It was starting to get closer to Halloween and I had ordered a costume 2 weeks prior, the sad thing was that no trick or treaters came to my home because it was in a apartment building. I figured I'd throw a Halloween party seeing as it'd be the last holiday I'd be in town for before I leave for collage, I didn't really know who to invite seeing as I didn't have many friends and Sally moved to another state for collage.
I invited Liam, Lilah and Madison so far. All of which accepted the invite, there was about a week left till the party so I decided to try and make some new friends for the party. I walked to work and got to work on sitting things up with Lilah, me and Lilah had actually become friends now.Liam walked through the door the second we opened as usual, I figured I'd ask him if he wanted to invite any of his friends for the party. "Hey Liam, wanna invite your friends for my costume party? Since right now there's only going to be 4 people there." As Liam passed me the cash for his drink to put in the register he responded. "I suppose I could, but I need more details for the party. Like will there be drinks and what kind, food etc." I hadn't thought much about these things but now I got some ideas."Well nothing alcoholic, I'm too young to buy it anyways. Probably just party snacks for food, and back to drinks I'll have grape juice, water, sweet tea and some other juice's. Sound good?" Liam nodded. "Alrighty I'll invite them then." After Liam left Lilah looked over towards me."What's it like dating Liam?" She asked with a straight face. "Its great, he's so nice and supportive, perfect really. Why?" Lilah smiled with a sweet and gentle smile. "No reason really, just wanted to back sure that you were happy." She then shifted towards the costumer who walked through the door.I'm glad that Lilah didn't hate me as much anymore, as the day went on I started to think about weather or not Liam's friends would want to show up for my party.Soon enough my shift was over and I headed home when I got home my costume has arrived so I went and tried it on, It was pretty much just a maid dress with wolf ears but I thought I looked dapper for real. The only reason I bought the ears was because I was just a straight up weeb, but the outfit looked cute.After that I went and got my dinner, after eating I started to plan out what snacks I'd make for the party as well as decorations around my apartment. After I finished mapping things out I went to bed, but I couldn't fall asleep so I got back up and went to play games on my computer.The next day I woke up at my computer, seems like I feel asleep at my computer again. I went and took a shower to get ready for work, every day leading up to the party was the same old same old.But before I knew it, it was the day for the party. I started working on all the decorations and snacks I set the table with fall leaves and other decorations, the party started at 4:30 pm tonight. As it started to near the starting time I went and changed into my costume I also put some really cute pins in my hair for aesthetic.At 4:00 pm Liam showed up to help out with anything that I might need, his costume was a nice vampire costume. Being a vampire was kind of like a basic thing to do but his costume looked nice. As everything got set up and the time came to 4:30 Madison showed up with Lilah beside her.Madison was wearing a Rapunzel costume and Lilah was in a snow white costume, they were both extremely cute! As they walked on I started hearing more knocks on the door, I figured that these were Liam's friends. When I opened the door a whole group of people men and women walked in, their costumes were really nice and they were polite. I'm guessing that these might be some people from Liam's job, also known as his friends.As the party started everyone was eating and talking, everything was perfect. That is until I noticed that someone had brought a bottle of alcohol, and people had started drinking. That wasn't good because I wanted things to be tame and I didn't want anything to happen to my house, Luckily no one got drunk before Liam took away the alcohol.The party was so much fun and I met some new people, and even ended up exchanging phone numbers with a few of them. Things went smoothly, but when the party was in full swing I heard glass shatter at the other end of my home. I ran quickly to go and investigate.When I made it to where I heard the glass shatter I saw one of Liam's friends standing over Madison who had thrown a glass cup at him and in the process fell over, before I could say a word the man reach down towards Madison and she quickly started to try and crawl away.At this point a crowd had gathered around until Liam came out of no where and punched the guy, it sent him flying backwards. Luckily my wall was okay, when I looked back towards Liam who rushed over to Madison and asked her what happened. Everyone gasped when Liam punched him and started to whisper to each other, this party was a disaster!After I exited my shocked phase I ran towards Liam and Madison to see what happened, apparently someone did get drunk and tried to get Madison to go home with him but she refused and he kept