48 hours before....
Annie hopped in her car after a long shift at the hospital. She enjoyed being a nurse, and although it was very stressful, she loved every minute of it. Here she was, a 23-year old successful trauma/ER nurse, she had a life she loved, along with a man she loved deeply. She smiled as he came to her thoughts. Cory, the man of her dreams. They met at her previous job 3 years ago, and have been living together for a year and a half.
Her thoughts quickly disappeared as she pulled up to her apartment complex. Next to her spot, she saw her sister's car. I wonder what she's doing here? She shrugged it off, and headed up the steps. She opened the door and what she saw left her with an uneasy feeling. As she looked around the living room, she saw clothes thrown here and there, an empty champagne bottle and a half-eaten bowl of strawberries sitting on the coffee table. She started walking around the room, seeing if she could find anything else out of the ordinary, and as she heard the muffled voices coming from the end of the hallway, she knew her suspicions were correct. She slowly crept down the hall and quietly opened their bedroom door. There they were, Cory and Alexa, screwing like there was no tomorrow. They were so into themselves that they didn't even notice Annie until she fell back against the wall.
"Shit!" Cory said, jumping out of bed and wrapping a sheet around him. Annie quickly regained her composure and bolted out of the door. "Annie! Wait! Lemme explain."
This stopped Annie dead in her tracks. She spun around and walked over to Cory, and slapped him as hard as she could. "How dare you even try to explain what you were doing in there. Am I not good enough for you? Do I not get you off anymore? Well, fuck you. Get the hell out of my my apartment. I'll send you your shit later." Cory went and got dressed and left.
"Annie?" She turned around and saw Alexa sticking her head out of the bedroom, still clutching the blanket that covered her.
The rage boiled up in Annie once again. "You!" she pointed to Alexa. "You little slut! How could you do this to me?" Alexa looked at her with a blank expression. "Mom and Dad always loved you the best cause you were their baby. Now they're not here, so you have to find someone else to love you. But why did you have to pick Cory? He was mine, but you just had to have him." Annie threw Alexa's clothes at her. "You get the fuck out too. You just lost your one and only sister." With that, Annie went into the bathroom and silently waited for her only living family member to walk out of her life.
Later that day, Annie was walking back from the store, when something caught her eye. Oh how touching. She saw a young couple obviously in love holding each other. But something told her to look again. It was Cory and Alexa, totally oblivious to anything but each other. I can't handle this anymore! She ran back to her apartment and immediately started packing.
