I stretched and sat up. I decided to just sleep in the park. Didn't wanna risk a fight or something worse if I went back home. I looked at my watch, it was about nine o'clock.

I reached the house, walked to the door and slid my key in. I softly opened the door and stepped in. I was sure it wasn't a good idea to come back here. I shut the door behind me and walked into the kitchen. I glanced around the messy room. Broken bottles and beer covered the floor.

"What the hell?" I whispered.

I carefully tiptoed around the glass and reached for the broom. I cleaned up the mess and walked into the living room where I found him laying face first in the carpet. I bent down and started rubbing his back.

"Jason?" I whispered

He groaned and opened one eye.

"What did you do?" I said

When he gets drunk you never really know what he's gonna do. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"How long were you gone?" He groaned

"All night."

"Why?"

"I thought you would be better off without me last night."

I started to stand up and he grabbed my wrist. "Don't leave again."

"You don't own me Jason." I flinched and saw the shadow of his hand come down on my cheek.

I gasped and cupped my cheek in my hands. I could feel it turning red.

I was screaming inside but I kept my peace and bit my tongue. I gathered myself and walked upstairs to my room.

Me and Jason had separate rooms but I never really slept in my room cause he never wanted me to. I walked in, locked my door and laid on my bed. I screamed into my pillow. Why couldn't I do what I did yesterday and finally stand up to the bastard. Maybe that was all the courage I had and I wasted it on that poor boy. I felt really bad afterwards. I didn't mean to go off on him like that. There is just too much going on and I needed a release.

I walked around trying to find a suitcase. I couldn't stay any longer. He treats me like shit, always hitting me and telling me what to do and what not to do.

Which was nothing I wasn't used to.

I went back down stairs and saw Jason, still laying on the floor. I shook my head and walked out the door. I put my bags in my car and drove off.

I needed to find a job. I remember a help wanted sign in the window at Nandos the day before. When I walked in I saw Stayce. She smiled "Hiya! How are you?" She's was so perky and upbeat, unlike myself. "Hi! I'm good. I saw you were hiring?"

She beamed "You came at a perfect time! We are looking for a waitress." She walked over to a desk and pulled out a piece of paper "Here's an application for you to fill out."

"Can I fill it out here?" I pointed to a table.

"Of coarse!" She handed me a pen.

I filled out the paper and handed it to her.

"How long do I need to wait for a call?"

She took the paper and looked it over.

"Actually I'm the manager and from the looks of your application you are a hard worker. You don't have to wait for a call, I'm hiring you now if you want the job."

I was kinda shocked. "S-sure!"

She laughed "You really sure?"

"Yes I am! I didn't think it was going to be that easy" I smiled.

She led me to the back of the restaurant and handed me several black uniform shirts. "Here ya go. You can change in the bathroom"

I changed and walked over to Stayce.

"OK so for a couple days you can just shadow me until you get the gist of the job."

I nodded.

We had a couple groups that came in later that night. I stood by Stayce and watched as she took orders and tried to make small talk with the customers.

She asked me if I wanted to try it by myself and I agreed.

"You can take care of the next person that walks through the door." She grabbed my arm "I'll be right next to you, just in case you get nervous or need some help."

I smiled. I wasn't nervous. I've never been afraid to talk to people, I just don't have much to say.

I watched as a black SUV pulled into the parking lot.

A group of guys came in all wearing suits and ties. I watched them take a seat and pick up the menus. I walked up to the table with Stayce and introduced myself and got their drink orders. I looked around the table and my eyes stopped at the blonde headed boy I bumped into yesterday.

Shit! Well it's my first table, haven't spilled food on the customer but I already know I won't be getting a tip.

I saw him give me a glare as I walked away.

I brought the food to the table and he caught my arm.

"So you work here now?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yeah. I do." I walked off before he could say anything else.

After they left we started to clean up and close down the restaurant. I was cleaning off their table and a piece of paper caught my eye. It had alot of doodle drawings on it but someone had wrote a note and it was addressed to me. I started to read,

Hi! :) I didn't want to get you into trouble for talking on your first day of work so I'm writing this. I was just going to tell you that you are absolutely gorgeous and you make that job uniform look 10x's better than anyone else! You just gave me another reason to come to Nandos ;) BTW you can thank Zayn for all the drawings. Anyways have a good night beautiful, Niall :)

I smiled. "Crazy boy" I muttered

Stayce told me my hours for tomorrow and I walked out to my car and drove to what I was supposed to call "home".
