Work has been dragging ass all day. I feel like I’ve looked at the clock over a million times already. I’m to the point I want to walk into the office and tell Jim I feel sick, that I need to go home, and then I could call Brooke. I could tell her I’m sick. She’ll come to my house again.

“Cole! What the hell, man?” Jim yells and I realize I’ve done it again.

“I’m so sorry.” My bottle count is quickly growing. “I’ll pay for them.”

“Is everything okay, Cole?” Jim asks, “You’ve been off the last few weeks.” He isn’t angry, more concerned.

“Yes, sir. I’ve just had a lot on my mind lately. I’ll replace them. I could even work extra, if you want.” I feel terrible. I need to be focused when I’m here. This isn’t fair to Jim.

“How about you take the rest of the day off. Pick your check up on your way out.” Jim walks toward the office.

Do I still have a job? What the hell just happened? I walk into the office and see Maggie standing in the doorway with her back to me. I bolt into the men’s bathroom to avoid her. I’m not sure why, because I can’t hide in here all day. I need to get out of here and see if I still have a job, grab my check, and then be on my way to Brooke’s office. I don’t have time for this shit.

After several minutes, I no longer hear her annoying voice. I open the door slightly and poke my head out. I don’t see anyone at all. It’s kind of strange. Where did everyone go? I take a deep breath and brace myself as I come out of hiding in the men’s room.

I round the corner and see Jim standing outside with his slutty sister, Maggie. If she didn’t try so desperately hard with the pound of make-up, bleach blonde hair, and clothing that is two sizes two small, she’d be pretty. It’s all so unattractive paired with the wedding ring she’s wearing.

“Jim, can I speak with you in your office?” I walk past her as she attempts to give me a hug. Why the hell would I hug this woman? She has enough perfume on to last a month in that blouse that reveals too much.

“What’s up, Cole? I thought you’d gone home already.” He narrows his eyes.

“Well, I’m concerned. Do I still have a job here?” I brace myself.

“Of course, you do, Cole. I’ve said accidents happen. Just try not to have so many of them, okay?” He chuckles and pats me on the back. “Now go home and get your head on straight. I’ll distract my sister.” He nods, rolling his eyes as he opens the door for me. “Go.”

I nod my respect and rush past him, bolting for the door. I hear her say something, but I’d left too quickly to catch it. Jim’s a good guy and I have to do better for him.
