How I met my Russian in the night

why me...

Alexandra knew if she couldnt pay up bad things could happen but she won't get herself down from that,you couldn't ask for any help since you had no-one and you were scared to make friends.

You were never popular in school neither in work, everyone hated you and never talked to you or dared to work with you,even you're bosses hated you which were why they paid you very badly.
You hoped for a miracle as a kid but that hope died with the years, when you put the groceries away you sighed heavily mumbling to yourself once again "why me.." You're mother heard that which made you gulp, you're mother wasn't easy on you at all. She shouted and raised her hand against you which you didn't bother anymore since you didn't knew different, brought no money? Physical abuse, no help at home? Mental abuse, no good grades or got problems in school? Both were applied.

She doesn't care about you're health most likely you're mental health,she's more interested in her own mental health, when she's drunk you always have to sit there listening to her, if you didn't she would tell you stuff like what a terrible daughter you are and that she could have been better ect. Which made you feel terrible so of course you always listened to her story's which you already know.

You went to you're room to lay down and rest a bit since you haven't slept for a few days "some sleep would be nice now..." You sighed as you laid down on you're bed hugging a pillow.
You look out of the window wondering if life could get any better but during wondering you fell asleep.

You slept deeply but as soon as you got woken up,you're mother was furious because you were 2 hours late for work.
You hurried out of bed and got ready as fast as possible and rushed to the bus station so you could catch a bus, to you're luck as always the bus didn't came which ment you had to run.
3 and a half hours later you arrived at the shop you work for on Tuesdays and Thursdays and  but you're boss was already standing infront of the shop waiting for you in anger.

As soon as you arrived and seen him you immediately began apologizing telling him you've gotten some sleep.
He didn't care tho and told you if it happens again he'll fire you and also pays you less now since it happened now for the 3rd time now that you've came late.

"He'll pay me less?... fuck no what am I gonna tell my mother...what am I gonna do" you wondered in fear, you're co-wokers get paid around 350-400 but you only got 250 and now only 190 since you came to late for the 3rd time,this were terrible news for you and you didn't know what to do, except working harder and probably finding a new job.

You worked in the shop from 6pm to 4 am,the people around which live near the shop knew you and some elder people got worried about you since you keep losing weight,you have heavily sleep bags under you're eyes because of the loss of sleep and you're not good at concentration since you fall asleep during you're shifts, sometimes they would ask you if you're alright and you always awnser with yes, you don't have a choice except saying yes you're fine and they belive it sometimes.

You began filling the shelves when you suddenly felt dizzy and went to the back room to get something to drink but as you went to walk it got worse and you collapsed.you woke up shortly after and got up hoping no-one noticed you collapsed.

When you're shift ended you went home once again and those times repeated more and more often.

2 weeks later you got paid from you're jobs and was happy to finally pay up the upcoming 300 so you have some time to calm down and less stress. You met up with lukas and Thomas and handed them the money,you were relieved that finally you could pay them but suddenly it hit you.

Thomas:we have to inform you the next time you pay it will be more money.

Lukas: like 500 this time.

"500!?" You shouted surprised,you couldn't believe it how it stocked up but you knew you had no choice than to do it you sighed and nodded,then they left, you went back home but noticed something was off.

Mother wasn't home, she usually always was, she doesn't have friends and she's not well with the neighbors..you don't mind tho, finally some quiet for a while so you went straight to bed to get some good sleep.

Around midnight you woke up because you heard noises, you weren't surprised that you're mother was drunk again but you were glad she came home safely.

You covered her up with a blanket and went back to bed for the night.

You wondered where she was and how she had money to buy alcohol when you were the only one working..
You shook you're head and went back to bed since you had to wake up early for the day shift at the restaurant.

Around 3 am you woken up and got ready, you've made you're way to work without thinking much but then it happened. An accident, you walked over the street without looking and someone hit you..

"I can't afford going to hospital.. now..." you've said those words before you passed out, the driver got out and checked on you panicking, it was a young adult, she was probably in her 20 or something, she panicked and called an ambulance for you, she was relieved when they told her you didn't had bad injuries but you would be still transferred to hospital just incase, you were lucky she came from a wealthy family since her father took care of the bills for the hospital.  A worry to less think about but still you wandet to thank them for paying it but you didn't know how, the youg adult suddenly rushed into you're room and apologized nonstop, you were heavily confused but you told her it was okay and you're fault for not looking, you saw she was crying because of her being worried.

You looked at her very confused.
"Was she...crying?.. because of me!?...but why" you wondered, no-one ever cried for you so it was more confusing for you. The more you thought about it, she gave you a gentle hug and told you how happy she was that you are okay.

"She's hugging me!.. why does she do so!?.. she doesn't know me she should stop!..." You wandet to push her away when you suddenly felt her heartbeat racing from emotions through the hug
"I can feel her heartbeat...I can feel her warmth...this is....nice..." You thought
And you couldn't help yourself but shyly hug her back enjoying the warm feeling and the safety you never felt before just because of this hug not wanting to end.

The girl smiled at you "im Emma! I'm terribly sorry for this...but if you like I would love to show you a good café as an better apology!" She said excited.

You were surprised by her offer " a..café? Is she asking me to hang out with her?..." You thought about it for a moment but you agreed.

She was glad and showed it with a huge smile,you couldn't help but smile weakly aswell, you felt safe around her which was...nice for you.

"I hope she would be my first friend"
