I rubbed my eyes in confusion. Daylight seeped through my window. I looked at my watch. It was already 10 a.m. I wrapped my soft pink robe around me and dragged myself towards the kitchen. I made some cereal, and ate it quickly on the kitchen counter. I threw on some black leggings and a loose white shirt and sat down on my bed. I saw a slip of paper peeking out from under the covers, and remembered what had happened last night. I decided not to think about it until after the date, and buried it in a box filled with stuff I didn't use anymore.
I grabbed a light blue sweater, my phone and my headphones, and headed out to run.
------------------------
A few hours later, I started getting ready for my date. I put on the clothes I had prepared the other day, and did my make-up. At 6:50, I decided to head down to the lobby. I waited, and waited and waited. It was 7:30 already and he wasn't here. I started to worry. Had he stood me up? Did he forget? I decided to find out. I grabbed my phone from my purse, and called him.
Straight to voice mail.
"Hello I'm either busy or avoiding your call. You know what to do"
I decided not to leave a message and headed up to my apartment. I ordered Chinese, and watched some movies. I heard a noise. I got up, crept towards the front door and screamed.
Crystal's decaying body lay on the floor in front of me.
