I stare up at the ceiling for hours on end. It's now 5 am and I have to wake up at 6. No point trying to sleep now. I role out of bed and figure out my schedule for the day. Seeing as that is am running a lot today, I chose my professional walking shoes, a nice blazer, and black dress pants. Grabbing my phone I put on my hip hop playlist and hop into the shower. I stand under the hot water for over 20 mins just letting it run down my back and scald my skin. I finally wash my hair and body. Grabbing my blue fuzzy towel I shut off the water, wrapping the towel around me, grabbing another towel so I could wrap my hair. I began walking to my room, well I had forgotten to turn on lights and end up tripping down the stairs. Every!single!one! Finally reaching the bottom of the stairs and sit frozen for about ten minutes. I try to get up, using all my strength I get up. Managing to walk over to the wall before I collapse. Sliding my body against the wall all the way down, hitting every bruise that now exists on my pale fragile body. My phone flashes and flashes, as soon as I realize it is my boss calling, I try to crawl over to the phone as soon as possible..... Finally reaching it I see a hundred missed calls, all from my boss. Screaming fuck internally as I look at the time, its 8 am. I was supposed to be at work an hour ago! I quickly call my boss back.
The first thing I hear was "MS.TAYLOR WHERE ARE YOU? YOU ARE OVER AN HOUR LATE! I EXPECT YOU TO BE HERE WITHIN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES! Is that understood?" he says in a very stern voice.
I manage to get up enough strength to say. "Sir, I've had an accident, there are many bruises and I cannot walk, I barely had enough strength to reach the phone and actually speak"
He yells back "ONE WEEK GRANGER! ONE WEEK!" and hangs up the phone.
Tears running down my face I call 911. They ask what happened and I say that I fell down a flight of stairs and I'm covered in bruises and my body hurts, hurts to the point that I barely had the strength to call and that I can barely move. They tell me they will send someone out as soon as possible. I just lay on the floor crying till they come. If I move everything in my body hurts and I have a very low pain tolerance. They finally arrive, put me in the back of an ambulance and drive off to the hospital. Once in the hospital the doctor comes and talks to me saying they are going to take x-rays and examine my bruises and body. To see how bad the damage is. Thirty minutes to an hour goes by, nothing happens. The doctor comes back in asking if I have any family to call or anything.Seeing as I have no one to call or that even cares about me I causally say no. Looking at me with a puzzled look I'm given the news that......................
