Jessie's pov.

I get up simultaneously, I've been getting up this time everyday for so long my body doesn't even need an alarm clock and so, my brain does a little gallop - self development!

I brush my teeth, shower and stare at my appearance. Have I always looked this boring?

Blank.
Bland.
Forgetable.
Replaceable.

I get dressed and gather all the possible documents needed for me to purchase a new phone. I carefully collect what was my phone, making sure not to cut my hand.

I walk towards the door and very slowly, pull the latch back, it scratches against the metal and creates a minute high pitched noise. I pull down the ancient handle praying today is the day it doesn't break.

My bank account is an empty as my life right now.

Today is like any other day. I won't... can't get a message from Emerson and he won't be in my doorway or at the bottom of the stairwell to greet me. Instead I'll be faced with the door of my neighbor, discoloured stairs and a nosey doorman.

I open the door and I notice there's something, much rather someone standing in the doorway.

I look up and there he is. The man that's made me addicted to him, the keeper of my dreams and everything in between.

"Hey..."

And my heart flutters.
