7:30 a.m.

"beep"
"beep"
"beep"
i finally got enough energy to turn off my alarm. i had to get up so i could feed peepa, yes, my dogs name is peepa. it was a name i always used as a kid, Peepa is a pembrook welsh corgi.
after brushing my teeth, i got dressed and put my apron on for work, i have been working at "Al's coffee cafe" for over 2 years now. i love the environment and everybody is so nice.

as i arrived to work, i saw the place was empty. no cars. i knew we were open because i checked to calender multiple times. (to make sure i didnt have to go back to bed). i walked a little scared because it has never looked like this before.

"Shelby what are you doing here?" my boss asked me.
"what do you mean, i coming in to work. what is going on?"
he told me " i have to shut down for personal problems."
"am i fired, what do i do?"
" yes, you will get your final paycheck on friday, listen i have to go, good luck shelby, thank you for everything over the past 2 years."

and just like that. i lost everything.
