Kaylyn's P.O.V

                       Monday mornings. My least favorite day of the week was Monday, easily.

I hit my alarm clock, and groaned. Ugh. I knew I had to get up. Did I want to? Nope, but I had to. I rolled out of bed and onto the floor. Literally. The floor was cold and hard, but I still didn't want to. I crawled like a baby to my bathroom. Yeah today was destined to be exhausting.

                      I pulled myself up using the sink and looked in the mirror. Dear God. I looked like some wild animal. Staying up last night watching movies with Matt was fun, but I regretted it now. Matt had been my boyfriend for two years. He helped me with renovating the coffee shop my sister and I owned. I had been mine and McKenzie's dream for years to own a little coffee shop. One where people could exchange books, meet new people, perform at open mics, and just have an overall fun experience.

                      Matt and the coffee shop we're basically the two most important things in my life. They kept me sane. I lived in the apartment above the coffee shop. It lived small, but I made do; An un married 18 year old doesn't need much room.

                     I got ready for work. It didn't take long I pulled my hair into a bun and used a red bandana as a head band. My eye makeup was very basic and natural. I wore a loose fitting white tank top and black skinny jeans and my white converses. I accessorized with my black cross ring and red rose stud earrings. I finished my look off with my signature red lips. Yep. This outfit screamed Kaylyn.

                      I walked down stairs into the actual coffee shop. I looked out the door and the n to the clock. 7:03.

"Oh shit. Mr. Simmors." I mumbled sprinting to unlock the door, setting the chair at his normal table down on my way. Sure enough, he was siting in front of the building, on the bench we had nicknamed "Mr.Simmor's Bench". I fumbled through my keys to find the one that unlocked the shop. I found it, but struggled to unlock the door, but I eventually did.

"Ohmigosh! I am so sorry!" I said singing opening the door.

"Its quite alright dear," Mr. Simmors replied, as he slowly got up.

                    Mr. Simmors was 73 years old and lived in an apartment building just a block away. He comes and has coffee every morning. He was one of my best friends, honestly he listened to me and there is never a dull moment with him around.

"I'm sorry, I don't have coffee ready yet, I got up late, and didn't have time to make it, butt ill go do that now."

"Its fine, I've got time." he said pulling his chair out.

                   I headed to the back, and started making coffee I heard my sister come through the door.

"Morning Mr. Simmors!" McKenzie said walking toward the back. 

                  My sister McKenzie was four years older  than me, we had shard the dream of opening a coffee shop and when we did, we couldn't have been more excited. Kenzie lived with her fiancée and gave me the small apartment above the shop. Kenzie barely cleared 4'10", while I was nearing 5'8". We were actually stepsisters, but when were so close we just said we were sisters.

                 I stared the coffee pot and went out and sat next to Mr. Simmors.

"So, What are you doing today?"

"Nothing, really."

"Well, I'm just working all day, so it will probably be very boring."

"Make the most of it."

"Oh, I'll try." I said getting up and going to get Mr. Simmors cup of freshly brewed coffee. I took it out to him.

"Thank you dear."

"Welcome," I said as my first official customer of the day walked in.

                   I worked hard all morning, until around 10am. when things slowed down a little. Matt walked in.

"You're a little late, don't you think?"

"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry." he said walking behind the counter, "I was at the mall. Its really busy. There's teenage girls literally everywhere. It's ridiculous."

"Interesting," I said back.

"Yeah, there's some big concert this week, but I don't know who's performing." Kenzie said.

"Well, that interesting. Mandy, Hannah and I perform here Wednesday night, so that has to be the reason," I said with a wink.

"Oh, I'm sure," Matt said kissing my cheek, "Well, I guess this means a lot of business for us this week." 

                  Oh yeah, Mandy, Hannah and I were performing for the first time ever, and there was a big concert in town which meant we'd be super busy. This was great. Oh, and Matt had been really distant lately which kind of had me worried. A lot was going on right now. Which meant I was headed for a break down. Wonderful.

"Bye Kids!" Mr. Simmors said leaving the shop.

"Bye Mr. Simmors!" we replied in unison.

                                                         Well, this week will be fun....
