"Emery!" I hear Jessica's voice yelling out to me, as she's shoving me to wake up.

"Emery come on get up, you're going to be late for work," she scowled.

Rolling over on top of my stomach, I grabbed my pillow and buried my head underneath it. "Please Jess... just a few more minutes," I begged.

"No Em, get up now!" she snapped, as she grabbed my pillow and threw it to the bottom of the bed.

"Alright, I'm up I'm up..." I mumbled, as I sat up leaning back against the headboard. Rubbing at my eyes, I glanced over at the clock and it was 8:32 a.m.

"Ugh! I have to be at work by 9..." I began to panic.

"Adams is going to kill you," she warned.

"I know, I forgot to set my alarm," I replied.

I started to panic, as I grabbed my towel to wrap it back around me from unraveling in the middle of my sleep. Jumping out of the bed I ran past Jess heading for the bathroom. As I scrambled around looking for my toothbrush and face towel, I couldn't help but think about Adam, Jess was right, he was going to kill me.

After freshening up, I ran back to my room to get dressed. Racing over to the closest I pulled out a numerous amount of clothing, trying to find something to wear. I came across a pair of black jeans, a red flannel shirt and brown rusty looking boots. "This will have to do..." I said out loud to myself.

Quickly I threw everything on as my stomach began to feel like a tight knot. Pulling my hair back into a ponytail, I grabbed my jacket and flew down the stairs to the kitchen. I could see Jessica out of the corner of my eyes shaking her head, while she sat at the dining room table working on her schoolwork.

Scrounging around looking for something to take, I opened the refrigerator grabbing for the half empty carton of apple juice, and a muffin that was off to the side on the countertop. "See you later Jess!" I yelled out.

"Wait Em, that was my..."

And before she could finish her sentence, I darted out of the kitchen and headed for the front door.
