As soon as I enter the house I check on my mum making sure she's asleep before I go into the kitchen and search for alcoholic drinks. Once I'm done I go to the bathroom and so on until I checked all the small rooms in our apartment.
I throw them all out, knowing the price for my actions.
After that I get ready for work as usual and hurry up before I'll be late.

"Sort this and then you can have a break." Mr. Archer said smiling at me.
He's been acting weird lately, overly nice for some reason. He just asked me earlier to have lunch with him after work to talk about some stuff and I hoped it was a raise because I desperately needed the money. If you ask me I think he knows I need the extra money, I'm the only worker that doesn't come with a different suit everyday of the week. Kinda hard to miss.
As I finish my job my phone pops with a new massage from Dan. I started calling him that since I had a hard time remembering his first name. Dan is all Taylor ever called him anyway so it was easier to remember.
"Movie night my house at 11."
I knew I had to say no since I had work to go to first thing in the morning and it made me feel bad. It really sucks to never get to have fun.
The end of the work day comes faster than usual and Mr. Archer tells me to wait for him downstairs at the lobby. As I wait in wondering what was he going to tell me, but not for long because soon he was downstairs as well holding his car keys.
"Come," he says fast walking into his fancy car and I get in awkwardly daring to ask him where to.
"You'll see."
This was getting too weird.
Soon he parks in front of a nice looking restaurant and we both get out of the car and sit at a table for two.
What happened next felt more like a dream.
