Amanda's POV

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do "

Bruno Mars' s angelic voice busted through my phone speakers when my alarm went off, I groaned before sitting up and rubbing the crust off the corners of my eyes. I sat there like a dead corpse for nearly 20 minutes before getting up from the couch I slept in last night heading towards the kitchen, I stumbled upon an empty bottle of Margarita on the floor, FUCK !  I was only supposed to ease the stress off, I mentally face-palm myself. I turned to look at my living room and it literally resembled a shit hole, I massaged my forehead when I suddenly got a migraine. I slowly walked upstairs to my room, I entered and went straight into the bathroom and prepared a warm bath for myself.

I removed every piece of clothing on my body and went over to the sink to brush my teeth, memories of yesterday weighing heavily on my mind

I removed every piece of clothing on my body and went over to the sink to brush my teeth, memories of yesterday weighing heavily on my mind. After brushing my teeth I tied my hair into a messy bun and stepped into the tub, sinking in and letting the warm liquid relax every muscle on my aching body. The sound of people walking around and cabs honking ironically calmed me down, my eyelids suddenly got heavy but I tried my best to fight the sleep. I fell asleep at 03:50 this morning and my alarm usually rings at 07:30 for work  , so I barely got sleep and my body made that quite clear by refusing to fully function. I closed my eyes, sinking deeper into the tub and let the much needed sleep consume me. Guess I'm skipping work today

(13:36 PM)

'BANG BANG!'

My eyes fluttered open but instantly shut closed again when I came in contact with the sun that was shining through my bathroom window. I turned to the other side of the tub, my back facing the window. I shivered when the now cold water made movement in the tub

'BANG BANG'

Who the hell ?! I stood up from the tub and hopped out, I snatched the towel off the rank and wrapped it around my wet body. I hurriedly walked downstairs, wetting the floor in the process of doing so. I didn't order anything so I don't have any packages and I highly doubt it's De'arra because... you know... Yea. I got to the door and unlocked it, i pulled the door open and met the bottomless dark brown eyes I've been dreading to see. I tightened the small towel that barely covered my wet body, I started to get intimidated once more. His eyes were so empty and endless, they didn't have an ounce of kindness in them, rather range.  My eyes searched for something to stare at, with hope of avoiding his intense gaze. He pushed passed me inviting himself in, rude ass!  I closed the door and followed him into the living room that I haven't cleaned yet, gripping the towel tightly.
