Lavender tea with honey.

HELLO
So like, I made this back in 2022 and ever since I graduated college last year, my writing significantly improved! (YIPEEE)
So like, I am currently working on a new version of this. Hopefully it will be done soon.
I procrastinate a lot with writing. But yeah once I finish the new version, I'll definitely be posting it.
But yeah, looking back at this now, I can tell my writing wasn't all that great.
It's still not perfect but goddamnit it is a LOT better.
And that is okay! I will keep writing and keep improving.
Anyways, I will do what I can to make it better.
I won't be deleting this old one btw. Since I kind of want to see the new one compared to this one.

Throughout the day, Mel hasn't been herself. This clearly concerned, William. He wasn't sure what caused this, but Mel seemed to be avoiding him today. Normally by the time she woke up she would call, or text him, send pictures of her cat or something.
But it is the middle of the day, and he was at one of his restaurant locations.
Earlier that day, he was helping with setting up a few of the newer animatronics. One was a classic Freddy Fazbear, another was a newer Chica model and the last being a new one. She was a green and blue turtle. Whenever she was on, she would sing and do little dance where her head would pop in and out of her shell. Her name was Shelly. Her job was to help bring lost children to a parent or to one of the employees.
William was excited about this one, a new face in the group of animatronics always brought in more customers.

Eventually, William checked his phone again to see if Mel responded to anything, but there was still nothing. As time went by, he grew more worried. Eventually he had enough with just sitting around and waiting for Mel to respond to him, he was going to check on her.
"I'm leaving early. Call me if you need help with anything." William said to his employees before heading out.
His employees seemed fine without him. Most days he was only there at night or in the mornings anyways. Plus it was a week day, his restaurant wasn't going to be busy today.

He then drove to Mel's apartment. With most people he'd just assume they were busy or had an bad day, but Mel's case was different. He knew that she wasn't mentally well. She never was a hundred percent well when it came to her mental health. Her being quiet for the whole day caused him distress.
It could just simply be her oversleeping, or she forgot her phone at home while she ran errands. Yet it could also be her relapsing and overdosing, her harming herself, or perhaps something worse. What if someone killed her? She had a handful of enemies.
Much other horrid possibilities ran through William's head.
Leaving Mel alone at home for too long was never safe.
Currently Mel was all what he had in his life. His best friend left him, most of his family was dead and his last surviving child, Michael ran away after an argument he had with him. Unfortunately, and William hasn't seen him since then.
William had nobody at this point.
The thought of losing Mel was devastating. She wasn't just his girlfriend, but she was his best friend too, she meant the world to him.
William couldn't risk anything happening to her and he needed to make sure she was okay at all times.

Eventually he arrived to the apartment building. He parked outside of it and sat in his car for a moment, while he texted Mel, telling her that he was dropping by.

The apartment building was in the worst part of town, the building itself was in bad shape. The whole building had a faint smell of cigarettes, cat pee and mold.
Her neighbors were rude, but one of them worried him the most. His name was Nicholas Johnson.
He was an incel that lived in the door across from Mel's apartment.
This man always made Mel uncomfortable, he didn't respect boundaries, he even made a comment about Mel's chest, which ended with him getting slapped. Nick then proceeded to harass Mel for a week asking her to "make up" for the slap.
