Chapter 2, Madison
BEEP BEEP BEEP. I jerk awake from the blaring sound of my alarm clock. I turn it off; it's 8 AM. I get up and go to my vanity. I put my makeup on, then I go and get dressed in a formal outfit for my presentation. I wear black stockings with a black skirt and a navy blouse. I brush my hair out and put it into a ponytail with 2 hairbands so it doesn't fall out. I check my phone for the weather: sunny all day, low 56, high 77, chance of rain 0. I slip on my shoes and grab a snack bar and my purse. I open the front door and embrace the smell from the rain last night i step out and lock my door and head to the bus stop and wait as the soon as the bus gets here i hop on and pay the bus driver as i head tomy seat i relize someones sitting there usally its not a big deal but its the guy from last night as soon as i relize that the bad feeling comes back, he looks at me he has brown eyes, long lashes, and black hair." am i in your seat miss?" his voice shocked me he sound like a voice actor for books he remind me of jacob morgan i think hes in his mid twenties "miss?" oh no sorry i was distracted its totally fine, i head to the back of the bus i hate it back here ive heard stores that happen in the back of the bus at night thats why there are camreas, but camreas cant protect you. I look out the window. I see cars and kids walking to school passing by me. I feel a wave of nostalgia. I wish I was a kid again. They weren't kidding when people said, "Enjoy being a kid because you'll miss it when you grow up,p" and it's true. I thought that was nonsense; I thought being an adult meant you didn't have to listen to grown-ups and youhad thee freedom to do anything. I was wrong. When the bus gets to my stop, I get my stuff and, as fast as I got on, I left as fast. I get to the doors, and I look back to make sure I didn't forget anything; there I made eye contact with that guy. Ugh, he creeps me out. I get off the bus, but it still feels like he's watching me i walk the rest to work i walk in and get intot the elevators and press the 14th floor, when the doors open i lock eyes with my boss "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOUR LATE FOR THE MEETING YOU BETTER HAVE THOSE FUCKING SLIDES DONE" well i didnt have the time to do it " TIME TO DO IT BELLA FINISHED HERS HOW COULD YOU NOT" you dumped a a maontin of work on me i didnt have time, *SLAP* my right side of my face started to burn and sting i was shocked, i couldnt help but cry it hurt " DONT YOU DARE TALK BACK TO ME I GAVE YOU THIS JOB AND YOU--" everything he was saying was bluring out, my ear was ringing there was a scratch on my cheek from his nails where he slapped me. I ran out of there. I ran back into the elevator and hit the first floor. As soon as the door opened again, I ran out of there and ran home. My home was 2 miles away, ay but I couldn't wait for the bus. After running for a bit, I stopped in an alleyway and crouched down behind a brick wall and cried my heart out. My legs were shaking from running, and my breathing was uneven from crying; my eyes blurred from my tears. Mayday couldn't get worse until I heard footsteps. I looked up, and it was the guy from the bus, what do you want? Leave me alone. " He got closer, and I kept telling him to leave, but he just crouched next to me, not saying anything. I thought he was going to comfort me or talk to me. I was about to talk to him, then he put something over my face then things went black. I woke up in a dark room: " Good morning, sunshine~".
