Chapter 1 : Misfortune
"Thalia, the boss called for you!"
Someone yelled from the back and i quickly left the dishes to do later.
"Yes boss?"
"Thalia, you're fired."
The boss simply said while lighting his cigarette. My eyes widened in shock and slammed my palms on the counter top.
"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"
I protested confused on how the hell i am being fired.
"Simply because your always late and drive away all the customers because of your face missy."
The Laura the boss's wife said. It's not fair!, the reason i'm always late is because the subway gets delayed, i have classes and other work to do! And also i don't drive away the customers! This is just how i looked!
"Here's your last paycheck Ms. Roberts, two hundred dollars, take it or leave it."
I snatched it away from his hand and started heading towards the exit.
"FVCK YOU!YOUR PIZZA TASTES LIKE WET CARDBOARD ANYWAYS AND YOUR BEER TASTES LIKE PISS! GOOD RIDDANCE!"
You yelled and slammed the restaurant's door. Looking the the $200 dollars in you hands you sighed and looked at the dark skies. It's almost 6pm.
"This isn't enough to pay my months rent."
You heaved a sigh again and hop onto your bike to head towards your apartment.
I am Nathalia Roberts, just a foolish 23 year old who has high hopes in going to the big city and failed miserably.
Well i am miserable eversince i was born yep.
Finally arriving at your apartment you were horrified to see your things getting removed.
"Why are you taking my things away!?" you shouted
"Oh are you Ms. Thalia Roberts?, you are getting evicted by being overdue to your rent, orders from Mrs. Smith the landlord."
"I-i will pay just give me some ti-."
You stuttered as you handed over the $200 bill nervously but it was still not enough since i am $500 short.
"No you are not."
"Ms. Roberts, i am very sorry but i can't take this anymore i have always been so patient but this behavior..... is not making me any profit, i am removing you from my residence."
"N-no please-."
You were driven away from the door by the movers and carelessly throw away your furniture and clothes.
Tears started streaming on your face as you still processed what happened. You sniffled and hurriedly pick up your phone to call your boyfriend, Liam.
"Hey this is Liam, please send you message through the beep and i will get back to you later."
He did not answer.
"H-hey babe, can i stay with you tonight? something happened and i have nowhere else to stay at, i will be there in a few."
Maybe he was busy on his job. After all he was working hard so we can move in together and get married.
You picked up your clothes from the floor and put inside your backpack to carry. Still tears streaming down your cheeks you rode your bike and headed towards Liam's apartment.
