Chapter 62

JESSICA

I watched the clocks in my bedroom tick by, their synchronized sounds like music to my ears, it brought back memories both the ones I wished to relive and forget.

“I'm bored,” I said to no one in particular, staring up at the ceiling like a lost fool in search direction.

Maybe I was, maybe that was why I was so eager to go on this vacation with Amelia.

So I could finally have a breather from the weight of everything and everyone.

I've been a doctor before I even had the chance to decide what I wanted for myself and now, after close to fifteen long years of studying to become one…I have a whole month off.

A whole fucking month!

And who better to spend it with, than my only true friend Amelia.

Sometimes I wondered if she needed the break more than I did. The woman never did seem to catch a break.

This would be good for us, that I was certain of.

I turned to look at my already packed bags and a smile stretched my lips, child-like excitement blooming in my chest.
