Leah's pov
I got woken up out my sleep by a loud train . I sat up and went into my suitcase getting a water bottle and some chips I bought I ate them until I became full wrapping them back up putting it back in my suitcase . I changed my shoes into slides and zipped my suitcase back up . I needed to go back to the store and get some more foods for the week . The owner at the strip club said come back next week on Friday which wasn't that long . It was now Monday meaning I only had four days . I needed to survive till then , I hope I got the job I mean I have the body for it . I'm not the kind of girl to be a stripper but I need money .
Growing up I was never in a broke house hold I was born in New York Harlem but moved to Arizona because of my moms job then moved back to Harlem when she became a lawyer but sadly got fired since she chose drugs over it.
My mom was never broke we lived in a big house and nice community. The house I use to live in before I left because of my mother was big there was 7 bedrooms it was huge , even though she did drugs she still kept the bills paid . I couldn't live there anymore because she treated me like a hoe off the street I could tell she didn't have love for me .
Knocking out of my thoughts i gathered my things leaving out the abandoned apartments hoping when I come back it will be the same since I don't have anywhere else to go .
I walked in the streets trying to find a place to shower sadly not seeing anything
I huffed and kept walking for I don't know how long .
As I was walking my feet got tired so I sat on a bench till I got one more strength to walk some more .
I began walking again seeing a corner store going inside .
I had a little bag so I grabbed it holding it and going inside . I got a few stares as they saw me with a suitcase but I didn't care
I went in the isles seeing there were no people nor cameras .
Stupid I said out loud shaking my head
I looked around seeing if anybody was coming dumping anything I saw in my bag . I went into the next isle grabbing wasters and sodas
Then another isle grabbing more soap and lotion and shaving cream and pads .
Once I had everything I saw a exit door and ran out even though people stared but I didn't care , I ran till I got 2 blocks down from the store
I sat down behind a building dumbing everything I had into the suitcase smiling .
I opened my sprite drinking it . It was so good
I grabbed my suitcase and going back to the abandoned apartment I was In and laid down with my stuff very close by
3 days later
Today I needed to make sure I had everything together . tomorrow at 12 I had a appointment for the strip club and I've been praying he hires me . I needed to find a place to shower since I didn't get to the last two days besides using a sink . I was tired of carrying all this stuff so I decided to try and take the cushions out the couch and put my suitcase in it putting the cushions back .
Yes that worked out perfectly I said to myself .
I grabbed my grape soda and Doritos and left out going to look for somewhere to shower tonight .
A few hours later
I had nothing there was no where to shower . The only option I had was to go back to the homeless shelter and go shower . I walked back to the abandoned apartments going to grab me a change of clothes and my soap and shaver and shaving cream I sat there for a minute because my feet where burning.
