chapter 15

Adrianna

I wake up to my alarm and see that I had slept on the couch last night. My body felt hot and I didn't sleep well last night as all I did was turn and toss all night.

Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up so late finishing up the painting.

I notice Harry in my arms as I gently move him over as I get off the couch. As I was about to head over as to the bathroom, I look over at the canvas and see it finished with leftover details that need to be done.

"Not bad, Adrianna..." I mutter to myself as I take off my shirt and head over to the bathroom to take a shower.

I unusually take an hour-long shower as I hop on out and get dressed with some makeup. I curl my hair in hair rolls as I get in the kitchen and set up my coffee for the morning.

The smell of paint fills my home as it smells familiar.

I pour Harry's food and water for the morning before I grab my coffee and head back into my room to pull out these stupid big hair rollers.

I get my things ready as I head over to the canvas and put a plastic sheet over it and I look at Harry. "You." I glare at him. "You better not touch this with your little paws."

In return, I get ignored as he runs into my bedroom. I finish putting the plastic sheet over the canvas but I guess I spun around too fast because suddenly my head starts throbbing and I fall to the floor.

I only knock down a few brushes as I'm on my knees. I put my hand to my head checking my temperature and feeling normal.

I help myself up with my hand on the couch before I slide on my heels and throw my bags over my shoulder, locking the door and heading over to the elevator. My body felt tottery.

I get in the elevator and I swallow down the dryness in my throat as the doors close.

I lock my car as I head over to the building. I say hello to Milo, as usual, get in the elevator, and arrive at my office as usual.

Everything was usual but why am I the only one who feels dread?

"Hello, Ms. Clarke," two men welcome me as I get off the elevator.

"Good morning, Todd and Quinn." I nod to them as I pass by them.

I unlock my office, unpacking my things as I turn on the computer. As I lean over to grab a pen across my desk, my hand went weak all of a sudden as my arm drops.

I shake my arm off, feeling the weird sensation spread around my body, shivers hitting down my back. What's wrong with me today-

There was a knock at the door. "Come in..."

I see Lance come in with his tablet. "Ms. Clarke, I finish the spreadsheet for reports of the last month and I was wondering..."

Lance's voice suddenly trails off and I look down at my desk and see blood drops on my sheet of paper. I touch my nose and see blood across my hand.

Slowly everything started to shift to the side. "Ms. Clarke!"

I grab the edge of my desk, grabbing a hold of myself. "It's alright, Lance." I grab a couple of tissues from my desk as I get to my feet. "Um, is it alright if you could ask me later, Lance?" I bring the tissues over my nose.

"For now just hold that off and excuse me." I open my office door and rush to the bathroom.

I get to the bathroom and turn on the sink I pull away the tissue and see blood all soaked into the tissue. I throw the tissue away and blow my nose, cleaning myself up.
