Tom woke up to his daily alarm blaring off through his apartment.

As he slammed his hand down on the alarm he heard a rapid knock on his door.

Tom groans to the annoyance of all the interruptions to him trying to wake up.

Tom threw off his blanket in frustration and stormed to the front door whipping it open with an annoyed "what.?" with a hint of venom behind his voice.

Toms sighed when he saw one of the workers of the apartment building at his door.

^i knew i forgot something..^ tom thought

Tom had forgotten to pay rent when he came home from work yesterday.

"I'll be right down to pay" Tom grumbled looking at the floor.

"Thank you thomas!" the lady said, turning away heading back to the elevator.

Tom shut the door and rubbed his face. He normally paid early but he was so into working out, it slipped his mind.

They know he always pays so they dont worry if he's late he's the best customer when it comes to paying.

Tom slapped his cheeks a little and stampered off to get ready for the gym.

Once Tom got down to the front desk in his work out sweat pants and tank the lady was waiting as Tom got out his card and paid for the next 3 months because that's the highest you can pay at a time.
He then walked off to start his daily routine.

Once he got to work after picking Joey up he was greeted by Paul with a smile and a nod as Paul walked in with them.

It looked like he was just taking a smock but he was waiting for them because he would smock in the building too because of all the huge doors open for the trucks to come in and out.

Joey noticed and teased Paul about it causing Paul's small smile to fade back to a frown.

Tom chuckled and went to grab his clipboard and went to check the truck loads but as he typed in the pass word he remembered..
That was Tords old password on his computer.
Tom knew that because he used to use tords computer.
It couldn't be Tords doing because no one in the system's name was tord at all and he never saw him and tord was dead.
It was almost funny to see it again bringing back the years of tord yelling to get off his laptop.

Tom sighed and quickly checked his emails with just updates on the truck loads of the day and he went off for work

Tom groaned as he flopped down on his bed.

He had a pounding headache from all joeys yelling.

Joey was on and on about how he was excited about the training thing tomorrow.

Tom groaned just thinking about it.
They have to do pull ups and have to shoot targets apparently.

It's not that Tom didn't know how, he just didn't want to get comments all day of how.
He knows Joey will have a billion questions.

Just the thought made Tom's headache worse.

Tom let out a heavy sigh as he sat up from his bed rubbing his forehead.

Tom stood up from the creaky bed scuffing his way to the bathroom.

As he flicked on the light Tom blinked for a moment to register the light before grabbing the red lidded pill bottle reading ""tylenol"" before popping it  open the bottle dumping a few in his hand not looking at the amount.
He popped them into his mouth and cupped his hands under the faucet, after turning it on and sipping the water from his hands to swallow the pills.

He braces his hand on the sink as he stares at his reflection.

It didn't take Tom too long to hit the light and slip back out of his bathroom and back under the comfort of his blanket.
