Hey NMC's, I'm back with a new chapter and I quickly wanted to apologize for the lack of updates lately but exams are coming up soon and... yeah, I think you get the drill.

Any who, here is part 2 of "Confession"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Nerissa's P.O.V)

Time: Early Morning

"Well, this is it..."

I stood in the doorway of my apartment with an umbrella in one hand, not opened of course, and a travel bag in the other, stuffed with cloths and other items of mine.

I was currently wearing my usual light brown platform heels but instead of my tight white dress that I always wore, I had a pair of light blue jeans on along with a white tank top and a light colored track top over it, the sleeves rolled up.

I took one final glance at the place that I have been calling "home" for the past so many years before I shut the door and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Once I reached the ground level, the smell of tobacco mixed with alcohol and piss quickly hit my nostrils and I scrunched my face up in disgust. The main lobby wasn't anything special, in fact it was a poor excuse of one to start with.

The walls were torn through, cracks were visible in the floor boards and the ceiling looked as if it was going to fall apart soon. There was a reception desk by the door to the building but with no receptionist in it and other than a worn-out couch at the other end of the room, there was no furniture to be seen.

Ok, I take it back... it was a poor and sad excuse of a lobby.

"Last time I ever see this shit hole" I thought to myself as I walked out of the lobby and into the streets of the city, the air slightly cleaner filled my lungs. I looked up at the sky and saw it was overcast, light thunder playing in the background.

I tightened my grip around my umbrella, ready to pull it out in case it started to rain and made my way down the street.

"Oi, bitch!"

I quickly turned around to the sound of the voice to see no one there but when I looked up, I saw the owner of the building on my apartment balcony, looking down at me with a display of anger on his face.

He was bald-headed with light grey hair on the sides, over weight that revealed a huge stomach through his under sized shirt and worst of all...

He wasn't even wearing any underwear.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going? And wasn't I clear about the water? It's all cold now, thanks to you! How the fuck am I supposed to take a shower?!?"

I just looked up at him blankly, not ushering a word in response, before turning on my heels and walked off.

"Hey! Get the fuck back here, bitch! I swear, when I get my hands on your ass you'll wish—"

I just kept walking, ignoring the on-going bickering and swearing from above me, mentally groaning to myself.

"Mundies these days..."

Time Skip

The first few drops of rain landed on my cheeks and I quickly wiped them off with the back of my hand that held the umbrella before I stopped in my tracks and set my travel bag to the ground.

I unhooked the strap around the umbrella and pulled it open, just in time as a light shower commenced.

Rain pellets hit against the umbrella as I leaned down and took hold of my travel bag once again and resumed down the street until I came around the corner to see the Woodlands towering high above me.
