Love Blinded

✧-TV Commercials-✧

10:47pm

I woke up uncomfortably, muscles tensed, horrible position and a dry throat. The mattress was stiff and firm making my bones hurt.

I sat up, rubbing my tired eyes. Adjusting my vision I took in my surroundings. A plain light beige room, simple bed in the middle of it that I am currently occupying and a empty closet. Next to the closet was a counter with a large mirror sitting on top. The room felt so dull. Bright stars shined in through the window, being my only light source.

Ignoring the vacant room, I got up, making my way towards the door. With quiet footsteps I exited the room into the empty hallway. I guided my legs from memory of earlier today.

Quietly heading down the steps I heard distant voices. It sounded like the tv was on.

"au- uh hello..?" I asked out in a groggy voice waiting for an answer. "N/n?" A familiar voice whispered in response. I headed to where the noise came from.

"You look like shit" "Thanks" I replied getting closer to the female. "Do you have water?" I timidly asked.

"Yeah there should be some cold in the fridge and room depetured in the pantry over there" Mercy mumbled back without tearing her eyes from the large screen. "Thanks" "Mhm"

Silently I made my way over to the fridge, pulling out a cold fresh bottle of water. After taking a satisfying sip, it felt like I hear my throat thanking me for hydrating it. I could be goin' crazy but its finee.

I accidentally let my thoughts trail on its own, wondering how im going to keep my apartment. But how could they? Shouldn't this be against company policy. I was using off days that were givin' to me, company probably didn't want to 'waste money' paying someone who wasn't working. Cheap ass mall. They couldn't even pay on time yet would cut our pay any chance they got.

All those angered thoughts lead me to wonder if Mercy found anything. What if they did but it was some shitty job. Yet I could move here with my best friend. We've always lived near each other, never wanting to separate. But the problem is this city. The distant yet unforgettable memories I have with this place.

I wasn't prepared for this trip, me being here was just on impulse. I needed to be here with my best friend on their special day. My problems didn't matter, Mercy is always first. Yet again now I wish I would've stayed back. I feel selfish for it, my stomach twisted in tight knots. I couldn't help it but regret this.

"Y/N!" "Ye-?" My reply was cut off by a pillow slamming onto my face. Puff I huff turning my head towards Mercy, giving them an annoyed look.

"Sorry but ive been calling you for a while!" Mercy explained with a hushed tone. "Oh sorry I spaced out. Did you need something?" I blinked away the tears that threatened to fall. "There was a job ad on the tv! You missed it"

"Oh I'll just wait for it to replay" I made my way to the couch, taking a seat next to Mercy."Okay, you good? You were standing there staring at the floor for quite a while."

"Im fine just got distracted" "By the floor?" Mercy asked confused. "Yes."

We've been sitting here watching the random shows and ads the popped up for about an hour now, being too lazy to scroll to look for something we'd actually like to watch.

I had stopped paying attention a while ago, my eyes had begun to feel droopy and my body tired. It made me realize I sleep a lot, but who cares? Solves all my problems. Just relax and not give a care in the world.
