You Took My Breath Away

Chapter Five

Its 12pm, 3 hours after I arrived at work and I am exhausted. I have intense chest pain and it hurts to breathe. I haven't eaten lunch and I don't feel like eating, but doctors orders is to eat more. The doctor said if i'm still feeling ill on monday to go back and see him. Which i'll probably end up doing. I go back to the counter after checking in with the boss about the second half of my shift. Last 3 hours is serving customers and sorting out shelves. I stand beside Janet at the counter. Janet is drop dead gorgeous and should be in the modelling business. Absolutely stunning. However, she has this job because it's good money and she's always had a soft spot for electronics. A bit of a nerd when it comes to information on an Xbox. I've always despised her. I mean, she has an instagram account that she goes on DURING WORK, and since her and George are besties, he doesn't do anything. Seems childish to complain over it, but she hardly does any work. She's also so bitchy. I mean, I once ages ago, forgot to bring a ring light thing to work. (She had let me borrow it for my occasional photography). And she got so mad and made up a bunch of lies, which made ME look bad. Just because I forgot to bring a ring light to work! I brought it in two days later, but she still bitches about it to this day. Ugh. "Hey Care." She's called me Care since I first got the job, and she knows I hate being called it. My sister used to call me Care before she, well, disappeared. "Hello Janette." I know she hates being called Janette. She scoffs, rolls her eyes, and looks around the room. She obviously sees something that catches her eye because she scurries off in a rush. I see a lady coming through the door and appears to be very lost. I walk over to her to ask if I can help with anything. "Im looking for Carly Jefferson." I don't even know this person, why is she looking for me? It's a woman who looks to be in her twenties, around my age. "I just need to see her right now." She looks extremely worried so i speak up. "Yes? I am Carly.." I pause. "Do I know you?" She looks at me as if she's seen a ghost. "Carly it's me, Veronica!" I open my mouth to talk but instead collapse. I fall to the floor and hit my head, everything goes blurry, then black.
