data-p-id=b51f8b8b54816758d282518ac4374ad3,"You're late," my boss snapped as soon as I step inside the changing room. All heads shot to my direction, causing me to look down in embarrassment.

data-p-id=6a0e08ab5a94336cf2a498fad6efb49f,"I'm sorry, I-" I was cut off when my boss told us to hurry and get to our designated stations. He stormed out of the changing room, muttering under his breath. I took a look around the room and realize that everyone was shuffling about, whether to put on their uniforms or rushing to their stations. I snap out of my daze and quickly change into my uniform.

data-p-id=d9cf106b42e92232d1e0ac74be5d13a3,I rushed to the main area of the restaurant that I work at so that I could start taking orders. I have been rushing about taking orders and serving the customers. I was now halfway through my shift and was returning to the kitchen when I felt someone grope my butt.

data-p-id=3ec12eea5a48033d7b46ac30e4c487ca,I spun around and slapped the culprit across the face. He stood to his feet immediately with a murderous look on his wrinkled old face. I took a glance to the other side of the table and saw that he was dining with a beautiful young woman, who did not seem the least bit affected by what was going on.

data-p-id=153ee271c9924493987f97fcbb9bd380,Before anything else could happen, my boss came and apologizes for my behavior. He even offered for their meal to be on the house. The man had a scowl on his disgusting face, with eyes shooting daggers at me.

data-p-id=577189bed1cf9f052980cb7badcf87b8,"I can explain, he was-"

data-p-id=686a216b29fda499e39509ed9fd03a1c,"I don't want to hear your excuse. You assaulted a customer and didn't even have the decency to apologize. You're fired!" I gaped at my boss for accusing me of being in the wrong. The man, who had assaulted me, smirked in victory at me.

data-p-id=c0f0c32eeb05d2d7c52285979c45c50b,"But he was the one that groped my butt" I said in frustration, feeling as though the whole world was against me.

data-p-id=c06380a541c39a78dbd8263147ed1e03,"You know what? I am sorry... I'm sorry that I didn't allow you to touch me with your old, wrinkly hand" I spat at the disgusting old man.

data-p-id=82234d6bc3c33dd403f8f20cba9d3056,Turning around I didn't realize that everyone had stop doing what they were doing to watch the scene unfold before them. I held my head down feeling embarrassed from all the attention and made my way to the back to grab my things. I looked around the empty changing room before letting out a long sigh, then exiting through the back door.

data-p-id=4d583fa148787c54c8b2a1d2a608e671,Standing outside in the alley, I let the frustrated tears flow. I was now jobless and probably homeless soon, because I will not be able to pay my rent. It was like the universe enjoyed torturing me.

data-p-id=c839231f000800155eb8e4bd23ca343c,First, my dad abandons me, and then my mom died, leaving me all by myself. I don't know if I have any more family out there, because all I knew was my mom and she never once talked about her family. In this moment I felt truly alone. Working at the restaurant with my best friend, Avery made my life a little less sad. She wasn't at work today, which made this a lot harder to handle. At least she would be here to comfort me.

data-p-id=6a6a24b580c84a06af7b7d34e034abf7,This job was my only source of income and the little I made was barely enough to cover all expenses. I had to drop out of high school when my mom got sick, so that I could work to pay off her medical bills, since we didn't have insurance.

data-p-id=ba04a0bad6801032e03d7aa6041fdb14,While I was busy mulling over my thoughts I felt a drop of water, then another and another. I looked up at the sky and smiled as the rain came pouring down. Oh how I wish the rain could wash away my troubles. I stood in the rain for few more minutes before I decided to seek shelter.

data-p-id=e23d24dd89a59668c2bb81b1c6cbeff8,I wasn't in the mood to go home to my cold and empty apartment to wallow in self-pity. I began walking aimlessly around when I spot a bar. One drink wouldn't hurt right? Who am I kidding? One drink alone could not ease my mind. I wanted a temporary escape from the mess that is my life. So with that thought in mind, I walked inside the bar.

data-p-id=b709b326e5e4de5e63f9fd1ab140d8aa,I went straight for the restroom as soon I step foot inside the bar since I was soaking wet. I took a look in the mirror and saw that I looked like a mess. There was nobody else inside the restroom so I took off my shirt and wrung as much water as I could out of it, then put it back on. I spotted a hand dryer on the wall beside the sink and decide to go crouch under it to try and get as dry as I could.

data-p-id=fbcf5ed1fbc0197cbb35491dc1941582,Ten minutes later after being in that uncomfortable position for so long, I stretched my legs. I felt a little better with my clothes not clinging to me as much. I mean I wasn't completely dry, but I wasn't completely wet either so I'm wasn't complaining.

data-p-id=8ff0e10bab8a749a8dfd719f2e883ac5,I stepped out of the restroom and head straight for the bar. I took a seat and ordered six k******e shots. The bartender gave me a questioning look, but served my shots anyway. I then downed all six shots in less than a minute.

data-p-id=7a1f10b217d8a0fe8bc2baf7fc3ca579,"Whoa, slow down there" I hear someone say beside me to my right. I turn to the side and saw the most beautiful man that I have ever laid eyes on. He had dark hair, striking blue eyes, a straight nose and full pink lips. He wore an all-black suit and had an aura around him that screamed danger.

data-p-id=95bd71c82043d7ee57cbe242a3022102,I don't know how long I was staring at him for. I heard him clear his throat and then his lips pulled into a smirk. I quickly looked away, blushing furiously. I had been caught checking out a complete stranger. I dared another glance at him, only to see him already staring at me and I quickly look away.
