September 9

I killed him. I killed him. That's all I could think about. I killed him. I sat there, rocking back and forth. I was shivering and mumbling to myself.

I killed him. I killed him. I watched his body and then suddenly I blacked out.

September 7

It was freezing. I was walking home from work at the Medical Center in New Jersey. It had all started on the day I had decided to abandon my crush, Thomas. The pain was unbearable. To relieve myself of the pain, I had started dating Gerald. He was such a sweetheart, with his cinnamon brown hair swept to one side. He had said many things to me that I finally felt like I was being loved.

As I thought to myself, my phone rang. Ring, ring, ring.

"Hello," I said.

"Hey Skyla," said a familiar voice. God why today!

"Oh hi Mariana." I couldn't help it if my voice sounded bitter. Mariana was the world's most annoying person ever. I hated her guts. She got to date my crush. I still couldn't suppress my love for Thomas. He was just so lovable. It made my heart ache.

"Look I'm sorry for calling, Skyla, but I needed to ask you if you knew where the Medical Center was at, cuz I got a job as an assistant there."

Oh shit. I've been complaining to my boss that I needed an assistant and I guess God answered my prayers because lo' and behold, Mariana was my new assistant.

"Yeah I know where it's at." I practically growled at her as I said the next few words. "I'm guessing that you're going to be partnered up with me, but know this. You need to report to work everyday and not play around."

It got quiet on the other end. Mariana's voice then pierced the silence.

"Uh, Skyla, I know that you hate me, but can't we just work together in peace? I really need the money." She started to plead and all I could think was All this is for the MONEY!?!

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I then went through a whole list of pros and cons about having Mariana as my assistant. There were a lot more pros than cons, so frustrated, I answered the stupid girl's question.

"Sure Mariana, I guess we can work together," Mariana started squealing like the pig she was. Before she could continue celebrating though, I continued my sentence, " BUT just so you know, I do have expectations and if you can't follow them, then I'll have no choice, but to fire you." I hanged up and continued walking. By now I was in a pissed off mood.
