The next morning, or well night, a wild breeze blew through the open bedroom window which Scarlett had forgotten to close the previous night. The trees rattled ferociously against one another, awakening the girl from her slumber.
Scarlett reached over to her bedside table to reach for her slick iPhone which read "3:48 AM" and let out an elongated sigh. She slipped into her flip flops and made her way, trudging, to the window and closed it forcefully making sure that there was no possible way that any human or paranormal being could open it again. She clicked the windows' lock and paced back slowly towards what she would call her 'sanctuary'.
Knowing she could sleep a couple more hours, she plopped down onto her bed and pulled the comforter upward and tried to tuck herself in as best she could. She then decided to put on her headphones and play a couple songs by Birdy since she knew it wouldn't be easy to fall back asleep due to her insomnia.
Around half an hour and 7 songs later, she finally found herself drifting off into sleep once again.
----
It was 9:34 AM when she eventually woke up again, rubbing the grime from her eyes as she made her way to her bathroom and flicked on the light switch. Not even surprised by the horrendous reflection she saw in the mirror, she reached down toward the sink and washed her face, later she went on to complete her morning routine which consisted of taking a shower, get distracted and zone out for a good five minutes or so, then get dressed and run downstairs to have her breakfast.
She normally didn't eat breakfast this early, or at all as a matter of fact, but she decided to that morning because she knew she'd need the energy to confront her boss at the studio before going to her office and packing up her things.
Scarlett worked in 'V And S Records' a recording studio, only the most prestigious one in all of the United States, where artists from the works of Katy Perry to All Time Low, etcetera, recorded their albums at.
She had prepared herself a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese and orange juice and took her time while eating each bite, dreading ever second that she would have to see the prick of her boss again.
Once she was done eating, Scarlett walked toward a small table which resided next to her door and grabbed her purse and the keys to her white Mercedes stationed in her driveway. She walked out the door, making sure to lock it on her way out.
---
She took her time getting to the recording studio, trying to avoid ever having to make contact with her boss again, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it. So when she reached the recording studios' entrance, she decided to have her car valet parked as it would be her last day with that luxury.
An attractive brown haired guy in what seemed to be his twenties turned around as the revving of Scarletts' car engine came to an abrupt stop a couple feet away from him.
"Hey, I'm Jonah" said the guy who now had a name.
"Hi, I'm Scarlett, I was wondering if you were in charge of the valet parking?" Scarlett replied.
"I actually am" Jonah stated with a grin apparent on his lips, "would you like me to park your car for you? if you work at the studio you'll have to provide identification and if not, then it'll be $4.75"
"I work here actually" she replied, with her hand already skimming her purse to find her studio ID. "here you go" Scarlett said as she handed the ID over to Jonah.
"Alright thank you ma'am, you can come pick your car up when you've finished dealing with your business inside, have a great day beautiful"
Jonah replied with the cheekiest grin she'd ever seen as she handed her keys over to him.

Once inside the building, she checked in at the front desk and got on the elevator to the third floor, where both her bosses and her own office were located.
When the elevator dinged to alert her that she was at her destination, she stepped out of the elevator and onto the hard wood floor leading to her office. She was oh so lucky to have her office next to her bosses, she thought sarcastically.
But right before she had the chance to step into her office, she noticed someone all to familiar leaning against Vick's assistants desk.
She didn't know who she most detested to see, her boss in a couple of minutes or the tattoo and piercing covered boy who she had seen way too much that previous day.
Without even noticing, her feet involuntarily moved themselves toward the boy and before she could even decipher a clear sentence, she spoke
"what in the hell are you doing here?"
The guy turned around to reveal the man who had been the reason she got fired, and the reason she has blisters covering the entirety of her stomach.
"Oh it's you, Scarlett isn't it?" the guy hissed, elongating her name, hatred lingering off every syllable.
"Yeah, now what are you doing here" the girl retorted with just as much attitude.
The boy cackles before taking a deep breath and says with the biggest smirk his face allowed,
"Oh didn't you know? I'm Harry, and Vick's my father"
