Angelica was a 24year old woman with a tragic life so far. Her dad died of cancer when she was 12, and that bankrupted her family of all their properties, estates, and money. Her family fought his cancer with all they had but it just wasn't good enough. After her dad passed her mom couldn't keep her job for long because of her depression. She turned to drinking her problems away which lost her a great career. Ever since that they started living from pay check to pay check. Before she was 16 she started working. She practically had to raise herself from there on out.
Her many part time jobs, summer internships and many other projects gave her an opportunity to save up for at least two years of college. She had long came to the realization that her mom won't be able to support her and student loans were out of the question because she's been helping pay the left over of her dads medical bills. Ever since she can remember her life has been always and only about paying bills. She couldn't enjoy the pleasures of fellow teens her age. Now in her final year of high school, moving out, and moving away from her mother, bills, and all responsibilities, are all she can think of.
She came home one night from her part time job at the restaurant. She checked her moms room and she wasn't there. She shrugged and closed the door thinking she must be working late into the night. Ever since her mom destroyed her career she too has been working odd jobs to keep them both afloat.
When she woke up that early morning at 3am to use the bathroom she noticed her mom still wasn't home. She began calling her phone hysterically. Lucky some lady picked up.
"mom where are you, I've been worried sick?" she waited to hear her moms voice but instead a frantic unfamiliar voice answered? "Hi this is St Martha's hospital the owner of this phone, your mom I presume had a fatal accident from a hit and run on her way home, we'll need you to come as soon as possible".
The phone dropped out of her hands, she stood were she was in total shock and horror. Her mom on the verge of death, made her feel more alone than she'd ever been before. What cruel fate did this life have for her? She pondered as she rushed out of the house to the hospital.
As severeal weeks passed, several expensive procedures to keep her mom alive, missed graduation and college orientations, her mom gave up the ghost.
A listless and worn out Angelica sat in the hospital hallway. Starring into oblivion thinking of where to go from here. She didn't even have the time nor the luxury to mourn for her mom. She had no family or friends close by. Ever since her dad passed her and her mom moved and severed all ties with their past luxurious life in new York. She was truly alone now in the world. She had to cover funeral costs, medical bills, etc. Forget college she needed a quick fix for money and fast.She picked up extra shifts at her three part time jobs, and even got a roommate in order to keep her apartment. Even with all that she was still barely staying afloat.
She sat in the living room starting at all the bills she had to pay and the ones she had to delay when her roommate came in. She was a sweet girl with a naughty side. She and Angelica had grown close over the past 4years of living together. They even took a secretary certification training that helped them get better jobs even though financially things were still rough. Lucky for Amy she only had to worry about her personal expenses and school tuition while Angelica didn't even have the luxury to go to school
"hey And whatchu up to?" she asks as she enters the kitchen and grabs a beer before walking over to the living room to join her. "Girl! These bills will be the death of me. Even with my secretary job at the dentist and restaurant job with tips am still not making it work." she slumped into her chair folding her arms and bowing her head.
"this is why I always say you need a man. A sugar daddy will make all your troubles go away. Or at least a rich frat guy with a trust fund to spend". The two girls burSt out laughing. Amy always knew how to lighten up her mood even in her darkest of times.
"Amy I need neither of the two. My last relationship failed and I wasn't even after money. Just love and companionship but he was always self conscious about whether I will beg him for money and complained that I didn't have enough time for him with my many jobs. So no thank you, men are not a good addition to my life". shaking her head she packed up her bills envelopes and starting making way to her room.
"stop Amy said I can't take this any more. Angelica you are an incredible woman with a banging body. I hate to see you just waste your life away like this. You need at least some love or you know "Lovin" to feel alive even just for a moment. Your only 22 damn8t. " she said pleadingly as she looked at Angelica. "your long bbrunette curly hair, rack the size of a nursing mother, and a backside big enough to keep you warm all winter, hmmm every woman's dream body". Angelica couldn't contain herself anymore she burst into laughing tears. I'm beginning to think you might have a thing for me, she said dissaprovingly to Amy. "no hun Its just my envy talking I wish I had that body. My plain Jane chest isn't exactly working for me okay? Haha but my blonde hair and blue eyes is sometimes enough to get a drink at the club"
"you need to stop all this clubbing and frat parties, they are nothing but trouble", Angelica warmed.
"yes mom, Amy shot back. Oh yes that reminds me that big law firm down on 22nd Ave is looking for a secretary for their new partner. I thought about applying but my job now has so many handsome men that come in, I just can't give up my eye candy. But I think you should apply, they will probably pay you double what you make now."
"Oh mG Amy are you for real? Thats just what I need but I'm not sure my experience and expertise will be adequate to fill that position. Its better to know my limitations " she continueed for her room.
"wait! Just wait a second. There is no point in giving up. Submitting an application in person tomorrow won't do any harm. The worst they can do is not hire you, however the best will be an amazing new job. Within a year you can be debt free and the following year back in school part time. " Ang spinned on her heels intrigued
" may be it's not such a bad idea" as they both agreed and retired to their rooms.
Angelica couldn't in a million years predict what chaos and good fortune was heading her way.
