Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

I groan loudly. My alarm goes on and on making me annoyed. I hit the snooze button and roll over to my side and fall back to sleep peacefully.

I hear a sound. A loud sound. Sounds like my alarm. My eyes snap open in panic. I quickly roll over to look at the clock. My eyes bulge out of their sockets. I rip the covers off my body and slide off my bed in full swing. I'm an hour late. I've never been an hour late before. Damnit I should have never stayed up that late. I just couldn't put down my case files. I had to finish them before I gave them to Mr. Henderson to look over.

I quickly walk over to my bathroom and switch the light on. I do all the business I need to do before I walk out and grab my clothes for the day in a quickening rush. I avoid taking shower and pull my somewhat greasy hair into a pony tail. I pull my front bangs out. They sit flattened on my forehead so as quickly as possible I scrounge around for a clip, and clip up my hair. I look into the mirror. My brown hair looks sad without any special treatment I normally give it. "This will have to do." I nod and walk out of the bathroom.

My clothes sit on my unmade bed. A red blouse and a skirt that goes to my knees. Quickly discarding my clothes I yank and toss on my new pair of clothes on to my slim but curvy body. I walk to my human sized mirror and take a quick look before grabbing my heals and slipping them on.

I leave my room closing the door behind me. I fast walk down my flight of stair nearly falling a couple of times and come into the dark kitchen. Navigating my way around through memory I grab an apple take a bite, and walk around my counter and to the living room.

I hear slight snores coming from my father. I look over the couch and see him sprawled across it. He seems so calm. I shake my head at myself nothing about my dad is calm.

I lean over the couch and grab his cover that are throw to his feet and lay them onto his cold body. I kiss him on the head and smile. "Bye dad see you later." I get a solid grunt and a silent 'love you'. I roll my eyes and back away from the couch and grab my keys and walk out the door.

I make it to my car when I remember something so extremely important to my job. My case files. I groan in frustration and mumble cuss words to myself. I run back inside the house and run up my flight of stairs passing by family portraits of me and my dad. I run into my room and look at my desk and there sits four fat stacks of cases. I quickly slide them off the table and hold them in my hand tightly. I start my process of leaving all over again by closing my door running down the stairs almost falling twice and yelling at my dad saying 'bye'. I was so lost in my thoughts I forgot that an apple was still in my hands.

I walk outside and feel the cold air that I know it will be warm and hot later on and walk back to my car. I unlock my car and carefully toss my files to the passengers side. I take one last look around me and then pop myself into my car. I put my keys into the ignition and twist them. My car roars to life. I close my eyes taking the roar in. I love my Mustang.

I peel out of my drive way and speed off towards the now busy city.

The office is buzzing into action clients here and there. There is no way Max will notice that I was late. I look at my clock on my phone and it reads ten. Only an hour. I'm only an hour late. I inwardly groan. I run to my office and before my hand even touches the handle the one voice I didn't want to hear booms through the office.

"Ms. Hart! You're late!" I literally jump when I hear the Max Henderson's voice.

"Sorry sir. I over slept." Everyone stops and looks at me then at Max.
