Words are Words (Dan Smith - Bastille Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Dear Diary, I had an okay day today, I suppose. I've just got home from the book store after another day of hard work. I am going to bed because I'm exhausted.

Violet

I woke to the sound of my alarm, I obviously forgot to turn it off last night. I rolled over to switch the annoying noise off when I felt a sharp pain in my back, I turned around to find my diary open next to me. I must have gone to sleep so quickly last night, the evidence was written down in front of me. "I am going to bed because I'm exhausted."

Once I'd moved my diary and turned my alarm off I looked through my phone to see if there was any new emails or updates. Suddenly it bleeped in my hand making me jump, I wasn't expecting any texts this early, it had only just turned seven.

'One new message from Steve'

Great, that's all I need, my boss Steve. What did he want this early? I sighed and opened the message.

'Sorry to bother you Violet but we were wondering if it would be possible that you could come in to the store today, we are 2 staff down and it's a busy day. Let me know ASAP, Steve.'

I read the message over a couple of times contemplating whether or not to go. It was my day off, but I may as well have to, the people there will probably think less of me otherwise. Well, I guess I'm going to have to cancel my plans with Jake, I was supposed to be meeting him today typically. I'd only just woken up and I was already stressed.

Sure, I'll be there in about half an hour."

I texted back Steve. Now all I had to do was call Jake. It isn't supposed to be this hard to call your boyfriend, but Jake's different. He hates not getting his own way, which is good sometimes, but a disadvantage when it comes down to me because let's just say it doesn't always end well.

I let my actions take over my thoughts as I pressed dial. After a few minutes of trying, he obviously wasn't awake this early. Typical Jake. In the end I just decided to leave a message.

'Hi Jake, it's me. I'm really sorry but Steve has asked me to come in today, ughh annoying I know but I guess I'm going to have to. We can go out tomorrow ok? Ring me later, we need to talk. Bye.

I ended the call and threw my phone on the bed sheets next to me. I sighed and began to get up, wondering if I sounded too abrupt or angry on the phone. Should I ring him again and just cancel today? Stop over thinking things, I told myself. I always go over everything in my head, it's one of my flaws I guess.

I began to get ready for the day, I stepped in the shower and the water warmed up instantly. I could stay in here for hours if I had the time, but unfortunately not today. I shaved my legs quickly, I was already running a little late and I didn't want to waste any more time.

After I'd got dressed and done my hair and makeup I was ready to go. I grabbed my bag, locked the front door and started making my way down the street.
