''Hey, where you going?''

'' Oh, just going out with a friend of mine.''

It's been a week now. Julian have been a pal, and let me stay in his guest room. He even gave me a job as a bar tender in his bar until I could afford my own apartment.

So that's where I am now. Sitting on my bed, in the small guestroom, getting ready to start another day.

'Another day.
Another 24 hours alive.
Another breath...
Woaw... This is gonna be a rough day...'

I whispered to myself. It felt like my head was going explode with emotions. The only thing I wanted was getting dressed, go and finish my shift at the bar and then go up and relax.

But its like, my body wouldn't let me. Even though I had taken my pills that was supposted to help me with my depression and anxiety.. I didn't help.

'You can't, remember? Remember what people think of you. Everytime a stranger see you the give you the look of disgust. You can't let that happen anymore, do you understand?'

My own voice rang out. I was paralyzed. I literally didn't let myself do anything. What was it?

Anxiety?
Depression?
Or just plain sadness?
I didn't know.
And to be honest, it was scaring me.
A sound of a eletrical guitar and drums made me snap out of my mind. I looked over at my bedside table to see my phone light up.

''I'm not okay!

I'm not ooo-ookay!
I'm not ooo-okay!

You wear me oo-oooout!!''

I'm not okay (I promise) by My Chemical Romance began ringing out.
'Jack's ringtone..' I thought to myself. I got my shit together and reached out for my phone.
A picture of Jack wearing a fake leather jacket and the same beanie as the first night we met. His hair was more lime green since it was an older picture of him. He sended me this about 4 days ago.

This week has gone by so fast. Me and Jack had been talking a lot. The first time I called him we talked for about two hours straight!
I mentioned him calling me cute. He just laughed and said-
''Man, 'm sorry, it must have been the alcohol talking ya' know?''
Julian did tell me that he was bisexual though...
Maybe I DID have a chance...
Wait what?! What am I talking about?! I don't have FEELINGS for a guy I just met a week ago! That's crazy!

That's... Insane!
That's stupid!
That's.. Weird...
Yeah... Weird...

I snapped out of my own thoughts again as the phone suddenly stopped ringing.
''Wai-what!?'' I said to myself, I completely forgot about the friggin' phone.

I quickly swiped over the notifacation that said ''One missed call from Jack.''

''Hey!'' Jack's high pitched voice rang out.
''Hey, heheh, sorry for not picking up the first time. I was getting dressed.'' I lied trying to sound happier than what I actually was.
''It's cool dude, but hey! We should hang out today! You free?''
''N-uh-ye-I mean, I have to be here and clean up until 4 PM so yeah?'' I explained. Of course he had to want to hang out on my busy day.

''It's cool! Hm...'' He said and began humming, like if he was thinking.
''Dude, I think I should go no-''
''Dude! Can't I just come and keep you company in the bar?'' Jack asked.

I was kind of surprised. I didn't expect him to want to waste his whole day on.. Me.

''Sure.. I guess, if you really wanna waste your whole sunday on me then yeah.''
''I'm not gonna waste it! I'll be with you! It's always a pleassure being around you!'' He said and laughed. Oh god. His laugh, it's so.. so...
''I'll be there in thirty minutes! So get ready, I kind of have a feeling that you wasn't getting dressed before you called back..'' Jack laughed. How did he know?
''Haha, sneaky bastard. Yeah, I'll see you soon then.'' I replied trying to sound cool.
''Heh, yeah! See ya!''

He ended the call.

It was almost 4 PM. Jack and I was getting getting ready to go out. We were going to go to his place to play videogames and chill. (No, not netflix and chill, STOP IT RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!)

He apparently had a room mate. Mark. He sounded like a pretty swell guy.

''So, ready to go?'' Jack asked when the clock hit 4. He took his leather jacket that was almost falling off one of the bar seats.

''Sure, give me a second, I'm gonna go grab my phone upstairs.'' I said and walked towards the stairs.

I walked into my room and began seaching for my phone.
It laid in the middle of my bed. The [F/C] bedsheets made it fall down a little. I quickly grabbed it and took my [F/C] converse on, and then my jacket, and went out in the small hallway leading down to the stairs down to the bar. I locket my door with a key Julian have given me.
I was about to go downstairs when.
''Hey, where you going?'' Cecilies sweet voice rang out.
''Oh, just going out with a friend of mine.'' I said and sended them a reassuring smile.

''Good, did you clean up in the bar?''
''Me and Jack have been down there cleaning up since 1 PM 'Ma'am.' '' I said the 'Ma'am' part just to annoy her. She hated being called by such formal pronouns by her friends.

''Ffffuuuuuucckkkk yoooouuuu...'' They whispered and bucked down a little giving me the middle finger.

I stuck my tounge out giving her the finger back. We both chuckled a little.

''Well, I have to go, see ya!'' I said and went downstairs.
