Impossible

Chapter Two

I awoke to the sound of my alarm beeping which I set on my new phone! I sat up quickly and surprisingly excited. I've never been this excited for anything in life. Emily just covers her face with the pillow while I shut off the alarm. 9:00. I know I my meeting wasn't until 12:00 this afternoon, but I just wanted to give myself time to relax. I went over to the chair Emily set the clothes I was going to wear on and pulled out the ironing board that she had in her room. I started to iron my dress and sweater. No, I didn't have an iron, but because I was always here Emily taught me. Now holding up my perfectly flat dress and layed it back down on the chair. I grabbed a pair of underwear and my one bra that clasps in the back. "I'm going to take a shower." I say turning to Emily who was still asleep, already on summer time. "Uh hmmmm" she murmurs and I just smile to myself. "Actually, ......I think I'll take a bath." I say skipping to her bathroom. I plug the clean white tub and start to run the nice, soothing, hot water. I then look at myself in the mirror. My usual eye bags are gone, my acne looks better, and my eyes twinkle with hope. I haven't looked like this since my 10 birthday, when I got to stay with Emily while my parents were in jail for a week. I then stripped down to nothing and turn the water off. I grab my phone and turn on my favorite music and slide into the hot clear water. I sat there with my hair in a bun and my heading leaning on the cool tile. While "Sign of the Times" started playing, I just closed my eyes and think about all the possibilities that could happen at my interview. Great, now I'm stressing myself out with these stupid possibilities.I can't do that if I want this job. I open my eyes and turn off my music. I don't need to wash my hair today, and I just don't feel like it. I check the time seeing it's 10. Wow, I dazed off for a bit. I stand up and grab the dark blue towel and wrap it around my naked body. I drain the tub and undo my now messy bun. I brush out my hair and change into the pjs I were once wearing. I walk into the room seeing Emily on her phone still kind of asleep. I put the towel on the door hook and walk downstairs to get or make breakfast. Ahhhhh breakfast. I loved breakfast, the eggs, the pancakes and waffles, and oh I loved the bacon and sausage! I never ate breakfast because we didn't have enough food at my house. I open up her fridge and was met with not much for breakfast, but I could make my famous eggs. I grab out two eggs, then two more for Emily. I crack them in a bowl and whisk them quickly. I've always wanted to be a chef. That's why I worked at the restaurant, not because I wanted to be a waitress and not even for the money, though I needed it. It was to learn their recipes, and cooking techniques. Some days I would stay late with the sue chef, James, and he would teach me how to cook. 

Flash back

James stood there rolling out the dough for the apple pie we were making. "You have to role it out thin and neat, but not to thin or it will crack when it bakes." He says. He would teach me everything, baking and cooking. "Now you give it a try." He says pointing to the rolling pin. I go over smiling at the pastry that layed before me. I grabbed both ends of the pin and started rolling away, with smooth and soft strokes. " you have talent y/n. I think, with the right training, you will run your own restaurant someday." He says smiling going over to put away the other ingredients we already used. " really ?" I say setting the pin down and picking up the now flat, thin dough. " for sure, you just know how to do things and understand cooking. And the best thing is..." he continues while I lay the crust on top the pie filling. " you have the desire to cook, not for money, but because you want to." He says finishing his sentence. I would never forget those words and lessons he would give to me late after closing time.

Flash back ends

I look at the two perfectly fluffy eggs that were topped with vegetables and the basic salt and pepper. Satisfied, I bring up the two plates to Emily's room where I find a dressed and ready Emily. "Here you go my love." I say setting the plate on her lap. "Yesssss, you haven't made this in ages!" She says digging into her hot food. I just smile and take my first bite. Mmmmmmmmmmm. When were both done eating, Emily opens up her laptop and we watch some YouTube videos. After watching about 30 minutes of diys, and life hacks, I check the time making sure not to lose track of it. 10:39. "Well I got to get ready now." I say hopping out of the bed. " ok but I'm doing your make up." She says while waking away with the empty dishes in her hands. I slip out of my pjs and into my nice red dress. I slip on my nice converse and go over to the bathroom. I neatly put my hair into a nice tight braided bun, also pulling out to strands of hair on the sides to frame my face.(if you have short hair imagine you just curled it) I walk back into the room where emily motions for me to sit down. I sit on her bed and let her get to work. When I finally open my eyes and look in the mirror, I was flabbergasted. My lips had a subtle red lipstick, my eyes had a perfect wing and my mascara was more than perfect. My eyelids had a complementary reddish/pinkish eye shadow and my cheeks were dusted with pink blush. I looked in awe at the face that was in front of me. I honestly could cry but I kept myself from doing that or else I would mess it all up, and the best part was she kept it sweet and simple. I've never liked makeup but this looked absolutely perfect. "Emily ......" I say. "Yep, one of my finest pieces I have to say." She says smiling resting an elbow on my shoulder looking in the mirror as well. "Thank you!" I say hugging her, I have no clue where I would be in life if I didn't have her. "Ya ya, now go you'll be late if you wait any longer, it's already 11:35." She says handing me my hand purse and her keys to the silver bug she had parked in the drive way. I made sure everything I needed was in my purse and grabbed my sweater. I hugged her again and said, " well, wish me luck." "I will!" And with that walked out of the familiar home and into the familiar car. She got this bug for her 16 birthday one year ago. I turned on my phone and put in the directions I needed to go. I buckled up and headed down the road feeling like a princess.
