Dare’s Troubles (Dare/Dares Pov) - Chapter 2

"Ugh!" I screamed. I was frustrated , it's been 3 days and I haven't been able to leave for work because of Drea. I couldn't leave her off with anybody because everybody was busy or unavailable. On top of that I rarely had enough money to afford a babysitter and rent was almost due. I needed money, a babysitter, and a new apartment or house with an affordable price that was big enough for me and Drea. But things weren't looking so good for me. I was in a bad position.. my boss had just called me and told me if I didn't come in today I'd be fired. "WAAAAAAAAAHH!!" Drea's loud cry took me out of my thoughts. I rushed to her room. "Drea are you ok?!" Her sobs continued. I picked her up and checked her for bruises but found nothing. "What's wrong?" I asked patiently as she laid her head on my shoulder and sniffed. I started rocking her and patted her back and before you know it she fell asleep. She was probably just tired. After I laid her down I sat down next to her crib trying to figure out my next move and what choices I did have. I refused to sit here and just cry. It would make me look pathetic, weak, and most importantly it would make Ace and Chloe think they won. I wanted to show them I was doing just fine without them! Yesterday Chloe came knocking at my door trying to apologize. It angered me even more but I didn't let my anger take control of me and ignored her. And after that I decided to move to a new apartment or house. Things were already hard, rent was due tomorrow and I only had 67$ left. My ex-bf used to help pay rent and bills but now, I'd have to do it by myself which meant working to overtime but that was only if I still had my job after today. I sighed and stood up, stomping straight to my closet. I grabbed some blue jeans, a cropped hoodie, and set straight to the bathroom. I immediately sat my stuff down and stared at myself in the mirror. "Look at me.. I look pathetic." I whispered to myself. I quickly changed and started brushing my hair. My long luscious curly black hair. If there was anything that never failed to make me proud it was my hair. I then quickly started on my make up. After finishing my light make up I looked at myself. I looked OK, that's the best I could do and that's what I wanted everybody to think. I don't need nobody's pity, I'm doing just fine!! I walked to Drea's room and dressed her quickly while she was sleep. I put her in her cart seat and was careful not to wake her. I set her by the door and packed some of her toys, snacks, wipes, diapers, clothes and everything else I thought she needed. I quickly grabbed my purse and put Drea's bag on my back. I picked up the cart seat and set her in the car. Before making sure she was strapped down I sat both of our bags down. After settling her in I walked over to my door , hopped in, and started driving. "What am I going to do…" I thought. A few minutes had passed and I was still lost in my thoughts. Baby Drea was still sound asleep and I had eased my mind by listening to the radio. Suddenly the sound of screeching tired became loud and before I knew it my car was flipping over. A black vehicle rammed into the front of mines, sending my car flipping into the hair. The car slammed into a tree mid-air and came crashing upside down. My head had hit something and whatever it was blood started dripping out of my head. "OH GOD, IM SO SORRY!" I heard somebody scream. But I'd hit my head too hard and before I knew it everything was going black. Before my hearing faded I heard baby Drea crying and tears fell from my eyes. "IS DREA OK?!" I yelled, but no words or sound came out. A second later everything went dark.
