My Savior

chapter eleven

"Sorry, but I can't hire a 13 year old. Come back once you reached 15." The man went back to help out customers. I drop my head down in defeat. I picked up the newspaper crossing out the fourth place that was hiring in the classifieds. I pick my head up and walk to the next place that was hiring.

"Come on I need this job, you can even pay me half. I'll do what ever you say. "I beg the man Infront of me. This is the last place that posted an add on the classifieds. I really need this job to pay for the medical bills and utilities I think to myself.

"Look I said it before, you're too young and weak for this type of hard labor. Go play with your dolls or something." The man walks away from me and into the back. My stomach begins to grumble. It was already late afternoon , I haven't eaten anything all day. I didn't have to worry about my father getting fed since he was at the hospital treating an infection in his dialysis tubes.

"I hope he gets better." I wonder into a restaurant and sat in the far right right next to where a piano was. I take a seat, a waitress comes up to me and hands me a menu. I take it and start reading what they have.

"What would you like?"I checked to see how much money I have and saw I only had 80 ryo.

"Can I just have some Jasmine tea and a rice omelette." I tell her while giving her back the menu

"Sure coming right up." She smiles and walks away. I slump and hit my head on the table, it has been over a month and I still haven't gotten a job. At this rate I'll be homeless and fatherless. My tears were about to fall at the thought. Pulling me out from my sulking was a sound of calming music.

I lift my head and it towards the piano to see a black haired guy playing it. I saw how fluenlty he moved, how soothing and comforting the melody was. Once he finishes playing, he gets a round of applause and looks up. My eyes met his to see his deep sky blue eyes. He smiles at me and to everyone else, he continues to another piece.

"Here you go. One jasmine tea and rice omelette." She places the food Infront of me. I thank her and continue to look at the guy playing. She fallowed my sight to see the guy playing. She just chuckles. Shaking her head and walks away. I never heard the piano being performed live and yet with every piece he played I loved every second of it.

"Hey! We don't like free loaders, are you going to buy something else or what." The women scolded me. I didn't realize how much time past. I felt embarrassed and I was about to get up until someone calls out.

"She is with me, I hope that's not an issue." The guy playing the paino looks up while continue to play at the woman, only to have her blush and nod.

"Of course s-sorry about that." She stutters

"Don't worry about it." He half smiles and turns to look at me.

"Order anything you like it's on me." I shake my head refusing. He finishes the song,

"You like chocolate cake?" He asks still sitting at the piano. I look down at my clasped hands and nod once. Pretty sure I was turning red,

"Alright, two chocolate cakes please." The women just nodded and turned back to kitchen. I hear the chair being pulled back. I look up to see him sit down Infront of me.

"Why did you do that?" I ask him, he just waves his hand back and forth.

"Ah, I saw how sad you looked and thought to brighten your evening. I also noticed how interested you where by what I was playing, I liked that." He give a small smile at me ,I smile shyly back at him. I felt eyes were on me. I turn around to look at the other girls around the restaurant, and see I was getting hateful glares
