CHAPTER THIRTY

774 Words
AMELIA'S POV Today was my day off. Finally! After weeks of working and saving every little bit of money I could, I finally had enough to buy myself a car. I couldn't stop smiling whenever I thought about it. I was finally going to have my own car. No more struggling with public transportation. No more running after buses. No more standing under the hot sun waiting for a taxi. I was going to be a car owner. But before I went anywhere to look for a car, I decided to spend the day cleaning the house. My apartment seriously needed it. Unfortunately, I woke up pretty late. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Oh my God." I quickly sat up. I had slept way longer than I planned. I threw the blanket aside and jumped to my feet. Or at least, I tried to. The second I took my first step, my foot somehow slipped. "Ah!" Before I could figure out what was happening, I fell backward. BAM! My butt hit the floor. "OH MY GOD!" I screamed. I sat there for a few seconds, totally stunned. Then the pain kicked in. "My butt!" I rubbed the sore spot, tears forming in my eyes. "Why does this always happen to me?" I slowly pushed myself up. I stood there for a moment, making sure my legs were actually working. "Okay, Amelia. Be careful." I nodded seriously to myself. "Today is going to be a good day." I limped over to my wardrobe. Since I wasn't going to work, I decided to wear something comfortable. I picked out a simple mini gown and a pair of flat sandals. After laying out the clothes I was going to wear, I headed to the bathroom. I needed a shower before I started cleaning. Everything was going perfectly. At least, that's what I thought. I grabbed my soap and started bathing. Then suddenly— SPLASH! The soap slipped out of my hand and landed on the bathroom floor. I sighed. "Seriously?" I bent down to pick it up. The second my foot touched the soap, I knew I'd made a terrible mistake. "Wait—" My feet flew out from under me. "JESUS!" BAM! I landed on the bathroom floor. "AHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "I'm dead!" I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling. My whole body hurt. My butt hurt. My back hurt. Even my pride hurt. Tears rolled down my cheeks. "Why?" I cried. "Why does everything happen to me?" I slowly sat up and looked at the soap lying innocently beside me. I glared at it. "You." I pointed at it angrily. "You almost killed me." The soap, of course, stayed completely silent. I sniffed. "Don't think I'm forgiving you." After a few minutes, I finally managed to stand up. I carefully finished my bath, making sure I didn't step on anything else. When I came out of the bathroom, I looked around my apartment. The house was still waiting for me to clean it. I sighed. "Today was supposed to be my peaceful day." I put my hands on my waist. "But somehow, I've already injured myself twice." I shook my head. "Maybe I should just stay in bed." Then I remembered my car. A huge smile spread across my face. "No!" I couldn't waste the day. Today was the day I was going to start looking for my car. I had worked way too hard for that money. I carefully walked toward the living room. Very carefully. I wasn't taking any chances anymore. As I reached for my phone, I decided to text Karen. Amelia: "Hey, babe. I know you're busy right now, but you could at least have woken me up before leaving the house, you know. I have an appointment with the car dealer today." I sent the message and waited for her reply. KAREN'S POV I was warming up when my phone suddenly buzzed. I stopped and checked the screen. It was a message from Amelia. I smiled when I read it. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I quickly typed a reply. Karen: "I actually tried to wake you up, but you told me to let you sleep, which I did. So don't blame me for waking up late." I hit send and continued with my warm-up. I couldn't help but smile. Knowing Amelia, she was probably already running around the house, getting ready for her big day. She had been talking about buying a car for weeks. Today, she was finally going to do it.
