Perils Of Missing A Goodbye.

| C H A P T E R O N E |

CHAPTER ONE : STAY SANE.

Some things,special things in life just happens.

They just do.
At the time we least expect them to.That's why they are usually either a curse or a blessing.

I couldn't figure out which of the two it was at that time.

15th May 2012,was one of those special things;special days.

The day all I could do was let myself cry,
Tear after tear soaking into the fabric of my school sweater,
completely oblivious of my surrounding.
Not even the calming voice of my friend,my dear friend,
Did I hear.

It was almost as if it was meant to happen.
Our seperation unlike most had no goodbye.

That was the last day of a forgotten timeline of my life which I chose to forget to do justice to him.

But I was wrong.
Like I thought.

So to say in short,
I considered That day a curse.
Because six years from then, it's year 2018 and I never missed someone more.

And like those special things that happen at the time we least expect them to I took a decision that I least expected I would.
The life I had paused 6 years ago I decided to spring back to,to continue, because deep inside me I just needed to find him.
Not quite sure why ,but I had to.

So that's where my decision to move back to Park Country came from.
Not the smartest decision really.
Considering my situation at work.
Oh wait I mean hell.

I can't exactly say I had fulfilled my dreams yet even if I had my dream job. Because even dream jobs can be one heck of a nightmare when you are as young as 22 years old among a group of co-workers who were an average age of 43.

Which reminds me,
Work.

Which also means I had to make myself look presentable at 05:00 in the morning.
After a tiring nightshift at work I was not the only one yearning for more sleep.

My friend Elara,who occupied the far end of our shared studio snored on in peace.

I quite envied her.

At least she had deep sleep.I've been REM sleeping for an entire week.

I reluctantly got up,dragging myself to the washroom.
I turned to the mirror to brush my teeth but instead, I fell asleep.

While standing

Knock!

I woke up with a jolt and continued sluggishly moving the toothbrush across my teeth,trying to keep my eyes at least half open when someone knocked again.

"What!?" I impatiently called out to whoever was on the other side.

"Nothing! Just making sure you are alive! I honestly don't think I can explain the police how a 22 year old managed to kill herself with a toothbrush!" Elara's voice replied.

I rolled my eyes.
Why is she so dramatic this early in the morning?

I shrugged and continued to do my work since I was wide awake now thanks to El.

I managed to pull myself together and clean up in 25 minutes.

I could smell the inviting aroma of greasy bacon being fried as I stepped out of the washroom drying my hair,
And made my way to the kitchen,where Elara was almost done making an early breakfast for the two of us.

She's fast alright.

I couldn't pin her as a morning or night person.
She was nothing like me, who was never and will never be a morning person.

Her body clock was just plain weird.
Like now, she woke up 15 minutes after I did and was much livelier than I'll ever be at 05:00 in the morning and other times she'd stay up till 03:00 to study and the next day I almost certainly wake up screaming because she took pride in being the only one who could scare me early in the morning.

Honestly who wouldn't loose their shit if they saw a googly-eyed face staring intensely at them like a clown first thing when they wake up!?

Yes,I confirm,definitely weird.

That was maybe why we clicked. She was the perfect roommate.
The two of us were a combination of random weirdness from two opposite poles.

And work.

My life was okay for the last 6 years but ever since I came back to Park Country, I'm not sure what life was anymore other than a repeating,never ending cycle of work,meals, sleep and nightshifts.

I came back a few months ago but till today,never got a day off and plus too many nightshifts.

I never thought I'd say this but,
It sucks to be young sometimes.

I almost regretted my decision coming back but I came for a reason.
The problem is, I'm not sure if I'll be alive to fulfil it.

Damn my job.
