"And will that be all for you today?" I ask kindly to the man standing infront of me.
"Yes ma'am" he says taking out his wallet.
"Your total is 3.54" I say making his frape and giving it to him
"Thank you" we say to each other and he leaves"
Ok, my shift is over now. I can go home. Or more like hell. I take off my apron and put it in the back and avoid everyone's looks and small smiles as I walk past them. To avoid all of the people out front of the place I work, Starbucks, I go out the back door.
I walk out the back door with my backpack and I quickly run to the bus stop. I sit down and take out my phone that I paid for and I scroll through my Instagram feed.
I feel someone sit beside me on the bench by the bus stop so I politely say hi to them.
"Hey" I say realizing it's a boy around my age or alittle older.
"Oh hey!" He says alittle to rushed "my name is Jonah" he says looking around impatiently.
"My name is Rain...you know you seem rushed and in a hurry are you ok?" I ask as nice as I can.
"Oh yeah..it's just...my car broke down at Starbucks parking lot and I need my mom and dad and my phone is dead."
Right as he says that the clouds become darker and rain starts lightly falling.
"Great." Me and Jonah mumble at the same time.
"Hey you can use my phone if you want to call someone to help.." I say holding out my phone.
"Thank you so much!!" He says and calls someone, I am assuming his mom or dad, and then gives my phone back after typing something into my phone.
Just as he gives it back the bus arrives.
"Hey thanks for the phone!" He yells over the rain as it gets heavier every minute.
"Anytime!!" I yell back. I climb onto the bus and look out to window on the ride "home".
||Skip the bus ride||
I get home and ignore my drunk "mom" and I run upstairs. I change into sweatpants and a old tshirt from goodwill and I look at my dog Rudy and give him a small smile.
"I know it sucks living in a foster home...but I'll take care of us bud, I promise..." I say ruffling his hair and kissing the top of his head.
I walk downstairs making sure my "mom" is asleep and I grab some chips and a day old hot dog and some water and eat it fast down stairs and I grab some of her depression pills and some vodka and 2 cans of Red Bull. I run upstairs and hide them under my bed. Yeah. I'm 16 but life sucks. It's not fun... it's horrible.
Somehow although I have to survive. I have to live through this.
I hear my phone vibrate but I ignore it while I drift off to sleep.
||The Next Day||
"WAKE UP RAIN! RIGHT NOW!" these words ring through my ears as I open up my eyes.
"RAIN GO TO WORK NOW!" I hear my foster "mom" yelling at me. This sound drives me nuts and I can't help but yell back.
"OK IM UP! YOU GO TO WORK!" I yell back at her. She gets out of my room and slams the door on the way out.
"Rudy?" I ask. "Rudy....cmer boy...Rudy..." I look around my room wondering where he is. Usually he is hiding from the yelling and he comes out but right now he isn't. Then it all comes together. My "mom" hates Rudy but he is the only thing I have left. I love him. And now she is getting rid of him.
I jump out of bed and run down stairs and grab my baseball bat I hide under the couch and I run out side. My "mom" is pulling out of the driveway and then she sees me and stops.
"WHERE IS MY DOG!!" I yell walking fast towards the car.
" I threw him out on the road he will be fine," my "mom" says.
"SON OF A BITCH!" I yell at her through her rolled down widow.
I run to the street and as my "moms" cars back window is right behind me I use all my anger and throw my baseball bat through the back windshield and Rudy comes running to me. I grab Rudy and run into the house locking the door. I run upstairs and pet Rudy and loving him as he should be loved.
"I'm so sorry baby..."

I take a shower and change into my dirty white shoes and my cheap overalls and my necklaces that I love so much(above). Then I put my notebook and pencils my house keys, gum, extra bobby pins, and cigarettes into my blue jeans bag. I also put my hard worked for phone and mac book in my backpack and I tie my hair up in a high ponytail and I curl the extra hair to give it volume.
I put Rudy on a leash and bring his small blanket. I walk out of the house and go to Starbucks. I tell my "mom" I have work on this day but I just go there because they have free wifi and our apartments don't have that. We have to pay.
I let Rudy sleep on the small couch i am sitting on and I check my phone.
