Steph's POV:
The sound of the alarm blared throughout the quiet room, blistering my
eardrums with the awful noise. I reach for my iPhone and try my best to shut it off while still being half asleep. I turned over and stared at the ceiling for about 10 minutes.

It was a typical Saturday morning, and I had work... I mean don't get me wrong I loved my job at Hot Topic but why does my shift have to include Saturday's.
-
I groaned as I began to lift myself up out of bed. "This is the worst..." I mumbled under my breath and headed toward the kitchen. The house was partially light due to the closed drapes with streaks of sunshine leaking through the gaps. As I stepped into the kitchen with a yawn, my cat Pepa was sitting on the table waiting for me. She stood up and waited at the edge of the table, with wide eyes and tail slowly swaying side to side. I smiled and walked over to the edge of the table she was standing on and she meowed at me. I pet her head softly "I know, I know... " I paused and walked over to the cabinets, specifically the one labeled "Pepa's" due to all her items being stored in there. "...Time for breakfast"
-
I continued and opened the container of cat food and scooped up a cup. Then poured the food into her bowl and placed the scooper back beside the food container, then closing the cabinet. I stood up and cracked my back which followed with other various pains... I'm like an old lady. As I hobbled toward the sink filling Pepa's bowl with water, I placed it beside her filled food bowl and began to head toward the fridge to feed myself. After giving her food and water she purred and hopped down from the table, enjoying her breakfast. As she was having the time of her life eating, I was over here starving. "Ugh... What am I going to make " I sighed aloud as I scavenged for a meal to eat without having to use too much effort because this is about one of the various times of a bad case of being lazy.
-
"I guess in order to eat, I will need some sort of effort" I groaned and grabbed bread, peanut butter , and jelly. I made myself a PB&J sandwich and quickly ate it with a cup of milk to wash down the large amounts of stickiness. After I cleaned up after the mess I made, I ran to the bathroom. I took a shower, washed up and such, did my hair, and took care of my facial stuff. As I looked at myself in the mirror I shrugged and decided 'who cares, at least I look somewhat presentable.'
-
My footsteps echoed through the hallway as I raced to my room and opened my closet. It was mostly filled with black, white or grey clothing and then a dedicated spot for my beloved band clothing from Hot Topic, I mostly wear this section of clothing to work. I grabbed my black and white Black Veil Brides T-Shirt along with black skinny jeans, black vans socks and black/white vans. I put my small black gauges in, my most prized necklace that I wear everywhere, my brother had given it to me before he left for Afghanistan and to top the outfit off I wore an all black beanie.
-
As I looked at the clock I had 30 minutes to be out of the house and at Hot Topic. "AISH!" I ran to my phone as I practically ripped it off the charger, I grabbed my car keys, pet Peps before I darted out of the house and locked the front door.
-
I made it to work with 5 minutes to spare, I was out of breath due to all of that uncalled running I did this morning. I leaned against the counter after I signed in with everyone. I looked around and smiled "At least it's slow right now" there were no customers in the store until I had said that, after that customers rolled in like tumbleweed for the rest of the day.
-
Finally my shift was over "Ugh... I jinxed it earlier, I'm so exhausted now " I complained to my fellow co-workers but they didn't seem to care much. I checked out with everyone and headed to my car as I drove home. It was around 9:30pm and I was heading down my street as I'm listening to Black Veil Brides "In The End" when I see a little figure on the side of the road. It looked like a cat but I wasn't too sure, so I stopped the car making sure no car was coming but like usual there wasn't, because my road was like a dead end. I grabbed my iPhone and turned on the flashlight that is installed on it and I look towards the figure while still staying in my car. 'It is a cat!' I hopped out of my car and slowly made my way to the cat that was facing a different direction until it heard me and turned around. The cat looked just like Pepa so I knelt down as he crawled into my lap and meowed. 'So cute!' I pet him softly and carried him to my car "I'll get you all taken care of!" I smiled at the cat and placed him in the passenger seat as I buckled him and myself up.

12:48am
I made it home and greeted the cats. I put all of Pepa's necessities in her special cabinet and assorted the other cat's bed beside Pepa's in my room. Before I went upstairs to do that, I set up a litter box for him. Exhausted from this long day I rolled into bed after taking care of the cats "let's hope tomorrow is a good day... good thing tomorrow is a saturday so I can somewhat relax." and with that being said I knocked out within 2 minutes.
