Last Wish

"Jess! Jess!" I heard someone yelling my name faintly.
Am I dreaming?
Am I in heaven?

I suddenly heard a loud bang, it was my door crashing down to the floor, i turned around trying to see what was going on, I was barely conscious. I heard my mum gasp out of fear, no doubt scared because of the state I was in.

Disoriented, barely conscious and pills everywhere. Definitely not a good sight to behold. My uncle, Victor carefully lifts me off the floor and places me gently on my bed.

"Is she going to be okay?" I hear my dad ask.
"She will" Victor says pulling the sheets over my body. "She just needs time for the sedatives to wear off"

"Mum?" I said with a croaky voice. My mum was looking very sad.
"Promise me! Promise me you'll never do this again, it's your sister's birthday for heaven's sake. You shouldn't ever let what any body says get to you. Today was meant to be a happy day and don't even get me started on how hurt I feel that you would think we actually believe  you seduced your boss, so what if you lose one thousand jobs in a day, you have no right to make us worry like that, to make me worry like that" my mum said flicking away beads of tears from her chin
"I'm really sorry mum, I was just overwhelmed with so many emotions" I said faced down.
"It'll be fine Jess! Get some rest, I think we all need to give her space" My sister April said and with that everybody left my room leaving me to my own thoughts. I needed to think. I didn't understand where my life was headed and I needed to get things straight. I owed it to my family and everybody that genuinely cares about me.

---------------------

The next day was much more beautiful, I felt more alive than ever and I was definitely filled with more hope. I heard my phone ring from underneath my pillow and I rushed to see who it was, it was Selena.
"Baby what's up" she said
"What do you think, I'm a post suicidal person" I laughed
"Ohh yeah, I almost forgot, you almost killed us all yesterday, anyways I called to tell you that I found an ad online for the post of an assistant to the general manager of the marketing department of holpes and co."
"Wait! Aren't you going to try to get the job for yourself. Holpes and co is a big shoe company, the pay is good" I told her
"You definitely need it more than I do and not to worry, I'll pray for you, you won't lose this one. We just need to have our fingers crossed, it'll all turn out well" she said
Selena is a very religious person.
"Selena I love you so much, I don't know what I'd do without you, I'll get dressed now" I told her
"I booked at appointment for you for eleven in the morning. Don't be late! I love you! Bye baby" she told me and then hung up right after I said bye

I immediately rushed to my closet to pick out the outfit for the day, I decided to go for a blue dress and black flats, I had my bath and tied my blond hair into a bun, I applied powder and my favorite cherry flavored lip gloss. I said a little prayer. I needed to get this job and probably move out of my parent's house.

I hurried down the stairs kissing my mum and sister good morning without paying any attention to my step dad, Luke.
"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" My mum asked.
"No mum, I need to run" I yelled closing the door behind me.
"Be careful baby!" She yelled back.

-------------------

I arrived at Holpes and co. at exactly eleven fifty. I still had ten minutes to spare. There was a beautiful brunette at the desk. "Hey! I have an appointment by eleven" I told her. She looked up and smiled to me, her smile was beautiful. "Are you here for the job interview for the post of the assistant for the GM of marketing" she asked me.
"Oh yeah! How did you know?" I asked
"Beautiful young ladies like you have been coming in and out of here for the past three days, allow me to check the data base, your name please?"
"Jessica Anderson" I told her.
"Okay..." she said clicking some keys on her computer, she looked up to me and said
"Mr. Gareth  is waiting for you, he'll be handling the interview himself, third floor, first office on the left." she said smiling at me.
"Thank you"
"Good luck" she said smiling at me.
I nodded.
She sure smiles a lot, her face must hurt at the end of the day. I smiled to myself at that thought.

                           ---------------
I walked into the beautiful office slowly and to my surprise the man sitting there, my boss to be if I'm lucky was the man in a blue tuxedo that I snubbed in the gift shop. I am definitely dead. He appeared to be scribbling something down into a note pad. "Good morning" I said.
He looked up at me and there was a look I didn't quite understand on his face.
"Weren't you the girl from the store" he said, motioning with his hands for me to sit.
"Yes!" I simply stated.
He asked me questions about my school and job experiences and almost everything relating to the job.
"You have worked for a lot of places considering your age, how is that"
"I haven't been so lucky with jobs Mr. Gareth" I told him
" just Gareth"
"Okay" I said.
You'll receive an email later about your status.
"Thank you for your time" I said
He was an incredible good looking man about 6ft with a sharp jaw line and full beard. He was clad in a black tuxedo today.
"I'll walk you out" he offered. I felt butterflies in my stomach for an unknown reason.
I definitely cannot begin to fall for this man.

Hey lovelies!
Sorry for not being consistent.
School tied my hands.
I'll try to be as consistent as I can
Please be patient with me
Xoxo 😘💜💙
