Shadow

Chapter 1 Introduction

This may be wrong but it feels so right. Oh wait, let me start over.

Hi I'm Aubrey. I'm 21 years old, and I live in New York. I live alone in a small apartment in Time Square. Next to me there is a man who lives in apartment 318 and I'm 316.

He seems to stare at me through his window. It seems so dark over there. All I see are his eyes and his skin. Maybe his lips. My parents live in Belmar but never call.

As for my older sister Sarah well, let's just say she has been having a hard time with her husband lately. She says he got fired from his job and hasn't found another yet. Hopefully tomorrow's interview will go well.

But me, no I'm single, never had a boyfriend, never really have, had a crush or anything.

I have blond wavy hair. Blue crystal eyes. My skin is like tan but not black. My life in the city should be fun and wild but it isn't.

Every day I just wake up have coffee and just live. I breathe eat drink and just live. I don't do much because I don't know what to do. Sometimes I just stay in bed and watch The Big Bang Theory or Friends. At least the shows I watch are trending.

I rarely get invited to parties and social "get togethers." I do go shopping but I keep a hoodie on and don't talk much.

I have a job but that's another story. Although I talk like my life is just pure darkness but it isn't all. My rooms are bright and my heart is bright. It's just boring and lonely.

I only have one friend. Her name is Minnie. We met over work. Well your probably thinking "Tell us about your job Aubrey!" Well ok, I work at Starbucks. It's fun because Minnie is usually there but when she isn't I talk to Ricky.

Ricky is a guy who comes to Starbucks every day and won't order coffee from anyone except me. It's creepy but nice in ways.
