The Unwanted Beauty

Chapter 1

"Get out!! your of age so go and do come back you ungrateful brat"he screamed at my face and threw my bag at me

This boiled up my anger towards this excuse of a man

"f**k you steve " flipping him the sign and turning my back at the insults he throws at me

It was if he had planned this , wait for me to finally be an adult and am no longer his problem , but am happy to be free from that rat hole , that sounded ungrateful but its true , i wonder how hell survived without since im the one who worked .

Speaking of work , i made my way to the small diner i work at

The small bell rung as i enter ,"Florence your early today "

Melissa the sweet old woman who owns the diner greeted me

She's the normal human being i know , at school i was the weirdo since i didn't to loose my virginity to some jock or i refused to give him a blow job.

"Yeah , am finally a woman now "she looked up at me and smiled

"of course its your birthday , here "

She handed me a box wrapped up all pretty this woman

"Melissa i told you not to get me anything "

i told countless times not yet me a present but she never listens i don't even know why i bother

"oh shush open it "

i smiled at her and opened the box , inside was a small key , a house key ?

She noticed my confusion and what she said brought tears to my eyes

"i know Steve wass going to throw you out so , my brother left me his apartment and I've never sold it and you know i live at my parents house , so i thought that you may need at place to stay before you go to college , and before you refuse it , just no that theirs no rent the only thing you'll pay are the water and electricity bills which is not that expensive"

Tears leaked out of my eyes i looked at this wonderful Woman I've been blessed with in my life

i placed the box down and threw my arms around her

"Lord bless you heart "i said smiling at her

"Oh honey thank you now enough of this crying lets get back to work "

we wiped our tears and i went to the back to place my bag and put my apron on

"Senorita its is you birthday today why the tears "

Bob the chef said

i smiled at him and shakes my head

"Nothing bob just the boss making me cry "

"Well ok after work i have a surprise for you "

i rolle my eyes playfully "another surprise "

He laughed and continued to work

I also went back to work , the diner always closes up at ten , Melissa says if it's night time its bedtime.

Then diner is empty at ten minutes to ten and i finish the last cleaning touches .

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Florence, happy birthday to you,"bob and Melissa sing as he carries a cake

I smile as tears leak out the second time today ,

"make a wish "

i close my eyes and blow out my candles

they clap and we share the cake .

"Thank you bob , your a best friend a girl could ask for " i hug him.

Bob, has shown me what fathers love is like , his son is in the army , ive never mt him but he speaks foundly of him .

I cut a slice and wrapped it

"Take this to Ruth. " he nods and waves goodbye

oh Ruth's his wife shes beautiful she always so welcoming , i love her like a mom .

"ok Florence lets takes you to your new home "

We buckle up in her car and she drives off.

I wake up to someone shaking me "wake dear we are here " i stretch and get out of the car

Melissa tells me the Apartment is room three fourty two

Its a really nice apartment , furniture is there. i have my own bathroom , the smell is nice , the kitchen is perfect .

"i love it "

i really do .

"i know , its perfect for you "

i continue my exploring , "ok its time for me to leave , i know you don't need rules you mature enough to live on your own , i trust you'll take care of this place ok "

i nod yes and hug her goodbye .

I open the door to my new room and smile, everything is perfect , i jump on the bed and there's no squeaking noise like my old be bed ,

i open my wadrobe and arraange my clothes i don't have much but with the little i was able to hide from steve , i ll buy more with some food.

i take a shower and wear some comfortable clothes and sleep soundlessly and peaceful something i haven't done in years .
