This Can't Be Possible

Why is my window open?!

I feel my heart drop as I slowly start to panic

I always have it closed, I only open it when it's chilly outside to let a light breeze in during the day. And even then that's rarely.
I take a deep breath in and out to try to control my nerves and get up from my bed, I shouldnt jump to conclusions. Maybe Wendy opened it and I never bothered to check.

I walk out of my room and towards Wendy's room, I softly knock on the door not knowing if she's up or not

"I'm awake" I hear her say tiredly like she had recently woken up.

I'm so glad she's awake.

"Hey Wendy, you open my window any time today?"

I ask hoping the answer is yes even though she never opens my window. Way better than a psycho opening it.

"No? Why?"

Fuck man..

"Nevermind, just asking. Must have forgot to close it since I was so tired last night"

I lie, not wanting to stress her out. Heck it could have been anyone, there are some crazy people where I live. Heck if I think about it long enough, I'll believe I really did open it and not remember. I go back in my room to see if anything Is missing. Nothing. That means it wasn't a burglar, or it was and they didn't find anything good, I mean I'm not surprised hahaha

I'm glad my closet doesn't have any doors so there are no real hiding places, well that's bad if I wanna hide from something or someone in my room if something were to happen. The only real hiding place is under my bed, but who would actually hide under a bed? That's like the first place people hide to and people go to
To find someone

Is there really anything I can do about an open window right now?

I close it and make sure to lock it tightly

There's nothing I can do so I should just go about my day and not let this get to me. I'm in a good place right now, stress and anxiety isn't going to help me. I go to the kitchen and make myself some breakfast

After spending a little time to myself I get dressed and head out on my walk.

I should probably buy some good locks though after work, better safe than sorry.

I head inside the Cafe and sit in a chair in front of the counter. I still have some time before I gotta clock in, might as well enjoy some coffee first. One of my coworkers went up to me with a smile.

"Howdy Colgate, want some coffee?"

I nod smiling back

"Peppermint mocha please"

"Coming right up!"

As she gets my order I see TK walk in, I wave at them.

"Sup my broski?"

They roll their eyes and wave back getting behind the counter to clock in

"Hey toothpaste"

"Heyyy!"

They let out a chuckle at the nickname from a nickname and my reaction

I'm Colgate not "toothpaste"

Get it right 😤

A few minutes later my coworker friend comes with a cup of peppermint mocha with whip cream on top with peppermint shavings on it

My eyes sparkle

"Yess I love this drink!"

I take a sip savoring the taste and then start gulping it down in seconds whip cream and all
