Chapter 4:
STACEY.
" Those bastards, I can't believe they did this to you; I will have their heads someday!," Mia exclaimed beside me. I had just told her what happened a day ago and she wouldn't stop cussing.
" I don't know what to do," I ignored her comment.
She, as usual gave me an apologetic smile, I smiled back.
A month was too short for me to pay back my debt. Sometimes, I found myself asking why my father borrowed such a large amount, he never acted like he was dealing with that much.
No, he did.
Thinking back, I realized that he never returned home without a bruise or tattered cloth, he was always drunk.
Then, I thought his reasons made a little sense though, I understood why he was like that. The debt, he owed too much debt trying to save my Mom from death, he did all he could.
Yet, death took her from us, from him, since then, our family was never the same again, series after series of bad events happened on after another.
My Dad's only solace was his beer, while mine was my sister. However, even she, couldn't escape the clutches of death.
A tear drop escaped my eyes ; I looked away from Mia, to the road outside the cafe.
"Hey. I can help, if you want." Mia offered, " I have friends who could be willing to help you out,"
" And then what? Have you go back to your old life," I shook my head, " that's not happening,"
" But it's the only way out, that is my way of thinking you for everything," she added, holding my hand on the table.
I looked away from the streets, back to Mia," your happiness is important, I can't let you do it," I blinked back the tears clouding my eyes, " besides... I can work, as long as I am payed a certain amount, maybe I can get myself out of this mess," I chuckled.
Mia shook her head, " it's not all of my old friends that are bad, I still have good once that I keep in touch with. Let me help. Please,"
" But-,"
" No buts, let me give it a try, I can't watch you become a whore while I could do something to help, no worries, I will help you out. But it's just this once though, so if I were you, I will accept this one life time opportunity,"
" thank you," i whispered, with a small laugh.
"Hey! Don't thank me yet, there is a chance it might not work out, don't get your hopes up,"
" I won't,"
Mia smiled, " I miss your smile, and your drama. "
" As if, " I snorted, "I am not as dramatic as you are, " I snorted .
Mia rolled her eyes,"we will soon find out, but for now, let's go pick up Ed, it's almost time and you know very well that We shouldn't keep our little princess waiting,"
" Alright,"
With that said, we headed to Ed's school to pick her up.
" Hey Princess," Mia waved at Ed as she walked out of her school.
" Mia!" Ed shouted, as usual, she started running towards us.
" Don't run Ed, you might trip," i shouted ready to go stop her.
" I won't ," Once again she was already in front of us, I released a breath of relief as her body collided with Mia's.
As if Irony was at work, a shrill cry made our eyes snapped to another direction where a kid about Edna's age tripped over his shoelaces and hit his head on the floor.
