1 TODAY IS GONNA SUCK

Something or someone was screaming, it sounds distant but also feels like it right in my ears, ...get this between the hours of partially awake and when the Starbucks attendant finally decides to serve my coffee, I am always incoherent of thoughts or speech or walking or stretching or doing anything. am basically a big long and in this case caramel skinned log of wood. and I feel like if you know me you should know that which is why whatever is screaming is about to die is very painful death

Jenna better not be watching anime beside me.

I rolled over to hit her and fell face first on the floor..

"ouch" I held my throbbing forehead, spitting out , I think I licked the floor. today is really gonna suck ,I can already feel it, I sat up and looked around,I fell asleep on the couch, one of the perks of living alone is this, of course apart from the inevitable body pain when you wake up..couch makers really need to do better

I stood up and streched going to the kitchen but stopped half way..

something or someone is screaming somewhere in here,like the person is in pain, it sounds muffled..I turned sharply to my TV, it's not on and even at that I make it a rule to stay away from horror movies, my entire life is enough drama..

"you've made your point Jenna, you can come out now." I said to the darkness, seriously hoping this is one of Jenna's pranks,then remembered Jenna is out of town on a job and i fucking live alone, something is either inside my apartment or am imagining things.it better be the latter, it's not quite daylight yet, I robbed my hands over my eyes to try and adjust to the darkness, it was still there , someone is screaming inside my apartment

I tried to look around for my phone but it's no where in sight and I haven't had my morning cup of coffee damnit...

when your a Corp things like this shouldn't scare you but no one has ever accused me of being brave..... weird maybe but definitely not brave..

suddenly all the horror movies I've ever seen flashed before my eyes, am pretty sure it all has something to do with a girl home alone, with no way to contact the outside world..and a psychotic man with nothing better to do..

I tip toed to the kitchen and grabbed the nearest pan I could get..if these people are going to murder me I should at least put up a fight.am not about to be anyone's bitch..I held on tightly and started heading towards the sound..

am a police officer for crying out loud,I can do this, it's just a scream or potential Serial killer either way am not about to hide in fear..

I squared my shoulders, pushed open my bedroom door and almost jumped out of my skin.

I bit my hand to muffle my screams , with the other one on my chest to calm my racing heart....

"it's just a cloth hanging from a hanger you dimwit " I screamed into the darkness , suddenly filled with anger I stomped over and kicked the darn thing down..

my phone on the bed was blinking and the screaming sound was coming from it..

Jenna changed my alarm tone

"Jenna you are so dead when you return" I screamed at the phone and switched it off..

I wiped the sweat on my forehead from all the fear, it's not everyday you think someone is about to murder you in your own house..

I made to go back to the kitchen when my phone rang.

"miss Nicholas " came the grumpy voice from the other end immediately I picked up.

"oh hey boss"I said with all the cheeriness I don't feel

"I called twice earlier"

"oh am good too thanks for asking , how are ya"..

"you have 30 mins to get here" he rambled on totally ignoring my heartfelt care

"wait wait...did I forget to tell you..?, my sister in-law is about to put to bed, I was actually about to call and take the whole month off, am really all she ha...."

"olivia I swear to God , if in 30 minutes I don't see you here"

with that he hung up the call..I starred at my phone in shock..first hanging up of calls is my thing , Its what am known for.. secondly I haven't even taken a shower , how am I possibly going to ,take a shower , get dressed , get in line at the Starbucks down my street to get my mocha latte and then get to the station all in 30 minutes..?

I flung my big sleeping t-shirt over my head and dived into the bathroom for the quickest shower known to mankind..

I brushed my teeth with one hand and tried to dry my hair with the other, TRY being the dominant word because trying to tame my mop of hair with 2 hands is a hassle on a normal day and brushing my teeth with the other hand and you have a potential suicide waiting to happen..

I abandoned the thing and threw on the nearest jean next to me..it had pizza sauce on my left tigh

"it's like everything is working against me today " I screamed

today is already going to suck I just know ..

5 minutes later I had on a new jeans , a black top and fumbling with my booth..it's at moments like this I regret being a Corp ..

why didn't I just become a doctor or a lawyer like my mom wanted or I could even become tour guide.. anything that doesn't require me running off at odd times..

I grabbed my bag from my blue ottoman , flung open my door and came face to face with Mrs Hemsworth..

"I heard some screaming "she said pulling her robe tighter on her frail body, I know she is not concerned as much as she is just looking for things to hold against me...the woman never liked me and has been looking for ways to kick me out after that little party all those months ago that went out of hand ..first Jenna threw that party not me and secondly I didn't know college girls could get so wild after drinking ... I've apologised so many times , yet she won't let it go,even her dog hates me ,the little ball of fur is actually a little ball of thorn..

"am really sorry Mrs Hemsworth, am in a hurry but I promise it's not that serious, I was just being paranoid " I flew past her down the stairs, she made to follow me but probably realized she was 76yrs old and not 15,

I threw my bag into the back seat and started the ignition..

the car made a muffed noise and went off..

" come on , not today please"

I hit the steering wheel and tried again, it made the same muffled sound and went off..

merda..!!!

I think am in over my head..
