the breaking line

Morning

I get up at 4:30am every morning when I watch Hazel and Alyssa. To make sure I'm never late.

I turn on my speaker and start playing music. I can never concentrate with out any background music. I rip all my sheets off my bed, I grab one sheet at a time and make my bed tucking in all the corners to make sure it's perfect. I go out into my kitchen and start making myself a cup of coffee. Iced coffee of course, hot coffee is disgusting. I go to look in my closet and find an outfit for today. I slip on a pair of Nike sweatpants and an oversized jumper.

I leave my apartment with a tote bag on my shoulder, my coffee cup, phone and my AirPods, and of course my keys to my car. My apartment has a parking garage on the first floor. So I just park my car there. I go down the stairs, and eventually making it to the parking garage. There has to be around 90 cars in this parking garage.

I found my beautiful red rubicon jeep. I hop in my Jeep and head off towards Michaels house. The distance from my apartment and Michaels' house is only 10 minutes so it's not to far. However I need to fill up my gas.

I make it to the gas station get out of my car and start pumping my gas, I'm here alone besides one person that just pulled up to my Jeep on the opposite side . As i finish I stop the pump and put the pump away in its holder. I hear something moving on the other side of my Jeep I then become aware of my surroundings. A random man, no not a random man, someone I know came around the front of my car to the same side as me.

"Hey Livia long time so see huh?" I make direct eye contact with my ex boyfriend Ethan. Ethan and I were on and off for 3 years throughout Highschool. He was a complete jerk, especially when he wasn't sober. "Fuck my life" I whisper underneath my breath. He keeps taking steps closer and closer to me.

"Livia I miss you, like a lot. And I know you miss me too." Ethan is a very attractive man but no way I would ever date him again. He Non-consensually touched me more then once. "I'm sorry Ethan but I have to go to work nice seeing you though ." I spoke as I open my door climbing into my car. He quickly walked to my other side of my car. I watched him as he opened my door and climbed into my passenger seat. "What the fuck. Get out of my car." I say annoyed. "Olivia. I don't have a home right now I've been couch surfing for three months now" he takes a deep breath. "I saw you walking to your apartment the other day and I was going to knock on your door and ask you if I can stay for a while. So here I am can you please let me stay for a little. While I get my feet under me" he spoke looking straight out the windshield as I faced him. "No, you can't I'm sorry. Can you please leave now I have a job I need to go to" I say gripping my steering wheel with me hands, and turning the key in my ignition. "Fine Olivia I knew you where always a bitch" he says climbing out of my car slamming the door behind him.

Apparently he misses me but I'm a bitch. He should check himself apparently. Now I only got 2 minutes to get to Michaels. Fuck. I plug my phone into my aux cord and started to play my Harry Styles playlist on my way to Michaels.

I finally arrived at Michaels house. Michael gave me a key to his house when I first started so it's easier for me. I love Michaels house, it gives such a warm and cozy feeling. I walk in to the house through the entry way and into the kitchen. I place my keys, phone and tote bag onto the counter "Olivia" I hear Hazel yell as she comes running around the corner and jumping into my arms. "Hi Hazel" I say with a smile starting to form on my face as she cuddles into arms.

Michaels comes around the same corner in his work scrubs with Alyssa in his arms. I want to the image of Michael in scrubs tattooed in my mind forever. He walks into the kitchen smiling at me and Hazel as she is still in my arms. "It nice to see you wearing more clothes then yesterday" he says with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes and can feel my cheeks getting red. Thinking back to my outfit yesterday, just an oversized long sleeve shirt and no pants on. He clears his throat, "I have to get to work, food should be in the fridge" he say laying sleeping Alyssa on the couch in the living room that is connected to the kitchen.

I whisper to Hazel "go say bye to daddy." I set her down on the floor and she runs over to Michael, as he picks her up "bye I love you" he says kissing the side of her head. He sets her down on the couch as well, grabs his keys off of the counter. "Bye Olivia" he says looking up away from the floor and makes eye contact with me. "Bye" I say quietly walking into the living room where Hazel and Alyssa are.
