_________________________________________________

You wake up to the cold silence of your bedroom as you stare up at the ceiling, eyes locked looking up as you felt like shit yet again

(You)"Why should I even return there? What is there for me that's worth it?"

You say to yourself as the sun shines through the window and onto your face

(You)"If it werent for the fact that I need money, I would burn that place to the ground"

You say to yourself as you roll away from the sun, going back to sleep

You dont sleep for long however, being awoken an hour later with no capability to fall asleep again

You swing your legs off the bed and sit on the edge, rubbing your face before wandering into the kitchen and unlocking the top cabinet above the fridge

(You)"And here I was giving up drinking"

You say as you pull down the bottle of Burnett's Vodka, a house warming gift from one of your friends in the city from when you first moved in 

(You)"Samit you cheap bastard. You pull in enough dough to at least get me some good vodka. At least some Titos or something"

You pour the bottle into a glass and go sit down in front of your window, looking out at the empty streets. The afternoon was the most calm time of day, as calm as the city can get at least. You sip the bitter drink as you open the window up, letting the breeze in as it carries the smells of spring along with it. You sit in front of the window for a couple hours, swapping from drinking the burning beverage and refilling it as you feel your head start to calm down

(You)"Finally, some peace"

You say to yourself as you stand up and walk towards the kitchen, eyes starting to blur over slightly as you warm up the food you had from somewhere. As you stared at it in the microwave you had a fleeting thought of hoping it wasn't spoiled. You hear the microwave ding and immediately forget to look at it, instead just bringing it back to the chair and sitting down to eat and drink more

You find yourself watching the sunset slowly dip behind the horizon and the moon beginning to glow brightly as you get up from your chair and make your way towards the bathroom. Once you finish your business, you feel your phone buzz as someone calls you

(You)"Hello?"

(Mairusu)"Hi there Y/N, it's Mairusu. I reviewed the footage from last night and was wondering how you were doing"

(You)"Oh yeah I'm doin-hic-Doing fine boss. I'll see you tonight"

You say as you hang up before Mairusu can hear anything that would make him want to fire you

(You)"What time even is it then?"

You say as you try to read your phone, seeing that it was about 30 minutes until your alarm to leave would go off

(You)"Fuck I can't drive right now, I guess I have to walk there"

You say as you splash some water on your face to wake you up, looking at the empty bottle of vodka and sighing as you grab a bottle of rum from the cupboard and a large flask to fill. You spill some while while filling the small mouthed vessel. You decide to just clean it up later than night as you stash the flask in the inner pocket of your jacket, and fill another flask to stash on the other side. You then grab your keys and walk out the door, passing your car annoyed as you somewhat stumble your way down to work.
