"W... what?!!!" Confused, my manager asked to be sure of what he just heard him say.

"I said... fire her!" He repeated the same words through gritted teeth. "It is nothing serious. She ought to meet the needs of your customers but it turned out to be a disappointment. If she continues to work here, she'll end up kicking all your customers out. I know people like her. They're just whores! They sleep with old men at night and work lazily during working hours. Just fucking fire her!" he growled.

Every word coming out of his mouth felt like a dagger piercing my heart, tears slipped down my cheeks uncontrollably. They hurt so much that, I almost forgot I had a terrible headache just a while ago. 

"Damn! Fucking bitch!” He added and stormed out of the restaurant in anger.

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm sure he didn't mean his words. He always does this when he's angry,  I apologized on his behalf” Nathan said, patting my shoulder lightly, and left the restaurant.

I never cared what he said except for the awful things he called me. No one in this life said such mean words to me. He called me a bitch and a whore?!

I can't believe those two words "Fire her" and I got fired. 

Tears streamed down my cheeks again, thinking of how I've been so devoted to this restaurant for the past month and now, I got fired because someone asked them to do that.

•

Working for a whole month and few weeks, trying my best to please the customers as much as I could so they can always come back to the restaurant for more, yet, I got fired just like that.

The thought on how to take care of my family, especially my sick mother filled my heart and it became worrisome. I was really hoping after working for at least two months, I can talk to my boss to lend me some money and can gradually deduct it from my salary.

I can't believe my manager would fire me because he was told to all because of an ordinary mistake anyone could possibly commit- I thought as tears slipped down my cheeks for the umpteenth time that morning.

Aaron Samuel, I will never forget this day. For making my life this difficult suddenly, I will make sure you pay for it- I mentally said to myself.

I decided to visit my sick mother at the hospital where she's been admitted before going back home since I have nowhere else to go afterwards. 

Getting to the hospital, I opened her room door and saw her lying peacefully on her bed. The doctor was so good to us because, he's helped in taking good care of her even though, I haven't been able to pay a penny yet. 

I slowly walked over to her bed and sat next to her. I took her cold hand and begin to pure my heart out to her despite knowing, she can't hear me. I just want to talk to someone. 

"Mom, tell me, where do I start from? What should I do? What should I do now after been fired? I thought... I thought I had the chance to work there, but I got fired in the process'' I said, tearing up.

"But don't worry. I promise to find another job aa soon as possible. I'm going to work hard as much as I can to pay for your treatment so you can leave this place. I'm really sorry I let you down" I said, clasping on her hand tightly.

It really hurt... It really hurt when all you want to do is to take good care of your family, especially if you have a sick mother lying lifelessly on the bed but do not have enough to take care of your problem.

After spending some time with her, I left the hospital and went back home.

I sat on the floor in my living room, drinking and trying not to get depressed even though it's hard for me. I kept thinking about it and wondering how and where to start from with all this that just happened to me.

But suddenly, the door burst open and my junior sister, Janet walked in. "Hey! How comes you're home this early? It's just past 7pm and you-" she stopped in her mid sentence and widened her eyes in horror the moment she saw me drinking. "Wait, you're drinking?! At this time of the day?! This... This is just past 7pm, Sophia!" She yelled out in a worried tone as she tried to take my drink away but I was quick to stop her. 

"Don't! Don't you dare take my drink away from me! You know why? Because, I'm getting myself drunk tonight!" I announced in a tipsy tone, smiling at her. 

I'm usually not the type to get tipsy, I'm a heavy drinker but, I wonder what happened suddenly.

"Sophia, what has gotten into you all of a sudden?" She looked worried. 

"I said, I'm getting myself drunk until I don't remember any of the words that fool said to me" I repeat again. 

"What man are you talking about?" She questioned again in a confused tone. "Come on, get up and-"

"Let go of me!" I cut her off by slapping her hand away from my body as she tried to help me up. 

"Do not interfere in this. It's none of your business!" I said again in a tipsy tone.

She looked at me, tsk and shook her head before sauntering up to her room. I got up as well despite being tipsy, sauntered straight to my room, took my mini system and went back to the living room. 

I sat down back on the spot I left earlier before opening the system and went online.

I stared at the system for a few seconds debating on how to begin the writing. I really do not know how this things work but, all I want to do right now is to make that heartless man pay for the pain he caused me.

Then, I begin to write till my fingers begin to hurt badly. When I was done, I read the whole thing countless times before hitting on 'send'

And yes! That's it! I posted it!

I jumped from my seat and begin to scream. I'm so happy right now. Now, I'm really hoping people get to see what I just posted because, I'm not a famous blogger and neither am I a blogger. 

Spreading all over everywhere will be my biggest achievement.

"Sophia! What in the world have you just done?!" Suddenly, I heard my sister yelled.

End of flashback

"I can't believe, you posted such horrible lies about him! You've never met or talked to him once, so, why in the world would you choose to write such horrible lies about him? He's a dangerous man, Sophia! What if, he finds us? He's going to come for us in no time. What would you do when he shows up because, he's never going to forgive neither you or your family!" Nic complained, worriedly. 

"Allow me to worry about that and not you. Besides, I didn't lie about that heartless man. Whatever I wrote there, is nothing but the truth. He is a rapist and a drug addict" I said in a nonchalant tone.  

Lies and lies! I know whatever I just said about him is a lie but, I'm not ready to let it go just like that. He needs to be taught a lesson.

“Sophia, look, I do not want to know what has transpired between you and that man but, you have to delete that post now! I believe if you do just that, everyone will understand and everything will wither like it never happen. You still have time to amend your mistakes" Nic said again. 

"How can you say everything will wither like it never happened, Nic when she has over 3.5 million followers already?!!!" Janet bursted.

 

"Wh... what... What??! Did you just say 3.5 million followers?! How?! When?!" I asked stunned before grabbing my phone to check for myself. I checked and it's the truth. 

I can't help but widened my eyes in horror.

No, no, no! What in the world have I done this time around? I am dead! I'm dead in the hands of Aaron.

"Sophia, you need to delete that, okay? Now, I will get you your system so you can delete those crazy things you posted. If I had known your password, I would have done that long time ago" Janet said. 

"No, I'm not deleting it" I said.

In unison, they yelled "What?!"

 

That post is not going to be deleted. He deserves it and I'm probably proving to him what I'm capable of doing. He shouldn't have messed my life up but now that he did, he will certainly pay for it. Plus, why are you two acting this way? I'm just a random internet girl. Of course, no one knows about me so, we're safe." 

"Sophia, this is crazy! I think you should delete that post, huh?" Nicholas begged me. 

"I said, No! I won't" I said, stubbornly. "I will never take it down and this should be the last time we will talk about this"
