Do you really love me? / Nick Bean

chapter 3

"Paris!" My father yells from somewhere in the house, his loud voice echoes through out the walls.

"Yes?" I yell and stand up, I look over at the clock, 9:34am crap I'm going to be late for work. I quickly throw on my workers outfit and open my bedroom door.

"I need money." He asks stepping in front of my bedroom door.

"What? I don't have any!" I say, all I can smell is booze as barges into my small room.

"Yeah you do. Where is it? Is it in your dresser?' He asks, and starts digging through my clothes.

"Dad stop! I don't have any!" I scream as I try pulling him away from my dresser. Every time I get a paycheck I place half of it away for college in my dresser.

"You lair!" He turns and throws me onto the ground.

"What's this?" He asks in my face, as he holds a wad of money. I rub my arm as I look away from him. My eyes started to fill with tears.

"Thank you Paris." He steps out of my room and walks out of the house. I quickly stand up and grab his keys. I run out the back door past him and get into the car, I pull away and drive to work. Why can't I have a normal life?

I pull into the parking lot and throw my Brown hair into a messy pony, I quickly apply red lipstick, and walk into the restaurant.

"Hi Paris!" My co-worker and best friend Eden smiles as she walks past me carrying a trey of food. Eden has been my friend since I started working here a year ago. I walk back into the kitchen and the aroma of bacon hits me, yumm!

"Paris could you please go take orders?" My boss abi says walking past me.

"Sure thing boss" I laugh and walk out of the kitchen to take orders. I see a group of people sitting down a few seats so I make my way over to them.

"Hello I'm Paris, and I will be your waitress today, are you ready to order?" I smile as I get my notepad out.

"Uh yes, four orange juices, one pancake special, and three breakfast burrito specials please." A young man smiles as I write everything down, and that's when I realized he was the guy at the mall the other day.

"Will that be all?" I ask.

"Yup." He says and pops the 'p' I smile and walk back into the kitchen. Hes cuter up close I laugh to myself and shake my head. He probably is a player though. I hand the notepad to the cook and wait for him to cook it. Once he's finished I take the food out to him.

"Here you go." I say and set their food down. I then walk over and take a few more orders.

"Hey Paris!" Eden laughs as she walks over to me.

"What?" I smile.

"I think this tip was for you!" She hands me the check.

" one pancake special,
Three burrito specials,
Four orange juices,
Total $20.00

'Paris you are too pretty to be working at a place like this, go buy yourself something nice xD -Nick' "

I laugh and grab the twenty dollar tip from her.

After work I drive back to my house, it's currently 8:56 so it's getting dark out. As I pull into our driveway, everything is silent the only thing I can hear is the gravel crushing underneath my feet.
