Robyn POV 12:05 am I made it. I finally made it to Detroit. "Bye", I tell my brother, Rajad, as I hug him.
I then get out of the car with my bags and watch him speed off. He had his own plans to go to New York. I take out my phone to dial the woman who owned the 8 Mile Mobile Court.
I wanted to get to my new home as fast as possible. Well, not exactly a house but it doesn't matter, as long as I have a roof under my head. I quickly dial the number as I cant stand waiting in the cold any longer.
Pick up pick up, I say to myself as the phone rings.
"Hello", the lady says. "Hi, this is Robyn I spoke with you earlier to clarify I was almost here. Well, I'm here", I say.
There was a silent pause for a moment and a scrambling of papers could be heard, "Yes, yes, sorry what did you say your name was again?", She said.
I started getting nervous. Did I call the right number? "R-Robyn", I said nervously. "Yes okay, I had the keys to your trailer. I left them under the mat in front of the door almost an hour ago. You should really hurry, its pretty late",She said. "Okay, thank you, I will. Bye", I said as I hung up.
I started walking my way down the lines of trailers trying to spot mine. 1030,1031,1032, and finally 1033.
I check under the mat and sure enough there was the key. I open the door and make my way in. I turn on the lights and take a quick glimpse.
It wasn't as small as I thought. I then notice a paper on the kitchen counter and walk towards it, it was a letter from the lady, you know, now that I think about it I never got her name.
Anyways, the letter just said my first rent payment is due on January first, New Year's Day . Thats in like two weeks!
I need to get a job. I had brought $800 but had used $300 for food and gas on the way here. Besides its almost Christmas I need to buy everyone a pre- oh.
I forgot I don't know anyone here besides the lady who owns this trailer park and I don't even know her that well considering the fact I don't even know her name. I cant send my brother anything until he tells me his address.
Well, guess I'll save money not buying any Christmas related things except, maybe a stocking to make this place look more cheerful.
I started looking for where I would sleep considering it was about to be one in the morning and I was exhausted.
I didn't have time to look around to see if there was actually a bed, so I just put my hair up, flopped on to the couch and fell asleep. - Hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I wonder what job Robyn will get :)
