Finding You

Chapter One: The Introducion

My name is Aleyssa. Aleyssa Morgan. I'm 20 and I'm currently in my last year of school with nursing. I can honestly say I'm surprised I made it this far in pursuing my career in the medical field. I still have to earn my degree in science to be even promptly close to where I want to be but earning my Associate degree is a start.

I'm from a small town that no one hears about and is community based. Rarely anything happens here that's news worthy and everybody knows everybody so you can only imagine how much talk goes around and don't even get me started about the drama that surrounds our ole so small town. After getting my associate degree I plan to move to the City but for now I'm here.

June the 26th couldn't come any fast-...

I was knocked out of my thoughts by the sound of my professor calling my name.

I quickly snapped my head up to look at my professor who had a look of annoyance on her face. "Ms. Morgan if you're done day dreaming could you please pay attention and join me and the rest of the class".

I looked around and noticed everyone looking at me. Some with smiles and smirks on their face.

The fuck y'all staring for

I tend to "daydream" a lot and Mrs. King always seems to find the need to point it out every time I do. At first it was embarrassing but now it's just plain annoying. "Sorry Professor" I said in a low voice. She stared at me for a second before continuing her lesson.

                                        ♾

After leaving school I decided to go back to my apartment. It wasn't much but it was mine and I'm glad I could say that. After throwing down my bags and getting a little comfortable I flopped down on my couch and decided to call my mom.

I put my phone on speaker and listened to it ring. And ring . And ring. And ring some more before it finally sent me to voicemail. Now if I was to not answer the phone I'd have a whole search warrant out on my ass.

She'll call back

I let out a sigh and decided to watch a little bit of Netflix. I really don't get too many days like this to where I can just chill and relax. I work most of the time at my bullshit job but aye gotta pay the rent somehow. When I'm not working I'm out running errands or just taking care of personal stuff that needs to be done. I go to the gym almost everyday just to keep fit and in shape and I volunteer at the local nursing home when I can.

I know I may sound like the perfect saint but believe me I'm far from it. Not that I'm a bad person but let's just say I live life to the fullest and I believe in the phrase 'YOLO.

As I laid on the couch watching " On My block" my stomach started growling. I paused my show and went towards the kitchen looking for a snack. I opened my snack drawer and decided to go with a bag of BBQ chips.

I went back to lay on the couch and started back to watching my show when my phone lit up. I opened it and seen it was a message from my boyfriend Brian.

~Hey babe wyd?

I responded...

~ Just chilling watching some Netflix and you?

~ Just finished playing ball with the boys... Look about tonight

I picked up the phone and rolled my eyes in annoyance. He always does this recently and it's starting to make me suspicious.

~Again🙄

~I'm sorry baby something came up and I gotta cancel but I'll make it up to you I promise

'This WAS suppose to be you making it up to me'  I thought to myself before responding

~ What is it this time?

~Family emergency. My granddad isn't feeling too well so I'm going to go see him

See Brian isn't exactly from here. He stays about 2 hours away 2 cities over. He moved here with his parents when he was 17 and I've known him since he came here our senior year of high school. We were friends for a while but feelings got involved and we've been together since. Going on three years.

~Okay well send him my prayers and be safe. Oh and you better really make it up to me next time. I love you.

~I will I promise. Love ya too♥️.

Welp it looks like I'm free for tonight. I looked at the time and seen it was going on 6. Might as well get comfortable and order some pizza with wings and just chill. And I did exactly that...
