Another Way Out [Heavily Editing]

Extra Chapter. 11a

I am currently working on the 12th chapter and I am getting a bit of writers block, Like I know what I'm doing with this story, it's climax, it's ending, everything, I'm just having a hard time how to put it in place,
It's been like 5 days since the update I think? Nope a week at least.
Well anyway this will be a really short chapter but not to Penelope's POV this will be Johnny's POV through the time that he went to talk to Penelope's boss so she wouldn't get fired. So yea enjoy and I'll try to finish the 12th chapter soon.

Chapter.11a ❤️

Johnny's POV

I wasn't sure if leaving the girl with the guys was a good idea but I am doing her a favour so I guess I will have to risk it.

I'm still pondering if I can go through Aaron's plan, like yes he's my friend and all but he can go a bit far at times, he's really confident in making this band happen with Jeff and Jorel.

Aaron really wants the others to join him but they're not confident about it, Matt is at a maybe, Jordan is considering it, Dylan doesn't really care and I, well I'm not sure what I can really do, sing? I'm not sure I can again. Keyboard? We can hardly afford to pay the rent how are we going to buy a keyboard? Guitar? I haven't played for so long. I wonder where my guitar is...

After searching for the shop I found it. It was a really small and beat up coffee shop. I guess this is it, I took my mask off and put it in my bag. I entered the shop to see 3 people inside drinking coffee or reading. A lady came to me.

"Hello sir, I am Frida and welcome to our coffee shop, may I take your order?"A woman in her late 20's asked, her uniform was wearing all black with a white apron with some coffee stains on it.

"Actually I wanted to talk to a woman named Sonja?" I asked.

"You wish to speak with the owner?" She asked.
I nodded my head.

"Alright." She said as she turned around and went to the staff room. I waited for a couple minutes then she finally came.

A woman that looks a lot younger than the other woman, came to me. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, a straight nose, and pink full lips. And just like the other one, she was wearing black and a white apron, except she had a no stains.

"How may I help you sir?" She asked, she looked extra mean than the other one.

"Hello I am Johnny and I've come to let you know that one of your waitress Penelope won't be coming in for work for a while." I started.

"Sigh... Come with me." She said a bit annoyed.

I followed her to the staff room, and in the staff room she lead me to another room which seemed to be her own office room. She closed the door behind us.

"Who the hell does that girl think she is?" She asked very pissed off. Damn, I didn't think she would be pissed off, honestly I was expecting for her to be concern about the girl's safetyz

"Look something came up with her and she's not feeling very well." I said already prepared for what to say.

"And how the hell do you know Penelope? That girl has no one, every time we ask her if she has any friends or family she always said none. Who the hell are you to her?  A Brother? Boyfriend?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.

"You can say that I'm a 'friend' of her since we met not too long ago..." I responded.

"So she finally made a friend. Mr.Johnny, where is Penelope? She already missed her shift yesterday, she still has to work today, tomorrow, then the next day and the next day and the next day." She said very irritated.
