Welcome to Reality

Summer Job.

Sunday, I woke up at 7 am. I was really tired since I got like two hours of sleep. I jumped into the shower, brushed my teeth got dressed and went to find my dad. He had managed to wake up, get dressed and was ready to leave. I threw my converse on and we were on our way. We ended up taking a cab to the bookstore, and when we arrived I got a feeling of nerves rush over me. When I walked in, the girl behind the check out counter looked around my age, but judging the way she spoke I think she may be a bit younger. She looked up from the magazine she was reading and smiled "Hey there! How may I help you?" She asked in a sweet voice. "I'm here for the job position." I responded. "OMG Hi! I am Veronica, let me go get my dad... He the owner of the store." She walked off to the back. I looked towards my dad who was getting coffee from the coffee shop, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up. My dad should really cut off the normalities from his day, he doesn't have a job to pay for it all. I won't say anything though... He is a grown man so he can do his own thing.
Veronica came back with her dad. His name is Mr. Reed, talk about ironic. Mr. Reed put a hand toward me an I shook it "Hello miss! I heard you're looking for a job? My name is Ronald Reed I've seen you around the shop plenty of times... You seem to know your way around." I nodded "Yes sir, my name is Autumn... I am 16, I love your bookstore and would love a job here." His smile grew on his face "Well, can you be in on Monday... Say around 10:30? It could be your trial and training day." I was so excited, not only did I need a job to help out, but I wanted it... Because books. "Yes! Oh thank you so much! I will be here 10:30 am sharp!" Mr. Reed looked happy "great! I will have my son Kameron show you around and help you get to know the job tomorrow. See you then." I shook his hand once again and waved to Veronica. Dad and I were now off to drop me home at my mom's.
In the cab; I started talking to my dad "Dad, are you sure I have to go to mom's? I could help you pack up the apartment." He shook his head "No it's okay pumpkin. You can go home and relax. I'll pack up everything and when you come to the apartment next time you can pack up your room." I sighed. My dad would look for a job that his degree in business would acquire but, he usually will wait a little so it doesn't seem like he is desperate before going for something new. At least that's what happens with the women he dates. We pulled in front of my mom's and dad said goodbye and gave me a hug. "Are you sure you don't want to come in? I'm sure mom wouldn't --" he interrupted "no no, it's okay I have to meet up with my buddy." I said goodbye.
My mom's house was a little cottage just outside New York City... It was yellow, had a small white porch and little garden up front. I walked inside and the smell of cookies filled my nose. I didn't see my brothers anywhere but my mom was in the kitchen baking. "Hi mom!" I shouted as I passed the kitchen doorway. "Hello sweetheart, how was your weekend at your dad's?" I told her about everything which was like an emotional rollercoaster, but it ended on a good note with the job. "Oh, I am so proud of you for getting a job! I'll take you tomorrow on my way to the bakery." Mom worked in a little bakery in the city. Mom had always said that she "wasn't really a living in the city kind of girl, but she never said she couldn't work in the city." I nodded "okay, thank you!" Then one of my brothers grabbed my leg, "Autumn!!!!!!" He screamed hunting me as if I've been gone for years. "Hey, Mister Eli you're supposed to be taking a nap." My mother said as I hugged my grinning brother. He gave my mom a sly look and giggled " I was sleeping mommy, but I woke up." Eli is 4 years old and is the youngest of the three of us kids. I have a middle brother as well who is 12 his name is Levi. Levi and Eli have a different dad than I do, his name is Jacob. Mom and him got married after Levi was born when I was Eli's age. About 3 and a half years ago Jacob was killed in a car accident. It's sad, because he was truly like another dad to me, and it was also hard for mom... She loved him.
"Where is Levi?" I asked. Mom smiled " At Mack's birthday party." Mack or Mackenzie was Levi's first crush since the third grade... Everyone knows except Mack. "Oooo" I said and then winked at my mom. "I am going to read, talk to you later" I said as I walked to my room on the second floor.
I sat on my bed and began to read my book once again. The story was getting good, Finley (the main character) is the lonely, quiet girl who starts to fall for a "bad boy" who's name... Ironically is the same as my youngest brother. It's just becoming such a jaw dropper. (Eli is kinda creepy at first haha.)

OKAY THIS IS ONE OF MY LONGER CHAPTERS!!!!!
Okay I gotta get up early so I should straighten my hair and head to bed. Goodnight....unless it's not night time then um.... Well this is awkward.
