Heather looked in my direction and tears begin to fall from my eyes.
She pushed Ed away from her." huh? What are you doing?" she said and Ed take it by surprise." What do you mean?" he asked Heather probably thinking why am I acting so weird? I quickly wiped my tears off, with my shirt sleeve. And thought, before they tell the truth to him. I need to do something to stop them." I meant to say what are you doing?"Surprisingly, fainting sounded like a really good idea. If I fainted, I'd be unconscious, so I wouldn't have to see the impossible anymore, nor would I have to feel so dizzy and sick. Then maybe when I woke up, all of this would go away and I'd find it was all just a bad dream. The mist started to turn dark around the edges.....For the record: fainting sucks." Guys, I am,... not feeling right," I said out loud to get their attention towards me. And I successfully did." What happened to you? Robin came rushing towards me and behind her was Heather." What happened to you stassie?" Heather asked me." My head is spinning. I think I need to go home."" I can call an ambulance," Robin added. I jumped right off to stop her from calling the ambulance." No, I don't need an ambulance. I need to go home and take my medication."Robin raised her eyebrows and asked me, " Why are you insisting on going home? Are you doing this because you don't want us to tell him the truth?"Robin is way more sharp than I thought, how she knows that I am acting but before I could answer her. We were interrupted by the handsome hunk." Excuse me, Heather are you going to tell me what is happening here? And who is she?" he asked Heather who looked deeply concerned about me but I was quick to respond to his question." Hello, I am stassie but you can call me Stas. I am Heather friend slash tenant. And this is Robin she is her friend also but not her tenant. Heather told us about you and it's a pleasure to meet you, Ed. But you know what we are in a little rush because I am not okay. And don't ask me why I am not okay because I am not able to explain to you. Hope you will understand." I said in one fell swoop.And he scratch his head and from seeing his facial expressions he didn't understand a single word I have just said to him. Which is even better that he didn't understand." My apology, but I don't understand what you just told me." He spoke in his deep gravel voice." I can explain what she meant to say?"Robin answered him on my behalf of me. And I almost blacked out." I-I can't breathe... I need air," I said and made a run for the exit I pushed Ed out of my way and Robin calls my name from behind to stop me and I heard Heather's voice Saying to Ed that she needs to go.I quickly made my way out of the hotel and saw a few guests exit a cab. And with my quick thinking of mine. I jump in the back seat and instructed him to drive.I closed my eyes and tried to discover where the happy half of me was hiding. I felt the tears trickling through my tightly closed eyelids. I felt Whisper's claws tugging at my jeans. I wanted to be all alone in an attic like Skellig with just the owls and the moonlight and an oblivious heart. -And the next thing, I know I was I reach my destination just as the sun begins its descent. Sighing contently, I sit down at the top of the cliff to observe the setting sun. On the left, the City lights up as the sunlight reflects off the shiny rooftops of the shops and business buildings. The glass windows and doors shine with a brilliance that cannot be seen up close but from a distance, it is magical. The pink aura encasing the city seems surreal as my eyes follow the people heading toward their homes after a hard day’s work. A cool breeze brushes past me from the right and takes my attention to the sea.The sea is breathtaking as the golden sun slowly disappears into the horizon. The now calm water sparkles brightly and the warm light gradually decreases, making the illuminated parts stand out. The air smells of salt even from the height and the temperature drops quickly. The sunset is a beautiful moment, the clouds lighting up as though on fire. The trees sway in the refreshing breeze even the birds fly to the nests, cawing softly to bid their friends goodnight. The red light of the evening sky is visible until the sun is completely gone from the picture.The atmosphere has darkened considerably and for a while, it seems as if it would stay that way. Before long, the stars peep out and soon the place is once more trance-like. The tiny pinpricks of silvery light surround the glorious moon that is reflecting on the surface of the water. The moon sinks as the tide rises to meet its copy. Now bewitched, I stare at the dancing fireflies which add their light to the brilliance around them. A lone cricket chirp and soon enough, the night sounds started up in a chorus, almost as it is being conducted.I turn to the town which is deserted even as the moon’s white beams soaked through the reflective surfaces. The shadows of the night are sharp and contrast deeply with the full moon's glow.This is my comfort place whenever I feel low I come over to find peace.And today is one of those days that I am feeling lonely, broken, sad, overwhelmed. What did I just do to deserve this? nobody wants me. I don't deserve happiness.Tears began to form in my eyes and my phone begin to ringing. I took it out of my pocket and glanced at the screen and only find...It was Ed... He was calling me, a tear escaped from my eye and fall on the screen, staring at the screen and his name. My stomach knots and I knew Why Ed is calling me. Heather and Robin told him about everything and I am not that courageous to pick up the call and talk to him. I let the phone ring until it became silent.I thought about, Why do I even try? No one loves me, and no one will help me. I wish there was something I could do to change my life, but nothing can be done. I guess it is time for me to give up. I'm such a loser. No one likes me; mylife is useless. I don't know why I even try. Every good thing I've ever had, I've either ruined or lost. Nothing good ever happens to me. What is wrong with me? Why can't I be happy? Sometimes it's hard to smile through the tears. Life hasn't been kind to me, and I don't expect it will ever be. I don't deserve happiness. I can never be happy. Iwish I could just go away forever." Come on, Heather don't give up. We are almost there,"
