I rushed downstairs in a vest and underwear as I heard a knock at the door, I was makeupless and had wet hair. I had sold all the stuff I got for the car boot on eBay as I fell out with Harvey so I had enough money to keep the house going till I began work. Obviously couldn't live at Harvey's!
I opened the door a crack and peered out, my smiled turned to a frown when I saw who it was.
"Can I come in we need to talk." I left the door ajar and walked into the living room.
"What do you want Harvey?" I asked. He had seen me in my underwear and crop top before so he wasn't shocked by it.
"You've been really distant with me, what did I do?" I choked a little when i laughed at this comment.
"You kissed another girl."
"We weren't dating! Why are you mad?"
"I know we weren't but I thought you liked me because I sure as hell liked you" I rolled my eyes.
"You did? I didn't think you liked me like that. Do you still like me like that?" He asked. I was about to answer when I heard footsteps.
"Who was at the door?" I heard Nathan ask walking into the room in his boxers and a shirt. His jaw tightened when he saw Harvey "what's he doing here?"
"More importantly what are you doing here?" Harvey asked. I just wanted to disappear.
"Nathan stayed the night Harvey, is that a problem?" I said, there was a hint of sadness in Harvey's eyes when I said this.
"What are you two together or something" he scoffed
"As a matter of fact we are" Nathan said.
"I thought you had standards" Harvey said to me
"I do, I thought you did..." I replied. Nathan was getting angry, he walked up to Harvey and punched him straight in the stomach. "I think you should go harvey" I said opening the front door. Harvey walked out of it and Nathan slammed the door. He hugged me.
"I'm sorry" he said, I hugged him back trying not to be hurt by what happened.

I start my job tonight (*cries*) I walk up to the bar and they hand me a name tag, apron and note pad for the orders.
After a solid hour of running back and forth with drinks and the occasional ass slap I'd had enough. I carried on working, finished the shift and got the money then quit. I have to have a better job then that. It's too hectic. My anxiety starts acting up so I go out back to compose myself.
"What are you doing?" I heard a deep croaky voice shout from behind me.
"Huh?" I jumped back to see my boss stood there. "I'm sorry, it just got a bit much for me." His frown lifted after a minute and he held out his arms. I ran and hugged him.
"There there, take a deep breath and relax. The rush hour is almost over." I smiled then went back in to carry on with my shift.

Once my shift was over I got the bus home and ate some left over pizza from yesterday. I was falling asleep to the TV when I got a text..
Nathan: I'm coming over :D see you in 5 N
I smiled at this. My house was a mess, I ran around throwing away rubbish and straightening pillows. I lit a few candles and put the fire on, the TV was on quite quiet but loud enough to hear and got back on the sofa as if I'd been sat there the whole time.
"You've cleaned" was the first thing Nathan said as he walked through the door. I smiled and so did he. I patted the sofa next to me. He walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a wool blanket before snuggling in next to me and watching a movie.
