Tired

Walking home from class, Vanessa thought about the cold and lonely room waiting for her and she sighed. Van was a college student who had great grades and who was serious about studying. She just finished up a paper which had been working on for almost 3 weeks that was submitted that afternoon and she was exhausted. She stopped for some food and ordered for takeout before heading home.

After bathing and eating, she tried to sleep as it was already late and she was bone tired but she found herself unable to. She was troubled. Standing up, she walked to the vanity table and looked at herself in the mirror. At 5"6, she was quite short and slim, not thin. She figured she was quite pretty with large doe eyes that which slanted at the sides slightly, a straight nose, full bottom lip found on an elven like shaped face. With black hair recently cut to a little distance after her shoulders and a firm body set on lean round thighs, she was lovely.

Sighing, she thought about her life. Her father died when she was fourteen leaving just her and her mother. As a result, her mother became depressed and lost herself wherefore she would just sit and stare blankly all day with just few times of coherency each day. She had been fragile ever since the birth of Van where complications came up. Van started taking care of her mother from that young age. She learnt how to run the little coffee shop her father left behind with the help of the only staff they had.
