Newly single.

chapter 28

I think everyone's bad karma is out to get me. I do nice, good and honest things like put money in charity boxes; help people who are lost because I now know my way around middle earth pretty well. But for some reason shit happens.

Like the other day I was walking home from work and what should happen, the sky opens and pours a shit load of rain on me, the only day I don't have my umbrella! I trip over invisible rocks... Just general bad stuff but to be honest this has happened although out my life so I'm getting pretty used to the looks after I’ve slipped on a grass verge in the middle of a city and is cover in mud.

I have dramatic mood changes and it’s no PMSing it’s probably closer to bipolar. One minute I'm really happy and jumping around next minute I could be sat by myself just mulling over my life and am well... Depressed.

It had been a few months after Dominic had broken up with me, and I still didn't know why. But as I was coming up to Christmas I’d hoped that I could get some charismas cheer into me, as it would be a better option than my mum trying to cheer me up.

When I'm on a downer she would try and cheer me up, by taking me shopping or to the cinema, they worked for a while but were never permanent. I sat in my room and just flicked through Facebook or read a book got bored and slept...

Prod... Prod prod

’Pissssstttt... Elles, get up you lazy shit... Come on!'

'Mow ma may'

'No!'

I lifted my head up from my desk when i had obviously fallen asleep, again. To find the girls (and Eli) lined up in my room.

'What do you want?' I whined at them

Eli pipes up 'this is called an Intervention... I saw it on How I met your mother'

'What does it have to do with me?'

'It has everything to do with you Elise' Han chips in

Then Kate 'We love you babe, but this' - waves he hands indicating me - 'has to stop'

'An Intervention is where the people who love you, us, gather round and basically tell you why you should stop... Well at least that’s what I think it is?' There goes Meg

'Basically, we stole your phone and you have a date with Liam tonight at 8pm and the time now is 6.30pm'

'YOU DID WHAT?'

'Got you a date, silly bitch' Eli again

I feel like crap, looked in the mirror, look like crap and my mates want me to go on a date. Yeh sure Liam is a great guy but when I feel like this, I don't wanna go on a date.

'But...'

Kate cut me off 'No buts missy!'

'We are gonna get you ready' - Meg

'But...'

'OI WHAT DID I JUST SAY?'

'No buts'

'Good girl'

Bossy britches Kate, I bet this was her idea to set me up on a date. Not happy. They did my hair, make up and put me in some clothes and I went from a downer to an upper. In less than an hour so we had time to gossip and I learnt that Han and Michael were getting along like a house on fire. Meg had been on a few dates herself and Kate had been seeing a guy called Alex that she met on our wild night. I miss them all, they were trying to be nice and I have been pushing them away...

'I miss you guys'

They all looked at me in sympathy, smiled only to have Han practically jump on me and say
