A Beautiful Day

"...if it's change you fear then it is change you'll get."

Beep, Beep, Beep
Robert awakes to the ear ringing sound of his mobile alarm. What was once a blur has now formed itself into a dorm.
Robert has woken up to his dorm. He rises from his bed to find his girlfriend missing and a pizza box with half of the pizzas left. He remembered his 1 year anniversary that he had celebrated with Victoria yesterday - with pizza and some beers then of course some violent sex, that's usually what Victoria enjoys most. He turns on the TV only to find the news on - he didn't have cable so the news had been pretty much all he had.

Morning to everyone, clear skies seem to be on the horizon for the afternoon today, the sun is out and is at its brightest in months. It seems today is shaping up to be a beautiful day.

Robert pierces outside his window to find the sun is brighter than usual, today did look like it was going to be a beautiful day.

Work Work Work Work Work

Roberts phone rings. He picks it up and answers.

"Robert! Robert!" Sydney yells

"What?! What?!" Robert replies in the same tone

"Where the hell have you been?"

"What're you talking about?" Robert responds

"Rob you fucking... I knew it"

"Sydney relax, why're you so mad?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe because an asshole told me yesterday that he was going to rehearse my speech with me tomorrow at 10 o' fucking clock in the goddamn morning because my stupid fucking speech was at 1 in the afternoon, however it's 11 Fucking 30 o'clock and that asshole still isn't here and oh boy did I call his phone, 15 fucking times and guess what - he didn't answer"

           "OH SHIT!" Sydney I'm so sorry, I guess I overslept

"OH REALLY?!"

"God, Syd I'm so sorry, really I am. I'll be with you in 20 mins I promise"

"Forget it, Vicky showed up like 10 minutes ago, I'm running through it with her - anyways heard you two had a real cute night together"

"Sydney seriously, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stand you up, last night was so crazy that... I mean, my eyes finally shut at like 5:30am"

"I honestly don't give a fuck at this point, it's too late to do anything about it, just make sure you and everyone else are ready for the party - let's hope you don't oversleep and miss that one too"

"Haha very funny Syd"

"Fuck you - and have a nice day"

Sydney has ended the call. Rob holds his head in shame for standing up one of his closest friends. He soon proceeds to call the others.
