[ WP ] The person sitting closest to you ( or if you 're alone , the last person you saw ) suddenly touches your shoulder and reveals a major , life-changing secret .

Let me preface this by saying I'm a bit drunk, and have never submitted anything on here before. Also, I'm writing this from my phone. 
 
 Jeremiah and I had been working together for about 6 months now. We had just learned that our boss and good friend had just been fired, and were awaiting news to find out who our next boss would be. 
 After most of the day had passed we decided to say fuck it, and grab some beers to drink during our shift. A big no no for this company, or any company for that matter. Our morale was low so we did n't really care. 
 The day, like most days, was not busy at all. It was mostly standing around waiting for customers. They seldom came. 
 I grab us some IPAs, Jeremiah had never had one before. I figured it was as good a time as any to try them out. 
 Jeremiah cracks one open and starts guzzling. I am a little annoyed because you're not supposed to chug good beer, but I do n't say anything. 
 
 `` Pretty good.'' He says, with a fat smile on his face. 
 
 An hour or so passes and we're starting to let the beer affect us. The store still has no customers. So we were having a good time talking about sports, women. Everything, and nothing. We avoid the difficult subjecting of losing our friend to the bureaucracy that is our company until Jeremiah asks. 
 
 `` Hey, wan na hear something fucked up?'' 
 
 I turn my head up, away from the computer to listen. 
 
 `` Do you wan na hear the real reason why John got fired?'' He asks. 
 
 `` His numbers were shitty right? `` At least that's what I had been told. 
 
 `` No, dude he was a dick. `` 
 
 John was one of the nicest guys I had ever met. And I had always thought that his employees loved and respected him. 
 
 `` What do you mean?'' I ask. 
 
 `` Man, he was just an ass hole.'' 
 
 He would n't elaborate. 
 
 `` I just could n't stand working for him anymore.'' 
 
 I'm confused. `` Dude, what the fuck? What was there not to like about John?'' 
 
 He leans back in his chair and folds his arms. He looks satisfied. 
 
 `` I told Dante that he was taking money from the register.'' He confesses. 
 
 Dante was our District Manager, and he disliked John. Money had been missing from the register. I thought it was another employee who had recently been let go. 
 
 `` Dude, Ben got fired for stealing the money.'' I said. 
 
 `` Naw.'' I get a sick feeling in my stomachache. `` No dude it was me. `` He erupts with laughter. `` I just quit taking it after he got fired.'' 
 
 `` You're seriously fucked up.'' 
 
 He just sat here with his scheming grin. I hardly ever get angry. But right then, I was livid. At a loss for words I get up and quickly walk to the front of the store to get a hold of our district manager. The alcohol had taken a strong hold on me. My phone was dead and I did n't have Dante's number on hand. I was drunk and pissed off. At that moment I felt helpless. But I'd have to wait until I sobered up to do something about it. Jeremiah comes out from the back and approaches me. 
 
 `` You better not be a bitch and say anything. ``
