(Pt. One )

Michelle spent her whole life taking care of others; she never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Ever since she was a child she has enjoyed caring for others and providing them with the comfort they need. If Michelle felt like someone needed help, she would help them; it doesn't even matter who the person may be. 

Anyone who knows Michelle knows that she isn't selfish; she couldn't even be selfish if she wanted to be. Putting others before herself wasn't very difficult for Michelle. She could never think about herself first; she was just used to everyone's needs coming before hers. Out of fear, Michelle would never say no to anyone; she just didn't want to risk hurting someone's feelings by telling them no. 

For example, just last week Michelle's girlfriends Beyonce and Kelly texted her asking her if she wanted to have a coffee date with them on Saturday. Usually, Michelle would be thrilled to have dates with her girlfriends. However, that week Michelle had been working nonstop; she was exhausted and needed to rest. She was going to use her day off, which was Saturday, to finally get some rest. 

Michelle knew she needed to get some rest. Her body couldn't take another comment without sleep and Michelle knew that. However, she just couldn't say no to her girlfriends, so she ignored her exhaustion and agreed to the date night. 

Fast forward to Saturday morning, Michelle wakes up feeling like shit. She can barely even get her eyes open before she is overcome with the urge to puke. At first, Michelle ignored the strange feeling; she just figured it was her body trying to wake up. It wasn't until Michelle felt a sharp pain in her stomach that she acknowledged the feeling. 

Shortly after the sharp pain, Michelle felt what she ate last night begin to travel up her throat. Not wanting to vomit on her floor, Michelle quickly jumped up and ran to the bathroom. She opened the toilet seat, dropped to her knees, put her hand over the bowl, and puked out her guts. 

After a good minute of emptying her stomach, Michelle was done throwing up. Her eyes were filled with tears, her face was covered in sweat, and her whole body was exhausted. Michelle gathered the little strength she had left to get up and go back to bed. 

The moment Michelle's head hit the pillow she was out like a light. She was in such a deep sleep that she didn't hear her phone vibrating on the dresser beside her bed. Seemingly Michelle had forgotten about the date she promised she would attend; she didn't realize that she had woken up around the time that the date was supposed to happen. 

While Michelle was asleep in her bed Beyonce and Kelly were at the coffee shop waiting for her to arrive. Beyonce and Kelly couldn't wait to see their girlfriend. They hadn't seen her all week due to how much she had been working. 

Beyonce and Kelly loved how hard their girlfriends worked, her determination, and her drive. Still, they couldn't deny how much they missed her throughout the week so they set up this date to finally spend some much-needed time with her. They made it a coffee date because they know how much Michelle loves coffee. They thought it would be the perfect date, which is why they were disappointed when Michelle didn't show up. 

Michelle's voicemail rang in Kelly's ear for what had to be the fifteenth time. Kelly kept trying to call Michelle because she wanted to see where she was and if she was even going to show up. Beyonce didn't even bother to contact Michelle; she knew the girl wasn't coming and she was too upset over the fact that she stood them up.
