Black Hole

Extra Jobs

"Hannah, you can't."  Courtney said.

"Courtney, I have too." Hannah explained. 

Courtney shook her head. She sat down on the couch. 

"You can't get another job." Courtney protested. 

"I have too. My mum's sick and I need some extra money for her." Hannah stated. 

She checked the time and sighed. She headed upstairs. When she came back down, she was wearing a Starbucks apron. She grabbed her keys and walked towards the door. 

"I gotta go to work. See ya later." Hannah said. 

"Alright." Courtney mumbled lazily. 

Hannah walked out the door. She got in the car and drove to work.

"Excuse me miss. Can I get a medium vanilla bean frappe with a pump of hazelnut and a pump of white mocha with a mocha drizzle on top please." I deep voice ordered.

"Coming right up." Hannah said. 

She didn't look at the customer, she just went off to make their order. She came back and handed it to them. 

"That will be si-" Hannah started but she was cut off when she saw who she was talking to. 

"Hannah?" It was Harry. "What are you doing here?" 

Hannah sighed. She called over one of her co-workers to take the register. Harry payed for his drink then followed Hannah to a empty table. She explained about how her mum was very ill and she needed some extra money for her. Harry gave her a blank stare. 

"But you're famous." She said. "You have a lot already. You could probably swim in all of it." 

Hannah put her head down. A small tear started to flow down her cheek. She looked back up at Harry. 

"My mum was never supportive of my music career. She was so disappointed in me. She kicked me out of the house. That's why the girls and I got a house together." Hannah admitted. "She said that she wouldn't take any money from me unless I got a real job." 

Harry got up and went over to her. He stood her up then pulled her into a tight hug. Eventually they pulled away. Harry reached into his pocket. He pulled out a roll of money and handed it to Hannah. 

"Here, take this." Harry said.

Hannah shook her head. She handed the money back to Harry. 

"No. I'm not taking your money." She told him. 

"Babe, I'm not taking no as an answer." Harry snapped. He shoved the money into Hannah's pocket. "You're taking the damn money." 

Hannah gave in. She hated when Harry did things like that. Harry placed a kiss on her forehead. 

"Now go quit." Harry commanded. 

"Yes sir." Hannah said. 

She went to her manager. She explained that she had to quit. She handed over her name tag and apron. She said goodbye then left with Harry. 

"I can't believe you made me do that." Hannah growled. 

"I had to." Harry said with a smirk.
