The Roommate Chapter 11 Teaser!

I sniffled as the cabbie rounded the corner to my apartment. I glanced at the clock and held back a sob. It desperately wanted to escape from my chest, from the very center of my heart. It was 12:01. My birthday was officially over. And I was alone.
 

“You okay sweetie?” The cabbie asked. He parked the car in front... of the apartment and turned around.
 

“Yes.” No. I handed him some cash. “Thank you.”
 

“You’re welcome.” He looked at me with sad eyes as I got out and wiped at my eyes. I could only imagine what I looked like right now. Puffy, red eyes. Tearstained cheeks. Makeup running all over my face. Sad, pathetic expression. Happy Birthday to me.
 

I looked up at the window the apartment and allowed a tear to slip down my cheek. This was far from how I imagined tonight going. Not. One. Bit.
