Life just always has a way of biting me in the ass. I just got fired for a stupid misunderstanding. A man was causing havoc in the building. I decided to intervene. He was hitting his driver and no grown man should be treated like that, no one should actually be treated like that. I was fired because apparently, I disrespected him. I didn't even get paid this month. Slowly with an aching heart, I made my way back home, getting home I see my mum pleading with the house owner, he was dragging her, touching her in an unpleasant way.
"Get off my mum, What's your deal," I said.
"I want you, your mum, your siblings every one of you out of my Goddamn house, if you don't I'll call the cops reporting you for trespassing"
I became pale instantly, I couldn't even pay him, I had just lost my job so I really had nothing on me.
"Please give us a week, if I don't pay within a week you can kick us out" I pleaded.
"A week it is, if my money isn't ready you wouldn't like what I'll do. There is a way you could pay me though" he said, eyeing my mother he had the stupidest smirk on his face.
I knew I couldn't react so I clenched my fist together.
"You know where to find me," he said
I really wish I could wipe the stupid smirk off his face.
I made my way to my mum embracing her into a hug, I also had to calm my sister down.
We were once a happy family, till my Dad decided to ruin everything, He ran away with another lady, and he claimed he never loved my mum. It started with him coming home late, drinking and all, he and my mum would get into terrible fights, one time he almost hit her, and I had to butt in.
My mum tries her best to provide for us, I mean she was for a year, and everything took a drastic turn on the day of the accident.
A drunken driver hit her car, and she was left in critical condition, we spent all of our savings covering hospital bills, we also had to move out of our old apartment because we couldn't afford it again, I had to drop out of school to assist, I couldn't let her go through all this alone.
We made our way back into the house, our things were scattered all over the house, I picked them up, arranged them, and put them in their proper position.
My mum was still crying, I went to meet her trying my best to be strong for her.
"Hey mum, it's fine don't beat yourself up, we always survive we would get through this, I got fired but I'll look for a new job as soon as possible I promise"
"You shouldn't be going through this, you are young, you should be out there exploring, I've failed you as a mother." She said
"Don't say that mum, you are the best, things will eventually get better."
I dragged my little sister Emma to me.
"So tell me about your day."
"Well, nothing really happened, just the usual".
"I want to hear the usual"
"So Andy was being rude to the teacher and got detention, Cindy made fun of me because of my worn-out shoes but I ignored her, I'm used to it at this point"
"I'll get you new shoes soon, you don't need to worry," I said, planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Really, thank you, you're the best"
Morning came and I got up very early. I had to look for a job. Time was ticking. We couldn't be left on the cold streets, so I checked various places. It's either they already had enough staff or I wasn't what they were looking for.
I was already running out of luck and getting tired, so I decided to check on more places. When I got there I was asked what I could do, I informed them I could do anything.
I was taken to who I think was their boss
" Hey there champ, I heard you were looking for a job?"
I stammered a little but, composed myself
"Yes sir, I am". " Are you sure you can do anything?"
"Yes sir I am", "Okay then you can start now"
"Thank you so much, sir."
I realized I didn't even ask what the job was, but at this point, I didn't care.
I was told to follow Andrew the man who just employed me, he lead me to an illegal gambling ring, and instantly I knew what I was in for, his voice pushed me out of my thoughts
"Our bartender just quit, you'll be filling his spot."
"Thank you so much for this, I won't let you down"
I started working immediately and I was surprised with the amount of tips left for me.
It was finally time to close, I made my way to Andrew, I was going to hand over the tips I got to him
"Hey Andrew, so I made about 300 dollars on the drinks today and I got a tip of 100 dollars."
"That's great, I'm impressed, you can keep the tip. Take it as a welcome bonus"
I was left in shock, this is exactly what I needed to pay the bills.
" Thank you so much". " You're welcome."
I made my way back home, before I stepped into the house, I made my way to Ben. I knocked on his door and in no time I got a response
"Come in". I handed him the money.
" This is what we owe you"." Nice doing business with you, tell your mum I said hi"
I ignored him, making my way back home.
"I'm home," I said my words echoing.
" Welcome home mi amor," My mum said, kissing my cheek. I told her I got a new job. I had to lie about what it was because I knew she wouldn't approve of it. I also told her I sorted out the bill.
"How did you do it, Justin I know you don't have money, please hope you are not doing anything illegal?"
" No mama, I told my boss what was going on and he decided to help, although I'll pay him back later"
"Okay mi amor, I know you are hungry, your food is on the table," she said
"Thank you, Mum", after eating I freshened up, and after a while I got on my bed and drifted off to bed
"What a day," I said to myself before sleeping.
