To say that I was eager is an understatement. I was so happy and excited that I was finally going to work and able to provide for the woman who has been there for me when no one even cared about me. She was there when everyone else saw me as a complete nobody.
We had finally moved to the city. Just a ten minute walk from where I was to work.we got a better apartment though not expensive.. Just comfortable and sure it will be in my salary range of USD 500. To some extent I thought this was pure luck for me to get such ajob. Though life is kind of expensive here, we will be able to survive alongside provide for my sick mom.
"Did you even have any sleep last night ?" Mom says as she goes through finding me in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
"I just could not contain my happiness mom" I say as I turn to give her a sudden hug taking her by surprise. I have grown so fond of this woman the last couple of months.

Elena pov The less the steps got to the office is the more nervous I got. I had promised myself to be as careful as I could to see that I keep my job for some time. Little did I know that I was going to fucking do this on the first day. To make matters worse messing up with the most important person in the hospital. I put all the worry aside and thought about the few people who really believed in me. I didn't have to let them down. They didn't deserve that. Vincent, he always encouraged me never to give up in this life. Then came Mrs Madison, I owe that woman my life , she has been there the most times when no one really cared. The few months I have been with her, she has shown me too much love that I was not even able to get from my real parents and siblings. Then Naomi, she is a girl that I have met only a few hours a go but she didn't judge me like what the rest used to do. She believed in me first time. So with all this, I had to go back and get this job back. It

This I will be to get to work and by the time my boss gets at work, he will not have anything to say against me.

Elena povI insisted to get out of car even when the " boss" insisted that I wait for the driver to open the door for me. You will not believe it but we hardly had talked ten words to each other. I think he is some one who doesn't talk much . I think it is better that way. I was just praying that we get to the hospital and here we are." Have a nice day , Dear " John says to me. You won't believe it but we didn't even exchange names.***" Hey, good morning " I see Naomi also leaving a cab."Hello, Good morning Naomi " I answer her."Was that your boyfriend ?" She asks .

He was aslo almost finalising his internship but then fate befall him and he perished in an accident. Thinking about him makes me even wet my eyes. I quickly dry my eyes and continued with the work that I am supposed to do before Mr arrogant comes in. My mind shift back to that handsome stranger who helped me in the morning. I didn't even take any chance to know his name. I needed to at least be grateful and thank him more personally next time. But I doubt if at all there will be any other time."Knock !knock!" Then I suddenly hear a voice at the door. It is like and of familiar to me if I can say. Then the door turns open which makes me look around immediately to be met by him..talk about the devil, and it will appear, my subconscious whispers at me cross legged."You!""You!" We both

Elena povAfter my little encounter with the two opposite brothers, I moved out of the office heading to clean in other places that I am supposed yo work in. We took long to finish the work since we hard come in late . plus the hospital was unusually full for a morning. The place is so busy. I admire how the doctors move up and down doing their work to save people's lives. If my life had been any different, I would have loved to become a doctor. It is actually a dream that I have not yet thrown away. I one one day I will be able to attain my dream and become a doctor... Haha, I know each one of you is laughing out at me. The thing is you have hope in your self and believe that things can change for the better with time.I felt so uncomfortable by how every one was looking at me. It is not that I am some kind of a beauty. Every one around me has made it clear to me that I am the ugly one and doesn't deserve anything in this life. I was busy scrabbing the behind floor no

She was success in getting a double shift. This meant she was going to stay at the hospital upto the evening. I was happy for her.I was not able to get a conclusion of maybe Dr Miles letting me have some days off.

Of course I was never Lucky in this world even if I tried to .(30 minutes ago )" I will be off " Naomi told me as soon as we got out of Doctor Carrissa's room.

Elena PovI just didn't believe what had happened to my boss that day. He was so rude to me earlier but a few minutes later, he was there offering me a lift home. That is the least that expected from him. Maybe he had realised what he had done and once in his entire life time, wanted to act like a human being. I left it at that. I was just making myself over things that were not giving me anything at all.Strangely, my leg got a bit better a after three days. I could move properly. I needed to get back to work but of course mom didn't want to hear a single word about that. She just couldn't. She had insisted on me telling her what had happened to my leg even after telling her over and over that I had slipped on the tiles as I was scrabbing it. They say that parents and guardians have a sixth sense, I think that is true since even if I had told mom aboute slipping down the tiles, she just didn't believe it but rather decided to leave it. If I had told her, she cou
