i sat on my couch with my pitbull, angel, answering incoming work messages on my phone whilst the tv played in the background. i was checking design prints with my colleagues before sending out the final designs to my boss. i work as a clothing designer at louis vuitton. it was my dream to work there and now i was finally designing clothes for the biggest celebrities out there. being 18 made me one of the youngest employers, but i got good pay from it as well.

it's currently midnight. i was supposed to go to sleep about 2 hours ago because i had an important meeting with my boss tomorrow but i decided to stay up and answer messages and binge-watch netflix. i had put on gilmore girls and started to watch it but soon got bored of it and decided to text my friends to see if anyone was awake. i was seriously bored. angel had fallen asleep and she was being pretty boring if i'm being honest.

i know i should have gone to bed 2 hours ago. but my dumbass didn't want to. i went on to all my chats texting each and every friend 'hi i'm bored' 

after what felt like an eternity of waiting for someone to reply my bestie sofia replied. 

sofia

sheesh i just wanted to say hi 

no need to get all worked up about it

it's midnight amelia.

fucking midnight.

oh shut up

mhm details please

i'll tell you tomorrow she's with me rn

so basically you're leaving your bestie for her.

okay.

goodnight amelia. now seriously sleep.

nope.

why are you so stubborn 

i chuckled at sofia's last comment. i replied with 'i just am' and then turned off my phone and the tv.  i made my way upstairs and tried to get some sleep.

although i knew i'd probably be up for another half an hour or so before i actually fell asleep.

the next morning i was woken up by my alarm. the sound echoed through my apartment. i groaned at the noise. i picked up my phone and checked my messages. not that many. some were from sofia and a few were from my boss and colleagues.

it was currently 8:35 in the morning. i needed to be out of the house by 8:50.  i went into the bathroom quickly showered and then walked out to pick up all my designs. i put them back in the folder because i was apparently too lazy to do so yesterday. i put the folders in my bag along with my laptop and planner. i wore a thin coat of makeup. which was basically just lipgloss. i work at a designer company but i hate makeup. i picked up my phone from my bedside table, said bye to angel and headed out of my apartment.
