Madison -
I threw the blanket off myself and got out of bed. I could hear the wind slamming the windows as I went about my morning routine. After finishing up I threw my work clothes on, grabbed my keys and left the house. my phone reads 1pm, "great hopefully the day goes well" I think to myself.

*ding*

The bell of the shop rang on the door as I entered. "Madison ! right on time. you'll never believe what happened today."-Natalie exclaimed as I clocked in. Natalie started work here a few months ago. She's actually tolerable. Can I say that about someone? Yes, it's not wrong to have an opinion. "Natalie- hey what's been happening ? Someone fired?" I asked genuinely curious .

Natalie always has a story for me, she comes in a little earlier than me and typically already has a story waiting on me from the morning shift. "What oh no no.aha. There's word that THE Salvatore's are here visiting. Can you believe it? I mean I guess you can because this city isn't very small so anyone could vacation but oh my gosh I'm so excited to see what they are like, what if they visit our diner? What if they wanna marry me?" Natalie rambles on. I shake my head as I begin taking orders. "Good afternoon, what can I get you guys today?" , "I'll have a egg omelet-"

After taking the final order of the night I head over to finish wiping tables down. "And pepper told me that Lawrence told her that he wanted to explore other options and supposedly she seen him and Chloe at West Point biscuits and salads" "Chloe the dishwasher?" I whisper back to Natalie . "Yes! And she's not talking to pepper because pepper tried to confront her today annnddd Taylor called in but I heard it's because he's actually just been out raving" I nod , Natalie always knows something about someone. It's honestly great since I never have anything else going on so these little gossip reports are my highlights. Boring- I know.

"Okay Natalie I'm heading out. Get home safe!" I call out as I shut the door behind me. It smells kinda like rain, am I the only one that can smell the rain before it starts? It smells like animals in a field but not stinky. Anyway I looked up leaving my many thoughts just to jump out of my clothes from the  loud thunder. *oofph* I fall onto my bottom. "I'm sorry let me help you up" I see a hand reach out for me, "oh you are okay. I apologize , I was busy in my head" I give a small laugh brushing my pants off. "I understand. Stay safe out here." He said as he walked the opposite way. * that's was embarrassing * I think to myself as I continue home.

"Oh yea" I say cuddling into my warm blanket , i turn the tv onto my comfort sleep show on low volume and listen to the rain as I play my little mobile game. I swear this game eats through my wallet. Lol. After a few hours I turn my game off and lay down, I wish tvs had a button to turn down brightness, you know?
I close my eyes and drift to sleep to the sound of rumbling patters against the window.
