"Umm, excuse me? Are you guys hiring?", I asked the manager at Chik-Fil-A.

"How old are you sweety?", she asked.

"I'm 14.", I responded confident. She chuckled a little.

"I'm sorry, but your too young. Maybe in 2 years you can come visit and I will surely hire you.", she said. I sighed.

"Okay.", I put my head down at the fact that I kept hearing the same thing over and over. I went back to the bus stop waiting for the bus to come since I dont have anyone to drive me around. My last stop is the daycare near the train station. The bus arrived. I stepped onto it and tapped my card. Once my 30 day pass information showed up on the small screen, I was able to walk onto it. I made my way all the way to the back and sat down looking out the window.

The bus came to a stop once we arrived to the station. Everyone got up and off including me. I walked down the street on my way to the daycare.

Once I saw the sign, 'Toddler Town', I opened the door and waited at the front desk.

"Hi, are you here to pick up someone?", the lady asked. I scrunched up my face.

"I look like a mother?", I mumbled. I shook my head no.

"I'm sorry, today is my first day. I have to get to know everyone.", she said. I nodded in understanding. I picked up the piece of paper that had the words in bold WE'RE HIRING.

"How old are you?", she asked after the moment of silence observing my every move. I looked up from the paper and at her.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"How old are you."

"I am 14, am I too young to work here because lately everyone's been telling me that I'd have to be 15 or 16 to work that certain job.", I explained.

"No, actually, you'd have to be 13 to work here, you'll just need experience. Do you have any baby siblings or have you ever babysat?", she asked.

"Well, I'm the only child but one time I babysat my grandmother's friend's grandkids.", I said laughing as I noticed that what I said was kind of confusing.

"Well that's fine, the only difference is that it'll be way more kids. Think you can handle it?", she said.

"I'm going to say yes anyways.", I said.

"Alright go ahead and fill out that sheet you have in your hand.", she said pointing at it.

I grabbed the pen that was connected to the desk with a shoe string, so ghetto, and started signing....

*****

It was dark outside. I stayed longer than I was suppose to talking to the lady and getting to know the rest of the kids that were still there.

I walked down the street back to the train station looking around trying to pay attention to my surroundings. Once I was about to cross the street to get on a side walk, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around seeing Joshua behind me. I quickly started back walking.

"Arabiah wait!", he shouted. I kept walking, I don't trust him. It was already 9:00 and it was getting chilli.

"I wanted to apologize please just stop walking.", he said. Well he sounded like he was telling the truth. I stopped and turned around. He started walking over to me.

"Don't move.", I said putting my hand out.

"Umm okay, how are you going to hear me?", I sighed and gave him the signal that he could come closer.

"I'm so sorry for everything I've done, I promise. Its just that I like you. Every time I did something to you, I felt so bad about it. I even got you a gift.", I raised my eyebrow as he pulled me with him. I let it happen because he seemed so genuine and truthful.

I followed him to where ever he was taking me. We ended up behind a building. I became worried.

"I-I have to get home.", I said as my heart began to race from seeing three men coming our way.

"Its okay, they're with me.", he assured me looking back at me. He had a sneaky but evil grin on his face.

I ran from behind the building and saw how far I was from the station and the distance between the daycare. The daycare was closer. I ran that way as they chased after me. I looked back seeing Joshua pull up his shirt letting me know he had a gun. I don't care if he shot me because I been wanting to leave since my mom left me. Once I made it across the street, I ran up to the window and saw one light still on. I banged on the glass door as hard as I could. The lady that I was talking to earlier came out the door seeing me. She was about to open her mouth to say something but the only thing I heard was a loud shot go off! I looked behind me seeing Joshua's arm out with his gun out. I turned back around seeing Ms. Wilson on the ground lying in her pool of blood. I fell to my knees crying my heart out.

"Can't have any witnesses.", Joshua said walking toward me looking around. He put his weapon away and grabbed me.

"Just kill me already.", I cried.

"Nahh baby girl, I just want something from you, then you can go home.", he said dragging me into a car. He put me in the trunk. Who the hell does that anymore?, I thought. As soon as I felt the car move, I began banging on the trunk door from the inside screaming my lungs out until the car came to a stop. The door was opened by Joshua with ductape in his hands. He tried to put it over my mouth but my reflex bit his finger as hard as I possibly could.

"You bitch!", he shouted. I soon felt his fist connect with my jaw and I blacked out.
