"Wake... up..." A voice resonates in my head. "Wake up..." The voice seems to be growing nearer. "Wake up." I could now clearly hear the once distant voice. I open my eyes and see the ceiling of my room, I struggle to get up first so I lay there starring at the ceiling, I start to wonder who or what that voice was. I eventually fling the covers off and then proceed to get up, I stand and turn to my mirror on the wall and then start to sort my bed hair out, once I finish I look at my watch. "Oh bollocks I'm gonna be late, why did no one wake me!" I say to myself as my mind starts to kick in. I rush to get my uniform on. Once I'm changed I scurry down my ladder, leading to the spare room, and then down the stairs. Then I attempt to make some toast... well if you can call it that, it was completely blackened and burnt. "How the hell did I fuck up making toast." I mutter while eating the 'toast'. A sudden thought crosses my mind. "I wonder if I'm gonna get yelled at for being late... again." After finishing that thought and 'toast' I grab my phone,wallet and keys, I get up and walk out the house and lock it
As I sprint up the road I start to wander again about that mysterious voice earlier, my thoughts were interrupted as I turned the corner just to be knocked on the floor. "Hey watch were your goin-" My sentence was halted as, to my surprise, it was my mate and co-worker Ishmael, who I call Ish cause it's easier, standing there with a smile on his face. "No change their." I thought as I smirked back at him. He lent out his hand, I grabbed it as he pulled me up from the floor. "What are you doing here Ish, I thought you were staying round Gelly's place?" I asked. Ish looked down and sighed. "What happened this time?" I let out a small sigh.
"Well we sorta got in a disagreement about some stuff and it eventually resulted into a argument... so she kicked me out." He answered back. "Ish come on this is the THIRD time this week!" I retorted back. "Ish if you don't wanna get kicked out again, end it." I said bluntly.
"I know that would be the best choice, but I love her and nothing's gonna change that!" He snaps back. I give him a proud smile and a nod. "Well if that's how you feel go back to her and make things right, that's what your best at right?" I replied back at him. After a few minutes we calm down. Then the realization hits. "Oh shit! Ish we're late for work!" I say with a panicked voice, Ish' eyes widen with shock."Come on I parked my car just up the road!" He says with a slightly reassured tone.
We quickly rush up the steep road and get in the car, when Ish finally starts the vehicle up and makes a sharp turn, and then he hits the accelerator and we speed off down the long road. I decided to use this as an opportunity to think about what happened earlier. "Who the hell was that? My sister and mum were still fast asleep so couldn't have been them. So who, who was it? The voice felt familiar... but at the same time it didn't. Hmm well I at least know it was definitely a female. Ah well guess I'll try find out later." After having thought about who the mystery person might be, I realize that we stopped, Ish gets out then I follow after. "Hurry up we're already late as it is!" Ish says with a slightly irritated voice, I jog over and then stand next to him we both look and stair at the overwhelming building. "How the hell did we both get a job as security here." I exclaim in awe.
"Yeah it's amazing, I wouldn't have pictured us working at Parliament."

"AHH! This is the sixth time this month that you two have been late for work! Ugh, I'm gonna get a migraine if I have to deal with you and your ridiculous excuses. Get out of my sight!"
"Yes sir!" Me and Ish say in synchronization. Me and Ish walk out the office in a calm and orderly fashion, and so as we close the door we take one look at each other and let out a sigh of relief. " I thought we were goners for a second back there." I say with a shaky tone. " Yeah, remind me next time not to be late." Ish retorts, also with a shaken voice. The head of security, A.K.A our boss, has always been harsh on me and Ish for some reason, we've always wondered but never really bothered to ask because it started to become natural after five years of working under him.
Ish takes a deep breath and then proceeds to sort out his security uniform, he turns to me and says. "Come on mate we need to get to our posts, remember that there's a important meeting between the Prime Minister and the President of America today." Ish gives a worrying grin, which is then followed up by. "You wouldn't want to disappoint her would you now." As soon as Ish said that I instantly knew what he was talking about.
