Sarah woke up the next day with a pounding headache. Something didn't feel right, but she told herself she was just tired from the party. Carl wasn't in bed next to her and she was worried at first, till she remembered she had locked the door.
'Suppose I should get up then. That pain in the ass will want breakfast!'
She got out of bed and realised she was still in her costume from the night before.
When she had picked it out, she thought it would be such a great costume. It reminded her of a dream she had long ago…but when she was getting ready for the party, she regretted her choice. It was a stupid dream after all, and one that would never be true…
She stripped off the costume and threw it in the bin. She didn't want it anymore. She wouldn't need it again. 'A shower will make me feel better!' She thought, turning the dials and checking it wasn't too hot. She stepped under the warm cascade and tried to relax. Needless to say, it didn't really work!

"Im going to work!" Sarah shouted up the stairs. Carl hadn't been down for breakfast and she wasn't about to fall straight into his hands. He would be like this for a few days she guessed; sulking and not really talking to her, all because she didn't stay down for the party. "I'll be back at five-ish!" She waited for a reply but when none came she just left.

Authors note: Enterprise PLC is where I went for work experience, but it was a while ago now so I cant really remember what it was about. I just used the name cos it's a company name and it came to my head straight away. Anyway, on with the story!

At work Sarah would go through the same dreary things as every other day. She was a secretary at one of the big offices in town so the money was ok, the job was just boring. It was the same things everyday; answer phones, ask people to sign in and out, sort the mail, deliver the mail, do errands for people, show people round the building. It was a boring job, that she only got because Carls Father was the head of the company. She would see him every so often around the building and she would put on a fake smile. He didn't know it was fake of course, she had the same smile for everyone.
Including Carl.
The phone was ringing as she got to her desk so she quickly picked it up, trying to sound like she hadn't just run from the bus. "Good morning, Enterprise PLC, Sarah speaking, how can I help?" She shrugged her coat off and listened to what the person on the other end was talking about. They wanted to speak to someone who could advice them about buying a new house.
"Right ok, well Ill just see if our head of department for housing is free, if not Ill hand you over to one of her colleagues. "
She put him on hold and dialled the number. Almost immediately, Anna picked up.
"Good morning Saz!" She said, using her nickname for Sarah. No one else was allowed to call her Saz, or Anna would go mental. It was the same for Anna's nickname.
"Morning Anna Banana!"
"Got someone for me already?"
"Yeah, shall I hand him over now or are you busy?"
"Go on then, hand him over"
Sarah clicked a button and transferred the call. When she had started working here 2 years ago, she had found it so hard to get used to how things worked. So many times she had just hung up on people when trying to transfer them to someone else! It was a nightmare, but she found her feet eventually and it became a lot easier. Now she didn't even have to think about it, she just did it automatically.
None of the other girls from reception were there yet, so Sarah had to take all their calls till they showed up. It didn't surprise them that she was early.
"Got you a coffee Sarah babes" Leticia said as she sat down, handing Sarah the steaming cup.
"Thank you! Ive been dying for one for ages, didn't have mine before I left this morning so Im half asleep!" She said, taking a sip.
"You never have your coffee before you leave, we know everything Sarah!" Bryony laughed from her desk.
"Yeah that's true" Sarah laughed back.
They all turned to their desks and Leticia started looking through her company inbox.
"Hey, have you two got an email from the boss, something about a party?"
Sarah and Bryony loaded up their emails and had a look.
"Yeah I have"
"Me too"
"You going?"
"Dunno"
"Might do, are you?"
"Yeah probably"
Sarah was only half listening to her friends talking. She was too busy looking at the pile of Letters in front of her.
The top letter, the first one she could see, was addressed to her.
The old Sarah. Sarah Williams.
She picked up the letter and slipped it under her top before getting up and heading to the toilets. Once there, she locked herself in a cubicle and took the letter out again.
'I recognise that handwriting. But it cant be! Can it?'
Carefully, so she didn't tear the envelope, she opened it and unfolded the paper inside.
Sarah,
I knew it wouldn't take you long to read this. I know what you like and the first thing you will have noticed was you REAL name written on here. I don't know why you changed it. But anyway, that's not what I wanted to say.
Ive been watching you for a while now, and I can see your not happy. Don't even try to pretend anymore cos you know I can see right through you and I know your not. That boyfriend of yours is nothing but trouble, and I know what he has done to you! Please, just see that you are worth more and leave. You will find somewhere else, someone else. You deserve better Sarah, and you know you do.
Sending you all my love.
