You wake up and see that you missed a call from Robert.
You call back right away. "What happened?!" you asked with a little panic.
"(Y/N) I just need you to come down to the store..." whispered Robert.
You get a little worried and don't even brother to change clothes. You have sweatpants and a simply shirt. All you get is your phone and some cash and run out the door.
You arrive at the store to see Robert on the floor smiling with tears in his eyes, "What happened?" you asked.
"I am selling the store..." whispered Robert.
"But this is all you have! What I have... What we have!" you shout with a panic getting in your chest.
Robert stood and and put a hand on your shoulder, "I know... Here." Robert gave you a envelope. "Keep that and... Use it on something good. Also take as many books as you want." smiled Robert as he walked away to the back room.
You stand there with the envelop. You feel tears sliding off your cheek. That's when the flashbacks came.
Flashbacks-- You were just 20 and about to leave college when you got an email saying
You laugh, "In a bookstore?! Are you kidding me?" you laugh. You erase the email.
Now you are in your parents house hearing them argue. You just listen to music to not hear them anymore. You get another email saying
You look at the computer and back at your door, you smile to yourself and reply.
"I don't have much money. I could never go to New York." you send it and wait. That's when he sends another.
You get up and start to pack. "This life... I am leaving it behind... Leaving my parents behind." you whisper as you throw every last of your clothes inside.
You arrive at New York to see a guy in his mid-40's with his wife along side of him. They are holding your name on the poster. You run up to them, "Hey, my name is (Y/N)." you smile as you shake their hands.
"My name is Robert." smiles the man.
"My name is Sara." smiles the women. The lady takes your hand and drags you along to their car.

You guys arrive at the bookstore. You see beautiful books along each shelve. "This is beautiful..." you whisper.
"Not as much as you." smiles Sara.
You hug her. "This will be a better life." you think.
Back to the present-- "But than Sara died... And me and Robert couldn't keep up..." you whisper. You walk along the store and choose five books.
-If I Stay -Of Mice and Men -A Good Marriage -It -The Lovely Bones
When you get out of the store you text Joji, "Let's start with the video." you send it to him and walk to the cafe.
You get two coffees and treats. You walk out to see Joji in front of the store.
Him and Robert are talking then Joji goes inside. You get curious and walk to one of the windows and look into it.
Joji picks some books while him and Robert are talking. Robert than walks away to the back room. Joji makes a spin absorbing him surrounding and that's when he sees you and smiles.
You duck and crawl away but Joji is already out the door. "Hey (Y/N) ready to do the video?" asked Joji.
You laugh, "Coffee?" you lift the coffee for Joji to see. Joji takes the coffee and helps you up.
"What did you and Robert talk about?" you ask.
"He told me, about your little problem... Calvin and me... (Y/N) if you ever feel pressure tell me... I will seriously back off." smiled Joji.
You smile and think, "Thanks... Robert..."
You arrive at your house. "Let me go get somethings." said Joji quickly as he ran back to his apartment.
You set everything down and open the envelop to see about 1,000,000 in there. "Oh... my god..." you whisper.
Joji walks back in with a white board. "Why that face?" asked Joji while laughing.
You show him the envelope, "He... Left you that?" asked Joji.
You nod your head still surprised.
"(Y/N)... You had a lucky job." laughed Joji as he cleared everything from the table, "Do you have lights?" asked Joji.
You run back to your room and get a few lights.

Joji sets everything up, "Now!" clapped Joji once.
"Think about the important main parts of your life." smiled Joji.
You think and smile, "Let's go." you smile.
Joji sets the camera, "Okay... You don't have to say it out loud... You can say it in your head." informed Joji.
You laugh. "Let's just start."
"Hello there owls." you wave while saying it.
Joji tries to not laugh. You roll your eyes. "You guys having being asking for a Draw Your Life. Also TVFilthyFrank." you smile.
Joji rolls his eyes this time. "So... here we go. While in school, I was picked on a lot." you draw yourself being pushed by others. "I was a failure.... But my grades said the opposite and they were all good. Teachers looked at me as a successful person. They were ALL wrong." you sigh.
Joji gets serious and listens to you.
"During Middle School... All my friends were only there was because of my grades. They copied off, of me. Test, Homework, Classwork. You name it and they were only there for my work and not me..." You draw some homework and you in the middle of class with no one around you.
"That was my whole life in high school as well. But after high school ended, I got accepted into Harvard!" you draw a college building with Harvard written above the school.
"Now here is where shit went wrong." you laugh. "I had a friend... Let's call her Jill... (Jane). She would invite me to parties and don't get me wrong. I don't regret meeting her or going to the parties but Hangovers are the worst. I would wake up on the floor or on the lawn and my head would hurt." Than you slam your hands on the whiteboard.
"But... They never showed me... What the future was like. I got out of Harvard with honors in all classes and yet. No one wanted me to work with me. I now... I mean, I used to work in a bookstore where they told me over and over to work with them." you smile.
"Because of them... I met Ian, Max and Joji. Also Calvin." you try your best to draw the four boys. Joji laughs.
"In the end... I don't want to lose these four guys." you whisper. "My life wasn't something good or bad. I was thrown to the floor more than once but I got up." you draw yourself getting up. "I won't give up on life...Even if it is pushing me back down." you wave your hands towards the camera. "Well... That is it.... An exclusive part." you draw Joji and you kissing, "This guy took my first kiss." you don't say who it is. "If you get it right on who the guy is. I will sent you a surprise."
You stand up and turn off the camera and take out the memory card, "I was your first kiss?!" shouted Joji.
"I had no real friends in my past. They were in it for a year and out the next." you explained. Joji nods.
"I am so sorry..." whispered Joji. "It's fine... Plus for a first kiss... It was actually great."
Joji shakes it off slowly, "I'll make some food... While you edit." smiled Joji.
"Sounds good." as you walk into your room.
Joji's point of View-- "Hear that Calvin... I was her first kiss..." I thought to myself as I walked into her kitchen.
"She has nothing!" I shout as I looked around. All I could find were energy bars or something that wouldn't be consider a lunch.
I think for a while and that's when (Y/N) shouted, "Almost done!"
I panicked. "What do I feed this women!" I thought to myself. I run back to my apartment to check out what I had.
Your Point of View-- "All done..." you whisper. you crack some of your fingers and go out to the kitchen, "Joji! You here!" you shouted.
That's when you see the sticky note on the door. "At my place when you are done. -Joji"
You smile to yourself and get your shoes on. "This is going to be fun." as you walk out your door.
