I’ve never been so nervous before. First, I was nervous because I didn’t have a job and now I’m nervous because I do have a job. I’m actually grateful to come home to my own apartment and have some time to myself as well as some peace and quiet. But between worrying about my first day and stressing over Lila, I’m pretty damn close to a nervous breakdown.

Something needs to give and I would prefer if it was the situation with Lila considering I would like to keep my new job. As long as everything goes well tomorrow, that is. I toss and turn in bed. If I’m not wondering how my first day of work goes, then I’m trying to come up with a way to get Lila out of our lives. I’ve reached my limit when it comes to her. She’s toxic to our lives. It’s obvious that when something is toxic, you get rid of it. But I have to figure out how to do so with FC’s approval.

I may also feel a little guilty for not feeling guilty about keeping the news of my new job to myself. I’m just too nervous. I want to make sure everything goes well and that it looks like I won’t fuck up enough to lose it so soon.

Morning comes and I’m so tired from constantly waking up from an unruly sleep. Putting on a pair of scrubs feels like putting on my favorite pair of pajamas that went missing for a long time. Who knew a simple uniform would feel more like armor than just a pair of scrubs. I actually feel a little like my old self again. Some of my anxiety fades away, but not all of it.

I’m driving to my new place of work when I get a call from FC.

“Hey,” I answer.

“Hey. How are you doing this morning?”

“Good. I’m on my way to work.” I pause. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about that. I’ve had anxiety and I wanted to make sure it goes well first.”

“Don’t worry about it. I just wanted to check in on you and wish you a good first day. Call me when you get off, okay? Tell me how it goes.”

“I will.” Something feels off between us, but I don’t have time to think about it. We have to hang up because FC is nearly to work and so am I.

My first week is going to mostly involve me sticking to a co-worker to learn the ropes of the facility, how the people operate, and always have someone nearby in case I have a question. My boss meets with me as well. He seems super nice, even with his no-nonsense attitude. I’m paired with a guy named Teddy for the day and I have a feeling I’ll like him, too. He’s probably in his early thirties with a little bit of a beard, a fit body, and he’s on the shorter side.

We have lunch together, which goes well too.

“Where did you work before this?” Teddy asks me.
