Evelyn( A Whirlwind Romance)

Chapter 12

I have heard stories about cruel bosses, but I didn't think I just put up for one; even on my first day, part of me has been regretting taking up this job. Hayden has been nothing but mean to me the seconds I got here.

I stomped my feet angrily immediately he left my office with a pile of documents.

Jerk! I muttered

How could he be so mean?

It's already 4:45 pm, and he just gave me a task that will take 30minutes of my time.

Thus is just so mean, if I didn't need the job, I would go back to his office and give him a piece of my mind before quitting.

I lowered myself on my chair and counted till ten

"Evelyn, breathe in, breathe out."

My subconscious cheered on

"Calm your nerves."

I picked up the files and started arranging until a beep of my phone caught my attention, it was a message from an unknown number with a strange message

"Evelyn"

I clicked on the SMS to read the test again

Whose number is this? And why is there only a single test in the message? I rub my palms on my skirt to keep it from sweating

My resolve starting to break apart

I hurried to Hayden's office to drop the file without saying anything further. I ran down the stairs in a bid to get away from everything. Today is already overwhelming as it is. I don't need any further problems.

I took a bus going to my home, but on my way, an idea popped up in my mind

How about you drink today away

I don't want to be reminded of everything I have been going through my whole life. I need a distraction, Yes. Alcohol would do

Driver!

Could you please stop at that turning?

I practically pleaded

Okay, ma'am, he nodded

I jumped out of the car as soon as the vehicle stopped

I walked into the bar with only one thing in mind

To get drunk and forget all my sorrows

Can I have two shots of tequila, please?

At your service ma'am, the lanky barman said, smiling at me; I could tell he is flirty. I ignored him and took a seat at the corner beside the entrance.

I kept ordering for shots until everything was starting to become blurry

I tried to get away so bad

I even took some drastic steps, yet they keep coming for me

They never left me alone for once; they have been my problem from day one

I know it is them again! I thought out loud with no care in the world

I think it is now a typical day to day activity for you to talk to yourself on a daily because people in this bar don't seem to mind, they just mind their business

Exactly

Why couldn't they leave me the hell alone

Why do I have to keep running from them every day

Why won't they stop haunting my dreams?

Evelyn!

Evelyn!

That was the last sane thing I heard before I surrendered to my inner demons