pushing so she threw the glass at him. But on the side of that guy he actually ended up getting knocked out by the punch, so everyone just continued the party until he woke up and someone drove him home.As everyone left the party but Liam and Madison who stayed to help clean up I couldn't help but feel like the party was a mess, Liam hummed a happy tune while he cleaned up and so did Madison. The work was done in no time with the help that I received, although soon Liam and Madison had to go home.After they left I went to my bedroom to play a game on my computer but when I opened it up and started my game I coughed a bit and when I looked at my computer there was blood sprayed across it. I put my fingers to my lips and looked at them, did I just cough up blood? I thought to myself as I stared down at my fingers, I knew that my health was getting worse but not this bad.I stumbled away from my computer to where my phone was, my hands were shaking and my body was trembling. I was so scared, I tried to start taking care of myself, to stop cutting myself but it was too hard. I failed, I thought as I started to get dizzy.My phone seemed so far away when I suddenly collapsed, I tried to crawl across the floor but it was too late. My vision went black. Next thing I knew I was awake on my bedroom floor, I reached towards my phone as regained consciousness. I went to call Lilah first since it was Friday and I didn't know how long it would take me to get into work today.After I made the call to Lilah I pulled my self up using my bed as leverage, I grabbed my normal work clothes and took a shower. I knew that I would need to start taking care of myself better soon or it could really come back to bite me later.I got ready and put some pins in my hair for aesthetic of course, I grabbed a quick granola bar for breakfast and dashed out the door. I ran to work to make sure I was there on time, I should really buy some sort of faster transportation then my legs sometime.As I ran through the door of the coffee shop Lilah looked over at me and waved to behind the counter. "So-sorry I'm.....late." I breathed out quickly as I caught my breath. "It ok just get this apron on and get to work." She said handing me my apron.We often switched who did what every day so she put me on the counter duty while she worked on the drinks, Work was a breeze today but I couldn't help but think about the events of last night. Weather it be about the party or about the blood it was still terrible, I believe that my job as an assassin is wearing on my mental health in ways it shouldn't.But none the less I couldn't quit my job as a assassin, it payed the bills and was going to pay for my collage. I had a lot of money saved up but I still couldn't simply just quit, as I thought about everything Lilah snapped me out of my trance. "Costumers." She whispered pointing to the people walking through the door.I took their orders while Lilah made them. After my shift ended I went home, my apartment seemed quieter then usual. Even the light coming through the windows seemed dull, I went on my phone and looked up healthy recipes that I could try out. I found some nice recipes and started to try cooking them.As I was cooking the doorbell ringed, I ran to the door and opened it up. Standing there was Madison, I wasn't expecting her at all today, she walked in and closed the door as I rushed back into the kitchen."Something smells good." Madison said following me into the kitchen. "Yeah, I'm trying to be healthier. So this is a new recipe." I said as I took the rice out of the rice cooker. "Looks good, sooo the reason why I'm here is to apologize for breaking one of your glasses yesterday." I looked over at her and smiled. "Its fine, it was for self defense!"She smiled and looked at me again. "Do you think you could teach me some fighting moves?" Her question really sparked my fighting side, I needed to train some too so why not. "Sure! Of course I can teach you." She tossed me a dress and I barely caught it. "Put that on, I wear dresses and skirts most the time so its best if I learn wearing one." She said pointing to her own dress.I nodded and went into my bathroom to put it on, when I came out I cleared a space in the living room and we stood side by side as I showed her some punches and kicks. I also showed her how to do self defense and keep safe in case of emergency, she caught on pretty quickly and was able to do all of them in about 2 hours of training with posture and form included.After that we went into my kitchen and both ate some of what I made for my dinner since we were both tired and hungry. "Do you have to be home by a certain time?" I asked as Madison stuffed her face. "Yeah but Liam should be back in a bit to pick me up." She said checking the time on her watch."Mkay." I responded as we sat and ate, soon enough like expected Liam showed up to pick up Madison. After she left I went inside to do my workouts and clean the dishes, I was starting to feel better after doing everything today. It seemed like my plan was working, before I laid down for bed I looked over at my knife sitting on the nightstand I turned over in my bed in order to ignore it and sleep.
