Room Mate

Chapter 2

 I wake up to the sound of Mandy and my father fighting. So, I knew it was time to get ready for school and make them breakfast. They were arguing about kicking me out. I planned on skipping school today so I could find an apartment. I went down stairs dressed. So far they didn’t even talk to me so I made pancakes. I handed them there food and then my father spoke. You are to leave this house and never come back whatever you have in your back pack is all your allowed to take with you. You will not be allowed back in my house. You are a horrible cook. And a w***e. I will never consider you my daughter in fact I think it’s time to tell you the truth I’m not your father. After, your mom died I got a dna test done and I’m not your father. I knew there was no way a selfish, w***e was my kid. So, get the f**k out of my house now. 

  I ran out the door grabbed my duffle bag and started walking to the apartments near the school to see if anyone needed a room mate. I started to cry as I walked down the street. I told my self that he wasn’t worth my f*****g tears anymore. I got to the apartments in 20 minutes. I walked up and asked the person who runs the apartments if anyone in the building was looking for a room mate. I guess my luck turned around. She said that a young boy was looking for a room mate for awhile now and he was located on the 2 nd floor apt 207. I took the elevator up and knocked on the door. Jeremy pain answered the door and looked confused. I asked are you looking for a roommate? I can pay you my half or the rent right now. I blasted out knowing that this was my only hope. He then says your the quiet girl from school right? Mindy is your name right?  I said yes but my name is Miya. He then says he needs to get ready for school and I could come in and he will ask me a few questions. 

   The question he first asked is why I needed a place to live. I answered with I just need a place to live at the moment until I can afford something on my own. The second question he asked is how soon I wanted to move in. And of course I answered with today would be great but if not I can find some where’s to stay until the time being. He answered with that’s fine. He then asked if I knew how to cook. I answered yes, but I'm not very good. He then showed me to my room and asked if that’s all I had. I said yes quietly. And he just shook his head and walked away. 

  Jeremy seemed nice. After I threw my stuff on the floor. He showed where everything was and he said after school we will discuss a food shopping schedule and a cooking schedule. He asked if I needed a ride to school but I answered no. That I was going to go do some shopping for things that I need. Jeremy skipped school with me and took me to some stores to get a bed and a dresser and some bath room supplies. After that we went back to the apartment I thanked him over and over again for taking me and helping me bring everything in and helping me set everything up. I gave him money for gas. He wanted to see my cooking skills. So, it was my job to make lunch. I decided on grilled cheese. I gave him his and he asked me where mine was. I told him I wasn’t hungry. Which I lied I was starving. He downed the grilled cheese and he said I was a good cook  and that who ever told me I wasn’t was a liar. 

  After I cleaned up after lunch it was time for me to get ready for work. I walked to work. I got there just in time. My feet where hurting my bruises where killing me. I hopped the pain would go away. But it didn't. After a long 5 hour shift it was time for me to go home.
