Another Day Josh - 20th August He refused to just give her up. It'd be completely ridiculous after all this time and effort. He just couldn't believe he'd resorted to this... He'd stalked her to some random house, and was now watching through the window as she talked to a thin black man. Oh how he envied that man. He'd not talked to her in days... And these two seemed to have history. It was clear from the subtle ways she touched his leg or the way he held her gaze for slightly to long. At least by following her here, he'd know exactly where she was. He liked knowing where she was, what she was doing and who she was with. If only he'd been into technology, maybe then he wouldn't have to do it all so... Personally. He sat and watched.

Another Day Sally - 19th August She'd moved out of Ryan's flat a few days ago and now she'd just found her new place in her new location. Chelmsford... Just big enough, just small enough, and just close enough to travel back to Norwich if the situation ever needed it. Perfect. She began packing. She started paying the rent on the place from next week. Simon called, again. "Simon, you can't keep calling me. My decision is final. So unless you want another start away from it all, then please, stop calling me. 'cause by the sounds of what you're going through, I think you could do with this new start just as much as I do. I'm not saying we have to start it together... As friends I was hoping. Anyway, it's a two bedroom place..." she cut herself off when she only heard him breathing. "Sally, let's do it. Let's get away from all this shit. You're better than Ryan, and I'm better than just sleeping with random girls. Jerry would've wanted me to sort my #life out. And I think this is his way of giving me the chance. Email me all the details yeah? I've got to go and sort out stuff ready for our move." He hung up before she managed to say goodbye. A new start for the both of them she thought... This could either be a really good or really bad thing. She hoped for the sake of both of them that it'd be good.

Another Day Millie - 16th August She starred at her reflection in the mirror. She'd never quite be the pretty girl that men desired. She sighed, pulling her hair into a side parting, making it easier to hide from the world. Hastily putting on her lack sling back shoes, she headed out for work. She noticed he wasn't in again. He hadn't been in for the past few days. Worst part was his absence alway niggled at her even more... She had to sit opposite his empty desk, and try and ensure he wouldn't be missed by covering his work load too. If she hadn't been so busy doing his work, he might have called him. But she always had the hope he'd call her first, or appear the next day. Three days was really ridiculous. Telling her other colleagues she was just disappearing to the paper room. Her eyes etched into the display on her phone, and her thumb hovered over the green phone button. "Ryan?" she asked gingerly, aware that it could be his girlfriend in the frame that taunted her everything she looked up and saw his desk. "Millie? What is it? What's fucked up now?" he replied. Feeling her eyebrows shoot up, she tried to contain her surprise. Clearly something was bad. "I just thought I'd call to ask for your email password, Hannigan's been on my arse for the new figure tables and I can't access then from my account. Would you mind?" she lied. She had them, of course she had them. "Sure it's kingston46. Anything else?" his voice seemed to beg her to ask... "Well actually, now you mention it... I was wondering when you would return back to work?" she asked. She didn't care about work, she cared about him. Oh too many times had she wanted to dive over the desks and just give him a great big hug... And oh so much more. "Why don't you come over later? It's been eerierly lonely and I could do with the solid head in all of this. And it'll give you the chance to go through next months figures if you bring them all over." his voice sounded casual, but it didn't stop her heart from doing a million beats a minute. "Sure." She could barely believe it was happening...

Another Day Simon - 16th August He couldn't believe it. He really couldn't believe it. He stared up the road, imagining the horror that must have happened to his best friend... Mere meters from his own home. His heart wrenched a little. How would he cope without him? He hadn't been without him since he was eleven... He'd known him fourteen years. He'd become a brother, the guy he went to when everything went wrong. Where was he now? Laying cold and motionless on some funeral home slab, as they attempted to make him look presentable for his open casket viewing. He could feel his breathing quicken and his throat closing... He ran into the house before the neighbours saw. Another seven vodka shots later, and he'd decided that perhaps he'd had enough alcohol to make him want to call up his ex. He still had her on speed dial. "Sally, Sally, Sally... I know Ryan doesn't know we went out. And I know you guys are through now, but do you fancy coming over... I just need you riiiiiiiight now." he could feel his words slur in his mouth. "Simon, you're drunk. Go to bed. If you still want to talk, call me in the morning. I have something to tell you anyway." she finished abruptly. Simon stared at the speaker, as if trying to work out why he could no longer hear her. Annoyed, heart broken and lonely, he launched his phone at the wall. Watching it shatter, he expected to feel some satisfaction. Instead he only imagined the phone as Jerry, and the wall being the stationary car. Tears warned his cheeks. That night, he cried himself to sleep again, and the guilt of his location haunted his dreams... If only he hadn't need a lift home. His vest friend and only family could still be alive...

Another Day Josh - 15th August (Contains strong language) Josh knocked on the door. When only the sound of his knock bounced back, he felt his hair stand on end. Something wasn't quite right here. He hadn't heard from Sally in days, and now she wasn't even answering the door? It'd be considered almost normal if she hadn't been missing from work also. He shook his head and attempted to appear through the little eyelet in the door. He called the house phone which was in view from where he was stood. He heard the phone ring from the other side of the door and watched as someone came to state at the phone... Just stare. He began banging on the door again. Now aware that someone within the building could at least know where Sally was. The figure looked towards the door, and began passing heavy footedly towards it... It wasn't Sally. The door flung open, and a red eyed man cane into view. A man he could only assume to be Ryan. "What the fuck do you want?" Ryan asked. Pulling up his sweatpants to his hips. "I'm Josh, I worked with Sally..." he tried to explain, but he could almost feel the angered heat that rose to the face of the man in front of him... "Oh, do you're Josh. Well... Josh" Ryan said in the venomous sarcastic tone that he'd ever heard... "Sally isn't here, so could you please stop leaving, fucking, voice messages on my awns wrong machine. I've enough shot to deal with than you keep trying to fuck my ex alright? Now buggar off before I call the police and tell them you've been harassing me" Josh felt the air of the door being slammed push past him, as if a gust of wind and almost knocked him into a pool. He stared back at the door. Wondering for a moment if what he'd just heard was true... Sally was gone? Gone where? Who with? Question jumped to his mind, along with impossible answers he knew he wouldn't find here... And his head knew he'd never find. But his heart argued, and told him to fight on... He left only feeling more empowered to try and find her...
