"Uhh" Jules said as she got out of bed.

She trudged through her messy room. Clothes covered the carpeted floor and there were piles of beer bottles all over the small apartment. She picked up a random shirt off the floor and slid it on over the bra, she fell asleep in. She then went over to her desk, which was covered with cigarette butts and empty beer bottles. She opened the drawer and reached for a cigarette box. Eventually, she wrapped her fingers around it, then took it out and shook it. A single cigarette dropped onto her hand. Jules grabbed a yellow lighter from her desk and went out to her balcony. She sat on a single wooden chair. She lifted the cigarette to her mouth and lighted it. She took a breath, held it in, and then let it out slowly. 

While she smoked she stared at the busy New York streets, even though it was still dark many cars were on the road. All Jules could think about was the job interview she had in two hours, she desperately needed money but every job she tried to get was a complete failure. Oh how badly she wanted to just jump off the balcony and end her miserable life. She got up and stared down at the empty sidewalk beneath her balcony. She climbed up onto the railing carefully holding on the wall for support, she once more stared down at the street. Then the phone rang harshly from the inside. Jules got down slowly and then made her way inside and to her cracked cell phone lying on her bed. She picked up the old iPhone and threw her cigarette on the floor. 

"Hello this is Jules" she said in her deep voice.

"Hi this is Fred from the job" 

"Oh yes hello"

"Please get here in an hour I have things you can do already" 

"Yes sir" Jules said then dropped the phone on the bed as soon as he hung up.
