Sams P.O.V

It's almost 7am, I should get up but I've beer sitting here since 5. I can't get her out of my head. She is confusing, mean and concerned; and I don't know why.

I just wanted to get a job to stay away from home. I didn't expect to get stress from the boss so fast. Why couldn't she just apologize and move on? How did she get my number? Its not my place to question her.

I push myself out of bed and instantly regret it. My whole body is stiff, nor from working just from him. I let out a quiet qasp before getting dressed slowly and covering my bruises.

"Oh so you have a girlfriend?"

Those words keep bouncing around in my mind. I don't know why I'd bothered me so much. I've never thought about dating, nobody has ever liked me, do I want that?

I don't know what it would feel like. I feel my body get tingly when a image pops into my head. I feel my face heat up.

I'm standing on the edge of a cliff. I don't know how I got here. Its pieceful. I feel a pair of arms rap around me. I look down, the arms are around my waist. The hands are quite delicate. I turn to see who it is but the image disappears.

I swallow and shake my head, my face still feels hot. "what the fuck was that" I bite my lip and try to move on. The cold and loneliness soon takes over again. I remember my father and what happened.

I touch the spot over my pants where he cut me. I shake my head and go for the door.

No one will love you

But I want to feel that feeling again

It was just a dream, kill yourself

I stop dead in my tracts. I look down at my hands as they shake.

"should I?" I whisper. I shake thought from my head. Its dangerous to stand here alone. I hurry to the building.

I walk up to Maggie, not because I need to but I wanted to ask her something.

"um Maggie" I whisper. She looks up from her work and instantly smiles at the site of me.

"Yeah doll?" She said waiting for what I had to say like she cares.

"Um sorry to uh distract you but do you think we could talk?" I say picking at my hands.

"Oh sure, I'm going on break in 15 minutes. I can meet you in the break room. For now I would go see if Ms. Swift needs anything" I smile and nod walking away from the lady.

I make my way up to the door
I knock and straightened out my shirt. I go in and stand infront of her.

"Good morning Ms. Swift" I say not looking at her. "Good morning Ms. Woods. I don't have anything for you to do, I will calm you when I do" she says.

I sigh and walk out. I'm not sighing at her I just don't feel good. I want a hug but not just a random one. Sometimes being lonely really gets to me. I walk to the break room and sit.

Maggie comes in shortly and sits with me.

"So what did you want to talk about hun." I hesitate "Does.. does Ms. Swift invite many people to dinner?" I ask. I don't understand why she would invite me. She could have just apologize.

"Not that I know of. I don't think anyone has ever interacted with her outside of here if I'm honest. Why?" She asked looking at me.

"No reason. I just saw her with someone I thought I saw here" I lied.
