Jasey Rae's POV

Hey, I'm Jasey Rae Hall, I am 18 years old. I live in Australia with my older brother Kyle, he's 24 turning 25 this coming Friday. At the age of 4, my father left. And after he left, my mother went insane. She started drinking and then she eventually turned to drugs, and she started getting abusive. So when my brother turned 18, he moved away and thankfully took me with him. Anyways, I am starting College in a week and I need to start looking for dorm rooms and a job. Procrastination is real.

"Jasey Rae. Jasey wake up." I hear my brothers groggy voice.

"What time is it?"

"6:30 in the A.M."

He tries to joke with me.

"What the actual fuck Kyle? Why so early?"

"Well first, you told me yesterday to wake you up. And second, you need to look for a job."

"Oh yeahhhhh, sorry Kyle. Thank you." I sit up and rub my eyes.

"Yeah. Fuck you for making me wake up so early." And with that he walks out of my room.

"Asshole." I shout.

Don't get me wrong I love Kyle to death. That is how we joke with eachother. I love our sibling-ship.

I grab my towels and head down the hall to the bathroom. We have to share a bathroom. And it's complete hell. He likes to take forever when he straightens his hair. It takes him about 45 minutes to get it completely straight. I only take 25 minutes. And I have way more hair than he does. I jump in the shower, do what I do, you may thinks it weird but I brush my teeth in the shower as well. I get out and wrap a towel around my body and put a towel in my hair and walk to my room.

"Look out! A towel head!! Don't bomb us." Kyle yells as he runs into the bathroom.

This is what I deal with everyday. But it's okay becuase it's funny.

"Wait! Give me my straightener."

He hands it to me and I walk to my room.

I plug my phone into my speakers, I play Weightless - All Time Low, I get out a pair of black skinny jeans, a The Offspring shirt, which I stole from Kyle, and lastly grab a new bra and underwear from my drawer. I drop my towel and get dressed for the day. When I'm done with that, I put on makeup and finish with a winged eyeliner. I look at myself in the mirror and see my roots growing in. You see, I'm obsessed with dying my hair.

"KYLE!! ITS AN EMERGENCY! COME HERE!!" I scream as I run out of my room and into the hall.

"What?! What's wrong?" He comes running out of the bathroom with shampoo in his hair and a towel wrapped around his waist.

"I need to dye my hair!!"

"You have got to be fucking kidding me Jasey."

"What? That's important."

"I thought you were hurt, or someone broke in, or your cat WAS DYING! Not that you needed to dye your hair." He rubs his face with his hands.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll see you later Kyle, I love you!" I say while walking downstairs.

"I love you too brat. Please occasionally check in."

"I will."

I walk outside and contemplated on whether or not to take my car, but instead I chose to walk and I head to town.

I walk into a little run down, but we'll known Diner.

"Um, excuse me." I tap on a guys shoulder.

"Huh, what?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"No, it's okay."

I take a look at the guy in front of me, he has longish black shaggy hair, spider bites, beautiful blue eyes, and cute freckles.

"I'm Johnnie." He bites his lip.

"Jasey Rae." I smile.

"Like that All Time Low song, cool."

"Basically, but um, I was wondering if I could speak to the manager."

"Well Jasey Rae, you're speaking to him." I see his eyes trail up and down my body.

"Aren't I lucky."

"What can I do you for?"

"I was wondering if you were hiring."

"You are in luck, because someone just quit yesterday."

"Really?"

"Yeah, do you have any experience with waitressing?"

"Yes, I worked in a restaurant for 2 years."

"You're hired."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Rad."

"You start on Tuesday."

"So tomorrow?"

"Basically."

"Thank you so much!" I couldn't help but hug him.

He takes a second to realise what I was doing.

"Jasey Rae, could I get your number?" A blush creeps onto his face.

"Of course."

We swap phones.

"Here's your shirt."

He hands me a black shirt with white lettering. Chelsea 's Diner

"Thanks , and hey, Maybe I'll text you later?"

"Of course."

And with that I walk out of the restaurant, my phone vibrates and I look down while I continue to walk, Johnnie just texted me. I went to answer him when I bump into someone and fell to the floor.

"Watch where your fucking going, will ya?"
