9:30am-

*Week Timeskip*

*BZZ* *BZZ*
I slam my hand down onto my phone to stop my alarm screaming at me. Its been a week since Clover set up the website and i've had no business at all only spam emails which are getting annoying. They keep getting my hopes up, I think i've got a job and it turns out to be spam !

I sit up after my mini rant and walk over to my laptop, I log on and go straight into my email. Nothing. What a surprise.
I hear my phone buzz from my nightstand so i get up from my chair, walk over to my nightstand pick up my phone and fall onto my bed. I turn it on to see a message from Adam :
imessage
Adam:
Hey Grey, i really need to get this of my chest it's been weighing me down for the last week or so now. I like you. A lot. I've been acting weird recently because of how much i like you. You don't understand how much you mean to me. All im asking is you come on 1 date with me, Tomorrow at 3 we can go to the coffee house ? What do you say ? -Adam
(back to real life)
I lay there in total shock unable to move. Did he really just confess his feelings towards me ? What do i say ? Do i say yes ? Do i even like him like that ? I continue thinking for another 10 minutes before finally responding.
imessage
Grey:
hi Adam :) i don't know what to say this was really unexpected. i didn't know you felt this way at all. i don't know how i feel about going on a date with you i don't even think i like you. let me have a think and ill come back to you before 12 tomorrow ? - Grey

(In real life- Adams Pov)
I hear my phone buzz next to me i grab my phone and unlock it as quick as possible. I read over her message again and again. My heart shatters into a thousand pieces I really thought she would say yes. Even though she didn't say no she didn't say yes either. I text a simple reply

Adam:
Oh...Ok lmk
read 10:14
I feel Anger bubbling inside but i dont know why. I close the message before ringing Clover. (Clover is this font Adam is the one im writing in)

'Hello? Adam what's wrong ?' Clover says her voice laced with concern as I never ring her in the mornings. 'Clover, She said no.' i mutter down the phone, I hear shuffling from the other end of the phone probably Clover sitting up 'What do you mean she said no Adam? Who did?' 'I asked Grey out on a date and she said she doesn't know how she feels and she'd let me know' I reply basically whispering at this point. 'Adam you realise her saying she's not sure and she'll let you know isn't her saying no ? You still have a chance don't doubt yourself Grey is an amazing person im sure if she hurt you she didn't mean to, ok ?' Clover says as supportively as she can. All i can reply with is 'Ok bye Clover' 'Goodbye Adam' I then her 2 beeps signifying the call had ended. I collect my thoughts and make my way downstairs to make breakfast.

(Greys Pov) *TW: Physical Abuse* *Mini panic attack*
11:30am

Ever since Adam confessed his feelings to me I can't stop thinking about him, I don't know whether to say yes or no, I love Adam but not in a romantic way. If i went on a date with him it would be so weird for me. I don't think i can picture him in my future. Not as a lover anyway.

Im snapped out of my thoughts when father comes barging into my room screaming 'WHY ARE YOU STILL IN BED YOU LAZY SON OF A BITCH! YOU DONT DO ANYTHING AROUND HERE GET OUT OF BED AND GET DOWN STAIRS NOW!' Before i can reply he walks over lifts his hand and whacks it across my face repeatedly. When he eventually storms out slamming the door behind him. I lay in bed for a while longer, I try to get up but fail as my legs collapse underneath me my breath quickens and my vision blurs. I pick my knees up to my chest and close my eyes trying to calm myself down soon realising it was a panic attack. Come on Grey calm down it's ok it's not your fault your father is a dick.

After 10 minutes my breathing steadied and I sit on the edge of my bed collecting my thoughts.
After I Get out of bed I walk towards my wardrobe and grab a sweater and jeans before making my way to the bathroom for a shower. I turn the hot water on, once it's warm enough i take my clothes of and get in the shower letting the warm water drip down my body before picking up the shampoo and conditioner to wash my hair. After i finish my shower i get changed, wrap my hair in a towel and make my way downstairs to see my father passed out on the living room sofa.
I walk into the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of cereal. I then grab a spoon from the draws and make my way upstairs as I place my bowl on my desk I hear my computer ping, I close my door and walk to my desk not expecting anything i check my emails to see one from someone called Jack Manifold. A JOB ! YES! I get up and start doing a happy dance around my room before sitting back down not wanting to be hit or told of again. I click on the email it read :

From: Jackmanifoldtv@Gmail.com
To: Greyphotography@Gmail.com
Regarding: Photoshoot

Hi,
My name is Jack Manifold Im emailing regarding your website. I basically stream on twitch and upload videos on youtube (JackManifoldTv) and im releasing merch soon but have no one to take photos and someone in my chat recommended you so i went and found your website. I would love to book a slot and was wondering if i could book for sometime in the next couple months as the merch has a deadline of 28th July.
Thankyou, Jack Manifold.

I read the email over and over again not believing what im reading. I actually have a job! I can't believe it! I laugh at the ending before closing it down and making a mental note to respond later
