I woke up. I toke a shower and went back to my room to pick out my clothes. I played hotline bling on the background. "You used to call me on my cellphone" I sang. I wore my gray dress that was knee length so it was pretty long but still hot as fuck. I wore a leather jacket on top of it and my white Adidas shoes. I combed my dark brown wavy hair that was so long it almost touched my ass. I put on my mascara and a little bit of foundation. I wanted to put on lipstick but I didn't. I'm done! I looked at my phone and I was on time for school. "Mum! I'm ready for school! On time! I'm so proud of myself!"
"Baby, it's saturday. But you're awake, right? Why don't you go to the grocery store and get me some things I need"

"No! You can't be serious...and no, no way I'm going back to sleep"

"You can get yourself something with the change"

"Okay! what do I need to get you?"

"Here is a list"
She handed me the list and gave me a kiss. "Thanks baby" she smiled.

"No probs. but one more question."
"What?"
"Can I have your car"
"Absolutely not. The grocery store is just around the corner"
I smiled and walked away. Bitch: I thought to myself.
I was on my way to the store when a guy said: "girl" I turned around and saw him holding my list. The list my mum gave me. "Oh shit" I felt around and the list indeed wasn't there. he came closer and handed me the list. "Thank you." I said. "Are you going to do the groceries?"
"Uhmm yes"
"Nice me too, should we walk together to the store?"
Wtf I don't know this guy. But I think I will just walk with him. I mean he found my list.
"Uhmm sure"
"Okay leggo"
I smiled.
Omg this is so awkward I don't know were to talk about.
"You're from around here. I mean Bcs you go on foot and not with the car?"
That's the best I could think of.

"Yes I am. First time you see me? I have seen you many many times. I actually know your mum"

"You do? how come I have never seen you?"

"I know her from work. Last time we talked was before she got fired there"

"Oh..yea she got fired. Such a shame. She loved that job so much. She used to come home with a big smile on her face"

"Yea, I was sad they fired her too. She was a good woman"

"She is. But it is what it is"

"Yea. I mean the boss is a good friend of mine. Maybe I can fix something for your mum"

"You can?! I mean...really?"

"Of course. I wanted to do this a long time ago but she didn't talk to me anymore so I kinda let it go to"

"Oh...yea my mum gave up on a lot of things. But she's on the right pad again now"

"I'm glad she is. I will do all I can okay?"

"Thank you" I said smiling.

"What's your name btw?"

"My name is Jennifer and you?"

"Nice to meet you Jennifer, my name is chris"

"Nice name. I think we arrived"

"Yes"

"Can I have your number..maybe"

"You can *number* tell your mum you met me. She will like it. Tell her it was Chris. The Chris that washes the dishes at work"

"Haha you did?"

"Haha yes I do. But I got to go now. Doing the groceries"

I smiled and walked away. What a nice guy. I searched for everything that was on the list. *ting* I got a text. I opened it and it was Chris. It says:
Chris: I see you.
I looked around and didn't saw him. I looked at the serial in front of me and suddenly it moved. I screamed and everyone in the store was looking at me. "I'm sorry" I said. I looked back at the moving serial and guess who was behind this prank. Chris. "Son of a bitch" I whispered. He just laughed. "I'm sorry haha" I smiled and walked away so I can pay for my groceries. I payed and left. I went to my house and knocked on the door.
My mum opened the door and gave me a kiss. "Thanks honey"
"Mum I need to tell you something"
"What is it?"
"I met someone and he said you would like to hear about him. Chris that washes the dishes haha. he said he was going to fix you a job at your old workplace! Isn't that awesome mum! I'm so happy for you!"
My mum just looked at me and smiled.
"Did you talk to a stranger? You Dont know him. Youre grounded"

"You serious?! I fixed you a job!"

"It could be anyone. I mean yes I do know him but it could be some murderer or rapist. Anyone! This time maybe a job next time loosing my daughter. Who I can't live without! I don't care about a job! I just want you by my side. You are my baby even when you are 60 years old. You always will be my baby"
I started crying.
"I'm sorry mum. It will never happen again. I was just happy I fixed you a job"

"I'm happy too. But you need to know mummy is okay and doesn't need a job or anything. The only thing I need is my daughter. And food of course haha"

I smiled and wiped away my tears.
I went upstairs and I got 6 texts and 3 missed calls.
I opened the text:
Chris:hey
Chris: told your mum?
Chris: ??hey
Chris: you there?
Chris: we should meet. I got great news.
Chris: Jennifer?

"Really?! Thank god. I mean you are srsly walking around with clothes you bought 5 years ago. I'm sorry honey. When I get paid the first time I'm going to shop with you"
