when reader loses her essay that took way too long to type.
'm sorry 4 taking so long to make this </3
"650 WORDS, ABEL. 650 WORDS, DOWN THE DRAIN! I SPENT 10 HOURS ON THAT ESSAY!"
The rage you felt was undeniable. 10 hours you sat slouched over at your desk, 10 hours you spent fixing grammar (you don't have enough space on your computer to download grammarly, poor you) and spelling mistakes, 10 hours you spent on the most IMPORTANT essay of your life.
Around 3AM is when you finally finished the essay. And when you went to close the window, a pop up appeared.
DO YOU WANT TO SAVE THIS DOCUMENT?
You, in your sleep deprived state, managed to somehow mistake the ' DO NOT SAVE' button for the 'SAVE' one. Just like that, your whole essay was gone.
But you didn't know that.
Nooottt until 6 hours later when you woke up and dragged your aching body over to your computer to re-read the essay you typed out earlier. Your heart sank when you didn't immediately see it at the top of your screen.
You didn't hallucinate saving it did you? Oh God, please don't let that be the case. You spent way too long and had too many breakdowns for this entire essay to be gone.
You refreshed. Nothing. Refreshed again. Nothing. Refreshed AGAIN— for the love of everything holy, if it didn't work the first two times, why try a third time? Then.. that's when reality hit you. Your essay wasn't saved.
The beating of your heart immediately came to a halt as you began to hyperventilate. "No.. NO. NO WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYYYYYYUHHHHH!!!" you wailed, not caring that you might possibly receive another noise complaint.
When Abel arrived at your dorm after receiving a text that you spelled and articulated SO well ("ABDL MR FVKFINF ESAY S GONS IM FONA CRY!!!!!") , he found nearly everything in your room on the floor and you in the middle of the mess sobbing.
Now, here he is an hour later, watching you pace around your room in a panic. He'd be lying if he said he didn't find this a liiiiittle amusing, but he'd also be lying if he said you wouldn't absolutely rip him to shreds if he even cracked a smirk.
"ABEL. ABEL, you-you don't understand! My life is over! That essay was worth 100% of my grade!! It's due tomorrow! DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE THE MOTIVATION TO REWRITE A 650 WORD ESSAY?! I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I PUT AS THE TITLE!" you snatched up Abel by his shirt with a deadly grip, which he responded by throwing his hands up with a slightly terrified look.
"WOAH— Why are you grabbing me as if I deleted your essay, don't yell at me, yell at the computer!" a little chuckle managed to escape and Abel immediately met the back of your palm, resulting in a very loud 'OUCH!'
"Don't. LAUGH AT ME! This is serious! I— I could fail! Or worse.. I... could be kicked out of college. I worked too hard to get into this school, an essay can't be my downfall, Abel, it CAN'T!" tears pooled in your eyes and spilled over your cheeks as you dropped to the ground in a heap of sobs.
Abel forgot about the stinging on his cheek and his face softened at seeing you in such a hysterical state. "Hey, hey— it's okay, cmere.." Abel pulled you into a hug, letting you cry into his chest, not caring about the tears staining his new hoodie.
"Listen, uh.. Maybe it's in a hidden folder somewhere? Your trash folder?" Abel spoke to you in such a tender tone, which was way different than his usual joshing. "It's GONE. Theres no point! I'm gonna be kicked out of college, OH MY GOOODDD!" your cries got louder as Abel rubbed your back in an attempt to soothe you.
Abel thought for a good second, before getting up and walking over to your computer, you being too heartbroken to care about what he was about to do. The sound of him clicking around could be heard for a good 10 seconds before he turned around to face you.
"Here, look." Abel moved aside to let you crawl over to the computer, still sniffling as your eyes browsed the screen. You immediately jumped to your feet at the sight of your essay that was once lost.
"How the?!- How'd you?! Wha, WHAT?!" shock immediately turned into ecstasy as you exulted in your essay being recovered. Abel was brought into a tight hug that he immediately returned back, jumping along with you just for the fun of it.
"YOU ARE GENUINELY THE BEST PERSON EVER OMG ABEL, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" you squealed, causing Abel to beam at the compliment. "I AM!?" he squealed back as the two of you celebrated you not possibly being kicked out of college.
"EY! SHUT ALLAT UP! SOME PEOPLE HAVE ESSAYS TO WRITE!!"
The sound of banging on your door and the yelling of God knows who caused the both of you to immediately pause, looking at the door with wide eyes.
Abel immediately scoffed. "Ha, that loser's still working on that essay? Meanwhile you did it in 10 FRICKIN HOURS, BABES, YEEEAAA!"
The two of you erupted into cheers again, ignoring the yelling that grew louder.
You got your essay back— but if you, Abel, and.. whoever that was outside didn't shut up soon— you most DEFINITELY were gonna get kicked out..
