Losing Control Gotcha!

Hazel

Here's your pizza! Enjoy.

Hazel

Customer

Thank you.

*Let's out a tired sigh*

My shift is finally over, but my neck hurts so bad.

*Removes apron*

*Rotates head side ways to get some relief*

Kelsey

You should take a few more days off.

Kelsey

*Hands over my hoodie, with a concerned look*

Hazel

It's fine. I'll be bored at home anyway.

Kelsey

Don't be too hard on yourself Hazel. I know it's really hard for you.

Hazel

It's hard indeed. I'm not gonna lie. But, being busy really helps.

*I put on my hoodie*

Kelsey

Why don't you come over to my place for a few days? I really don't want you to stay alone at your home.

Hazel

I really want to be alone for a while. I'll definitely come over after this phase.

*Put on my backpack*

Kelsey

You're making me worried.

Kelsey

*Sighs*

Hazel

Don't worry. It's not like I'm alone all the time. I go to college in the morning, then study for a really short time and then off to work. It's almost midnight by the time I get back home everyday.

Kelsey

Alright. Alright. I won't force you. But please take care.

Kelsey

*Pulls me into a hug*

Hazel

I will ma'am.

*I Hugged her back*

Kelsey

Okay. Be safe on your way back.

Kelsey

*Pulls off from the hug*

Hazel

Yep. Bye-Bye Kels.

Kelsey

See you tomorrow.

Finally off the work. What a hectic shift it was!

*Starts walking to the way back home*

Home. It doesn't even feel like home anymore.

*Pulls the sleeves to cover the palms from the cold*

*Rubs the arms briskly*

I feel so cold, both on the outside and inside.

Tears formed at the corner of my eyes. I tried my best not to break down.

Lonliness is pain. Busyness is like a pill. It can only take away the pain for a period of time. Once the effect of the pill fades away, the pain comes back.

*Street light suddenly starts to flicker*

My body jerked a bit.
