it's already been a week since the car accident and since I last spoke to justin. things haven't been so great for me, the doctor had prescribed some antidepressants due to the fact that I wasn't able to sleep and all I would wanna do was just lay in bed. justin had started his tour a few days ago, zariah had showed me a few pictures but I wasn't  really interested in seeing them.

the news have been mentioning on tv about how justin and I are no longer a thing.

I return to work tomorrow, even though I dont want to, it doesn't leave me any other choice. zariah has offered to talk to her manager about offering me a position at her job and of course I had turned it down like always.

I didn't have enough to pay in order to stop working where i worked, so this is all i had until a miracle or something happened.

my whole room was a mess, it hadn't been cleaned in days. motivation for things was completely lost, there was no purpose in anything, the one person who i loved and cared about left, of course, i knew his would've happened eventually, just not the way i imagined it to.

"hey tabby, you wanna do something before work? we could maybe go get some ice cream?" zariah smiled and i returned it but shook my head.

"i'll pass, but thanks. i rather just stay here until i go into work, i don't feel too good, cramps are bad, my periods starting soon," she nodded and gave me a hug, then went out the room.

i turned around and got comfy, now to wait until it's time to go.

by the time i woke up it was already 6:45 pm. i was running late and i couldn't find my shoes. i went into zariah's room and ended up finding them in her dresser.

before i could head out the door i began to feel dizzy, and sharp pains on my side. this was from the lack of sleep and food, i hardly eat so i brushed it off, because this had been happening for the past days.

once i arrived to work everyone looked at me confused but greeted me.

"so you're performing tonight?!" bella asked, i raised my eyebrows and chuckled.

as if i has a choice.

before i could answer her, there was a knock on the door,"hey tabby, i though you weren't coming tonight, but now that you're here follow me please." all the girls waved at me and smiled.

what the hell is going on?

i closed the door behind me and felix went over to his desk, taking a seat and opening a folder that had all my information in it.

"take a seat please," i did as he told.

"felix, what's going on? is everything okay, everyone's acting so weird." he smiled and shook his head.

he pulled out my contract and held it up, including all my important paperwork that i signed, he looked at it and ripped it.

my eyes grew wide.

"what's happening, did i do something wrong?!" my eyes nearly popped out.

"it was great having you, and you're one of our best dancers there are, but im so proud of you, and happy for you."

"what the hell is going on, im so confused," he raised an eyebrow.

he pulled out a check,"doesn't this seem familiar? it's your payment, your way out of here." my heart began to race, how was this possible?

i was out of words, who the hell paid?

"can i that please?" he nodded and handed me the check.
