Only lies

Don’t believe a word that he will say. I saw him and I know he is going to tell you only lies. My father was saying this while carrying a bag with my clothes and other stuff of mine. What? What is he talking about? To be honest I actually knew what he was talking about, but I didn’t want to believe him although I knew he would never lie.
Father was talking about my boyfriend and I still wasn’t able to put everything together that happened yesterday. All started with an issue with our neighbour. She thought we are very lazy and untidy and she was not happy with that. To pay back for our yard not looking very great I promised I will mow her grass. Already five days have passed since my promise, but today I was really going to do it. I first wanted to mow our grass, so I was putting things away from it. But suddenly our neighbour drove into our yard with a weird looking lawn mower tractor like thing which had a roll in front of it. She started mowing our grass, I was telling her to stop, I will do it, I already started doing it. But she told me it’s ok she is not mad. I was surprised about that because she was about 80 years old and a grumpy woman. Later that evening we were celebrating my birthday and we went outside on the road and blew up something like fireworks confetti. After that quite big colored metal stars fell down. Shortly after that came an angry woman from the city’s council, telling that it’s not okay. I was already picking up the stars and told her we didn’t know they would be like that, and I am very sorry. She said some other bad stuff about us, and I was afraid she will kick us out somehow from this place.
Somehow I made peace with her and she went away. We suddenly were in a different place, a small apartment where apparently we were living for some time. We were sitting in the kitchen, I got up because I wanted to eat something, but the table looked like trash. I took a look around and everything was so messy, so dirty, I was so shocked. I asked my boyfriend if he saw how the kitchen looks. He said that he knows. I was so ashamed that we lived like pigs. I realized we had become very lazy and didn’t even care about such things. There was bread on the table, I picked it up and under it were crawling some weird disgusting bugs. My appetite definitely was gone. I noticed a few people dancing in the living room, and I remembered that we had a little party. A very small one. Suddenly a girl came into the kitchen, she looked fine, a little drunk, but smiling a lot. My boyfriend was joking around and saying – let’s try something, I want to see if she will like my attention, what will she do if I talk to her. What, why would you even do that, what’s wrong with you, do you like her or what? I was shocked. He said no no calm down, just as a joke, c’mon it will be fun. Nothing I said could stop him, okay if he wants he can do whatever he wants. He started talking to her and the girl started smiling even more, she came closer and closer to him and then she put her hand on his shoulder. For a surprise he pushed her away, asked her what she was doing. But she did it again, now he got pretty angry and pushed her away harder. She went back to the living room. I noticed three transparent bottles standing on the table, just as I wanted to put them away the girl came back and took them all. I turned to my boyfriend, very confused, but he said to me – you didn’t notice that she was stoned? I asked – with what. He said that those bottles were full of drugs, she is cutting herself and then putting drops of that liquid into those cuts. Everything was getting weirder. I realised that I have work very early the next day and told my boyfriend that I will go to sleep. There was a big bed in the living room I laid down and tried to fall asleep. But suddenly I noticed that the girl was in the bed as well. Okay, I thought, I have to sleep, I don’t have time for her. But after ten minutes I couldn’t stand it anymore. The girl was moving all the time, she was talking to herself and laughing. That was very creepy. I went to my boyfriend and told him that it is not normal, he has to do something. He said okay, don’t worry. Then he took a backpack and went outside. I don’t know what I was thinking but was sure that he would come back with a solution. So I went back to bed…
I woke up next morning. While I was getting ready somehow I managed to be already in my parents house. My sister was next to me, and she asked me what happened yesterday. I realized that I don’t know, and my boyfriend didn’t even come back. And then it started. I took a look at my phone and noticed it is already past 10pm. How could that happen, why didn’t my alarm ring?
And now it was the part when my father said – don’t believe him. I was already so confused about missing work and now this. I asked him what my boyfriend was doing yesterday. He struggled to answer me. I told him he didn’t come home, I asked for his help and he disappeared. I know – my father said, it’s hard for me to tell you that, but… I am certain he was with some women. You can’t listen to his lies, I know he is not good but he will lie. I couldn’t take in that information just yet. I wanted to know where he was and I just wanted to talk to him. But I remember about work. I have a very strict time schedule in work, and even being 5 minutes late would be very bad. But I had already missed 3 hours. I was panicking, I took my phone and tried calling to my work. But now the frustration got even bigger. Everytime I opened my phone contacts the phone numbers didn’t show up, instead I just saw useless pictures. Nothing I did was working, I saw my team manager was writing me angry messages, but I couldn’t even open them and answer her. I tried everything, I searched all my Gmail for my work phone number but nothing. I felt hopeless. After a long struggle suddenly someone was calling – SOS shift administrator. I grabbed my phone and answered the call – hello, I know, I’m sorry I’m late. The woman was just saying mhm ( like she was certain that every word I was going to say will be a lie). I asked her to let me explain, although I said I don’t know how that could happen. I told her that my alarm didn’t ring today, and I don’t have any idea why, I am very very sorry. Finally she started listening – okay, you will have to come here. I was there in her office in just a moment. She was sitting at a computer and explaining to me the situation. I wanted to ask her if my salary will be reduced because of this, but I heard – you will get fired. My heart stopped. What, why fired? I have never been late, this is the first time, I’m really really sorry. Yes I know, I’m actually sorry but I know how this works, they do it like this. I was in shock, what will I do? It’s impossible to find another job now, they will never take me back, I really need this job. I asked if she could help me. She said she could try, the woman opened some kind of government page and started writing complaint to the government. She wrote – I got fired from my job because… What -, I stopped her, I am not fired yet, this definitely will not help me if I’m turning against my company. I went back home. I asked my sister – where is he? And she guided me through our backyard. We stopped and he pointed her finger on the greenhouse (we are growing vegetables there in summer but at the moment it was empty). And I saw my boyfriend sleeping naked on the ground covered a little bit with some clothes. We sat just next to the greenhouse and I was thinking what to do. I talked with my sister a little bit. Suddenly he woke up, he looked at me and smiled. My sister murmured something like – yeah right, like he already was telling a lie. But he didn’t say anything. For a surprise he was already dressed up. My sister said – see, he is even pretending that he woke up dressed up, even that’s a lie. You just can’t trust him, please. He came out of the greenhouse and laid on his back just next to me. And now I really started thinking – he will lie. I asked him, where was he yesterday. Suddenly his face turned red and he was about to start crying and I knew he was going to say that he got beaten very bad yesterday, they took his clothes and blah blah. That was it, I don’t even want to listen, I know he didn’t even care and will manipulate me. And then suddenly I woke up for real. I was thinking for a while what I’m going to do now without a job, but then I took a look at the time and it was 4 am. What, is it already the next day or what, what is happening here. And then only I realised it was a dream. I was trying to convince myself that it was a dream, I am not fired, it took a while and I finally went back to sleep. Just a little later someone in my dream told me – you actually were fired and I woke up from a shock. I just couldn’t make this dream stop.
