Falling Angels

Claire's POV
I woke up and looked around. For a moment I was confused, but then I remembered where I was before and the details of the night before. Sinking back into my bed, I tried to fall back into oblivion. After a few minutes I surrendered to the morning light streaming through my window. 'What time is it?' I thought. The alarm clock in my nightstand told me 9:47 am. Groaning, I crept to the guest bathroom to relieve myself and freshen up. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. After brushing my hair, I decided to let my hair hang loose while it dried. My hair dryer was too bulky to fit in my backpack. Sighing, I hoped that Andy would sleep in. My hair drys wavy, but I straighten it because my hair looks better straight. That's what Chase told me. Not that I cared any more. It had just become a part of my daily hair routine. I pulled on some ripped black skinny jeans and a My Chemical Romance t shirt. To finish up the look, I put on some black eyeliner, mascara, and tinted lip balm. I usually don't get ready right after I wake up, but I had to leave. Andy was nice and I would stay with him forever if I could but I didn't want to be a burden. When I walked past Andy's room on my way downstairs I heard soft snoring and I knew my wish had been granted. I wasn't hungry yet so I sat down on a loveseat in the living room and googled apartments available for rent in LA. After about an hour of internet surfing, I settled upon a cheap studio apartment. It would do until I got a job and I could afford a better apartment. Plus, it wasn't too long of a walk. I headed back upstairs to grab my things. When I returned to the living room I found a notepad and a pen on the coffee table. I began to write.

Andy,
Thanks for letting me stay the night. I appreciate your kindness.
~Claire

That was all I could write before I burst into tears. I quickly wiped them away before my makeup was ruined. I didn't want to leave but I knew I had to. Pulling myself together, I began to exit. I was almost to the door when I heard footsteps. But I kept walking.
