Jailed Love

Just My Luck

{Journee's P.O.V}

How can you have everything and all of a sudden have nothing at all? Well that's what's happening to me. Yet I still don't know how it happened. Now I'm back to square one. If it wasn't for my best friend Jade helping me during this time I wouldn't know what I would have done. Being 21 in this world is not at all easy...

"Another day broke! Bruh, man I swear I need a job and I need it fast!" I said getting out the bed, sliding into my bunny slippers. "I can't keep living like this. I'm not about to keep calling my daddy for money!"

"Well at least your daddy do shit for you, my daddy ain't shit. Never was and never will be." My best friend Jade says. "And besides you're not the only one struggling with this job shit. Earth to Journee what the fuck you think I'm doing?!"

"Well bitch you not trying to do anything but I am!" I yell from my walk-in closet trying to find today's wear.

"I really don't know who the fuck you yelling at! See bitch I'm not Xavier and I damn sure aint Dasha. So I think you better check yourself before I forget you my best friend and kick your ass." Jade says now standing up posted ready to do some damage.

I think back 1 1/2 years ago. My now ex boyfriend Xavier cheated on me with my now ex friend Dasha. It had been happening for about 6 months. I still don't know how I missed all the signs. Dasha started coming around more often wearing damn near little to no clothes claiming she was going workout. I always wondered why she felt the need to let that be known. While Xavier always went to Dasha house to play the Xbox with her older brother and watch the football game every Sunday, or so he claimed. I caught them fucking at Siboney Corporation , you know the cuban club in Southwest Miami. I must've beat Dasha ass so bad her head wasn't right for about a month. Xavier brought out a side of me nobody ever knew I had or me for that matter.

I damn near crack my neck to turn and look at Jade. "I beg your pardon bitch?" I walk towards Jade. "First off I was just stating facts. Second I didn't say that you was Xavier or Dasha." I am now in her face. "And third off bitch who ass you gonna kick? I would like to know. Nobody! Now sit your ass down and break this gar so I can roll this shit up. Bitch!" I throw the cigar in her face and walk back to the closet.

"Well bend me over and fuck me harder. You kind of turned me on talking to me like that. Yes ma'am whatever you say." Jade bows down and gets to work.

============================

"So what about college? You still going?" Jade says while making strawberry crepes. "You got the looks and the smart, so you need to use it before the good Lord takes it." Jade laughs.

"I know. I know. Trust me I plan on doing something. I just have to sort out my interest in majors. Its just so many. UGH!!" I said frustrated.

"Why don't you just go where the money at? The medical field." Jade said.

"No. I don't want to be in the medical field. That's what my mama did for as long as I can remember. She always wanted me to join her as an R.N. Although she did make $33 an hour." I said now thinking about it. That is a good pay. Something I need, badly.

"See! I told you. Good pay, all day, every day. Shit, I might just do it too." Jade says thinking too. "Picture me Jo. Picture me in a doctors coat and underneath it something every patient won't be able to resist. Both male and female." She says winking her eye at me.

Jade is fine as fuck no doubt about that. I mean, I'm fine too, the speechless kind. The kind of fine you can only get one word out of your mouth. Damn. Jade on the other hand had everything a girl ,even models, wanted. Looks, shape, titties, ass, long hair, and a Jamaican accent. When you see her walking and you're with your man, you might as well hand him to her. Unless you give her yourself. Jade is bisexual, but she likes girls more than boys. She might as well be full blown gay.

"Eww! Bitch no, disgusting! Nobody wanna see what all you got. Morals bitch morals." I said putting my finger down my throat acting as if I was going to throw up.

"Whateva bitch! Mi know I'm fine. Yuh just hating." Jade says now mad. Her accent is deep when she gets upset. That's exactly why I like to get her mad. I may be straight but her accent makes a bitch pussy wet.

"Ha! Chill I was just playing. Back to this medical field. What's the highest paying medical career?" I said getting ready to look it up but Jade beats me to it.

"Anesthesiologists apparently. Google says the hourly pay is $95-$115." She says shocked.

"I don't even think that I can say that." I laugh. "But damn thats what I call moolah. How many years of college is it?"

Jade spits out her frappé when she reads what's next. "BOMBOCLATT! 16 years! That's my whole life. I'm not doing that. Fuck that shit."

"Well then that's settled. I'll be 37 years old when I'm done. Something I have to do to make it in life." I said now laying down on our cream white sectional.

"Well what are you going to say when the people ask you why you choose this career?" She says now sitting by me.

"I'm going to say that my family is based on the medical field. My mom and my grandmother was both nurses and I'm just trying to extend it. Thats what I'm going to tell them. Its not the truth but its not a lie either." I said proudly.

"Nah fuck that. I would tell them that the medical field is where the money at. A bitch trying to live luxurious and shit. I don't want to have to worry about another bill and I won't have to need from anybody anymore." Jade says directly.

"That's what you're going to tell them?"

"Yep!"

"Just like that? Exactly like that?"

"Fucking right."

"They going to decline you from coming to their school so fast bitch. You gonna be looking dumb ass fuck. I hope that I be there to see that shit too." I said dying from laughter.

"Yeah. Yeah, whatever. Anyway...hey Jo what's the update on that job you applied for. Receptionist wasnt it?" Jade points out.

"Yeah. I had an interview 2 weeks ago. I guess I didn't get the job. At least I tried." I said sadly going to the fridge to find something to munch on for the sadness that's overwhelming me.

"Awe. Best friend is gonna be okay. Everything is going to work out. I promise, just give it time." She comes over and hug me. God knows I need it.

"Thanks. See this is why I love you." I said hugging her back tighter.

She lets go of me. "Come on! That can't be the only reason."

"Of course it's not. It's just one of the top reasons." I said giving her a light smile.

"Better be." She laughs

Just then my phone rings. I pull it out and look at it. I hesitated to answer it because the number wasn't saved. "Answer it. It may be an important caller." Jade says walking away from me. So I do.

"Hello."

"Yes. May I speak to Journee Howard?" An unfamiliar female voice says.

"This is she. Who is this and how may I help you?"

"This is Raven with Altegra Health. We interview you a couple weeks ago."

Oh my God no way. "Yes. That's right."

"Well I'm calling you to inform you that you're hired. Please come by 9:30 tomorrow morning to complete some paperwork."

"Thank you so much Raven. I will be there on time."

"You're welcome and please do. Congratulations. Have a wonderful day Ms. Howard."

"You too."

Just My Luck.
