Session 4

Vanessa's Pov.

*Beep Beep*

I woke up to the insistent beeping of my alarm clock from my phone, I groaned as I looked at my phone.

Then I saw a text reading it he said he wants me back appeared across the screen.

Who labels their alarm that "of course" I said as soon as I realised I was at Alice's house must have crashed at hers after the drinking at the point.

"Shit my alarm" she said bursting into the room. "How do you not have an hangover and who names their alarm he said he wants me back".

"I do have one but I woke up early and had our usual recipe yours is on the dinning table" she said "and for the alarm caption, durrh have you met me"

Good point.

"Well have a great day and lock" she said as she carried her bag and her key heading towards the door. Realising that she had gone I decided the go back to sleep.

"Great"I shut my eyes and went back to my pleasant sleep,, though that didn't

last long because at the moment my eyelids closed Sandra barged in, guess she slept over also

"Vanessa,wake the hell up!" She yelled before opening the lights and leaving the door open. I swear to god if I ever did that to her she'd get pissed and make it an issue.

At this point she's really not my favourite person at all

I begrudgingly dragged myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and quickly fixed my hair,by fixed I mean attempted to make it presentable but failed miserably.

After that tragedy,I move to the kitchen to get rid of this hangover, the smell of the recipe made me nauseous , It wasnt bitter just didn't like it very much. It was simple and bland with an irritating smell

I quickly put on the combo of the brown camisole and a fitted denim skit , I always keep my clothes at Alice's just in case and so does she.

When that's over I squeeze into an over-sized jacket. Finally,I put on my favorite pair of short baby shoes , which by the way both Alice and Sandra hates do much, looking at the mirror i walk out of the room.

."You're going to work in those?" Sandra all but gags at my choice of footwear.See,I told you.

"Yeah,so?"I slumped down on the wooden chair of the dining table.

"Nessa,they're ugly and worn-out.You look really weird in them ."she chimes in

"Yeah,but according to guys out there I am weird even without these shoes as well so there's no point in giving a crap, now is there?"I say to tired to have this argument it's just 7.am

"Ugh,stop with those lines. It's annoying." She said

"So are you this morning but you don't see me complaining." I humbly ignore her request.

Definitely a different person from work and my house

"Yeah,whatever. I did warn Alice not to allow you drink too much" she continued"You would be cranky especially when it's still 6am"

"Wait,it's six a.m and you still decide to wake me up?" I look at my friend Sandra

incredulously.I admit I have never been the biggest fan to waking me up this early its

outrageous.

"I'm an insomniac,do you really think taking precious sleep away from me is a good idea, especially with the state of my job.?"

"Well I'm going to give you a ride so it's better you hurry up."Sandra says with that I begin to ignore he rall the way to the car.

Getting to work pretty early I search in my bag for my keys since Eunice hasnt arrived then I remembered that I left Eunice at work and kept my spare key in my office.

"I already hate this."I mentally groaned.I looked around the street everyone seemed to be focusing on their business or where they were headed ,everyone but one girl

She must've caught my staring as she turned her gaze towards me, she also had bags under her eyes but hers seemed like it was different from mine. I quickly averted my gaze to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

I always had a cynical outlook of life and it was not good for me or anyone, but I couldnt help it that I only picture things as grey even if they had all the colours in the rainbow. If I had parents that were interested in my wellbeing, they would've sent me to therapy when I was 10 but nah I had to cope with it till I was able to get rid of it and ran away home.

Fortunately for me, I met Alice and or I remember the words she said that day.

She approached me."Come with me."She ordered.

"E-excuse me?"I looked at her,confused.

I was sure she was going to beat me up or at least threaten to so I'll give her my money or something.

"Shut up and follow me."She said,more agitated this time.

"Umm,"I looked around, seeing if I could get any form of help

"This is taking too long."She forced me up, and began dragging me down the dark streets.

By the time she let go it was bruised, she sure did have a rough grip,

"If you're going to steal for me just know I don't have a dime on me."I say,still trying to stall.

"What?"She raised her eyebrow."Don't worry, I don't want to steal from you, not yet anyway." She chuckled, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to laugh alongside

"Excuse me, Dr Vanessa ." A petite lady appeared,she wore a short skirt and a bright turtle neck top drifting me out of my thoughts

"Yes, ma'm, how can I help you?"i turned to look at her, making sure my smile still intact.
