"Ugh. What the actual frick." I thought to myself. I started my car this morning and it turns out, all my tires were slashed. After spilling my coffee and breaking my glasses, i call in work saying I'll be late. I have to take the bus.

I'm waiting outside at the bus stop and there's a group of people waiting with me as well. I think nothing weird of it, maybe their mornings were just as bad as mine? Suddenly a blond in a bright blue shirt sits on the bench next to me. He seemed kinda nice. I must have not realized I was staring, until he smiled and said, "Wanna take a picture?"
I snapped out of it quickly.
"I-uh..um..sorry. I..didn't mean to stare. I had a bad morning and I'm really tired.." I stuttered. Why did I tell this stranger I had a bad morning? Oh, what the hell.
He looked confused. "Usually my fans want to take pictures with me.."
"Fans?" Oh..maybe that offended him? His face grew wide with expression.
After a moment of silence, he finally explained. "Oh..sorry you must not know. I'm on YouTube. My names Chad, my channel is Chadtronic."
I blinked slowly and smiled. "That's cool," is all I managed to say.
The bus slowly roared up. The group huddled on. Chad got the last seat. Of course. I'm gonna have to stand.
"Wait! Uh..girl?" He exclaimed confused.
I turned around. "What? And my name isn't girl." I accidentally said this kinda sassy and rude. Whoops.
He stood up. "Here, I'm sorry. Have the last seat." Oh. I blushed a bit. Why??
"Thanks Chad." I managed to fake a smile. He looked down as if he was disappointed in himself. Then we were silent for a few minutes. Then I decided to speak up.
"Hey..Chad?" He perked up to me instantly. "I'm sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Erin.
He smiled huge.
"Hi Erin.!"
"Uh hi. Sorry I'm not really good at interaction.." I mumbled and looked down. "It's been a really rough morning, as I said earlier.
"Do..you want to talk about it..? I'm getting off here at Panera. I can buy you some lunch, and we can talk if you want." I was so flattered. Someone would want to buy me lunch?
"I would love to!!!" I suddenly stopped my words..shit. I have work.
"Um..me too. What's wrong?" Suddenly we heard the bus driver yell "SHIIT" then slam on the breaks. I screamed and flew out of my seat. I hit my head up against something hard. My ears are ringing.
"Erin..?"
"..."
"Erin are you okay..? I caught you"
"My head.." I moved my arm up to rub my head. It pained me to touch it.
"Hey hey hey!" Chad moved my arm back down. "You hit your head pretty bad. But it's okay, I got you."
I move my hand to feel the turf around me. I was laid down on the bus seats and still headed to my destination.
"Chad.."
"Yeah?" He looked at me weird. Like..no one has looked at me like that before. With general concern and kindness.
"I need to call my boss, can you sit me up?"
He seemed hesitant.
"Erin I think you have a concussion. You need to go to the hospital.."
I force myself up and call my boss.
E: hey..Stan.
S: where the HELL have you been.
E: on the bus..I'm so sorry I've had such a terrible morning and I think I got a concussion..
S: you know what. I'm sick of dealing with you.
E: w-what..?
S: you're fired.
He hung up. Frick. My. Life.

I swear. 5 minutes passed and neither of us said a word. Every other second you could hear my muffled crying.
"So.." I managed to say in-between sobs, "how about Panera..?"
Chad smiled gently. "How about the hospital."
I looked down. "I can't afford a medical bill. I was depending on today to pay for my rent..I already don't have water.. And who knows when my electricity was taken out.."
He looked at me with sympathy.
"Erin. I'm going to be really wild right now..and this seems really fast for me just having met you but, you're beautiful. Do you think, until you get a steady income of course, you'd like to move in with me..?" He held his breath and winced, like waiting for a no answer.
My mind went blank. Beautiful..? Surely not. I just met him! But he cared for me so much..
He watches me ponder.
"You know what..why not. I just hope I don't interfere with your YouTube-thingy."
His face went from gloomy to ecstatic within a second. He laughed (so cute) and grabbed my hand.
"Yes!! I'm so excited! Thank you so much!"
After a second he realized he was holding my hand. He looked down, blushed and quickly pulled it away. I chuckled. Maybe Chad can help me with life!
