Exhausted.
I was fucking exhausted. I'd barely slept a wink last night. How could I ?
He'd gotten into my home, how was I supposed to feel safe here now. How was I supposed to feel safe anywhere.
I stared at myself in the mirror. My eyes were dark and face looked pale, even my hair was a frizzy mess from all the tossing and turning.
I knew I had to make myself presentable in order to keep viola from asking questions. I had to be my usual self in order to protect her.
An hour later I was arriving at work. I didn't think I'd ever be thankful for walking through these doors but I truly am.
"Honey, are you alright?"
Viola stood in front of me and I immediately snapped out of my thoughts.
"Yeah I'm good, sorry. Day dreaming again" I smiled
She suddenly out stretched her hand toward me and I took notice of the white envelope that she was holding.
I wouldn't have usually found it odd but the red rose that was also in her hand made my suspicions rise.
"This was dropped off for you" she explained
Her eye brow was raised and she was presenting me with a cheeky smile. She shoved the envelope slightly closer to me anticipating me taking it.
She was more curious than me to see what was inside, but curiosity killed the cat.
"Thanks" I managed to say
I took the note in my hands but felt the feeling of dread consume me.
"What you waiting for?" She asked excitedly
"Um, nothing...I'd just think I want to read it in private"
"Oh I see, something dirty I suppose? It's like sexting but with letters. Classy" she joked
"It's nothing of the sort, I can promise that"
I made my leave for the toilets, throwing the rose in the bin on the way.
I took a deep breath before opening the note.
Callie,
Be ready 7:00 at your front door.
If no one knows, no one gets hurt.
~A
My breath got caught in my throat. I knew I was in deep trouble.
I didn't understand what he was expecting of me but what ever it was, I could only assume it wasn't legal.
He wanted me to get my hands dirty after all but I wasn't sure how dirty.