I need to talk to Paul before biddy kick me out of the house and I have no choice but live on the street. I shake off the worst thoughts and drove to the bakery.And the next thing, I know I was sitting in the paul's match box size office. In the cramped space I was feeling suffocating.At eye level, a group of papers, a stack of waiter pads, and a portable USB mic and above them lie some older papers and notes. Post-It notes line the walls to the right, and to the left nothing. There is a small desk at seat level that squeezes inside the reformed closet doors, and on it lie a phone, two monitors, and a cup of pens. Various knickknacks cover the desk, but its appearance is not clean.I heard the door open from behind and he was as expected Paul. He entered the office and I find a switch in his facial expressions when he looks down at me." Good morning, Miss Stassie how come you came so early," he asked me in his nonchalant way." Mr, Paul I need t
I don't understand what everyone wants from me? I am just sick of explaining everything to people around me who won't understand me and my Bloody situation.I decided to go to see Robin. She is so moody. I took off my apron and left it on the side of the table.But before I could go to her my phone begin blarring into my pants pocket. I took out it, My hands are shaking as I stare at my phone. The name on the screen is like a punch to the gut. I can feel the blood draining from my face, leaving me cold and numb. I can’t believe what I’m seeing. This can’t be happening. My mind is racing, trying to make sense of it all, but the words just keep swimming in front of my eyes. I feel like I’m going to be sick.I just totally forgot about him. I haven't talked to him after what happened yesterday. " Should I pick his call or not... What would I tell him? why I wasn't talking to him and why I ran away last night? and why is he calling me? Did heather and Robin tell him the truth? Oh, God Ple
I decided to accompany Paul on the cake delivery, as I needed my salary to pay Biddy her rent. “I’ll come with you, but what about my salary? I told you I need it today,” I reminded him.“You don’t have to remind me. I remember, and that’s why I’m taking you with me to collect the money from the client and pay you. Now, I have to go tell Jarred to load the cake into my van,” he said before instructing me to work the register and serve customers while he went into the kitchen.As I stood behind the cash register, the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air. The line of customers seemed never-ending, but I greeted each one with a smile. “Good afternoon, what can I get for you today?” I asked the next customer in line.“I’ll have a loaf of sourdough and a croissant, please,” she replied.“Coming right up,” I said as I rang up her order and handed her the change. “Thank you, have a great day!” I said as she left.“Thanks, you too!” she called over her shoulder as she walked out.The n
“Paul, we can’t just sit here and twiddle our thumbs.” I said.“Then what do you suggest we do, huh?” He snapped back, sounding irritated.“I’ll call Robin! You work on fixing this piece of crap.” I told him and he took his tool box from under his seat and got out of the van. I followed him and took out my phone and called Robin’s number. She didn’t answer at first and I wondered if she was still angry with me for ignoring her advice.But luckily she picked up after a few more rings.“Why are you calling me, Stas? Leave me alone. I have nothing to say to you.” she said and I could tell by her tone that she was furious. But before she could hang up, I said:“Wait, don’t hang up! I need your help. It’s urgent.”“Oh, really? You expect me to fall for that? Just stop bothering me!”“Please, just listen to me. We’re in big trouble. Paul and I were on our way to deliver the wedding cake but his van broke down and now we’re stranded on the highway and the wedding is in an hour.”"What? You’r
I decided to go upstairs and inform the bride first then the cake is in the van and I need some help to get the cake there.I look to an elevator on the side of the Hallway just as a man steps through the cold steel doors before he begin toclose." Hold the door!" I said out loud, ignoring my frantic plea, the man presses a button several times, attempting to close the door." What a jerk!"In a desperate attempt to stop the elevator, I fling my shoe in a Hail Mary and it thuds against the button. The doors open and I sheepishly collect mymakeshift projectile." Can't believe that worked."I hurriedly, made it inside I dust myself off, doing my best not to shoot daggers at the stranger who tried to shut me out of the elevator." That's was impressive."" Excuse me?"I turn to the stranger. As I looked at him, my mind went blank. The man who stood before me was unrecognizable, his face contorted in a way that made my stomach churn. I felt a cold sweat break out on my skin as the shoc
I looked at him one last time before heading out and I heard him saying to stop. My heart completely sink in my stomach but I didn't dare to look back at him or stop.I fasten up my pace and saw a beautiful sign, and the names of bride groom written in to beautiful lettering outside of the venue.As I step out onto the rooftop, I am immediately struck by the breathtaking view. The city skyline stretches out before me, with skyscrapers and buildings of all shapes and sizes. The sun is setting, casting a warm glow over everything and making the sky a beautiful shade of pink and orange.The rooftop itself is beautifully decorated for the wedding. White chairs are arranged in neat rows, facing a small stage where the ceremony will take place. Flowers and greenery are everywhere, adding to the natural beauty of the space.To one side, there is a bar set up, with bartenders mixing drinks and serving guests. On the other side, there is a buffet table laden with delicious food. The smell of t
I can't believe this is happening to me. Why does everything always go wrong? I thought I had it all figured out, but no, the universe just had to throw me another curve ball. I'm so sick of this. Why can't I catch a break? Just once, I want things to go my way. Is that too much to ask? Ugh, I hate my luck. It's like I'm cursed or something." I am asking you what is happening in here?" He asked the manager and Robin looked at me in disbelief. Like, I've intentionally brought Ed here. I don't know what he is doing here in the first place.She shoot a glare into my direction and I shrugged off and returned my eyes back on Ed who was looking me. The manager step forward to answer him." These two girls are causing trouble. They want to enter into Miss Rebecca w party and when I refused to let them enter and call the security. They begin screaming and this one attack the security guard."The manager point the finger at me and I squeeze my eyes shut o
