2 Summer Kimberly

I was always running away from my house because of my drug addict parents since I was little I used to watch my dad come home from the bar drunk and beat up my mum. But now he's dead and I don't feel anything except pure anger. He left us with nothing, not even a single dime.

And now I need to put up with my mum's drug-addicted ass. After the man so-called my dad died she cried and cried her self to sleep up to one point she couldn't handle it anymore and started to pop pills smoke And even drink.

What type of mum does that. Enough of my parents let's talk about me my name is summer. Summer Kimberly, I'm 18 years old I just graduated from high school. And now my one and only dream is to go to college but unfortunately, we can't afford that my mom doesn't even work the only thing keeping us from being homeless is my part-time jobs.

But still, it barely pays for our food and how I'm going to pay for my college education.

We gotta have more than a miracle to pay it all and sadly miracles don't happen to me. Now I'm just sitting here cleaning my job bathroom floor. Wait did I told you my two-part time jobs. I work in a maid-themed restaurant from Monday to Wednesday in the early afternoon and I work in the supermarket from Thursday to Friday in the morning. Sucks to be me huh.

The next day

As I woke up I checked my alarm clock it was 7 am.

two more hours until I start my job I say to myself with a sigh. I stood up and walked to the living room to see if my mum was there as expected she was there lying down sleeping like a dead less zombie.

I turned on the hot water on and hopped in the shower after 10 minutes of showering I got out and head to my room. With my mum still dead to sleep I got dressed and head to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Went I finished it only was 8:20am soon I need to go I say out loud but it mostly sounded like a whisper.

Went I walked to my room my mum was awake. I said to her that her breakfast is in the counter as harsh as I could be. And went to my room to put on my shoe and grabbed my bag and headed out. Then stopped went I heard my mum asked went I will be back I said to her i wasn't sure then head out the door.

I took the bus to my job and went I got there I greeted my coworkers with a "good morning" and one of my biggest smile they were as surprised as I were. And maybe I don't blame myself as I heard my name being called I snap out of my thoughts. "hey summer" my best friend Mariah says. Hey I say back "what's up with you today you all smiley out of a sudden" why wounded I will be happy today we get paid I say. "Of course your only smiling about that" we both giggled. As a customer called Mariah I headed to the locker room to change into my maid outfit. And went back out to take orders.

*****

Went I was done with my shift I went to the locker rooms and change into my clothes then waited for my friend to finish as she came she asked me if I was going to her house for a while. As I said yes I thought about how I Dont want to go back home just yet.

As Mariah unlocked her door she was talking about how much money she was making at night shift with her so called "job" she hasn't told she what job it is yet because she was too scared if I would have judged her. But she should know by now that I will never judge her. So like I told a few weeks ago I started a new job at night remember. She began to say yes I remember I replied. Will I'm a stripper at the club from down the street she said.
