A Day In The Life

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, sun shining and birds chirpping. She arrived home after an evening of being with friends-old and new. She takes off her makeup and then quietly undresses. She crawls into bed and is asleep in minutes.

Suddenly she is awakened by the sounds of screaming and yelling by the mistress of the house in the room next to hers. She lies there thinking to herself Oh My God what has he done now and Oh My God what has she done now. She was with the mistress the night before and she KNOWS that she was drinking. Knowing this she lies there awake thinking that this cannot be good.

She tires desparately to go back to sleep but to no avail. The screaming and yelling continues along with lots of profanity thrown in for good measure. She hears the phrases such as 'Your'e a physcho' from him and 'I'll kick your ass' from mistress and 'I'll call 911' from him. She also hears the mistress express her anger at her as well. She then hears kicking and crashing of household items. She is lying there thinking she has got to leave for a while and let things cool down.

She lies there until mid-morning. She finally realizes she is not going to get any sleep so she rises and logs onto her computer. She checks and responds to e-mails and does a little blogging when her cell phone rings. It is one of her dearest friends calling to say hello. She does not want to anger the mistress any further so she takes the call outside in the warm morning sun.

Her friend tells her that the closing on her new home is rapidly approaching. She is very pleased for her friend and offers her heartfelt congratulations. Her friend offers her a room in her new home. She pauses for a moment to think about it and graciously accepts the offer. They also talk about how much fun they had working together and all the late nights they spent in the office making sure all the things that needed to get done got done. They continued to make idle chit chat until they were rudely interrupted by the mistress.

She stands by the doorway in all her morning glory and with a brash and sassy attitude says

"If you are talking about my life you are out of here!"

She turns around and gives the mistress a look that says what she talks about is nobody's business. In a huff the mistress turns and goes back into the house. She ends her phone call with her beloved friend and then carefully goes back into the house.

She sees the mistress in the kitchen and asks "Why are you so angry at me?" The mistress yells at her "Shut the hell up." Being as tenacious as she known to be (which is her only mistake) she says, "You were talking trash about me and I want to know what I did to make you so angry." Having enough the mistress with lots of anger and rage yells at her, "Get your crap and get out of MY house NOW!"

The master hearing all this continues to sit there and does nothing as it is his custom to do when mistress gets like this. This infuriates her to the point of rage. She knew in the back of her mind that this was coming. She knows enough to know when the mistress gets like this everybody suffers. She does not care so much about herself, she is concerned for the others. This is now unfortunately their cross to bear. While she is preparing to leave, she plays the events over in her head for a few moments and comes to the conclusion that it is for the best.

After her car is packed, she talks to the master and asks him to come with her. He politely refuses. She gets into the car and starts to drive away. As she is driving she is thinking that the mistress will continue to blame her for several days on end. She thinks the next time the mistress needs only to look in the mirror to see who is really to blame. She will continue to care about them ALL, only now she will have to do it as she has always done-from a distance.
