Falling, going down and down and down and down again, it seems to never stop. Not until rock bottom, the worst state to be in, where you're extremely desperate. I hate that I was in that state and put myself where I am now, and it's not exactly pleasant.
I can't deal with the constant fear of arrest. Swimming in debt and bills doesn't help at all. Plus, the forever flow of heartbreak, the doubt in my blood, the guilty pound of my heart. All ties into one specific day, the worst day of my goddamned life.
December 1st 2019
" SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! I'm late!" I raced down the stairs and across the tile in my socks. I grabbed my bagel and zoomed to the door to put my shoes on. I rushed out the door, down the seven steps (counted them myself out of boredom) and dove into the busy streets of New York.
"TAXI! TAXI!" I called out, nobody stopped. "Dammit! The office is on the other side of the city! I'll never make it on foot!" I thought. A wave of panic flooded my face. "Mam', are you okay?" A deep and calming voice appeared behind me. I turned swiftly to see a tall and lean man, looking over me with a look of care in his eyes, the same look I hadn't seen in years. "Y-Yeah, I just can't get a taxi" I stammered out. "Oh, lemme help you then!"
"Y-you really don't ha-"
"Already done"
"W-what?!"
A sudden shock flew through me when a taxi had appeared suddenly. "How did you do that?!"
"Practice✨"
"PFFFT-" I burst out laughing. "Call me later, okay?" I said, handing him my business card with my number on it. "Okay, talk later then?" He said, "okay!"
