Meika Anderson, a person who is trying to cope with everything just one year after she lost her parents.
Gabriel Vaughn, a person who was famous in his school had everything he ever wanted but lost everything including his eyesight.
What happens whe...
Everything seems like nothing anymore. I used to feel more alive with myself, I used to feel happy, I used to have something to live for, but now I just feel lost. My art used to be for fun, but now it has meaning, a really dark meaning.
My parents haven't been close with my family members, except for my Grandma. So when my parents died she took me in and took care of me. She was the person that cared for me who understood what I lost and what she did too. But as you know it she couldn't take care of me anymore no she didn't die but it was my turn to take care of her to make her feel happy after she did so much for me.
I dropped out of school to take care of her. Not only that I didn't have a lot of money either.
Grandmama says "You have so much to live for . Stop worrying about me too much you can put me in the old age home I'll be fine" yeah and put her in some place unknown to her after she has done so much for me. She's is the only person in my family I have since the other family members act dead to me.
So here I am looking for a second job for myself. I do have a job in a Cafe and they do pay, but not enough to make our ends meet. A just turned 18 year old who doesn't have any experience in anything looking for job is gonna be rough I know and I am lucky to get a job at a place.
"Please Sir, you don't understand I need a job." all I could see was a look of pity in his but he still said "I'm truly sorry but we have a lot of employees and less money we have to literally fire a few of these people and shut down, How can we hire new ones?" I just gave up right then and there after asking him again and again if he has spot. "Thank you for your time then, wont bother you again."
I made my way back to our apartment. I don't know how many times to say to Grandma over and over again that I didn't get a job. But surprise surprise as soon as I opened the door a stranger my grandma's age and my grandma were sitting on the couch. She saw my confused face and said " Meika, meet my friend Genevieve and Genevieve meet my grand daughter Meika."
Ah the famous Genevieve Vaughn my Grandma always talks about. She and my grandma were best friends when they were younger and still are. I'm surprised how far their friendship has come too.
"Hi Mrs Vaughn, heard a lot about you." She laughed and said "Good things I hope and please call me grandma number 2" it was my turn to laugh as I said "Will sure do"
"So I heard that you have a hard time finding a second job so I had to come here"
Huh? How will she help "What do you mean"
"Honey, Will you be able to do babysitting job? Its for my grandson"
"Sure how old is he?"
"You have to come and see." she winked.
(WHA?!!)
"I mean I would be happy but-"
"Good good your amount is a 1000$ per month"
"Isn't that too-"
"Is it too less I can increase it by 500 Will you be satisfied"
"No no no Its too much"
"Ok I guess you are good come to this address" she gives me sticky note
"BYE MEIKA BYE ANGELA" and just like that she was gone
What did I get myself into.
