This is it. My new beginning..

I walk into my new home and it clearly needs work but it'll do for now. I take my clothes out of my suitcases and start hanging everything into the closet. Taking pictures out of the boxes bring tears to my eyes but I push them away as i remind myself that I need a change.. I set the pictures on my desk. I make my way to the kitchen, "OH MY GOD" I scream and slam the fridge door shut.
        A fucking rat?! "You've gotta be kidding me" I say looking up to the big man up stairs who thinks my life is a damn joke...
    *KNOCK KNOCK*
I heard on my front door... I grimace wondering who the hell would be at my front door.... I don't know anyone here.
I open it a crack and see an elderly woman and gentleman standing there. "Hi, can i help you?" I ask hoping they will go away as soon as they came.
    "Honey are you okay? We heard you scream" the woman asked, embarrassed i put my hand to my face.
"I'm so sorry, there's a rat in my fridge" I give a small smile
"a rat?" The man said "uh, yes sir" i replied The woman gasped and put her hand to her chest. Quite dramatically might i add...
"Well! You need to let John get it out! How horrible, you're first day here and you have a rat in your house." I shake my head
"Oh, its okay i can get it! I don't want to bother you guys" John groaned
"I'm here i might as well. Where's your shovel?"

A shovel?.... Uhhhhhh shit..
"Well" i awkwardly giggled.. "I don't have one" John gave me a flat look
"You don't own a shovel?" Ummm definitely not what the fuck would i need one for john?!
    obviously to get rid of rats apparently.
"No sir.. I didn't think i would need one" I replied. He groaned again
"Ill be back." He turned and walked away
"Don't mind him... He's a big grump" she said putting her hand on my arm in a comforting manner. I smiled at her
"Would you like to sit down?" I asked mainly because I put my patio furniture out already.. She nodded and went over to the front of the porchI already know John is going to judge my house and i definitely don't need....
    "Im sorry i didn't ask your name?" She sits in the chair "Pamela, and you are?" Pamela... I don't need her to give me interior decorating advise.
"Spencer" I smile and shake her delicate hand. I heard John begin to walk up the porch steps..
"Really you don't have to do this" I begged him, not wanting him to go inside..
"You don't have a shovel." He deadpanned. I nod once
"Good point". So I showed him to the dead rodent in my kitchen.
"Love what you've done with the place." He said flatly.
"Yeah it definitely needs work" i laughed awkwardly. He opens my fridge and scoops the rat up and takes it out the front door, walks over to my fence that butts up to another couple sitting on their porch and chunks it into their lawn..

    "Damn it John! You fucking bastard!" The other elderly man yelled John stuck his middle finger up at him and walked away. I wave at the man
"Sorry!" I yelled, the man walked back to his wife while waving me off.. I feel Pamela touch my arm again
"They've been friends since high school." My brows shoot up in shock.
"Really?" She nods her head as John comes back.
"Let's go Pammy we can't be late" he said walking away from us
"Thank you John!" I yelled at him.. He waved with his back to me
"I think he likes you!" Pam said and she started to walk away
. "Oh!" She stopped walking and turned back to me "I forgot to tell you, since you don't have food in the house there's a bar in town that has the best burgers and wings in three counties. We are going to play bingo!" She gushed at the thought of it. I smiled at her giddiness.
"Ill think about it, thank you for offering" i say politely, she nodded and went back to her house..

They were nice. Well Pam was... John i think will warm up to me.. Hopefully cause if i find anymore rats or animals I'm going to him..

Hours pass and I'm still not done scrubbing this fridge.... My hair is thrown up in a loose bun with sweat starting to beam on my forehead...
And i can't get the thought of those wings out of my head.. I go to the bathroom and slightly tab my head and get the sweat off. I change my clothes and make my way to the only bar in town..

I open the big wooden door and as soon as i step inside all eyes are on me.. I give everyone a small "please don't look at me" smile and walk towards the bar. Once I sit down the bartender comes to me immediately
"what can i getcha?" I glance at the options of bottles behind her
"Vodka with ginger ale" I asked
"You got it". God i need that drink. I feel eyes on me still, i look over my shoulder and almost everyone is still staring at me
"Don't worry about them, they'll move on in 10 minutes" The bartender said to me as she set my drink down.
"You think so?" I said with a small laugh
"Oh yeah, I'm Taylor" she shakes me hand
"Spencer" She gives me a funny look "cute" she said quietly then handed me a menu and walked away.

    "Spencer!!!!" I heard someone yell, i look to my left and see a very drunk Pamela running at me.
"Hi!" I give her a big smile
"Oh i knew you'd come!" She gave me a hug startling me a bit.
"Pammy, leave the girl alone" I heard John say behind her.
"Oh hush! Spencer is my new friend! Right Spencer" God i have only had one sip of my drink.. Give me five more full ones and we can be besties Pam.
I nod "Of course!" Taylor came back and took my order for my food.
Fuck Im Starving.
    "Let's go home" John is practically carrying her out
"Do you need help?" I ask
"Nope" he said and walked out.
Ok.....
"So. Why did you move here?" Taylor asked when she brought my food out
"Im the new urgent care nurse" she starts to smile
"Huh...One Sec, Hey Harry! I found Mary's replacement!" She shouts to a man sitting on the end of the bar.
How did i not notice him.... He's gorgeous..
He looked at me and gave me a soft smile...
what the actual fuck this man is literally perfect.....
I smiled back then returning to my drinks and food....

"Damn" Taylor said under her breath practically reading my mind I laughed and continued to eat and drink many drinks..
