The bell above the two doors ringed as Mica opened it for me. I stepped inside and looked around. The resteraunt looked nice and it had that kind of old fashion look into it. I felt comfortable here already.
"My bosses office is this way..." Mica waved his hand to follow him and stop at a door. I read the sign on top, saying: Mr Deans Office. "I'm going to go to the locker room to change, you wait right here okay?" He said. I nodded and obeyed, as he left me standing there and went to the locker room.
After he left, the door behind me clicked and opened. A man stood there and looked at me curiously. "Hello, how can I help you?" He said. He was wearing a black suit and he had a grey short beard. His eyes were blue and his skin tone was tan. His breath was close to my face as I could smell an alcohol. Gross, I though in my head.
"Um, I came here for an job interview?" I replied. He smiled as he looked down at my chest. I moved a little away from him and waited until he says anything.
"Oh yes, Mica told me you need a job. Great, come on in." He said and waved his hand for me to follow. That's when I realize I needed to wait for Mica.
+~+~+~+~+~+~
The interview went well. I got the job and I was excited to start tomorrow. He said that Mica will help me for training. But when I left the office, there were two boys laughing and pointing at someone. I looked to see where they were laughing at and of course, Mica.
Mica was on the floor covered in soda and food. I gasped and walked up to him and picked him up carefully. The boys behind me stopped laughing and stated whispering.
"Mica, are you okay?" I asked. Mica pushed himself away from me and went out the kitchen. I looked at the boys who were still snickering.
"I just got this job, and I have bitches here already." I muttered as I walked out the kitchen and see that Mica was washing his stains from the food.
I grabbed a rag and helped him get rid of them. After some was coming off, I realized Mica was staring at me. I pretend I didn't notice but I can't help but giggle under my breath and smirking. Mica chuckled behind me, as I put the rag away. I turned around to check if Mica was still there, which he was but he kept looking down at the ground.
"I got the job, Mica." I quietly spoke. Mica looked up off the ground and his expression lit up.
"When do you start?" He asked.
"Tomorrow. And I'll make sure those guys don't bother you anymore." He simply nodded and went back to work. I walked to the door and waved at Mica from behind. He waved back and sadly smiled. Then I left the resteraunt.

I made it to the dorm safely and stayed inside my room. I hope he's going good right now at work I thought. I lazily took my book bag off and dropped it on the floor, I quickly get dressed into my nightgown and sat in front of my study desk. I already have it all messy, there were papers all over and writing utensils.
I then remembered I have a song to write. Good thing I didn't have homework, so I was free of doing things. I opened my notebook and went to the first blank page.
I write on top, Only Hope. Ten minutes went by and I got the first verse already. And I kinda liked it, but I need a melody and some type of instrument.
(A/N: I know that later in the story, Mica and Emily are gonna watch the movie A Walk To Remember but just imagine the Emily character wrote that song.)
Then I thought that a piano was a good type of instrument for this song. But we don't have one, so that's going to be hard to find one and pay it.
So far, I only wrote this part:
Theres a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I tried to write over and over again.
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
Then I came up more lyrics. But it took a while. Before I even knew it, it was six in the afternoon already. I got the song done and I wanted to show it to Mica really bad, but he wasn't home yet.
"I wonder what time he gets off." I mumbled as I closed the notebook and laid on my bed. My eyes slowly close and I drifted off to sleep...again.
+~+~+~+~+~+~
"Emily!" A voice reached me. I jerked on my bed and stood up, my hair was all over my face and I see a figure in front of me. It was Mica.
"Oh, Mica. Your home..." I said, in my tried tone. Mica chuckled lightly and held a piece of paper in front of me.
"Mr Dean forgot to give you your schedule time for the job." He said. I grabbed the paper from his hand and set it on the desk next to me. I looked back at Mica and opened my mouth to say something but he spoke first.
"A lady called when I got here, she said she was calling for you but when I asked who that was, she just hung up." Mica said, getting off the bed and throwing his book bag on the floor next to mine. A lady, maybe it was my grandmother. I haven't talked to her in a while
"Maybe it was my grandma or something. Anyway, I have something to show you." I said, getting up from the bed and walking over to my study desk. I grabbed my notebook and opened to my song page, first seeing the title popping out, Only Hope. Although this wasn't my first song, it feels like it is and it feels so special. I turned around and see Mica already being patient on his bed, waiting for my surprise.
I sat on his bed and gave him my notebook. "I wrote this song myself. All I need is a piano for it." I say, smiling at myself that I finally had a song that's actually successful for me. Mica finished reading it and smiled.
"I love it. Now for the melody, I think I have a perfect one for you. And maybe this weekend you can meet my family and practice the piano back at my old place." He said. I smiled back at him and gave him a small hug. It's nice to have a friend like Mica, and someday, we can work on a song together.
