"YOU'RE FIRED!" were the words that replayed in your head as you were cleaning out your work locker. Tears were streaming down face and felt like they were leaving burn mark from how hot they were.
You had just lost your job at the bank where you had worked for 4 years. Cindy a manager who had worked there always had it out for you. She would always make you work extra hours and deny your request for time off.
Today she had accused you of stealing money from the safe when it actuality it was her bf who also worked there. Stealing was never taken lightly at your job,and you understood why. Once your boss heard Cindy accuse you of stealing he fired you on the stop, he didn't even let you explain yourself.
You walked out to your car,throwing your things in the trunk and checked your phone. You got had gotten a text from your bf David reminding you to stop by his place so y'all could talk.
You then remembered finding an engagement ring in his coat pocket a few weeks ago and the biggest grin appeared on your face. You slammed your trunk closed and rushed to the driver side door. You quickly decided to play some music so you could sing on the way to David's place.
Finding a ring in Davis's pocket was not all that surprising. You and him had been together for the last 3 1/2 years. But you found it a bit strange since y'all had never really talked about the topic of marriage or kids.
Pushing those thoughts aside you giggled when the first song that played was "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups.
"GOING TO THE CHAPEL AND WE'RE GONNA GET MARRIED!"
You screamed as you sung along with excitement. This was the perfect way to end the day...or so you thought.
It was now 7:31pm as you pulled up to David's apartment building. You hummed the tune that was stuck in your head from the car ride here. You checked yourself out in the rear view mirror before turning off your car and grabbing your purse.
You skipped in the hallway as you made your way to your soon-to-be fiancé's apartment. The excitement you had from the thought of being married to this man was enough to make you forget about being fired less than half an hour ago.
"I am his. He is mi-" you sang as you were unlocking the door until you were interrupted by the sight of who you thought was love your life swapping spit with your next door neighbor.
The shock was enough to make you drop your bag and phone. You didn't understand what was going on and why the hell it was happening to you.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" you screamed in utter confusion and pain in your chest. "I'm so sorry y/n. We really didn't want you to find out like this." your neighbor Sara replied. "David what the hell is she talking?" you asked your bf. "Y/n. Sara and I are in love." he answered.
"So how long has this "thing" been going on?" you questioned. Sara responded "it's been-"
"I was speaking to you." you said as you put your hand in front of her face to get her to stop talking. "A year and a half" David responded.
You were so hurt that you couldn't believe it. The man that you had loved unconditionally for the past 3 1/2 years was in love with another woman.
"What about the engagement ring you bought for me?" you asked as your voice voice started to crack. "That was meant for Sara" he said as Sara held up her hand. "I never meant for you to find it" David said. "I can see that now" you responded with tears starting to form in your eyes for the second time today.
"I can't believe that you would do this to me after thing i did for David" you said beginning to cry. "I know y/n and i'm so-" "No i don't wanna hear anything else you have to say to me." you said as you interrupted him.
As you wipe the tears that had fallen down your face you began to pick up your things and storm out of his apartment. You still couldn't believe what you had just witnessed. Your bf and your neighbor making out was the LAST thing you expected to see when you opened that apartment door.
You threw your purse in the passenger seat as you got into your car. You decided to turn on the radio thinking music would make you feel at least a little better. That was until "Dangerously in Love" by Beyoncé started to play.
"Baby i love you"
"You are my life"
"My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side"
Was the sound that could be heard in the car along with the faint sound of your cry. Losing your job and bf in the same day was a feeling you wouldn't want to wish on your worst enemy.
It was now 8:45 when you arrived at your apartment building. You quickly grab your things from the trunk after turning off your car. You walked to the elevator of apartment and pushed the button to 4th floor.
You finally reached your floor and walked to your front door and begin to unlock your door.
The first thing you did when walking into your apartment was throwing your things onto the floor and started to walk to your bathroom.
"A shower might not fix all my problems but it damn sure might help" you spoke to yourself. You turn on the warm water in your the shower as you begin to take off your work clothes.
You step into your shower and stand right in front of the shower head letting the water hit you in your face and stream down your naked body. You stood there with your eyes closed replaying the events of today.
After an hour of standing under the warm comforting water you decided to get out and make yourself something to eat. You walk over to your towel rack and grab a soft brown towel and wrapped it around your still damp body.
You walk into your room sit on your bed and began to moisturize your body and throw on a pair of underwear, a sports bra and hoodie and some shorts. You walk into your kitchen and look into the fridge/freezer. The only thing that looks appetizing was the mini tub of (y/f) ice cream.
You walk towards your couch and plop yourself on top of it and began to watch some marvel movies to watch while you enjoy your "dinner".
"Damn it's already 11:24 i gotta get rea-" you said before you remembered that you no longer have to get ready for work because you no longer had a job. You decided that you had enough action for tonight and walked to your room to go to bed.
