TES #3 My Refound Girl

10. Tomorrow

I rolled on my bed after a long day at work. But unfortunately my day is not over yet.

I sighed and got up from the bed. Heading to the bathroom, I stripped and started to take a quick hot shower. I have to go to my work in another hour.

If you all know, I shifted to Lorraine a few months back. Coping up from the betray was hard and I am still not sure if I'm over it or not.

Of course it took a huge turn in my life. Years of relationship just went down the drain. Stephen came around so many times to apologise and my parents beat the shit out of him. Once he blocked my way from office to home and explained me everything. He was just drunk that time and was just a one night until she came around again and that's when he felt th attraction and soon they started having an affair. It broke my heart but I acted lik I didn't care. He wanted my forgiveness but I just kept silent and left.

Ever since everywhere I go, the moments I spent with him kept appearing in my head. I couldn't concentrate on my life and ended up crying every night. My mom was the one who suggested me I get a break from life and go on a vacation.

But I didn't like the idea. I kept working like a zombie and soon everyone in my work place came to know about it. They started showing sympathy and I felt more pathetic. I never wanted anyone to have any feelings of sorry. I know they are doing it out of their kind heart, but everytime they do something it brings back the memories which I tried to bury and forget.

One day I work, I just couldn't take it any longer. I stormed out of the office and drove outside. My mind was all over the place and I was about to crash at a pole. Thankfully I got my senses back and was soon surrounded by cops. After showing them my license and a strict warning, I came back home.

I slept crying the whole day and didn't bother to have food or anything. For the next whole week I didn't show up at office. I never left my room and was on bed the whole day. My health started going down and I couldn't give a shit about that.

That's when Stella came over to my house. She forced me to get ready and we both first went to eat. After that we started spending the day roaming around and just chit chatting like usual. It was like those normal days. I had lots of fun. We went to various places and she uplifted my mood and brought back my energy.

After sunset, we returned home and that's when she suggested me moving out. That would give a new environment for me to live and not come back to the past. Working always makes me happy and that's why I decided to keep my schedule so packed that I wore myself out the entire day and sleep like a kid at night. It's been about 8 months I'm already here and since it's my home town, I am loving it. Yes, I belong here but my grandparents moved us to NYC and we were staying there since that time.

Though we belong here, we don't have any property here. So I rented myself a small apartment. It wasn't that big compared to my house but it's homely and cosy. I was so much excited about decorating this place according to my liking. It took me about 2-3 weeks to settle down and find things for my apartment and my job.

I started working as an waitress in a hotel nearby in the day. After that I volunteer at the nursery during the afternoon till evening. I love kids and love spending time with them. That is in fact my most favourite part of the day. After that I come back home and take rest for about an hour before I head to the gym where I work as a co manager to check the gym passes and sometimes help clean the gym at weekends, so that my weekends are also packed. I earn quiet a decent amount and of course, cause I'm burning with three jobs every day.

Until today I got fired from the restaurant. I was feeling giddy and nauseous until I dropped the order on the table and everything was spilled around. The manager insulted me in front of everyone and that's how I lost my job. I skipped attending the nursery cause I needed some alone time. I roamed around for sometime and called my mom. After speaking to her I was much better.

After my shower, I wore a robe and went to my kitchen. Making a cup or tea, I took some cookies my neighbour dropped yesterday and sat on th balcony. The chill breeze made me relax a lot better. I plugged in my earphones and kept listening to songs until I realise it's almost time.

Quickly washing my utensils, I changed my clothes into a black leggings and a tank top. Wearing a jacket over it, I headed out and started walking across the street. After about 15 minutes, I reached the place and I was right on time. Keeping my bag in the locker, I started working. My legs ached from standing at the entrance from 7-10 pm and now it's almost the time for closing the gym. The manager already left and I waited for some people to leave the gym. Afternoon about half an hour, the gym is almost clear and I started switching off the lights. I turned off the acs and took my bag out. Finally closing the gym, I walked out.

It was a very chilly night, so I hugged myself and walked across the street. I was thankful that the place had some movement around cause I'm very scared to walk alone at night. 

I was walking to my apartment when a flyer flew by cause of the breeze. I picked it up from my feet and it stated the need of a supervisor for a construction. Since it was dark, I kept it in my bag and reached my apartment.

I took out th flyer and yes I was right. They needed a supervisor for the construction and experience didn't matter, just knowledge cause they want the construction to be completed as soon as possible. I thought this might be a perfect job cause they pay is also very good.

I was shocked to see the interview is tomorrow! What?
