The next week dragged. I mean, dragged! Working overnights
sucks. It sucks even more when you’re stuck working with people you don’t
necessarily care for. Alice was working days and Angela was out of town for some
family thing with her cousin who was graduating from college or something in
the Pacific Northwest. I was paired up with Jessica, Lauren and another one of
their cronies, a new nurse named Britney. Now, Lauren ignored me for the most
part. Jessica and Britney were being bitchy and mean to me.
Couple that with working overnight when you should be
sleeping and you’ve got a miserable situation.
Suffice it to say, I journaled a lot while I worked my stint
of overnights.
I dragged my body home after my fifth consecutive overnight
shift and I was half-asleep, wanting nothing more than to go to bed for an
entire day. I prayed that they were not doing any work on James’ apartment
because I fucking needed sleep.
As I walked toward my apartment, I noticed Jasper standing
outside of my apartment building. He was smoking and pacing in front of the
main entrance. What does he want? I wanted to turn around and head to Edward’s
home, to avoid the confrontation with Jasper. Much to my dismay, he saw me and
stomped out his cigarette, jogging over to me.
“Hey Bella,” he said somberly.
“Hi,” I said curtly. “What do you want, Jasper?”
“Can we talk?” he asked, nervously twisting his hands.
GAH!! cruel cruel teasing woman!!
