If you say so

Grayson

Driving home from school Grayson walks into his apartment to quickly change into his work clothes. Grayson who already missed his first  class from staying up late, rushed to get to work so that he didn't get fired. Grayson was already on the verge of being fired from  his bar tending job for always coming to work late, he couldn't afford to lose his job since it was the only job paying his bills and rent. Once Grayson arrives to work he quickly gets behind the counter to take orders . since it was a Friday night the bar was pretty crowded.

Women and men crowding up the bar dancing and drinking, while Grayson serves drinks miserably. "What's got you so down"Skyla asks. Skyla was Graysons coworker, and also his close friend from grade school. Grayson and Skyla became friends when they were both in the 3rd grade. Ever since they became friends grayson always had a crush on skyla. But that crush slowly faded when grayson confessed to Skyla freshman year. skyla rejected him because skyla likes girls. Now in their senior year of high school Grayson respects skyla but deep inside knows that he still had lingering feelings for her. "Nothing" grayson bluntly replies.

"Whoa whoa calm down Jamal, I don't know who pissed in your cereal  this morning but we gone have to tone it down a little" skyla laughs . "But no really what happened to you, you look like shit". Well thank you I really needed that. He replies  sarcastically.

Graysons POV

It's not that I'm mad, its just that I'm frustrated, today has been a really shitty day for me then I have to come to this really shitty job that barely pays well, but I have no choice but to stay because its the only job I have. I ended up switching shifts with skyla because I couldn't take anymore orders. When the bar gets crowded like this i usually take my break early, but my boss forbade me from taking any breaks that day. Once my shift was finally over i call skyla over to take her home since i was her "personal Uber driver"

Finally at home i skip dinner as usual and head into my room to lay the pain away.

If you're wondering why I'm in my own apartment struggling to pay bills, and not at my parents home is because my father kicked me out his house. I don't even call that man my father anymore because of what he did over the years. When i was young i witnessed my so called father abusing my mother for not letting him touch her. Ever since the first time he beat her, he saw how obedient she became and continued to do it. Every time i got involved in a fight with my "father" my mother ended up yelling at me cause she knew what he was capable of, and the sick fuck liked it.  When i turned 13 years old my own mother committed suicide. I was sad that my mother died, but relieved she doesn't have to deal with this man again.

When my mother passed away my "sperm giver"tried to blame her death on me. He knew that I wasn't soft as my mother and hated me for that so he used her death to try to make me his fucking pet. That obviously did not work it just made me hate him more than i already did. When i turned 15 years old My father remarried to this rich bitch. This rich bitch had a son of her own who was 13 at the time. I didn't like her one bit, she was the one of the reasons my father kicked me out. It's not like I didn't want to leave its just that i was broke and a minor. I'm now 19. Like i was saying, I didn't like her at all, she tried to play victim all the time which always caused me and my father to fight. With all this shit going on In my house it wouldn't be surprising to know that i am failing at school. Once i turned 18, my fathers wife took my failing at school as an advantage and convinced my father that i was a "bad  influence" on Michael, her son. I was planning on moving out already, but only when i had money. I was going to continue using my father and the rich bitch but he kicked me out.

and now here i am broker than a damn bitch.
