Friday

I woke up at exactly 4 am not knowing why, but I shrug it off and head to the bathroom to get ready. After putting on my outfit for work I went to the kitchen and had breakfast before leaving my apartment and leaving for work. At work I met my best friend and office partner, Leyla.

Leyla: Hey Sab.

Sabrina: Hi Le, How are you?

Leyla: Great.

Sabrina: Really?

Leyla: I just got this promotion at my other job and now I've gotten a new place actually I own It.

Sabrina: Wow!

Leyla: And get this my boyfriend Proposed to me.

Sabrina: That's amazing news.

Leyla: I know. How about you?

Sabrina: Well I still live in my cramped up apartment, I'm still waiting for my pay and my boyfriend just broke up with me last week over text.

Leyla: That's sad. You know what You're gonna leave that apartment and quit your job.

Sabrina: Why would I do that?

Leyla: Cause you're going to come live with me.

Sabrina: I can't do that.

Leyla: You can we have so much room and I don't think Jake would mind.

Sabrina: Even if I did I wouldn't have any money to pay rent cause you suggest I quit my job.

Leyla: Don't worry I've got that covered. The other place I work at pays nicely and they're hiring.

Sabrina: I'm still not sure.

Leyla: Think about, I give you the whole weekend to do so.

Sabrina: Sure, Thanks.

Leyla: No problem, That's what best friends are for.

Saturday

Sabrina: You know what I've thought about and I don't see anything wrong with it so I guess I'll tell Leyla about my decision.

Two weeks later

Leyla: Oh no I forgot to get the milk.

Sabrina: Don't worry I'll go get it.

Leyla: Nah It's fine I'll go plus I still need get a few extra steps in.

Sabrina: Sure.

Leyla: Cool, Jake will be back in about 5 minutes, just tell him I'll be back soon.

Sabrina: Ok.

Leyla: Be back soon.

Jake: Leyla I'm back.

Sabrina: Leyla isn't here, she'll be back in a few.

Jake: Really? *Moves closer to her*

Jake: Nothing.

Sabrina: Jake did you drink?

Sabrina: Maybe.

Jake: She doesn't have to find out.

Sabrina: Jake, no please I...

Leyla: I'm ba... what is going on?

Sabrina: Leyla It's not what you think.

Leyla: It's not. If It's not, then why do I see you with him.

Sabrina: Leyla, look he pushed himself on me.

Leyla: Yeah, right.

Sabrina: I am your best friend and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.

Leyla: You know I finally get why you decided to move in with me. You wanted Jake all for yourself.

Sabrina: What no ley I would..

Leyla: Never, Yeah . That's what they all say. I want you out now.

Sabrina: *Crying*  Ley please have no where else to go, please.

And That's how my life went from having a job and shelter and clothes and a loving best friend To being unemployed, having no shelter or clothes or even food and having an enemy who loved me, all because of a decision I thought would help me out, Had I Known.
