A repetition of a cycle

Monday mornings are the worst, am I right? . mum said I had to start working as I'm speaking I am managing three jobs and let me tell you this a pain in the arse but who am I to complain, my mum is a drug addict who takes pleasure in hurting her own daughter for her own benefit and we'll my sister's, I don't want them to go through what I go through and even if I did, mummy dearest wouldn't allow it.

I'd just finished my last shift when I walked out of the coffee shop I work at. I used to complain on the amount of hours my manager gave me but who am i , I need the cash . Bob sent my wage for the month and I sent it off to the tax collectors , I mean it's not much but it is useful in some point of view. I started walking down the street when I heard sounds, footsteps to be presise , it's uncommon for people to walk around at this time of the night and it's weird that someone is pacing at my footsteps. I stopped, turned but I could see no one , I started walking again , the footsteps became louder and louder that's when I began running. Luckily my house isn't really far from where I am now but I'll manage. I ran as fast as I could and finally my gate , I unlocked it as fast as I could and charged for the door. I opened it and shut it closed .

"look who's back?" I heard my sister Amaya say, I turn in her direction and stand there, confused. "where's mum?" I asked still surprised no one attacked me . "where's mum?" I ask again a tad bit louder this time. "Amaya, Adriana where is mum?"

" Well if you really wanna know that bad well here's what, mum is in a rehab centre, social workers came and inspected the rate of our house , so now since I'm already 18, they said I could take care of us now , you my dear little sister are goanna have to take more shifts than what you have now. " Amaya said bored out of her wits. "well firstly how did they come to know of our situation??" I said meekly.

" oh well little sister your loud pathetic screams of pain resorted us in this situation, 'the motherless' situation and until she gets back you shall work you arse off to fill our needs , got it? and if you are going to protest I would decide against it if I was you , there is no getting out of this " Adrianna said turning around and walking off upstairs. " By the way school starts next week " Amaya finished off following Adrianna. Oh well shitt I'm f****d , oh wait no I'm not , this means no more abuse from mum and it's not like she ever paid the bills and stuff I'll just carry on as I did . As for the whole stalker situation I'll just ignore it , atleast for the time being.

I wake up in the morning as I usually do , bathe , put on my uniform and off to work . Got there on time and started working. Place people's orders and bring them their packages . Afterwards I get on the train , and off to the the coffee shop since I'm not needed for babysitting anymore so I work extra hours at the coffee shop.

I get there change into another uniform and start to wait for people to come in and buy coffee. I sit there with my busted phone as I hear 'ding' a customer just walked in , how lovely I thought . " hello and welcome to 'theee coffee shop' where you get to make your day blissful with mouth watering coffee, what would like to have today" I said with enough enthusiasm as possible, I mean Bob is watching me ,apparently I scare customers away with my pessimist attitude. " a latte " a deep hoarse voice said , sending shivers down my spine . I look up to the person and damn that boy has golden hair and a bright smile , I must say though he looks hot if not more. I turn as I realised that I'd been staring, I make his latte and he pays for it . He makes his way to the back of the booth, secluded. Hmm strange boy, strange boy indeed , but who am I to judge I'm lonely, I don't have friends and I don't think I ever will ,but deep down I still have very little hope that I'll make friends one way or another.

I take out my uniform leaving me in a white sleeveless vest ,black jeans and sneakers . I really have to put money aside for me , for my needs . I was just about to leave when I noticed the boy is still sitting there and he is angry , frustrated. I don't usually give a damn but something just pulled me to him . I nudged him . "Hey it's pretty late and I'm sure Bob's goanna make his way over here and tell you to leave " I said calmly. I look at the dark circles under his eyes , I feel his pain , that pain where you've been getting less sleep than anticipated and overworking too much. He growled, ok I've had it with his grumpy attitude , yeah I tend to give up really quickly " Are you ok, do you need help with something?" that's when I noticed his wearing a Princeton Academy uniform, the school's aren't open yet , wait he's in Princeton! ." You're in Princeton Academy?" he growled further. This dude must have anger issues or he's just grumpy. I peep into whatever he's busy scribbling , calculus easy. I push him aside, I shocked him I know I'd be weirded out if I was shoved aside and snatched my pencil. I look at the equation and write it down with the pencil , I start explaing it and he looks at me dumbfounded, I snap my fingers.

"h_huh what!" he said and I looked at him expressionless. " Look I'm helping so you can leave , rather take my help or scrible your head until Bob the owner comes and kicks you out and we don't want that now do we? " I looked at him . and he just stares at me and snaps back to reality " yeah no , we don't want that " he coughed alittle "Can you help me? " he said now more comfortable.

" Yeah, I can help you "
