out of here before I beat the shit out of you." I snap and I walk away. She shouldn't do that. It's not fair to lose some one you love and just say get over it.

That's like saying you have cancer and you are going to die. And just "get healthy."

I walk into a thrift shop nearby that I hadn't hit yet and in Maine, and what I see is astounding.

"Hey babe, look at this!" A blonde girl said and I noticed the man she was with. "Alex?" She asked and Lisa looks at me.

I have tears in my eyes and she points me out to Alex. "What? Jack just sent me..." He trailed off when he followed his gaze. His eyes lock with mine and I just stand there.

"Do you know her?" Lisa asks and he just looks. "I don't think so." He said and I just try not to sob out loud. I slowly turn around and walk out the shop.

He was supposed to know me!! He was supposed to tackle me into a hug and cry with me. Not say he doesn't know me.

He knows me right?

I feel a hand on my shoulder and I see dotty there with a sad smile. "I'm so sorry. Here I just got these and I was wondering if you would go." She said and she shows me her phone. I see a warped ticket in her email. Well 2.

"Yeah I'll go." I said and I walked away. Trying not to remember the love of my life didn't even recognize me.
