Making My Way Downtown

  I heard my alarm clock go off at seven. I ignored it. I heard what should have been my alarm clock at eight. There was no way I could ignore that sound.

  "GET THE HELL DOWN STAIRS ALLISON RIGHT NOW!" The women who gave birth to me barked.

  Now that is what you call a good alarm clock sound. My initial reaction should have been to jump out of bed and see what was making my mom so frantic. However I'm not really a fan of my mom so I'll take my sweet time.

  "IF YOU DON'T GET DOWN HERE IN ONE MINUTE YOU WILL BE IN BIGGER TROUBLE YOUNG LADY!" My dad screamed loud enough to make me jump and trip over my shoes.

  Seeing as my dad isn't in a good mood either I should hurry up. Two against one is never good unless you like being yelled at and double teamed.. I mean I'm not judging if you're into that type of stuff. Humming the tune of a catchy song I walked downstairs. "Making my way downtown walking fast faces pass and I'm home bound. Nananana-."

  My humming stops when I see looks that could kill. Along to go with that was tension. The type you could cut through with a knife or maybe a chain saw. My mother is glaring at me and my dad just looks disappointed. Which is how they look at me all the time but this time there had to be a reason.

  "Uhhh can I help you?" I said
"You quit college?" My dad said calmly.
"What?! No where did you hear th-" I was interrupted.
"DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO US ALLISON RYE CLARKE!" My mom yelled at me.
"But I can explain!" I tried to say

  "Uh huh I'm sure you can. I'm also sure that you can complain to someone else because I am disowning you." She replied.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I screamed back at her.
"Watch me." She said as she grabbed her purse and keys walking out.
"DAD! DO SOMETHING." I said trying to grab his arm only for him to push me off
"You have seven hours to get out of this house or I will call the cops." My dad said.
The sound of my moms heels clicking faded away as my life crumbled to pieces. I should've been prepared for this goddamn it.

  Moments ago I had a semi-great life now I have nothing. Or maybe I have a cheesecake sitting in front of me curtesy of Ametri Diner. Either way it's not the point.

  I don't know why this would happen.
I haven't even done anything wrong. If only they would've let me expl-.

  "You seem like you have a lot on you're plate."
I heard someone say. I looked down at my plate but I think the cheesecakes they give out are pretty small. "If you think I'm talking about you're actual plate you might need some help."
He added. "No kidding." I said looking up and he gave me a smile.

  Oh my gosh he's so hot.

  "I'm not going to lie, I'm glad you think so." He said.

.....
.....
.....

Oh god he heard me say that out loud.

  He laughed and said "Would you want to maybe talk about you're problem? Maybe I can help you."

"You? Help me? Yea right. Listen buddy I'm not looking for a relationship and I'm certa-."

  "I think you should listen to me I'm not flirting with you. I'm just trying to help you help me." He said "Nothing sexual I swear but I promise you if you come with me, I can help you with whatever problem you have."

  "Why do I have to come with you somewhere to talk about a problem? You sound like a rapist talking to his next victim. I'm not idiotic why can't I talk about it in here and who said I needed help I'm perfectly fine."

  "Oh really you were practically looking absolutely livid when I saw you and guessing by that bulky book bag by your side, which by the way I can see a toothbrush sticking out, you probably have nowhere to go. Most people around here with a bag like that are homeless I was just trying to give you some help because you looked like you needed it" He snapped back.

  I gave out a deep sigh and looked over at my bag to see the tooth brush sticking out. I packed my bag in a rush. Dad. Ugh after what happened the hell with calling him 'dad'. what he did was unforgivable. When I asked for help he gave me seven hours and out of anger I packed way to quickly to get out of the house .

  I stared at the guy feeling defeated but I still had my dignity. "You don't know anything about me and you're saying I look homeless. It's normal for tooth brushes to stick out of bags this is the 21st century and I enjoy carrying them around where ever I go it gives me a sense of comfor-"

"Do you want a job" He said as he cut me off.
"What?" I said.
"Do. You. Want. A. Job." He stated
"Let's say I did.. What would it be? Wait why are you asking me this" I replied.

  "Because I can give you one. I mean you look strong enough for it and you look absolutely perfect for it to." He said with a smile then it clicked in my mind at what he was saying to me. I took out that toothbrush and I threw it at him.

  "Bastard I'm not a sex worker for you. Get the hell out of my face you disgusting little pervert who do you think I am?!" I said.

  "No you got it all wrong that's not what I'm saying. Let me explain it to you but I can't do it here people might over hear what I say. That's why I asked you to come with me. Really I swear it doesn't involve anything with sex and if you think I'll touch you we can stand right outside the window of the diner." He said as he rubbed the spot on his head that I hit him with the toothbrush.

I followed him out of the diner because I have nothing else to do but to accept help from a stranger.

*Few Moments later*

  "YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT! THATS ILLEGAL.!!!!" I said. "Look if you don't want to do I can make you." He said. "EXCUSE ME?!?" I yelled. Suddenly he takes out a cloth and presses it to my mouth. I struggle thinking to myself. 'Fucking Chloroform.' My tooth brush laying on the diners floor being the last thing I see as I pass out.
