The Caregiver

*Crissy*

  It was another great day at the cafe, it wasn't really packed.. Just the right amount of people sitting and eating peacefully.

"Ma'am" an older lady says to me tugging on my skirt.

"Yessum?" I ask directing my attention to her.

"May I get a box for this?" I smiled as I nodded my head. I went to the back and got a box for her food.

She thanked me and got up, walking out. Shortly, the cafe got empty. The manager came out with a disappointed look on her face, this wasn't going to be good.

"Crissy.. I'm sorry" she says handing me my last paycheck.

I sighed, walking out the door. Why? Why does the cafe have to  close down? It isn't fair.. I held my head low until I got to my apartment. Greeted by Sara, my best friend.

"Hey girly.. What's that look for?" I looked up and wanted to cry but couldn't.

"The cafe shut down.." I mumble and sit on the couch.

Sara hugging me and telling me how sorry she is and asking why. I didn't really know.. But now the worry is, finding another job.

"I dunno.. But I got my last paycheck and now the worry of finding another job." I took off my jacket and set my paycheck on the table.

"I'm sure you'll find another job! You're good at basically most things" Sara says.

The next day I went down and talked to one of the guys that helps people with getting jobs.

"Hey Crissy, what's up?" Daniel says as I sit down.

"Well the cafe closed down for good.. So I need a new job." I say with a frown on my face.

"Let's see what options you have.."
