Lucian
"Coming." It is not what you think it is. I can explain, I swear.
I am Lucy, and this is a beautiful Sunday morning.
My landlord is at the door yelling my name and asking me to come to pay the rent, despite knowing my mother died not too long ago and I have legit no money.
"Hello," I greet the asshole. "About time, you bless me with your presence Lucian" where is the fucking rent?". Fuck. The rent. I am so broke, it's not even funny.
"I will pay next week, John, I swear!". I have applied for as many jobs as possible, and I know I am gonna get a call for sure. I am a brilliant unemployed architect after all.
"You can always pay me by other ways, you know." He eyes me suggestively. Ew. I am gonna throw up.
"I'll pay you the money by next week, I promise, John." Just please leave me the fuck alone you perv. "You better pay, bitch."
It takes all of my control to stop me from slapping the shit out of him just because I need this place to stay. So, I nod and slam the door in his face.
I've been living in this crappy studio apartment for 2 years now. It's not that big, but it is sufficient for me considering the amount I have to pay.
The neighbors are pretty friendly, so that's a plus.
.
I have never felt this hopeless in my entire life. Not even when my crush rejected me and told me I was too ugly for him to like me or when my father thought it would be a good idea to sell me to some old perv, just for some money. Never.
Money. I need money so badly. My mom died last week and left me with debts to pay. Apparently, she bought tons of drugs and never paid for it. Now, I am the one who is getting threats and calls to pay the price.
She was an addict who was never there for me, I had to raise myself on my own, which honestly sucked.
Seeing the little kids laughing and having fun with their family, brings tears in my eyes every fucking time. When I was a kid, I never received any love or affection from my parents, not even an 'I love you'. I was the unwanted child, after all.
It took me four years and thousands of therapy sessions to believe that I deserve to be loved and I have given enough. My parents really fucked with my mental health.
I need a good job so desperately. And to my surprise, I got selected for an interview tomorrow at Moreno Enterprise. It is a very huge company, I must say. There will be a lot of people competing for the job. I hope I will be able to stand out and get the job. I hope everything goes well.
Hope. One can only hope, after all.
I have no good clothes, no money or food.
All I have is books and OH! I have Char in my life. Charlotte, Char, for short, is my best friend, who is always there for me. She helped me get better. She has been my best friend since my sophomore year.
I pull out my phone to text her. I need some good office clothes.
Me: Char, I need your help!
Bae💋: I am here, sup' bitch?
Me: I need some office clothes today.
Bae💋: What for? Finally got the job?😳
Me: I hope so. Tomorrow is the interview😔
Bae💋: Ohh kay, I am sending my driver with some sexy fits, wear any of them tomorrow k?
bae💋: You'll get the job, K? Don't stress.
Me: K, Take care ♡
Bae💋: Best of luck, babe. Take care <3.
.
Two hours, and 10 outfits later, I have laid the clothes down near me on the bed, brushed my teeth, put my documents file on the clothes, set the alarm, and changed into my oversized tee.
The clothes she sent me were a bit short, but perfect nonetheless Char is the same size as me, She is just blessed with more ass than me.
I have a night shift tomorrow, I work at a library. I don't get paid that well, but it pretty much covers my rent. Plus, I get to read books in my free time there, so it's all good.
Mrs. Ombre, the owner of the library, treats me like her daughter, the daughter she never had. She insists I work for her, in hopes to spend her time together with me. She is the best.
She knows my financial conditions are not good, so she crochets me beautiful tops, brings me lunch and pays me okay-ish amount.
She doesn't like to talk about her family background, or her husband. I wonder why.
It is her birthday tomorrow, I have to buy a gift for her. She loves flowers and creating memories. We have a beautiful picture together, I'll get it framed by tomorrow, and buy her favorite flower, Orchids. I know she is going to love the present.
I am grateful for the people in my life who love me for who I am.
I double check my alarms and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling , praying that I get selected tomorrow, as I gradually drift off to sleep hoping I get no nightmares tonight.
Tomorrow is the big day.
