Another Work Day

That morning I woke up late, as usual. I never could get to sleep easily. I rushed around the house forgetting one thing after the other. I finally made it to work, I hated this place. Although, I couldn't really complain if I wasn't willing to quit this job and get another one.
   I walked through the automatic opening doors and forced myself into a cramped elevator. By the time I finally made it to my desk I could already hear my boss yelling my name. "Y/L/N!" I signed and made my way over to his office, I shut the door and sat down. " Ms. y/l/n, are you aware that this is the 6th time this month you have been late?" He said in a serious tone. Are you aware that I don't give a shit? I'm fucking exhausted, I said mentally. "Yes sir." He then asked why I was always late, why it was a continuous problem. Why is your face a continuous problem? Why am I so childish. Oh well, I humor myself. " If you can't get your act together by the end of the month, then you're out of here." He stood and walked to his filing cabinet, obviously done speaking to me.
   I walked out the office and heard the murmurs already starting. "What's wrong with her." "She's just a lazy asshole trying to take our money." "She needs to see a fucking doctor about her issues." "I've heard so many rumors." "Thank god my mother sent me to a different school, I almost had to grow up with that."
   This was not new to me, I heard these things as a child and now as an adult. My problem, was defiantly something. I could see things, talk to them, touch them, hear them. Maybe I was just crazy, but I could see the dark auroras radiating off of every person in the building I could lay my eyes on. I could see their hate for me, their anger, I don't know what I did wrong. I can't help that I was born this way.
   Oh well, this is going to be a long day.
*Time skip* (sorry if it seems lazy )
By the time my shift was over the sun was setting, I sat by my car looking through my bag for my keys. I didn't carry a purse just a simple satchel. I was almost to the point where I was going to dump everything out until they fell out of my pocket.  Sometimes I'm a complete idiot. 
   I started my car and drove home, but  of course the damn red light had to stop my green streak. 
   I looked at my surroundings and saw a man with a little boy.  A dark aurora was all I could see of this man, but I knew only I could.  The little boy looked confused, lost, and scared.  Surprisingly, there was much more people out than expected.  I got out of my car, right in the middle of the road and made my way towards the boy.  When I was able to catch up I grabbed his hand. 
   The man stared me down " What the hell are you doing to my son!" He yelled, people were watching us. " He's not your son, " I tugged on the boys sleeve and he tried to move closer to me. The man however pulled him back " Are you telling me I don't know my own fucking son! " He raised his voice and the boy jumped, tears streamed down his face.  I wiped away his tears and said in a really sweet voice "Is this your dad honey?" He looked at me, then the man, and then looked down and ever so lightly, he shook his head. "He's such a joker." The man started to panic. "Do you know this mans name." I asked the boy, he looked into my eyes a whispered a no. "How did this man get you?" "He said he would give me candy, and said he would help me find my mommy."
   The boy started to pull onto my arm, everyone was still looking at us. The man however was backing away and soon running. Someone must have called the police, because he was soon pinned down by two officers. 
   They found the boy's mother, and she hugged me, she cried and thanked me so much for finding her little boy.  That woman, and that boy, were the first two people besides my mother that had ever looked comfortable around me. They did not feel sorry for me, they weren't afraid. They looked praiseworthy if anything.  Eventually I remembered my car and I apologized to the people behind me. 
   I drove home and collapsed onto my bed. I was shocked, and exhausted.  My eyelids felt heavy, and I fell asleep easily, for the first time in my life.
