After leaving the orphanage Mavis and I went to another grocery store and bought more non perishable food and dropped it off at 3 homeless shelters.
I was tired and I slept on my couch. The next morning I got up, took care of my hygiene stuff and put on some black tights a white top and a red blazer, and black pumps then grabbed a granola bar and left.
I got to work 15 minutes early and went online to check out some new apartments. I was able to find two that I loved. It wasn't that far from from my job and was close to Mavis and all my other friends. Whichever one I chose I knew that it would be a great place. I made an appointment to check out the places today after work because it would only be around 6. I even sent a quick text to Mavis to tell her to meet me at the first apartment because I need someone who knows me well.
I started working on my bosses schedule and making sure everything that was planned for today was confirmed.
Then walked in the devil (aka my boss) He was looking mean with his briefcase in one hand and his coffee in the other.
He was around 50 and mean. He and his wife were filing for divorce because he was caught having an affair with his trainer who happens to be 32. The ironic part was his name Mr. Good. He was an absolute ass.
The other week he made fun of a pregnant woman and called her fat! He had no room to be talking he was short fat and bald. Imagine Danny Devito but fatter about 50 pounds fatter and uglier. That's what Mr. Good looks like.
"Azalea, it's nice to have you back" Mr. God said with a curt nod.
"Good to be back sir, you have a meeting with the head of the marketing department in 10 minutes, I put all the folders needed on top of your desk" I said politely.
"Ok" the devil said before walking away.
I proceeded to do my job which consisted of me making copies of important files, making appointments, and creating the schedule for the next three weeks. I also had to type up notes from the last few meetings and put them in files. Other than hearing the usual office gossip my day was uneventful because we still had that deadline to meet in about 2 weeks and nothing seemed to please the devil.
After work Mavis and I went to check out the 2 apartments. The first one was nice but the closet space was terrible. Everything looked bigger online than it actually was in real life. The second one was perfect. The space was big and the closet space was great I could tell it was made for a girl because even the bathroom closet was big!
I immediately signed the lease and decided that I would move in as tomorrow since it would be Saturday and I wouldn't be working I could go over my parents place and get all the things that I ordered. They had called me earlier in the day complaining about how much stuff I bought.
The owner of the building was very nice and decided to even help me move in. He told me that it was just what he does for all the other tenants but still I wish all my other landlords were as nice. The building even had security cameras everywhere and had a lock on the front door so that anyone couldn't just walk in. I felt very safe now and I felt that I was moving on from Thomas and what he did.

2 weeks later
I had moved into my new apartment but I was feeling weird. I had been throwing up constantly and I didn't even know what was wrong. At first I thought that it was because of bad food I ate but it's been going on for some days. Mavis and my other bestie Alex (she's a flight attendant so I don't see her a lot) came over my house and even brought a pregnancy test. I of course had told them about the one night I had with Kostas, so they could be right.
After peeing on the stick and waiting for ten minutes the stick said I was pregnant. I didn't believe it so I took 3 more and it all had the same outcome! I sat on the floor and cried.
"Well at least you know why you're feeling this way hun" Alex said.
"Yeah, don't cry you have us" Mavis said.
"But I don't know how I'm suppose to take care of this child I'm only 27 and I don't even know where it's father is." I wailed.
"Are you sure it's not Tom's baby?" Alex asked.
"Yes I'm sure, I hadn't seen Tom for a while and whenever I would be home he would be asleep, we haven't had s*x in over two months" I cried.
"Do you want to have the baby though?" Mavis asked.
"Yeah I'm not having an abortion!" I said.
I have no clue what I'm doing with my life but I need to get my life together for the sake of this baby.
