Waiting

I went up to Brandy’s apartment, and tried to open the door. Locked.
Dammit, Brandy never gave me the keys!
I sat by the door for what seemed like forever, a little blood started leaking out of the corner of my mouth, but I took no notice because the elevator shaft near me sounded like the elevator was going up.
Brandy
She always uses the left elevator that everyone thinks is broken down!
I rushed up to the elevator and waited. The door opened and Brandy and Ashley were in the elevator, looking pissed off.
Before I knew it, shrill voices were flying at me like thousands of screaming birds, pecking at me.
Why would you do that?
He’s so sweet! He was just joking!
You are sleeping on the couch from now on!
“Can I just get the keys to the apartment, please?” I interrupted. “Ashley’s jackass boyfriend knocked my shoulder out and I am aching all over just because Jack was sober this time.”
The keys got thrown in my face, hard.
Dammit.
