Nick's P.O.V
I grew up with my dad only back my mom passed away when I was 2. Then my dad worked hard to give me the life I deserved. (Note sarcasm) He worked so hard that he was never really home and his company made it big eventually. The first day he brought home a big paycheck was on September 24, 2006, when I was 16 years old.
About 11 years later
I was sitting in my office and I was growing hungry and I wanted a blue barry muffin. So I thought the bakeries down the street has good muffins. I was walking down the street when a woman walked into me I looked at her and she was beautiful. I looked down she was about 5'4 with a bit of a tan she had curly brown hair and brown eyes with freckles scattered all across her face. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And she was polite. As soon as I came back to reality I realized she was talking she said: " I so so sorry sir I should have been paying more attention what can I do to make it up to you?"
I looked down at her smiled and said: " While I don't think you need to do anything to repay me but if you want to you can buy me my blue barry muffin from the shop you just walked out of."
She looked up at me as tears filled her eyes I had no idea why all is sad as she could buy me a $2 muffin.
then she said while trying to hold back her tears " I can't go back in there I just got fired."
when she said those words that is when she completely broke down. I didn't get it she could jet get another job it's not that hard, is it? then she sat down on the curb and looked up at me and said: " I am sorry I am just super stressed I didn't mean to involve you here is $2 go get yourself the muffin you wanted." she softly gave me the money and weak smile.
I then went down and sat next to her and said: " You know we all have bad days want to talk about it?"
then she looked at me and sad" Why would I tell you? You are a random guy I bumped into on the street, no offense."
"Exactly I am a random guy you most likely never see again so why not pour your heart out to me?" I said back to her
' Okay, I guess that makes sense but for any of this to make sense we need to go back about 11 years okay?" she replied
"Yeah I guess that is fine," I say back
"Okay so September 24, 2006, my mom and dad were on there way back from the mall when they got into a car crash and they passed away. I was only 11 years old and I was so sad. I ended up living with my grandma and uncle. My uncle would abuse and r**e me almost every day. My grandma couldn't do anything to help me because she is sick. I can't do anything about it because I am weak." she looks up at me as if to ask if she should continue o noded " My grandma is sick and I am the only one that pays the bills and I mean all of them as in the house bills and all the medical bills. So moving on last night I found out that my grandma is getting worse. She has to have surgery that cose 100,000 dollars. I was up really late last night crying and I woke up 1 hour late giving me 20 minutes to get ready and all the way here. I almost made it on time but I was late by 5 minutes. So my boss and I got into an argument about it and he fired me, My chances for being able to pay for my grandma's surgery were already really low and now it is close to impossible because I don't even have a job." I looked at her sad eyes and rubbed her back trying to comfort her.
