Sin City Adventures (A Zak Bagans FanFic)

Chapter 9: Beautiful Pool, Beautiful Day, Beautiful Company

Bang!

I jolt awake. "What the hell?" I frantically look around my surroundings to find I'm still on Zak's couch. "Shit!" I grab my phone off the coffee table where the popcorn bowl still sits and look at the time. 9:30am. Kelsey's tried calling me four times and sent me texts. I feel so bad I never told her I was staying here later than I thought, but I never thought I would actually fall asleep on his couch and stay the night. I still stare at my phone checking my messages when Kelsey calls. "Kelsey, I'm so sorry!"

"You didn't call me!"

"I know and I'm so sorry. I wasn't expecting to stay here."

"It's okay. I guess you're not coming to work today?"

"Shit. Tell Diane I'm extremely sorry, but I'm coming. I'll be there ASAP."

"Okay, but hurry."

"Alright bye."

"Bye."

I get my ass off the couch and head straight to the kitchen to grab my purse. I don't even bother looking for Zak since I'm already extremely late for work. I race out the front door to my car and speed home to change into my scrubs. I decide to call Zak and apologize on my way to work.

Ring.

"Shawn! Where did you run away to?"

"Zak! I had to be at work at 7:30! Why didn't you wake me?"

"Shit, Shawn. I'm sorry. God, I suck."

"You don't suck, Zak. It's my own fault. I promise I'll see you later. I didn't mean to crash and dash."

"It's alright. And I sure hope to see you."

"You will. Bye, Zak."

"See ya."

I finally make it to work at about 10:20 and I race straight into Diane's office to apologize. I barely get out a couple works and she blows up. "Do you not want to be here?!"

"What?" I'm taken aback that she's so upset. "Diane you know I would never mean to be so late. I'm never late and you know that."

"Well clearly you don't care to work out your two weeks. All you can focus on is stupid Ghost Adventures."

"Excuse me?" She don't dare bring them into this. "They have nothing to do with me being late." I lie since I'm a way it kinda was. I mean, I don't blame Zak. Like I said, it was my fault that I fell asleep on his couch and didn't wake up for work.

"Have you clocked in yet?"

"What?" I ask confused wondering why she would want to know.

"Have you punched in yet?"

"No."

"Okay, then. You can just leave. Don't bother finishing the week."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm serious."

I look behind me through the door and everyone is staring. I don't bother to fight back with Diane and storm out of the hospital. This was absolutely ridiculous. I sit in my car for a minute before going back home and I get a group text from Kelsey with everyone in it. 'What happened?'

'Yeah, what the hell is going on?'

'Shawn, are you leaving?'

'Y'all, calm down. Diane freaked out because I was so late and she doesn't think that I want to be here and finish my two weeks so I'm not.'
