2024-10-27 16:26:36With soap all over my body, I tied my towel and went to the balcony to get myself some water to finish up. As soon as I was done, I picked up a pair of baggy jeans and a sweater to wear, went to the kitchen to quickly finish up the sandwiches and cleaned up the messes I made in the kitchen cause if Ary should come back to see all this, I am so dead. I hopped out of the house, closed the door and put the keys under the doormat as instructed, and made sure I didn't forget anything in the house.
As I walked through the main door I asked myself "Did I forget anything?" "Naa, I don't think so" "Way to go girl" I said to myself as I hit the road hoping to see a brighter day ahead. As I left the house I started walking through the neighborhood hoping to see a bus that's gonna stop and I can manage to sneak in cause I ain't got no money right now and even if I do I'd rather save up than pay for any T fare and right now five different buses have passed and none stopped and I'm freezing already. As I continued to walk I heard some noises ahead and I quickly walked up to the scene to see what's up and to my surprise it's a bus that's probably broken down... yay! I said to myself as I managed to sneak in when the passengers were busy shouting at the driver. As I got to my destination I started banging the walls of the bus hoping to get the attention of the driver and yeah he stopped trying to figure out what's happening. As he opened the back door from where the sound was coming from, with a huge smile on my face, "Good morning sir" I greeted trying my best to look cute but I guess that's not really my thing. The driver shoved me out of the bus as I tripped over my woodland and landed on my ass on a snowbank . Cold wetness burns the back of my thighs as he points his rough fat finger at me. "How in the name of Jesus did you get on this bus?" Still trying not to look like a badass I told him how I sneaked in when the bus broke down. "Come on, pay up." That was the next thing I heard him say. Goshhh with all this explanation I just made, didn't he understand I've got no shit with me right now? I mean if I had money would I even sneak in the first place. "You such a dumbass big man" I murmured quietly "What did you just say" he asked "Nothing sir" I lied "Then pay up already I've got no time to waste here" he said "Well, actually sir I don't have any money on me right now, I mean not even a dime, but you can take me away if you want I'm a good cleaner, in fact squishy clean is my middle name" I said to him grinning like I meant every single word I said, well I can't believe I just said that anyways "Squishy Clean" ewww that's horrible I said to myself. All of a sudden I saw him walking up to me staring at me as if he's gonna eat me up, he such looks like a Lion ready to pounce on its prey "Oh, this better be good" I murmured to myself as I stare at him as he continues walking towards my direction Suddenly I felt a huge grab on my tiny arm as he started twisting my arm "ouch!" I cried out in pain. " You gotta pay for the fees just like everyone else kiddo and the next time I catch you sneaking on, I'm so calling the cops" That's if you catch me "Asshole!" I said as I ran away. "I'd rather beg than clean up your mess anyways" I said to myself "You lil Delilah" he said as he made a snowball to throw at me "Well I better not catch you next time or ya dead gal" he replied as he walked up to the bus to continue his journey. "Would you get in already" a passenger shouted out from the bus "Oh please, I'm coming already... would you rather have me fly?" The driver replied in frustration as he entered the bus and started the engine. As the bus zoomed off I catched my reflection in the windows, I saw temporary wrinkles on my face, my hair hanging over my forehead with pale skin. Passengers looking through the glass like I'm sort of an alien. But to hell with them and what they think , they don't know me or what I've been through . At such a young age I've been wandering around hoping to survive and they don't know all that and probably if they knew they wouldn't care a shit about it. Regaining my dignity I hid my face in my palms to warm up my cheeks with my breath . Shit, it just has to be the coldest of the year too. All I wanted was a lift, just a goddamn lift just to keep my head under this frigid weather but it was so stupid of me to think he'd show any sort of mercy or just a lil bit of kindness. It doesn't matter if a red and green light illuminates the colony or if Santa Claus with his reindeer flies through the billboard above. It's Christmas time in Hawthorne and the only people who care are the ones so rich enough to celebrate it. Whateves. I'm closer to my destination than ever, right? I have to keep moving . Like my mother always said "Though the road may be tough there's always light at the end of the tunnel" I always made sure to have that at the back of my mind.Related chapters

By the time I reached Ember, the restaurant where I worked, two blocks away, I could feel a silver of sweat brushing my upper back. I dived into the delicious smell of burnt coffee and sweet pastries as I went through the back at the kitchen where I worked as a waiter. Hey Kira, I greeted with a smile as I entered the Kitchen. "Really Dia, you late again, the boss is fu****g mad and he wants you in his office right now, and trust me he isn't smiling, and when I said right now I mean RIGHT NOW" Oh great! I mumbled as I found my way to his office. And the one thing about my boss, he never smiles,goshh i can't believe how a human can do without even wearing the faintest of smile on his face, and whenever he's angry it's like an hot larva ready to blow out some Volcano, and the last time I saw him lashed out on Kira, trust me, it wasn't good he almost tore her into pieces but I guess it's my turn today. What a way to start the day. "Here goes nothing " I murmured to myself as I knocke

