**5 years later**
**My alarm goes off**
It's 6:00 am but I don't have to be at work until 8:30 am Therefore it is my 24th birthday and of course, I have to work, but hey I gotta say I've been making hella money being a Registered Nurse. I got out of bed did my morning hygiene put on my black scrubs with pink shoes on and headed to the car.
FaceTime from The Dynamic Trio 🧡💫 coming through my Bluetooth:
Tae and Shay: Happy Birthday Bi-
Me: y'all know I don't like that cussing stuff but thank you.
Tae🌈: so what are you doing for your birthday?
Me: I gotta work today at the Hospital from 8:30 till 6:00 pm.
Shay💚: WTF. Maya you haven't had a day off in like one month that's all you do is work.
Tae🌈: Right, you need to do something Maya shit if you don't slow down yo ass going to be in the hospital for not having the time off you need.
Me: Your right, bu-
Tae🌈: But nothing you turn that car back around and tell them that you had an unexpected family trip come up or I will.
Me: this is my job Tae I can't do that
Shay💚: I'm calling bye.
Sometimes I hate how they treat me like a kid but it's a blessing to have friends who care about you and your health.
