Midtown West New York

Guilt

Love

Hatred

Happy

Anger

Nauseous

Disgust

The second I got here I was flooded with emotions. I felt every single person. Too many feelings being pushed around the busy crowd. Stepped out of the airport I look around. I grab onto the pole for stability.

"I need a cab..." I grab on the railing and find a familiar yellow car. I get in and tell him my new address.

After 45 min in traffic

Anger

Worry

Annoyance

"Holy hell this city is... hell..." I hold my head. Maybe this place wasn't a good idea... after coming from upstate New York I chose to come down close to Manhattan.

"Funny you say that, this place is also known as Hell's Kitchen." The cab driver laughs. I look at him and roll my eyes. Yeah I wonder why.

"You know I think it's not to far here just take the cash I need some air." I pass him $25 and take my two suitcases out the backseat and grab my back pack. I thank him and shut the door.

The sounds of honking drown the emotions allowing me to gain control again.

"Hello I'm here to pick up my keys. The name is Sammy. Sammy roads." I smile at the person in front of the desk. The man smiles and walked around the desk walking me to the Appartment, on the way up two flights of stairs he talks about rules and who to call if there is an issue.

"So this place is really called Hells kitchen? What is that supposed to be a name? It makes this place sound so unappealing." I dropped my suit cases on the floor. I grabbed the keys from my new landlord and smiled at him.

"Well we got tons of bars here, I can show you around if you would like?" He said as I pushed him out my door.

"Hmm I'm a little busy I'll get back to you when I'm done unpacking." I smile and close the door. I take a huge breath of relief as I'm finally in a somewhat quiet room. I look at the floor and see my bags, I wave my hand and both suit cases unravel bringing out my folded clothes and necessities. I flick my wrist to the light above turning it on. This place is small but it's just me and I'll be gone in 4 years so who cares.

"Okay so I need a bed... food... and towels." I remind myself and grab my new keys. I step out of my door and lock it with my new keys. I grab my purse to make sure my wallet and now keys are there. I shut it closed and walk down the stairs.

I head into a furniture place...

"Anything I can help you with?" An older woman asks and stands with me in front of a plane mattress and frame.

"How much is this?" I asked pointing to the set

"This set includes the mattress, frame, and comes with the bedding and totals $900" she smiled at me.

"Okay do you guys take cash?" I smile and pull out a wallet.

"Would you like it delivered? We also offer set up as well!" She smiled and I smiled back.

"It's okay. I got it." She looked at me weirded out.

"Oh okay would you like help putting it in your car?" She asked and I shook my head.
