Only his surrogate

eleven

I was woken up by my alarm, again! but this time it was a good thing, results day. Not wanting to leave the room or house i knew i had too. I got showered and dressed into a smart blue dress and heels tied my hair back and applied minimal makeup. I had to show i was coping fine when really i wanted to curl up and sleep until this felt normal. 

Leyton was asleep in his room i didn't want to wake him so i left him a note instead by the coffee machine which is where i knew he would go when he was awake. I got in my car and drove to the halls where the results were given. Maggie met me outside and gave the most comforting hug. "how are you?" she smiles. "good ... im good Mags, thanks" i smile back. "look, me and the girls are heading out for a few tonight? why dont  you come? let your hair down ..." drinking? was that wise? "I dont know mags, is that really wise, i mean the last time i was drunk i got into this situation .." she chuckled at my reply as we walk the halls to the main room. "you dont even have to drink alot. you might surprise yourself and enjoy it!" with Maggie it really didnt take much to say yes she can be persuasive when she wanted to be. 

"I will pick you up at 8" she smiled as we walked up to the table. I just rolled my eyes and smiled as i approached the woman sitting behind the desk. "April Rhodes" she hands me my envelope. this was it, 3 years of studying sleepless nights .... for this a piece of paper. i ripped it open i couldn't bare the thought of waiting longer. "how did you do?" Maggie smiled as she walked to me! i read my results .. "I done it ... diplomas in all ... i passed!"  i exclaimed. "so did i!!" we exchanged hugs ... "see we can celebrate tonight!" I guess she wasn't wrong. 

"Leyton?!" i called out as i walked in the front room. i checked my phone. he left a message. *Gone to work! sorry i couldn't be at home when you get back! Good luck today, let me know L* i guess he can be thoughtful sometimes. 

Jane had left dinner in the kitchen .. i knew there was wine in the fridge, so i grabbed a glass and ate some food before getting a bubble bath and getting ready for the night ahead. 

I decided on my little red dress, it hugged my figure in the right places, with black stiletto heels. i blow dried and straightened my hair and applied makeup. 

*Outside!* my phone flashed up with a text from Maggie, I drank the rest of my wine and grabbed my bag and jacket before heading outside. 

I guess tonight really couldn't be that bad? Could it?
