Chapter 1: The Journey Home

Lazily stepping off the bus, Neela makes her way home with only one thing in mind. Sleep. Sighing, she stops to grab her mail and reluctantly continues her seemingly long journey. She's standing a foot in front of her door, juggling her purse in one arm, mail in the other and a coffee cup dangling from her lips, while struggling to find her keys. Though she suddenly finds herself thrown off balance,with her coffee cup flying from her mouth spilling it's contents halfway down the hall. Glaring through her apartment door she begins to hear an all-to-familiar raspy voice singing from inside.

I've been thinkin' how we used to be before
Now that I've been sleeping all alone
It's kinda funny but I thought I'd miss it more
But instead I'm sleeping like a stone

She rests her head against the door and shuts her eyes.

So much for my much needed sleep tonight…

Sighing in defeat, she reaches for the door handle and slowly pushes it open. She wearily glances around the apartment, taking in the mess that stood in front of her.

I knew I was going to regret this…

Well, I'll be honest cuz it hasn't been easy
Getting out into the unknown
Every time I start to feel a bit queasy
I remember to unplug the phone


Authors Note: I got bored this morning and just went with it. I probably won't continue. This song is called Average Jo by Jonny Was -Shane West's band in real life.
