It's been 6 months since I escaped and I am living with my best friend at the moment. After I escaped he tried to call me a few times but I quickly blocked his number and the ones from his friends. I was healing with every passing day and you could tell that Liza felt much safer around Valentina than him. Although he was her father...
Valentina told us we could stay as long as we wanted or had to when we arrived and though she made us both feel welcome I felt like we were a burden so I started to look for a apartment like 1 month ago and actually find a apartment and a few weeks ago I actually found one that was big enough but no too expensive.
"You have everything?" Val looked at me after shoving the last box into the car. Although we were only staying t her place for a few Months we had a lot of things. Mostly Baby stuff for Liza but I also go some new cloths since I wasn't able to bring much from the house. I nodded at her shortly "Yes, and if you still find anything, its just a 5 minute car ride, ok?" We both laughed a bit before she pulled me into a tight hug. We weren't moving to the end of the world but we were till moving out of the house I lived in with my best friend.
After finally putting Liza to sleep in her new crib I could finally let myself fall onto my new Sofa and eat the Pizza the delivery guy just dropped of. It wasn't long till I hears cries from Liza's room. I got up to get to her room and calm her.
She was screaming for 2h straight when it was knocking on the door. "Hey could you like turn this off some people in this building need sleep." A pretty handsome man was standing on my door step when I opened. He was tall with a beard and dark brown hair. His voice sounded raspy like he was woken up by Liza's screaming. "I'm so sorry. I'm doing everything I can but she has to get used to the new environment." I smiled lightly trying to excuse myself though I knew it wouldn't change anything about the situation. "Well I have to get my sleep so do more." with that he turned on his heel and went back to his apartment next door, leaving me there with my chin hitting the floor. Liza's screaming pulled me out of my shock. After closing the front door and going back to her room I googled top ten ways on .
After another 45mins I finally managed to put her to sleep. I was so exhausted I immediately crashed on my bed.
I woke up by my alarm echoing through my empty room just filled with my bed. I went to the kitchen to grab a coffee and then to wake up Liza next. The rest of the night she slept pretty well I only had to get up once after putting her down after almost 3h last night. I had the man from last night in my head
I wanted to be on good terms with my neighbors so I decided to get him a little gift as an excuse for last night when I go grocery shopping.
I ended up getting him some earplugs and some chocolate. I dropped the rest of the groceries off at my apartment and grabbed Liza to make my way over to my neighbor with the little gift in my hand.
I knocked at the door. He didn't answer for a bit so I thought he might not be home but right when I wanted to return to my apartment the door flew open revealing him in some sweatpants and without a shirt on his body, revealing his stunning Torso. "Yes?" He looked t me confused pulling me out of my thoughts about his Torso. It took quick second to remind myself why I was there. "Uhm.. yeah.. I brought you a little something as an excuse for last night." I gave him the present. He looked down at the chocolate and the earplugs now laying in his hand. "Thanks.. I guess. Is that all?" He looked back up at me and my daughter. "Uhh.. yeah.. your welcome. Have a nice Day." He threw the door shut and left us both standing in the Hallway. I was a bit taken aback by his rudeness. What have I done to him? Like yes, my daughter was screaming ll night but she is an infant and also I excused myself.
I turned on my heel on my way back to my apartment looking back hoping for some movement off the other door but nothing. I decided to just leave it be and ignore him from now on.
Back in my apartment I put Liza down to nap and decided to unpack some boxes while she did that. I managed to empty out three of ten boxes before she woke up crying for me. I decided to call Val to help me watch Liza and put up some Furniture because whilst Liza's room was completely done mine was sill almost empty the only thing was a mattress and a little Dresser.
We had already placed the new cupboard on the wall, when it knocked on the door. I have to say, it knocked pretty often since I moved in here and it was the second day here. I looked into the face of my neighbor... again. He had a pretty annoyed look on it... again.
"could you maybe not drill fucking holes into the wall when I'm trying to catch up the sleep that I missed because of your little monster over there?" He pointed into the direction of Liza's playpen. "I'm sorry did you just call my daughter a monster? Is it so hard to understand that babies cry sometimes because they also have some bad days just like you? And I'm sorry I disturbed your slumber but I didn't fucking know you were sleeping." I was pretty upset that he was angry at my little Angel just because she was crying. Hearing how upset I was Val came joining us in our little conversation. "What do you suggest when I catch up on my sleep? Some people have to fucking work." Val grabbed my arm to hold me back from punching him right into his face. "Hey sorry that we were so loud we will be quieter from now o and for the nights you should try some earplugs." He looked at him while closing the door gently shooting him a little smile. "You have to learn to not be so aggressive please someday you will get yourself in a full blown fist fight." she joked pulling me back into the living room.
After opening a bottle of Wine we finished both my nightstands and the bookshelf. Since it was already 7pm at this point we decided to make some Pasta for dinner. Afterwards I tried to put down Liza. She was crying for solid 3h before I finally managed to make her sleep.
Val left at around 1am after we finished another bottle of wine and some Gossiping. I was about to close the door behind her when I saw my neighbor stumbling up the stairs. He was not going to his apartment instead he came right up to me.
"I'm sorry for being an asshole I was just in a really bad mood." He slurred standing right in front of me. He was still swaying a little so I could tell that he was drunk out off his mind. "Thanks I guess?" I was a bit confused by his sudden courtesy.
"Wait I don't even know your name yet" he noted when he was about to enter his apartment.
"I'm Sanja"
"Well, welcome to the neighborhood Sanja. I'm Jan."
