A Series Of Inconvenient Events And How I Survived Them

chapter one

My fingers hurt from typing so much and by this time I had the glanced at the time so much, there wasn't any use and I already knew how many more minutes i had until I could leave this hell. My vacation was so close. Literally seconds away. But they couldn't ever seem to pass quick enough. It was like time was getting slower as it went on and it wasn't helping I was doing such tedious computer work at the moment. When I pictured adulthood it was all fun and games. Nothing stood in my way and I thought I was ready to spend the rest of my life in my office. But I wasn't. And I don't think I ever will be. I felt like I will go crazy here. It feeds and houses me so it's not like I have a choice either. You never truly understand the value of childhood until you aren't a child anymore.

I glance again at the clock after getting lost in thought to see my shift is over. Stress is lifted and I let the breath I've been holding in for months now out, my shoulders relaxing. Shoving everything away quickly, I head out the giant corporation doors with a smile on my face for the first time in a while. Noticing it was dark, I pulled out my umbrella expecting rain and kept walking. Halfway to the bus stop, an angel catches my eye. My current boyfriend. People say young couples don't really know love but I'm pretty sure I love him enough to prove them wrong.

Time stops as he smiles and his eyes almost shut. His soft black hair swept over his forehead and was pressed down by the grey hoodie he was wearing. I love that outfit. The black jeans and grey hoodie killed me. I bought the hoodie for him too so it made me feel even happier. I remembered the moment he opened it.

He unwrapped the vivid red ribbon still smiling. It slipped from it's knot as the top of the box was lifted by him gently. He gasped dramatically and pulled the hoodie out quickly, smiling with a glimmer in his eyes.

" This is so cute. Do you have one too? It says prince, but every prince needs a princess." He motioned to my box slipping it on. It was our three year anniversary and we were exchanging gifts after a healthy nutritious dinner of ramen and pizza.

I was curious, so I reached for it and opened it hastily. Inside, a matching sweater with the word " Princess" printed on it. I almost cried, thinking he hadn't gotten it. I was hinting it all month and I was hoping but I didn't think he caught on. If he didn't it would've made me look a little weird don't you think.

" I love you~" He smiled pressing a peck to my lips then crushing me in a hug.

-

These moments really made me fall in love with him even more. He was what I needed now, especially after work. I was confused after he walked by me not even glancing. Maybe he was teasing? I got new glasses, but he should've been used to them. I've had them for a week already. He knew he was supposed to meet me halfway, so why did he not even try to look for me? He wasn't paying attention to the crowd but he looked straight ahead as if he was sure of somewhere he was going. And it wasn't to me.

I turned and followed him quietly to surprise him. He must've thought I wasn't off yet. He turned a corner and laughed, stopping. It was dark in the alleyway, but I didn't miss the girl jump into his arms and kiss him.

My breath stopped and I had to hold onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. Who the fork was this bootch in my boyfriends arms. Anger took over my understanding and I ran up to them, trying to keep my calm.

" Jace didn't you see me? I had to run here." I pretended to be out of breath acting oblivious.

His face went pale, and he pushed her away, shaking as he spoke.

" Umm, yeah, wanna go eat? I went down here to. Um. I was trying to find my wallet. I walked back here earlier and dropped it. I found it though so I'm okay. Wanna eat? Did I already ask that? Isn't it hot tonight? Just me? How was work? Where do you wanna go for-"
