The city of broken dreams

Jess pov:

This city is killing me slowly, I have been here since uni, and yet nothing has changed, im still living in the apartment, in the same non-existent relationship, and still working jobs that kill my soul every day I go to work.

New York was supposed to be my big break, a chance to change my life, to make my dreams come true, and after one year of living here with uni I saw all them dream crumble to ruins, a series of unforgiving events crumbling my future and present.

At the time, I had a new boyfriend for the frist time I was doing well in my class, I had a full ride I was on track with my life and then it happened , march 3rd toward the end of my first year I was called to the deans office, later to find out my boyfriend has framed me for plagiarism on a couple of my test and the next thing I knew my full ride was cancelled, and I had to drop out of school. The next couple months were hard, having to find somewhere to live, a job on top of that going through a break up and the betrayal and the lost of my dream.

That was 5 years ago, and my 24 birthday was fast approaching, and with no future here in this dammed city of broken dream I need a change so half way through my second bottle of corner shop red wine, on the sofa of my shoe dox apartment apartment listen to the nextdoor neighbors fight is apply for a new job

Job application: personal assistant for ceo of white wolf media corporation.

location: Hallvile Town ,Texas

Starting: 4th of November

Relocation fees include plus housing and other benefits.

The 4th is next week and there no chances in hell I would get the job but if I got the job I would be free and have enough move to get away from here and finally have a new start. so with another gulp of wine, I submitted my application, and as I presented the send button, it was forgotten to the back of my mind.

Four days later, 30th October

*phone start playing no sleep till Brooklyn* "Hello, who's there?"

"Hello, there is this Jess Greyson, I'm calling about her job application."

"Yes, that is me. What can I help you with?"

"Brilliant, last week you summit an application for white wolf media, I would like to inform you that you have been accepted,"

"Wait, really, when do I start and sign the contract?"

"Yes, the job starts on the 4th, but I need tou down on the first to get you settled in to your new place and area as well as signing of the contract."

"Wait, that in two days' time, I don't think I could move my stuff by them, and we'll as getting my documents sorted by then"

"No worries, Miss Greyson, the company will be sorting that all out. The only thing you have to worry about is packing and you new life, I have to now miss Greyson I will call you on the first when then moving vans will arrive and I will email you your fight ticket and then we will meet at the airport over here, see you soon miss Greyson"

With that, the phone call ended, and I was left standing in my shoe box apartment, I sink back onto sofa as I try to work out what had just happened.