The day could not just get any longer and it seems like forever already cause I'm dying to get out of this horrible place as soon as I can. Finally the closing alarm rang as I attended to the last customer In Front of me and bursted out of the restaurant without looking back. I didn't even bother to say goodbye to Kira. I guess I will make up for that tomorrow morning. And as usual I started walking down the street back to my house. As I was going, all I could think of was what my boss said to me, and I just couldn't get them out of my head. I mean those words hurt like shit and if my mother hadn't died things wouldn't have been like this at least not this worse and a lil bit better. Then I decided to listen to some music in order to get those scenarios out of my head. I plugged in my earphone, scrolled down on my phone to find a song to listen to and I decided to play "A million dreams" by Hugh Jackman and i was singing along as i listened to the music " I close my eyes and I can se

So, I sort of come here often, sometimes I'd stop by at a restaurant or a coffee shop. I actually like the stuffs around here sooo, or probably because I'm used to this place I guess" "Oh that's nice" "Yeah tanks, but that's not really what brought me here actually" "Oh" "Ok so, I'm currently working on a recent project right now and which of course is supposed to be top secret" he said with a serious look "Don't worry my lips are sealed" I said using my hand to draw an invisible zip sign in my mouth in demonstration "Lol, well, so I'm here to make some research and hopefully it would be worth it, cause it is a huge risk I'm taking here" "That's the main reason why I'm here, to do some investigation and all, but I just hope my best is actually enough," Elliot said and sighed. "Oh don't beat yourself to it, at least you're trying your best, you're not just sitting there and watching all this happen.. It's cool" Diana said, chuckling.

"Woww...what did you say you were studying again? Cause I didn't understand a single thing you just said right now" he said smiling "I stopped schooling as soon as I was done in High school," I said with so much sadness. Because one thing I've always loved was schooling, but I guess that ain't for me, at least not after what happened with my parents. "Oh, I didn't mean to say that, actually..." He tried to explain himself "It's fine, I understand," I said, wearing a smile so he wouldn't think much about it. "Okay, let's go start this car and see what you did whether it's gonna work or not" "It's so going to work, I trust what I did," I said smiling "Well, we are about to find that out now," Elliot said. He opened the door of his white SUV, with a little touch of black, just not to make it purely white, I guess, because I didn't see the need for them to add the black colour. He pressed the start button and guess what? It worked "Well, looks like someone did a great

Elliot is a twenty-three-year-old with dark, straight hair; he's about 6 '2 feet tall with a huge masculine body. He has a somewhat oval face with a cute well of dimples sitting comfortably on his two-minute; his dimple shows t, he exclaimed, but there wasn't to his smile. His grey eyes had the bluish hue of sunlight upon the slate, with a hue so softly grey that they could have been pencil drawn. They had that look of birds flying on sunlit days, the shine and quick movement, yet relaxed, purposeful, and at ease. Every morning, he anchors the morning television show "The Act of Justice", where he talks about low-class people, how they have been cheated most of the time, and the need for the government to come to their rescue. He talks about how young girls are raped and murdered if they try to raise their voices. He recently did his research on a girl who was raped to death by a certain gang which is still unknown to the public, but he didn't say much about it, I guess maybe they

The stairs groaned as I descended on them and I started to feel my heart beat fast. I saw Ary in the living room and a mouthed out a "good morning" as i gave her a quick wave and got out of the house "At least have your breakfast before leaving" I heard her say in a loud voice. I hurried back quickly to the house, picked up my sandwich as usual and took to my heels...was about to leave but went back inside to thank Ary. "Well, thanks for not using all the water up this time," I said giving her a weird look "You are most welcome" she said whichever I knew she didn't mean "Oh please" Once out, I couldn't wait to sneak on a bus, so I stopped a passing bus and hopped on, and luckily for m,e, I was just in time. I entered the restaurant and went straight to my section to put on an apron and resume duty. As I was wearing my apron, I heard Kira's voice behind me "And guess who came early to work today, the one and only Diana Roberts" she said laughing out loud "Hey it's not li

"Sir, " I called out to him so I wouldn't miss him before he left the restaurant. "Sir" I called out to him again like three times before he looked back and it was then I knew I wasn't overthinking he looked familiar but I just couldn't pinpoint when and where I saw him "Yes?" He said snapping me out "Yeah, errmm you look familiar... "Pardon" he said making me realize I'd been thinking out loud "Oh I'm sorry, your wallet sir, I mean your wallet fell sir" "Oh Thanks," he said as he collected the wallet from me and walked out like he was avoiding me or something "There's something off with this man" "I know, right?" I heard a familiar voice from behind me, and I looked back to see who it was. "Oh hey, what up" I greeted "What are you doing here" he asked as he stretched his hands out for a hug "Oh" I murmured and I gave him a hug "I don't know what you are talking about, I saw you from where I was sitting and I came closer to see if it was you and I heard you thin

I asked "Yeah sure, don't you think we should start going already i mean it's past 4 already and I'm thinking we should start going or what do you think, and please don't tell me you're waiting till closing before we move" "Very funny Kira, you talking as if this is my first time here or maybe I don't know our boss," I said chuckling "Good thing you know girl" she replied rolling her eyeballs "For your kind information," I continued as I stared at her "I wasn't gonna wait till closing i was just going to wait for five to hit before we move but since you moved the motion I bet we should hit the road now" I said "Or do you still have anything to do?" "If I wasn't free would I be here, of course not, let's get going already would ya" "Well I'm not in your section so you don't expect me to know whether you are free or not, I'm just being nice that's why I'm asking anyways not like I care," I said as we started walking towards the closet to change t
