I awake to the smell of vanilla birch and the faint scent of bleach and disinfectant. The combination makes me want to vomit yet again, but somehow I manage to keep down whatever little is left in my stomach after last night’s episode. My throat dry. Lips parched. Head pounding, I reach for the residue of water in the glass on my night stand. I am surprised to find that the glass has been refilled. Sadie must have refilled it while I tried to sleep my problems away. What would I ever do without Sadie and her wonderful husband Lawrence? When I moved to Atlanta and started working for Oasis Media; Sadie became my first friend in Atlanta. We bonded instantly; not just because we were the only two black girls working for the company but because Sadie was the kindest soul I had ever met. She would give a stranger the clothes off her back if they needed it. She was the only person to stand by me without judgement every time I messed up. I wondered if she was still here, I didn’t expect her to abandon her family for me; the irresponsible damsel in distress, who can’t learn from her past.
