I put my work bag on the floor, kicked my worn out sneakers off and bent down to pet him. "Someone missed mommy." He purred as I gently ran my fingers through his hair. "So Elliot wants to set me up with someone." I picked him up and carried him to the kitchen counter.

"I just.. I want real love. I'm sick of being broken and alone." I turned the tap on just enough to let little droplets drip out. Charlie loved drinking from the tap, I didn't care and since no one other than Elliot came over and he thought it was cute, I let him do whatever he wants.

"I love you too little guy, but this is different." He gave me a look, like he was saying Then do something about it. As bizarre as it sounds but this cat knew me better than most. I might be talking to a cat but he answers me, and always greets me when I come through the door.

What was I going to do about my life. I leaned against the island and looked around the room. My eyes landed on a black guitar case, leaning up in the corner. How long has it been since I've played that old thing? That Andy girl hated it, I'd spend all my time playing and writing and 'not paying attention to her'. I walked over to the case and dusted it off. I unclasped it and pulled out my old friend. Throwing the strap around my arm I strummed a few notes and I instantly felt better. Charlie came over and ran his head against the wood and meowed.

"I missed it too buddy, I missed it too." I said while scratching his head.

I spent a few hours playing old songs that I had written and a few I just loved to play. The beeping of the drying caught my attention, notifying me that it was time to flip my laundry. I fumbled with the hamper seeing as it was almost as big as me. I somehow manged to trip through the doorway to my laundry room, spilling clothes all over the floor. I'm such a fucking klutz. After I finally switched the loads of laundry I decided it was time to sleep. I brush my teeth and take my meds before grabbing Charlie and heading off to bed.

I was awoken suddenly by the ringing of my phone alarm. I shut it off and sat up, stretching my arms and removing the sleep from my eyes. "Come on Charlie, let's go get you some food and coffee for me. A lot of coffee."

I guzzled back two cups of mediocre coffee, at least it was better than the diner coffee. That shit tastes like it was filtered through old gym socks.

I looked at the clock on the stove. 7:04. "Time to get cleaned up I guess" I said to an empty apartment.

I jumped into the shower to wash off the grime from the day before. As I ran shampoo filled hands through my hair I started to cry. For no apparent reason tears flowed freely. I rinsed my hair and just let my feelings run wild. What happened to me? I remember how I was once happy and bubbly, I guess life has just weighed on me. Maybe planing music again would help.

Elliot knocked on my door at exactly eight. I opened the door and he walked in carrying Chinese.

"Oh my god, I was craving lemon chicken." I grabbed us some napkins and drink while he opened all the boxes.

"I know I am amazing." He sat in the chair opposite of me and grabbed a box. "So can I set you up with someone or no?"

I swallowed my food and took a sip of water. "Fine. But I'm setting you up too."

"Deal." He stuck his hand out and we shook on it. What the hell did I get myself into? I barely know anyone, let alone someone to go out with him.

We cleaned up after our dinner and got ready for work together. I was getting excited for some unknown reason. I hated this job with a fiery passion. I'm probably just excited about getting some time off.

My phone alarm signalled us that it was time to leave and start another night in hell. I grabbed my bag and said good bye to Charlie, grabbing my guitar on the way out.

"So it was you playing earlier." Elliot commented on my extra baggage.

"Yeah. I missed it." I hid my smile from him, not wanting him to tease me about it.

In a split second his arms we around me. "Good because I missed you." He said with an excited tone.
