You know, they say that for life to turn out great, you have to live through the bullshit part of it all. That's something I learned the hard way, and it's been like that since I was a kid. I lost both of my parents when I was little and my grandparents took me... It was hard at first, knowing that I wouldn't be able to see Mom and Dad again, but I eventually got there.

And to be honest, living with my grandparents wasn't even that bad. In fact; it was great. Granny would always teach me to bake while Grandpa...would be Grandpa. Well, not really, he would always do silly little things that made me laugh and I would him and Granny dance to the music. I may have been a child then, but I still remember it all so clearly... But those days are gone now, along with my grandparents. The only thing left is the memories and the house they lived in — which I'm currently standing in front of.

"Where is she," I said as I looked up and down the road, waiting for a friend to appear. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a car horn approaching and parked in front of me. The door to the driver's seat opened, only to reveal an old friend of mine.

"Cas?"

"Hey there Ava." They said while greeting me with a smile. We have known each other since we were little: we went to the same school since then and then went to the same college. Our classes were different so we couldn't talk as much, but we squeezed in conversation whenever we could. Since we graduated, Cas was kind enough to let us crash at their place since me and my roommate didn't have any money. We made plans to leave...but I never got the money to make it happen...

"What are you doing here?" I asked them.

"Dropping someone off." I watched as they opened the backseat door, revealing the person I was waiting for.

"Robin..?"

"Hey, Ava..." She said as she climbed out of the car. I would say that I was relieved to see that she was alright.

"Cas, why did you have Robin in your backseat?"

"It's better if she explained it..." From the moment they said that I slowly turned my attention back to the person in question, with a feeling of dread going through me upon realizing something.

"Robin...where is your bike..?"

"Yeah, funny story... I may have been avoiding the parking tickets. Because of that, my bike has been towed till further notice..." How does one respond to that? Hearing your roommate saying that they lost their vehicle due to not paying. And to make it feel worse; that bike was given to her by Grandpa. I would be mad at her, but I'm honestly too tired to say anything about it.

"...I see..." I responded while trying to keep my emotions together. Cas however, can tell that something was wrong.

"Ava, what's wrong."

"...You two know about that job interview I had today. I didn't get it..." There's probably nothing more embarrassing than telling your friends that you didn't get the job that you've been talking about. It also doesn't help that I got out of college not too long ago. All of my courses involved being in a kitchen, I studied in the kitchen, and I just love being in there. I just love being in that room ever since I was a kid... Granny is the reason why.
