The Beginning ( Urban Fiction )

Lost

*olivia to the side*

Trina

Life without any parents to guide, protect, nor encourage you is definitely not something I would have ever imagined going through. Although I'm staying in a group home with other children going through the same thing I'm going through I still feel alone. Nobody is ever going to adopt me because I'll be 18 in less than 4 months, meaning once I turn 18 I get kicked out the home & I'm free to go... Nowhere. I have no money, no friends, don't know my real family, and somehow my adopted parents family disappeared after they passed away.

Since I only have a few months til I'm on my own I guess I can start looking for a job. Yes, I'm sorta late but hey its better late than never. Right ? But I've done a few applications lately & no one really showed interest in my service except this restaurant a few blocks from my foster home. I have an interview today at 6, I really don't have any nice clothes so I hope they're not judgmental. I'm not telling Mrs. Craver ( my foster parent ) about my interview being that she is a bitch and act as if she can control my life. Or like she really care about us, we know she don't care she just loves that check she gets for taking care of us. I told Olivia ( my foster sister ) to tell Mrs. Craver I'm going to the library to get a couple books for the weekend if she asks.

Olivia & I have a real close bond as if we were real sisters. We even look alike, her mother was killed in a drug raid and she never knew her father. We're the same age and have the same birthday ( crazy huh ?) She always give me a stable mindset when Mrs. Craver gets to nitpicking and acting extreme. We've only known each other for about 2 years because she got here after I did but it feels like I've known her my whole life. She's Beautiful and never tells me anything wrong.

Olivia has everything I wish I could have, she has a wonderful boyfriend, a job, and she's only two paychecks away from having a car. She has to make up lies about her whereabouts so that Mrs. Craver won't find out she has a job. Mrs. Craver don't mind her having a boyfriend ( surprisingly) and actually stresses the fact that I need one myself so that I won't act so (lonesome). I know what I need and its not a boyfriend, I need money, something that can take away all my pain and eagerness to see what its like to live on the other side. Before my parents passed I was spoiled to where no one could imagine. But once I was took into foster custody the money my parents left for me was no longer to my name until I turn 18. They left a few thing behind for me but I can't get the information until my birthday.

It's Finally 6 o'clock and I'm on my way to my interview, it gets dark early around here so I'm prepared for anything walking around this neighborhood. As I walk through the alley almost at the restaurant I see headlights turn behind me. My body tense up and my pace becomes faster. I won't look back in fear that it's someone or something I don't want to have to face. I keep walking when I hear a male voice yell " hey, stop walking shawty". I keep walking in hopes he'll just give up. But I was wrong again he yells, " I guess you're deaf lil mama, I said hey stop walking". Instantly my temper runs hot and I turn around ready to cuss him out from the moon and back, but what I see with my eyes immediately stopped me in my tracks while my mouth dropped and my knees buckled. He was charming, which would actually be an understatement. He smirks and remarks " damn lil ma you see something you like, your eye glistening like these diamonds 'round my neck". I fix my composure and get my game face on " who said I liked anything over there I'm just trynna find out why you keep hollering at me". "Well for one you're walking and its dark outside and for two cause you fine as hell and I would've been dumb to keep driving without giving it a try" I look down at my watch and realize its 6:10 "damn man" I mumbled. " what wrong over there lil ma" "I'm late to my job interview" " well how would you feel if I told you I have my own business and we're looking for employees, just hop in the passenger seat and I can take you down to my office for an interview" at this moment and time I was in no place for questions or negotiations so I hopped in the car and tried to stay calm as he drove down the dark empty road.
