Chapter 6: Secrets and relationships

You woke up to a bright and sunny morning. You had a really weird dream last night. It was about you and that new girl you met last night, Abbi, going skydiving. You were having a great time until you found out you didn't have a parachute and started panicking. You were falling to your doom until you felt two arms wrapping you from behind. You looked up, relieved, expecting to see the face of Abbi but being faced with Tom. You looked all around and didn't see Abbi anywhere. He then took his hands off you and let you fall, laughing hysterically as he did so. You screamed as you were heading towards the ground. You were almost there when all you saw was black. The dream ended. It was a weird dream but it probably meant nothing. Hopefully. You got out of bed and headed downstairs to get some breakfast and Dodge followed close behind.

You made yourself some eggs and bacon and prepared Dodge his doggy breakfast. You both started eating and you filled his water bowl after you finished your meal. You weren't sure what to do now that you were unemployed. You weren't even sure how to find a new job. Maybe you could ask some of your friends if where they worked had any job openings and decided you'd ask them later. You grabbed your keys, Dodge's leash and walked out the door, locking it behind you. Dodge jumped in the passenger seat and you, obviously, jumped in the driver's seat. You drove downtown in the city and parked your car on the side of the curb. You got out of the car and walked to the passenger door, letting Dodge get out and clipping his leash on his collar. You locked the car and started walking in the large city. You had on a dark blue t-shirt and light blue, blue jeans and had black All-stars on; feeling like you were rocking this outfit.

You went to a few stores, and surprisingly they let you bring Dodge in, even in a really expensive dress store. You didn't wear dresses much, usually only for fancy occasions, but sometimes you liked to go into those stores and try on dresses you knew you could never buy. There was this one dress you really liked and it made you look like you belonged in some kind of fantasy world. You looked at yourself in the mirror and you smiled. There were a few people looking at you weird, probably because you were just trying on dresses and not actually buying anything, but you didn't care. You twirled in it and took a picture of your reflection, just so you could remember it if you ever come back here. You went back into the dressing room and took the dress off. You hung it back up, smiled at the girl who was helping you and exited the store. 

Smiling and walking down the street, you see people in streets with briefcases and probably heading to work. Some looked like they weren't so happy about going, yet some looked like they were excited to go. You knew you could never work in an office again. It was boring, you were never happy, and almost no one liked you. It might not be that way with all offices but you couldn't handle how all offices were so boring. You just weren't fit for that kind of job. Maybe a job where you could express more creativity would be good for you. As you got to a crosswalk, you saw a familiar face across the street. It was Abbi. The light turned to that walking guy and you started walking towards her. She noticed you to but you couldn't stop in the middle of the street so you started walking the way she was going.

"Hey!" You said.

"Hi, how are you?" Abbi said and smiled brightly.

You smiled back. "I'm good, and you?"

"I'm doing just fine, thanks. So, where you headed?" 

"Well, I'm just taking a walk around town with Dodge here. What about you?" You patted Dodge on his head and he licked your hand.

"Well, I was about to go catch a movie. Wanna come?" 

"I would but what would I do with Dodge? Do they allow dogs in the theatre? I couldn't leave him in the car." You hoped they did cause you kind of were in the mood to see a movie but you didn't want to leave Dodge alone in a car. Which is probably illegal. (It is illegal right?)
