Chapter 17: A Day Without You

Chapter 17: A Day Without You

The next morning, I wake up drowsily, my legs feel numb and I realise it's December 9th already.

I sit up on my bed and rub my eyes, it wasn't very cold inside the house, it actually felt very warm and cozzy. The sun was nowhere to be found as winter season started to set in. I take a glance at my alarm clock and it's already seven o'clock, two hours before work. Beside my alarm clock, a bright blue paper was folded up, I picked it up and carefully opened it.

Anthea,

Off to work! Help yourself to some pancakes, pulled them out of the oven before I left. They should still be hot. I left my car keys for you to use to get to work. I'll see you at lunch!

-Alex :)

I smiled and lazily stood up, walking over to the bathroom where I took a nice long shower. I changed into my work uniform right after. I glanced at the clock again, eight o'clock. I sped up my actions a bit and hurried to put on some makeup. I glanced at the clock again, eight fifteen. I sit down on my bed and squeeze into my skinny jeans and put on some black platform heels.

I grabbed the nearest bag to me, which was a purple shoulder bag, and stuffed it with all the things I might need.'

I hurried to put on a coat and then I marched down the stairs, grabbing a plate and a fork. I placed a hot pancake on my plate and put strawberry syrup, sugar, and butter on top of it, with all my might, I eat about three pancakes and I glance at the clock, It's already eight thirty, just in time for me to leave.

I pick up Alex's car keys and head out the door, making sure that I've locked it and I have a key. I enter Alex's old car and start up the engine, backing away from the driveway and making my way to the mall. On my way there, I pass the bakery Alex works in. My guess, Alex walked to work today.

I finally arrive at the mall and park the car. I walk patiently to my workplace and I see my boss opening the store. "Morning boss!" I say cheerily and my boss smiles at me "Good morning Anthea." She says pleasantly, opening the door. I entered after her and took my place behind the counter before putting away all my stuff.

"Here you go ma'am, have a Merry Christmas!" I smile as I hand the last customer her paper bag. I plop myself on the chair and sigh tiredly.

"Tired already?" My boss, Mrs. Abott, laughs. "Uh-huh." I sigh, placing a hand on my forehead. Cristabelle laughed, "Go on then. Bethany already left twenty minutes ago." Cristabelle smiled "Bethany is being a bitch and didn't wait for me. Her loss." I state matter-of-factly, shrugging.

Cristabelle pushes me out the door and hands me my stuff. "Go." She points to an exit and I smile, gathering my stuff.

"Bye Cris!" I exclaim and she returns it, waving at me. I find the car in the parking lot and drive back to mine and Alex's flat.

I park the car in the driveway and gather all the items in the back, walking up to the front door. Using my key, I open the door and shout "I'm home!" Placing my keys on the table in the living room.

"In the kitchen!" Alex shouts and I shout a quick "'Kay!" Before walking up the stairs and changing into my pyjamas. Soon after I joined Alex in the dining room and begin eating the dinner she had prepared.

It wasn't long before we were both tired and wanted to go to bed, so we said our 'goodbye's and talk seperate routes to our own rooms.
